Beautiful narrator voice

Revisado: 11-22-24

A fascinating look into British WW1 history. Accurate, never before known. Astonishing security lapses and a love story.

This is fascinating history that even I, a history buff did not know.

Excellent narrator. A fair and brilliantly written biography of one of the 20th century’s nearly forgotten movers and shakers. So very personal and colorful! Pam Churchill Harriman would be proud of this book.

As always a brilliant and completely original story that has you listening at midnight. Excellent narration. Long and winding but absolutely worth the effort.

Very well written and beautifully read, but…

Revisado: 08-20-24

This is an extraordinary work, highly personal and obviously well researched but at a certain point I’d had enough because no matter how brilliant the text it was all made up, supposed, as if Jackie had really spoken those secret intimate thoughts only she could say or think…The reader so much wants it to be real, a revelation, marvelous new history. But it isn’t. After about half the book the story sits heavily like a second slice of rich cake you have no business eating. Brilliant but fake. Nicely read though.

Story Beyond Believability

Revisado: 08-15-24

This author reads beautifully and she’s a gifted writer. The trouble is the reader tries very hard to take the story seriously even for the sake of keeping one’s attention on the fast paced action. A ridiculous premise about super rich people who tempt innocent young women into a mechanized house of terrors with moving walls and fast appearing trick coffins. Such a terrifically talented writer. I wish she’d try a simpler and more believable story. Then she’d write a memorable book!

Beautifully Told Story of Famous but Modest People

Revisado: 08-04-24

Laura Bush tells a heartfelt story of her journey from a small Texas town to the heights of international recognition. She is at her best when she writes of her life as a young woman, honest, unsparing and aware of the conflicts that bedevil us all. She is, in short, wonderfully frank and such a true Texan, in the best sense of the word.
Yet she does not acknowledge if she ever disagreed with her husband's ill fated policy in Iraq, the marker of his Presidency. I'd like to know because I suspect Laura is a head and a half smarter than the President.
This book is very well read in her lovely Texas twang. There are no holds barred from the non-political life and upbringing. Absolutely worth reading. Plaudits: Laura Bush!

Brilliant Bunch of Stories

Revisado: 08-04-24

This book is six stories and a novella, all surprising, utterly original and loads of fun to listen to, particularly in the dulcet tones of Eduardo Ballerini, the new star of narrator's!

The Usual Characters

Revisado: 07-22-24

Daniel Silva has created a whole new career for his indomitable Gabriel Allon. Missing masterpiece bloodhound. I am sorry but this story lost me when the author states that his talented hero was able to convincingly forge a Monet, a Van Gogh, a Cezanne and a Lautrec all in one week and pass them off as real. No one could manage this. It takes weeks to create a proper forgery. I can understand avoiding the politics of Israel given current events but the story is anodyne. It lopes from scene to scene involving complex money laundering but not Silvia’s best work. Eduardo Ballerini is a first rate narrator as always.

Loved the narrator. A brilliant story of espionage and its victims. So well constructed. Sorry it’s over!
