That was an adventure, but I can‘t help but feel the ending was a bit of a letdown. Overall, I enjoyed this and I‘m glad I read it. #RandomClassics

This book the human side of the war and Nazis so brilliantly. Real personal stories that highlight the struggles of the women who were the real victims and hero‘s in the war. Excellent!

Okay. Well. This didn't jive with me at all. I have read the reviews by others and I guess I am missing something but honestly this was such a chore I don't care
This was so incredibly disjointed (meant to be) and the main character was completely unlikable and uninteresting - how do you make a sky uninteresting? Ask Kushner here. I don't mind an unlikable MC but dang it they have to be interesting.
Not for me 2/5

sarahbarnes I haven‘t seen any reviews that make me want to rush to read this one. Sorry it was a miss. 2d

Wow. This might be the absolute worst audiobook I have ever encountered. I am trying to sneak in a couple of chapters on my drive to work today and I just cannot listen to this narrator!
Normally I listen at 1.5 but tried speeding this up to 2 and her pauses between words is still excruciating. Her monotone might be a reflection of the main character, but I honestly don't know how anyone could get through this while paying attention.

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh. My. Goodness. I just looked it up so I could avoid this narrator's other readings and the author herself narrates this! So this is how she wants you to consume the voice. Oh no. This is going to reflect in my overall view. I just do not understand. 4d
squirrelbrain Oh dear - sounds awful! 😬 4d
ImperfectCJ I rarely like audiobooks narrated by the author. Audiobook narrating is such a different skill than writing, and I don't find that there are many who can do both well. 4d

Ruthiella I have heard Kushner in interviews before and I could not listen to her read an audio book! 😬 4d
ChaoticMissAdventures @ImperfectCJ agreed! The only time it really works I think is when people are reading their own bios or maybe comedians. 4d
ChaoticMissAdventures @Ruthiella ohhh. I have never heard her before this now I am morbidly curious. 4d
ImperfectCJ @ChaoticMissAdventures Yes! I really enjoyed Dinner for Vampires, a memoir, read by the author, who's an actor. 4d

Nothing, do you say? Nothing, perhaps, but a charming woman, who—improbable as it may appear— made him the happiest of men.
Truly would you not, for less than that, make the tour of the world?

Did I not also live this unnatural life for ten months? Thus, to that question asked six thousand years ago by Ecclesiastes, “That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?” only two men now have the right to answer: Captain Nemo and myself.
