"The Charge of The Light Brigade" - written in 1854 by one of the great representative figures of the Victorian age, Lord Alfred Tennyson - celebrates the heroism of a British cavalry unit mistakenly ordered to attack a vastly superior Russian stronghold amidst the Battle of Balaklava during the Crimean War (1853-1856), a military conflict between Russia and a coalition of Great Britain, France, the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Ottoman Empire.

Awful sound, not possible to understand the words
Reviewed: 01-25-23
Extremely disappointing. Horrible sound effects and music drown out the words. Not worth the time or $ and you can't return it.

Death is not waiting for us at the end of a long road. Death is always with us, in the marrow of every passing moment. She is the secret teacher hiding in plain sight, helping us to discover what matters most. Life and death are a package deal. They cannot be pulled apart, and we cannot truly live unless we are aware of death. The Five Invitations is an exhilarating meditation on the meaning of life and how maintaining an ever-present consciousness of death can bring us closer to our truest selves.

Dramatic Whisper Narration Irritating & Manipulati
Reviewed: 11-02-22
I kept having to turn up the volume & wanting to yell "STOP whispering!" Hard to understand/follow the story when one is straining to hear. He gets even more raspy quiet as death approaches. Found myself thinking; "How low can he go?" I felt he was manipulating the listener like someone telling a ghost story around a campfire. If he had suddenly yelled BOO! my neighbors 3 blocks away would have heard it as my volume was turned up to the max.
I had to stop listening. I will return this book.
I have read many books on dying and nursed my mother at home for years being with her through her final moments. As I approach my own I hoped for more insights. I didn't find anything helpful here.
