The Miners Are The Heroes

Revisado: 10-18-21

Greed and deception of the mine owners resulted in the loss of so many miners lives. Safety of the miners must be a priority in order to decrease these kinds of incidents. To this day there are still flaws in the system.

Wonderful but sad - Excellently written

Revisado: 09-10-21

The way the author has given us so much detail about Rick’s life prior to 9-11 proved to be the story of an amazing person. I was overwhelmed with sadness as I finished the last chapter. It has been 20 years since this all this took place but I remember what happened very clearly. None of us have ever been the same.

This story is one child’s memory of his experiences going through the Holocaust during World War II. From the beginning it is interesting with good character development as the story line moves forward. Getting to know the child telling the story I felt sadness and pity for him. (**Alert** Mr. Veffer includes brief comments of sexual assaults.) I recommend Mr. Veffer’s memories to you if you are interested in hearing (reading) how even children have the ability to survive horrific events in their lives.

Excellent, heartbreaking, and inspirational

Revisado: 03-25-20

I was very intrigued to read this book after I had read “The Elephant Whisperer” which was written by this author’s husband. After Lawrence Anthony, Francoise Anthony’s husband died, Francoise became the owner of Thula Thula. Francoise and Lawrence built Thula Thula from very humble beginnings. Over the years, Francoise was determined to keep Thula Thula open in spite of the many obstacles set before her. I love the way Francoise continued to press forward with the dream she and Lawrence had shared. A stunning story of animal survival even though being brutally hunted and treated by humans. A wonderful book to read!

Disappointing

Revisado: 03-01-20

I enjoyed the story of Jimmy Stewart for the most part. His military service was outstanding and something I had never heard too much of.

I did not expect to hear about the great Jimmy Stewart’s sex life in detail and the many recognizable Hollywood female stars. That stuff could have been left out and the book would have been much more satisfying for me.

Would I recommend this book? NO. There are probably much better books than this one out there. I am returning this book to audible.

Exceptional historical story

Revisado: 02-20-20

I had heard of this book while listening to the “Jim Bohannon Show on the Westwood One Network”. Then when I saw this book on audible.com I knew I had to read (listen to) it.

The author included great detail about the men involved in the incident from their youth, their interest in flying, and how they became pilots for their respective military service - one man from the United States and one man from Germany during World War ll. Technically they were enemies but the circumstance they were involved in showed the humanity, compassion, and integrity of the German pilot who risked so much in order to assist the Americans whose airplane was severely damaged get to safety.

Both men wondered what happened to the other pilot for years! Eventually they were able to find each other and meet. They had a wonderful reunion that took place during peacetime. They were both curious as to why the other acted the way they did during that short encounter while doing battle in the sky.

I love the way their meeting took place all those years later after the war ended. It was exciting to listen to and I didn’t want the book to end. I recommend this to anyone!

Fascinating story

Revisado: 02-16-20

This story is remarkable, fascinating, has lots of detail, and I was cheering for Kristen as I listened to the book. I did not appreciate all the foul mouth language - there’s just too much for a story like this. Authors should not read their own book...

Great!

Revisado: 02-04-20

This was so interesting and I wanted it be true. It is based on events but it just isn’t enough. With the technology of today perhaps more evidence could be found. I definitely recommend believers and skeptics to listen to this book. Just what did happen to Amelia Earhart?

Inspiring

Revisado: 01-17-20

This story of one woman who survived through many trials but overcame them through her love for music and other people became an excellent inspiration for myself to never give up.
