But having the GN wouldn't be necessary. I loved listening to this while going along in the graphic novel though. Excellent feel of ambiance and background sounds. Top notch production!

Very entertaining, witty and about as "fun" if you can call it that, that these horrific leaders could be. I was very impressed with the way it was put together.

Mostly the headline covers it. It's not long, but I learned what I wanted to learn. I'll be continuing with the series.

One of the few battles between battleships, the story of the Scharnhorst is exciting and deserves it's own story despite often being overshadowed by the Bismarck chase. Winton told the story brilliantly! This book seems to be well researched. The author included backgrounds on the significant people - not too detailed, but interesting. The narrator did a fantastic job!

Overall I'd recommend this to anyone interested in naval history. I wish Audible had more books like this!

And he did a fantastic job narrating! This is my introduction to Stephen King. I started here both because the rating was so good and because Mr. King said this is his creepiest book. It didn't disappoint!

It was the most in depth book I've read about Lusitania. Overall I really enjoyed it and learned several new things.

Only two things bugged me. The first was that some areas delved too much into off topic narratives. I don't see how the entire romantic adventures of President Wilson had anything to do with the story. We understand that he struggled with certain decisions and that's likely why that extra is included but I felt it wasn't necessary. That's not to say that it was uninteresting or boring, it just didn't seem to fit with this story. I felt the book could have been 9-10 hrs and still told the ship's story in depth.

secondly and somewhat minor, the author says Lusitania was the largest luxury liner afloat in one spot. Olympic, sister to Titanic, was substantially larger.

Everything else is fantastic, hence the 4 stars and 5 overall. The narrator did a good job.

I really enjoyed this look at USS Nevada. I wish there were more books in audio about warships along this line.

I enjoyed the book. I may or may not continue with the series though. It'll probably depend on a sale. There are so many good to fantastic books on Audible... It's not that this book is "bad," it's more that it's just not as good as others.

It's like an action movie. Fun, exciting - even thrilling to a point, but not particularly realistic. As long as you go into it with that mindset it'll be enjoyable just as action movies are often enjoyable. At the same time, check your sense of realism at the door :) It certainly kept me listening but some of the science and mechanics of how things "happen" made me mentally facepalm.

I already knew about the mystery surrounding this event and had read some on it. I found this book to be very well put together and quite fascinating. I also thought the end conclusions were realistic and believable.
