I’ve read dozens of WW2 biography/auto biography/first person account books as well a hundreds of books on the subject, it was obvious this man could tell quite the “story”. He certainly put himself on a pedestal with his telling his superiors what to do, getting blown up into the air with relatively minor injuries, getting..
I liked the authenticity of the description of how the lack of resources were a factor in the tragedy. The narrative, of the background of the family and friends was thorough.Voice actor had a clear and compelling manner of portraying the characters
I’m sure this is me being too nit-picky, but I could not get past the wrong accent for Texans and the pronunciation of some of the southern words and names. I’m from south Louisiana so it bothered me for silly reasons. Anyway, the story was a little slow. I enjoyed a lot of aspects of..
This was a creative story. I actually wasn’t going to finish it because the first 2/3rds of the book were not very interesting.

Review from Selling Boldly →
Simple strategies that work well. I like it. His other stuff is good too. The color scheme and everything is bright and positive.

My biggest complaint is how slowly the narrator speaks. I listened to most of it at 1.5x speed. The rest was 2x. Somewhere in the mid-twenties chapters the audio starts including heavy breathing sounds that drove me INSANE. But, this did eventually go away again. Regarding the actual story… meh? It’s ok, I guess. I..
Review from Power →
The beginning had me excited, but that faded quickly when the MC and cast took the country bumpkin approach to being given power. Casually, painfully, slowly leveling. Just an egregious waste of plot armor smh. These guys are just skating through the apocalypse, getting laid in the shade as well lol smh. Try it if..
I read this book when I was in 9th grade. It seems much more simplistic and improbable now but was still just as enjoyable and entertaining.
