There is a lot I dislike about this book. Mainly the storyline is very predictable and unrealistic. TBH I don’t know why I finished the book. This is the 3rd book by this author I’ve listened to so I blame myself. None have been very good in my opinion. Very predictable plots and storylines. Unrealistic plots and twists.

Honestly not much of a story line out of the gate. Pretty disappointed. I made it about 30% through and still couldn’t get into the story, or lack of a good story.

I loved this book. Beginning to end. Normally I listen to books at 2.5x speed but this one I had to slow it down. Didn’t want to miss one word. Completely invested in the MC’s from start to finish.

Extremely disjointed and felt like things were rushed and missing. Not much character building. It was just overall not great. Disappointed

Each story was way too rushed. It was lacking so much depth of story and characters.

There was nothing to dislike. This may well be one of my favorite books by this author. Just fantastically well written. So many facts and information. You can’t help but want to be a conservationist after books like these. Well done.

This book may be great. I cannot get over the narrator. He’s absolutely awful. As a mom who listens a to audiobooks as I work, I do not want to hear whining voices. It’s also really hard to follow the story because you can’t determine the ages of the kids. He whines everything for the children so in reality when the boy is like 15ish I thought he was still 5-6 it really confused me.

Just disappointed as I think there is an interesting story hidden here but I can’t go any further in the book as my nerves are on edge.

I didn’t like it. Like at all. It was a good read. Felt historically accurate. Sadly, the ending was realistic but I still hated it.

I often am hesitant to listen/read another book on the holocaust or WW2 but this one was part of Plus so I figured, why not?

It was such an inspiring read. The mere fact that they survived was amazing but the community they created within the forest was incredible. It is amazing what one persons hope can do in a seemingly hopeless situation. Sad that this doesn’t get more attention and it was sad to hear about Tuvia Bielski’s life after the war. Definitely a great find and don’t regret the listen at all.

This book was tragic, amazing, and powerful. Dear God though the narration for me was so bad I almost quit. Super melodramatic and really took away from the actual words. I’m disappointed because it made it tough to get through and minimized a very serious topic.
