There"s something wrong with Ashburn House. The ancient building has been the subject of rumours for close to a century. Its owner, Edith, refused to let guests inside and rarely visited the nearby town. Following Edith"s death, her sole surviving relative, Adrienne, inherits the property. Adrienne"s only possessions are a suitcase of luggage, 20 dollars, and her pet cat. Ashburn House is a lifeline she can"t afford to refuse. Adrienne doesn"t believe in ghosts, but it"s hard to ignore the unease that grows as she explores her new home.

Great Story, Narration a Little Annoying
Revisado: 09-13-20
This was a great story, resolves fine and the cat does NOT die so you can rest assured in the beginning that that will be OK. The narrator seemed to read one line assertively and then the next pensively. It was like riding in a car where the driver floors it then breaks hard, floors it, breaks hard. And she often took in a deep breath at the beginning of each line. I was able to get through because the story was moving along so well. Still worth it!

It was the last-chance moment of the war. In January 2007, President George W. Bush announced a new strategy for Iraq. He called it "the surge". "Many listening tonight will ask why this effort will succeed when previous operations to secure Baghdad did not. Well, here are the differences," he told a skeptical nation. Among those listening were the young, optimistic Army infantry soldiers of the 2-16, the battalion nicknamed the Rangers.

This book is amazing, but brutal
Revisado: 03-01-10
The journalist writing this book is awesome at putting this story together. A lot of the reviews talk about the repetiveness, but that was an effect the author was using to drive home particular points. I loved it and thought it was well used and totally appropriate. The narrator for this book was perfect as well. I"ve had good audiobooks with terrible narrators that made the listen unbearable. Not so with this book.
The subject matter is hard to digest at times. The author spares nothing and the stories he tells of the American soldiers and the Iraqi civilians caught in the crossfire is heartbreaking. The people and places are real. You can google the KIA and read their tributes in the Washington Post. It makes the war very real. We all should be paying attention whats going on in the Middle East and supporting our troops no matter how we feel about the war. This book brings that home.
