A rivetting tale

Total
4 out of 5 stars

Revisado: 04-13-06

This is a listen I could hardly put down. The facts are hard to verify by myself but the scenarios are fascinating and have stimulated me to look up more on the subject in written form. An excellent listen especially for those interested in submarine-related political subterfuge and intrigue!

I could not put this down. A fascinating tale that made me want to find out more about the author and the subject. The former has written other books thast I have now bought and read as a result of this talking book. A very well worthwhile listen!

The proconsul's view

Total
3 out of 5 stars

Revisado: 03-20-06

This is a worthwhile listen as long as one bears in mind that the story is told from a very partisan outlook. It is interesting to realise that the viewpoint of those vanquished is often not considered in this account. At the same time, the altruistic intentions of the invasion comes through. At least someone had the guts to remove Saddam although the consequences of that removal were not foreseen. An enjoyable memoir, well read.

Poorly read

This is an interesting story of the subject albeit from a US government viewpoint. What detracts from the overall experience is the reader who under-emphasises the ends of sentences so as to make it often hard to understand in the sometimes inevitably noisy backgrounds where one listens to talking books(e.g in a car.) Still a worthwhile listen for those interested in Che Guevara.

An moving tale, excellently read that I could hardly put down. The interplay between the two readers is very well done. Listening to it makes me want to find out more about the patrol boats and their story as well as look for more Vietnamese memoirs of that time.

A great submarine story

Revisado: 09-18-05

As a fan of anything to do with submarines, I really enjoyed this riveting tale and could hardly put my iPod down until it was finished. The human side of the story is wonderfully told and the reader is excellent. This talking book is highly recommended.

Rescuing the Spectacled Bear Audiolibro Por Stephen Fry arte de portada

Armchair travel at its best!

Total
5 out of 5 stars

Revisado: 09-18-05

Amusing and superbly read by the author, this is more armchair travel than a study of the spectacled bear. There are lots of fascinating historical and political side stories. A superb talking book.
