Review from Predator →
Any additional comments? I’ve read a number of Jack Olsen’s true crime stories and once again was blown away by his attention to detail and his ability to capture the depth and complexity of his characters. Predator is another true crime that is hard to imagine that it happened and for so long. I, like..
Which character – as performed by Kevin Pierce – was your favorite? Kevin does a great job portraying the main character. He struggles a bit with the British character’s voice and should just let that go and read the story. Any additional comments? This book was pretty gritty, but fairly realistic in portraying a broken..
Review from This We Will Defend: The Continuing Story of a Family’s Survival →
I love the book and the directions it goes. This story jumped around to before, during and after the first book and kept throwing me off. People were introduced at such a pace I gave up on figuring it out. I’ll listen to the next one for sure and will be giving the feed back..
Review from The Borrowed World →
I love this genre and the story line was pretty good. The only problem I had with this book is that the women in it are all shown as unprepared and dependent on the men. The author also seems to have a grudge against poor people and liberals. As a non wealthy, liberal, former soldier,..

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Just remove the profanity and this would have been a great story. What did you like best about this story? I liked the story line What does Kevin Pierce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the..
Review from Precious Victims →
Fact based book told from a number of perspectives. Still unfathomable what people can do to another human being.
Review from Valley of Vengeance →
The author makes you feel as if you’re right there in the story. Great narration!
I’d recommend it but it does suffer some from what seems to be the author’s desire to simply make a longer book. There are whole chapters that deal with some emotional, drawn out conversation between two characters that could’ve been covered in maybe two paragraphs. Then there’s the odd inclusion of the woman preacher putting..
I was starting to really enjoy listening to No Direction Home and really getting into the characters and plot when the book ended. I think that was a mistake by the author. The setting up of the protagonist and his companions to separate themselves from the dictator-ish leader of their band was in my opinion..
