I loved this book. It’s hard for me to imagine reading instead of listening to it since the voice of Tom Hanks was such an integral part of the experience. Vivid characters and a story that pulls you along in a deceptively casual way.

Not Stanford’s best, but enjoyable. I found the narrator to be a little distracting - overly dramatic with a “…just the facts, Ma’am” style that seemed a little forced. But I settled into it after awhile. The story started a little slow but picked up the pace at the end and overall was entertaining and kept my attention.

This is a wonderful book and great for the Audible format. I was struck by the vivid, dramatic language, artfully written and performed. Historic details and stories are interwoven with personal experiences and commentaries to build a stark and powerful picture of how we have become the country we are. As a white person, I appreciate the expression of hope, tempered with realism, that it is possible for our collective humanity to create a better today and tomorrow by understanding and accepting out past.

Beautifully written and performed. The author intricately weaves a story about intense human experiences with knowledge and description of the Carolina marshes. Well done.
