I bought this for my kids and I to listen to in the car, along with a hard copy to read at home with our history text book. It was super engaging and informative; we learned new things about people we'd never heard of before. We learned more about the famous ones we were familiar with. The humor was well done and funny for my 3rd-7th graders, and even my husband and I were laughing aloud. We all loved it and recommend it to all our friends!

engaging narration, interesting facts!

Listened on the car ride to our vacation. It made the Revolution interesting for my 8 year old, which was the point of the book. The narrator was very good and made it a lively event.

Great introduction to the Revolution for 8-12yrs

It would bra very good book IF the author didn’t use as much slang and bad words. It also talks a lot about blood and death so Maybe not for younger kids. Again I say it would be a super fun book if it didn’t use such bad words.

OK

I need to choose a book to read for school, I am a history buff so I thought I would get this. And oh my god, I made the best decision of my life. This is so fun to listen to when it's my reading time. I am looking forward to listening to the other Guts and Glory books! I suggest that you buy this book, It is really interesting. Tip for the author: Make a ww1, Vietnam, and the Cold War Guts and Glory book. Keep up the good work!

Best book ever!
