Great information, comprehensive!

Narrator was a bit hard to listen to for long. I took it in small chunks.

This series has been exceptional. Mattimeo did not disappoint. The cast does a fabulous job making the story come alive. The characters quickly become like old friends to readers. Everyone in our house enjoys this masterpiece- ages 6 to 48!

Okay but disappointed

Revisado: 05-21-22

I was disappointed. In telling a story that should highlight the strength and determination of women, the author repeatedly wrote about women’s monthly cycles and how brave women were to pilot when on their period. Really? As a woman who regularly gets physically ill & vomits during my cycle, I’ve never thought about staying home sick or otherwise not getting things done. I’d love to hear from the women who actually flew to see if it was ever an issue. I’ve worked in male dominated fields. One does not earn respect by “bravely” working all month long regardless of one’s monthly cycle. That coupled with emotional characters whose flying is easily impacted by personal relationships & characters who openly cry in professional situations when they don’t get what they want and it is just disappointing. It puts forth the same old stereotypes about women and applies them to a group of extraordinary women who tenaciously fought to get in the pilot’s seat.

Disappointing

Revisado: 04-19-22

I had two complaints. First, the audio is shoddy with repeated skipping and static. I download at low speeds for best audio and no issues with other titles. It didn’t impact my ability to understand the story, but it was frustrating.

While I was expecting details of serving in the air cav, there are many highly detailed descriptions of helicopter parts/mechanics along with detailed descriptions of how a pilot uses the pedals, the cyclic, and the collective in unison to fly. Such detailed accounts that repeat with various changes of scenery become tedious. The story wasn’t bad, but listing to “how to fly a helicopter” in various conditions scattered throughout the book instead of details of more missions or detailed accounts of various pilots/crew chiefs/military personnel was disappointing.

Fine story, awful audio

Revisado: 02-24-22

Audio was terrible. Countless clicks, pauses, and peppered with static. In places there was an echo. In other places the speed doubled and was far to fast to be at 1.0. Then it randomly slowed back down. Find another copy.

Good, clean humor with a side of wit.

Revisado: 03-24-21

Jeeves is an excellent Valet with a quick mind and an uncanny knack of knowing everything about anything. Wodehouse is creative and masterful with his characters and their various quandaries.

I do like the narrator, and the English accent is 100% appropriate for this book. That said, between the older vocabulary and phrases and the English accent, I had to give it my undivided attention. That made it 4 stars for me as I often listen while doing house chores or driving.

Outstanding

Revisado: 03-21-21

This was a listen I just couldn’t ‘put down’ so to speak. I appreciated the honesty. The words painted a vivid picture of desperation, hardship, and bigotry that was a part of life in Appalachia and more specifically Kentucky. It also countered the dark with beautiful gestures of love, friendship, generosity, and grace. It is something I could listen to again and again.

An excellent listen that teaches a timeless lesson about fear

Revisado: 02-23-21

Breaking Stalin’s Nose is a short but worthy read for children and adults alike. It poignantly teaches the consequences of groupthink and the dangers of constantly living in fear of attack because of your personal beliefs.

Faith filled and challenging

Revisado: 02-17-21

This is an excellent read for all who desire a first hand account of the impact of Nazi ideology on civilized societies. Far more important that memorizing dates and military action, this books puts you in the shoes of those who lived through it and died because of it.

Another excellent listen!

Revisado: 02-15-21

James Herriot never disappoints. The narrator brings the stories to life. Herriot’s detailed accounts of the simple life of an English country vet are heartwarming. It is the perfect way to spend a winter day while hunkering through a storm.
