Review from Forever, Jack →
Wanting to get the rest of Jack n Kari’s story…I dive in again. Again, had to suffer thru long, drawn out narratives with a sweet Southern accent being brutalized. Better if she had just spoken the dialogue with her natural voice and leave it to the reader or listener to imagine. Same with the drawn..
Yet another perspective
Review from Salt to the Sea →
This is a well written, interesting story giving yet another perspective on WWII atrocities. Of course, one should read it alongside the books about Auschwitz (for example “the Choice”), or about the siege of Leningrad (where 800 000 civilians died of hunger and cold including 400 000 children), to understand why torpedoes were marked as..
As the story began to progress, in spite of how beautifully the story is written, I did not want to go where the story was taking me.
Not gonna lie I don’t care for pedofile material and this story tries very hard to make it acceptable. The story was very well written and the performance was wonderful! She brought the characters together beautifully.
Not even okay
Review from All the Ugly and Wonderful Things →
It’s not ok to try to normalize childhood sexual abuse, grooming, and pedophilia. The plots in this story are preposterous, not to mention disgusting. Also Kellen does not have “a heart of gold”, I can’t even believe that is how he’s described in the summary.
Heartbreaking book that has left me to think about it for some time after finishing. I actually didn’t know about this tragic event that happens at the end even though I have read a lot of historical fiction books and non fiction accounts of WWll. Narration of this book was superb!
Intrigued but not overly impressed.
Review from Eversea →
Listened entire book in one day only to be left hanging with incomplete ending. I am a Southern gal and can detect one ‘drawl’ from another. This BADLY done accent became less so as story continued except for voice of friend Jazzy. Yikes that was screechy and whiney forcing me to adjust volume just to..
Loved the characters and the story was so well written. Couldn’t stop listening!! Hope to read another one of her books!
The least tragic story of WWII
Review from Salt to the Sea →
I only listened a few minutes until I had to stop. I kept thinking, was this the same day that Elie Wiesel and thousands of others were marched out of Auschwitz on the Death March? was this the same day the Nazis bombed the gas chambers to hide their crimes? was this the same day..
