Edith Stein

Revisado: 05-02-24

This is the second of Danielle’s WW2 books I have listened to. While I liked ECHOS more, I want to focus on the historical quality of ONLY THE BRAVE. The facts about the rise of the Nazis was quite compelling. While hard to hear, I could not stop. In both books, DS told the brave story of Edith Stein, a Jew turned Catholic nun who spoke bravely about the rise and dangers of Hitler. Edith was a real person, a brave person. Thank you for telling this story with such attention to accuracy.

Also , I found the narration to be slow and cold. It could have been a lot better.

Not among my fave DS books.

Revisado: 03-08-24

I liked some of the characters, but the story was just too complicated. Having Ron McClarty narration kept me listening, but I didn’t make it to the end.

I didn’t expect to like it so much.

This book was full of surprises. After a few chapters I just relaxed and let the story lead me along. There were a few Pollyanna moments, but that was okay.

Narration was fabulous. Thanks DS.

I loved Frankie from the very beginning. Then, Ethel and Barb, who taught her to be a combat nurse. I was afraid to start this book,and then I could not stop listening. Thank you so much Kristen. After I listen to this book a few more times, I’ll be waiting for the next one.

Too obvious

Great lessons for young women. For me, it was way too generic. DS is much better than this.

A Brave Woman and the Holocaust.

Revisado: 01-28-24

This story is so well constructed and the details were presented in a bold and clear way. The narrator was so perfect for the story. It’s a message of hope and love. Thanks to Danielle for putting so much love and care into this book. Everything is possible, even in the face of so much horror. 🙏♥️

One of the Best DS books!

Revisado: 01-20-24

I loved this book from the first paragraph. For me, many DS books start slowly, or the beginning doesn’t have much to do with the story. With THE HOUSE, I loved Sarah and Stanley from the very beginning. The book was very well constructed. It was one of those DS books that made me wish DS wrote in series. Thanks , DS.

I did not like this one…

Revisado: 01-09-24

Often, the things I like the least in a Danielle Steel book are the time she takes to get to the point. This time, it took longer than most. Add in the really show narration, and I did not like this at all. I dew the line at 3 stars because I tend to enjoy many of her books. If it had been my first DS book, I would never read another.

What Happens??

Revisado: 12-23-23

I loved the characters so much. I could feel their feelings. The hard part about a that the ending was so abrupt. It was like the book police swooped in and stole DS’s pens and ran away. I often wish DS would write some series or epilogue so we could follow the myriad journeys. India and Paul. Paul and Sam. The list goes on. I love those people and admire the way face their paths.

I Liked it so much, I listened twice

Revisado: 08-17-23

While I’m a good California liberal, I spent some years living in Atlanta. I appreciated the the New York/ South Carolina thread, the family tensions and how they played out. I loved the character development. There was someone for everybody. I have started many DS books bot not read all of them to the end. I’m not sure where this one falls on a chronological list, but in Southern Lights, we’re given a very mature presentation. Good people good story. Thanks DS.
