Gut Wrenching

Revisado: 04-24-25

Soooooo. When I say I love it. I have to say that I love it because it's excellent writing and gripping storytelling. This story punches you in the face, then kicks you in the gut, and finally says thank's for reading.

I can see why Conrad Richter is a pulizer prize winner, and these stories are truly a work of literary genius, but wow! You will feel the feels.

a story we must all hear

Revisado: 02-13-25

Well written? Of course. But that does not do justice to the book. the excellent crafting of so many individual experiences into a grand tapestry of the cost and impact of american internment camps during ww2 and the amazing people who despite being labeled as enemy aliens stayed loyal and supportive of the USA while dealing with their own conflicts is a story that all people must hear.

I would go so far as to say, this should be requited reading for schools.

I could listen to David McCullough all day. He's one of the few authors who can read his books as well as he writes them. this speech is worth listening to again and again.

The first time the movie was better.

Revisado: 10-12-24

The biggest problem with this book is that every single character is utterly dislikeable.

Totally a product of toxic masculinity invading the man verses nature theme.

In this case, I wanted the shark to win, and for the first time I can say, the movie was better than the book.

Excellent Book

Revisado: 07-13-21

I really loved this book. Henry Louis Gates, Jr is a superb reader and the information in this book is enlightening and enriching. It helped me better understand my own unconscious prejudices, misconceptions, and filled in gaps in my historical knowledge that I should have paid attention to years ago.

My only critique of the title is that as an audiobook at times I would forget what the dates were that were mentioned and it's not easy to review the information that was stated without skipping back 30 seconds or more if I had to come back to it after taking a break. It probably would have been better as a paperback for me for that reason alone, It has nothing to do with the content. When you have information that jumps through the span of human history in the way this does, it can be difficult at times to keep track of where and when.

However, what I really want now is the TV documentary series of this book.

Simply put this book is wonderful. I've read many histories and memoirs of submarine warfare in WW2 and this is one of the best.

Another Great Read

Revisado: 06-02-20

This book was not only performed well, it is one of Sir Terry Pratchett's finest works. I'd say that there is fun for ages 8 and up in this book. While a child may enjoy the surface story of Maurice and his Educated Rodents adults will love the deep layers of commentary and faith in human nature and interactions. I loved this book.

Informative and Entertaining

Revisado: 06-02-20

I really enjoyed the writing of this book. I was educated and yet not at all lost or bored with the science. The author is able to explain complex systems in a simple manner without watering down the science too much. I also loved that it answered so many great questions about the gut.
