I really enjoyed listening to this podcast series. it opened my eyes on a few things I hadn't thought of yet. while reminding me of other things I did know. I like that she includes the source notes for studies that she referenced.

Alex Wells spends a good deal of time getting the reader to fall in love with the main characters. I found myself rooting for them and aching to come back to the book whenever I had to stop. The setting is sort of wild-west, while being ruled by an uncaring company agency. It made me think of how our own railroad workers may have lived...except that this is on a totally different planet. Overall, I found the book fun and leaving me wanting more.

As for the narrator, she is very talented but took some getting used to before I decided I liked her for these characters. But by the end, I was hoping the next book will be read by her.

This book is one man's experience in going to war with the Marines in Vietnam. It is heart wrenching and yet gives hope in the human condition. As a young and fairly recent veteran, I enjoyed hearing what he experienced and it gave me a chance to ponder my own experiences in the military and civilian d.o.d.

There are many interjections of his current thoughts, ideas, and reflections. He references many texts of greek mythology and German mythology. Overall, it is a book I think most soldiers need to read/hear.

Warning: There is some splitting of male and female or masculine and feminine that more recent vets may disagree with our fall to understand . But, I found it gentle and respectful, as a female. There is also some use of the Judeo-Christian ideas. Same gentleness applies.

The reader has a sort of fitting, older wiser male soldier tone.

I love this book and of course the movie that first introduced me to it. The text is so descriptive and I'm easily drawn into the story as if I am there.

The narrator has a wonderful voice and reads as if this is her favorite book too. There's even some singing, which I would never try when reading the text. Fantasy and history meld together in this love story.

I've listened more than once and each time, I catch different things I missed or didn't remember initially.

I know many people don't want such a long book, but it will keep you enthralled. I doubt you will regret giving it a listen.
