One of the most acclaimed novels in recent memory, Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain is a masterpiece that is at once an enthralling adventure, a stirring love story, and a luminous evocation of a vanished American in all its savagery, solitude, and splendor.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Cold Mountain?
Could not listen to the book, as the narration was so bad
Any additional comments?
I feel bad for rating the story at all, the truth is, the narration was so bad, it was impossible for me to get started listening to it, and I tried 3 times to enjoy it, as the book itself was so highly recommended by a friend. Oh well.

Would you try another book from Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton and/or Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton ?
Probably not
Has The Carrot Principle turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, on the contrary, if you are looking to believe in the concept of employee recognition, they give plenty of numbers and studies that back up the idea the recognizing and rewarding employees is the way to go, however, I found the words 'study', 'research', were way overused. I just wanted to know how to do it better than I am already doing.
