This is the saga of the Hittite King Suppiluliumas, and rings with authenticity and the passion of a world that existed 1400 years before the birth of Christ. They called him Great King, Favorite of the Storm God, the Valiant. He conquered more than forty nations and brought fear and war to the very doorstep of 18th Dynasty Egypt, but he could not conquer the one woman he truly loved.

It took me a while to appreciate the beauty of this story. Listening to The Sun's narration of his life was absolutely intriguing. His character developed beautifully and the story around him was original and captivating. The narrator is among the best and gives The Sun a memorable voice whose expression conveys the author's words wonderfully.

One of today's premier biographers, Jean Edward Smith, has written a modern, comprehensive, indeed ultimate book on the epic life of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This is a portrait painted in broad strokes and fine details. We see how Roosevelt's restless energy, fierce intellect, personal magnetism, and ability to project effortless grace permitted him to master countless challenges throughout his life. Smith recounts FDR's personal battles and also tackles head-on and in depth the numerous failures and miscues of Roosevelt's political career.

Great but ends too suddenly

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely. The story of FDR is extremely inspirational and enjoyable. I found many of his speeches humorous and this man's character was astonishing.
Which scene was your favorite?
The first 100 days of his presidency.
Any additional comments?
The narrator wasn't anything special but I did enjoy his voice. The only qualm I have with this title is how it didn't cover FDR's legacy or the events immediately following his death. For such a happy and cheerful man, his biography ended on a sad note :(
