Story
Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

Too short

Too short, too simple. Not worth the time even though very short. Could have been a more in depth plot

Terrible! Story was thin and uninteresting. Characters were predictable and wooden. Plot lacked excitement. Just a terrible book. And narrator was lousy too

Story
Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of World War II, which begins with The Winds of War and continues here in War and Remembrance, stands as the crowning achievement of one of America's most celebrated storytellers. Like no other books about the war, Wouk's spellbinding narrative captures the tide of global events - and all the drama, romance, heroism, and tragedy of World War II - as it immerses us in the lives of a single American family drawn into the very center of the war's maelstrom.

Story
It was a devastating triple punch. Capping their four-year campaign to destroy the Trump presidency, the media portrayed a Democratic victory as necessary and inevitable. Big Tech, wielding unprecedented powers, vaporized dissent and erased damning reports about the Biden family’s corruption. Rigged is the definitive account of the 2020 election. Based on Mollie Hemingway’s exclusive interviews with campaign officials, reporters, Supreme Court justices, and President Trump himself, it exposes the fraud and cynicism behind the Democrats’ historic power grab.

Excellent factual review of the election
Reviewed: 07-07-22
As opposed to one review I read, I think the narrator did an excellent job reading the book!
You can always trust Molly Hemingway to be clear, truthful, factual, and to delve right to the root of the questions.
No one can read this book and not be convinced Trump actually did win the election. We must stop the Democratic Dirty tricks and manipulation of elections if your republic is to survive!
