Story
Eddie Chapman was a charming criminal, a con man, and a philanderer. He was also one of the most remarkable double agents Britain has ever produced. Inside the traitor was a man of loyalty; inside the villain was a hero. The problem for Chapman, his spymasters, and his lovers was to know where one persona ended and the other began.

I’ve heard Ms Pat on the Bob and Tom show over the years and have heard a bit of her story from that. At times funny and other times heartbreaking. A success story like no other.

Such an interesting listen. The beginning seemed a little too simplistic at first but it evolved into such an amazing story of perseverance and pride.

The book seems to come with an agenda instead of a story. I was very interested until it seemed like the story was headed in a feminist direction as opposed to just telling the story.

Story
Why we think it’s a great listen: A masterpiece like none other, Brooks’ powerful performance of Haley’s words has been known to leave listeners in tears. It begins with a birth in an African village in 1750, and ends two centuries later at a funeral in Arkansas. And in that time span, an unforgettable cast of men, women, and children come to life, many of them based on the people from Alex Haley's own family tree.

Amazing.
Reviewed: 07-05-18
I watched the mini series Roots as a child. Reading/listening was so much better. There were many things I had forgotten and more that likely never were part of the tv story. We must remember our history to learn from it. Sadly slavery was a large part of what built this country as in many other countries. Thankfully we changed.
