Best book I’ve read in a long time. Simultaneously heart warming and heart wrenching, with characters I won’t forget. Narration was exceptional!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book - I had no frame of reference about leprosy before reading it, so definitely learned a lot. Good story and narration, memorable characters, and interesting plot - I enjoyed it!

Simple but touching story, with endearing characters. I found myself looking forward to chances to listen to this one, which is not always the case. Narration was really enjoyable, too.

Hard to know where to start with this book. Characters and story? A+. Detailed and extensive research? A+. Masterful and creative storytelling? A+. Talented, dynamic, and enthralling narration? A+.
I would consider myself well-read in WWII historical fiction, but this book craftily blends extensive facts and details with memorable and well developed characters to show readers sides of the pacific action rarely talked about, and a look into German leadership rarely discussed. Hard to pick a book to follow this that would have a fraction of depth that this book does. One of my favorites and very much with the investment of time.

I don’t know what I loved more - the story of this brother and sister and their amazingly close and meaningful relationship - OR - the perfect narration of Tom Hanks. Together, it lands in the top 5 of all books I’ve ever listened to. Highly highly recommend.

Alan’s stories are touching, funny, and so well told, that the book was over before I knew it. I feel like I’ve made a new friend. Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Before listening to this book, I knew who Dave Grohl was, but not much more. Now? I count myself as a huge fan, and am appreciative of not only his music, but of who he is as a person, and his bravery and individuality in the music business. I adore that he narrated the book as well, made it even better and relatable. A+++
