I thoroughly enjoyed the performance of this well written novel. I could sense the emotions and felt I knew characters. The Impressionist painters are brought to life and only enhanced my appreciation of their work. I recommend this novel to art lovers who want to escape to the Impressionist period and imagine life during that period.

Being a language major and intrigued by coding, this was the perfect combination for me. I was impressed by their ability to break code written in other alphabets or characters as well as their ability and their resolve to keep their work totally secret not only at the time but also into the future. They were incredible women and patriots. I highly recommend this book!

I thoroughly enjoyed both the story of Ms. Tyson’s life and her performance in reading it. It mesmerized me to the point that I totally lost track of time and was brought to tears at times. I’ve always admired her as an actress and now, having heard her story and her experiences, I have more admiration and respect for her as a person. Thank you for sharing your life, Miss Tyson.

History entwines with a murder and love story. What could be better? It starts off slowly with a lot of historical detail but sick with it. Well worth the listen.

I strongly recommend this book. I thought I knew a lot about Abraham Lincoln and was surprised how much I learned. My admiration for him is even higher than it was before..

When I bought this book, I expected a story of the horrors of Auschwitz and that was there. What I didn’t expect were the insights into the psychology of overcoming trauma and healing after tremendous tragedy. I was also surprised to learn that the author came from the same geographical area as my great grandparents which added another dimension for me. The reader’s accent made the telling more vivid so that I was transported to that place and time. This is not an enjoyable book as it didn’t give me pleasure. It is an important book which recalls the horrific experiments conducted under Hitler which should never be forgotten. I don’t think I’ll ever forget her descriptions of Mengele as he separated prisoners or when he asked her to dance. Highly recommended...I plan to listen to this book again.

Having read Fire and Fury, I had to read Fear by Bob Woodward to get the true story, written in Mr. Woodward’s clear, honest style. This is a compelling look at the internal workings of the Trump White House. Woodward’s depiction of meetings clearly illustrates the issues with the current President. In my opinion, it is both believable and frightening.
