This might be my favorite O/Reilly book yet. Fascinating history of the Revolutionary war. Many interesting historical twists and anecdotes that I was not aware of.

Just OK

What would have made Wrong Town: A Mark Landry Novel better?

Mark Landry seemed to be a character with lots of potential, he just didn't really do that much. Based on the advertisements, I really expected a lot more action.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The reader did a great job.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I purchased this book based on Facebook ads that compared these to, among others, Vince Flynn novels. C'mon, Mitch Rapp did more in the opening segment of the first chapter than Mark Landry did in the entire book.

What did you like best about Dreamers and Deceivers? What did you like least?

I am a fan of Glen Beck but I lust did not find the stories to be all that interesting. Most didn't really hold my interest.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Jeremy Lowell?

Sure

I Tried it But It Is Just Not For Me

Revisado: 04-12-14

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I can see where many would enjoy this book, the narrator did a fine job, the story just didn't work for me. My problem is, what some will like about the story, taking characters that I have been familiar with all of my life, and changing them completely, making them all evil didn't help. Making them so different is what did not work for me.

Has Dorothy Must Die turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

What aspect of Devon Sorvari’s performance would you have changed?

None

What A Nice Surprise

Revisado: 12-27-12

Where does Listening Is an Act of Love rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very different, very entertaining

Who was your favorite character and why?

This was a series of interviews that were performed (usually) between friends and family members. It was usually loving insight into parts of peoples lives. I did enjoy hearing this short book a lot more than I thought that I would.

What about Dave Isay’s performance did you like?

Dave Issay really only did the introduction

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Most of the interviews were really wonderful. I believe that I had a smile on my face almost throughout, that is when my eyes were not tearing up.

Any additional comments?

I wish that there were more.

No Need To Pile On

Revisado: 12-07-12

What would have made The Land of Painted Caves better?

Wasn't this supposed to be the last installment of the Ayla story? That was my understanding and, to be honest, the only reason that I fought through it. I have to assume that it is not the last because the same questions that all of us had were not answered. The story had nothing really, it wad quite dull. Occasionally there were story line set-ups that in past books would have gone into a very exciting direction that just went nowhere. If you want to listen, start in the middle of part three and go from there. The beginning could have been titled The Land of Ancient Domestic Life. By the way, I thought that Sandra Burr did a very good job reading.

Good Book

Would you consider the audio edition of Stealing the General to be better than the print version?

I have only listened to the audio version.

Have you listened to any of Bronson Pinchot’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to any other of Mr Pinchot's readings that I am aware of. I did not realize until after I had completed parts 1 and 2 that he was the reader being familiar with one of his past tv series. I did think, quite a few times during listening to the book that the narrator was very good.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, it was too long for that.

Any additional comments?

I have had this book on my wish list for many months but I only recently got it because it was on sale for 4.95. I have listened to many audiobooks on the civil war. I had read the summary and thought "what the heck". After a slow start, this was a fascinating story that I was not aware of. I found it to be very entertaining and highly recommend it.

Good Listen

Revisado: 11-12-07

I was really excited when I saw that this book was released on audiobook. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed in this audio book. I wanted more detail on the incredible bands and the wonderful songs that Clapton was involved in, this was usually short treated. To be honest, I found the guy to be a bit whiney. I got tired of hearing about his women. Sometimes you learn more in biographies than you ever wanted to know.

Very Good

Revisado: 05-31-07

What a great audio book. I bought it over a year ago and never got around to listening to it. Last week I was painting the house interior and had some time so I gave it a listen. I was very impressed. The story is facinating. I thought that I had an idea of the history but I really knew none of the facts. It is very well written and very well read. It is a complicated story with many characters. It was not difficult to keep up with all of the different story lines and characters. I certainly recommend this title
