Motown never sounded so good!

The author does a great job of capturing a biracial community in Detroit. The narrator does the excellent job of using the right inflexions and the right timing in reading the text. I've enjoyed all 3 of the novels and I would recommend them to anyone. They have the right mix of adventure, of intrigue, and of humor.

great setup and back stories of key characters. although Walter is a southern man, he does a good job of capturing northern attitudes.

Great story, poor narration

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
It was, but the voice of the narrator was grating.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes. The writer had a lot of backstory completion to accomplish.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
His voice was muffled, low, and gravelly.
Do you think Back to War needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Yes. Many variations can be made on the premise that this book presents.
