Everyone has their favorite, but this has MY FAVORITE audiobook to date. An adventure story like this rivals anything fictional. This diving tale is even more exciting than any of the well-know mountain climbing adventures that I have read. And you don't have to be a diver to appreciate the dangers and excitement that the men in this story went through. It did take me some time to get used to the reader's voice. I found it unusual at first, but after 30 min I got used to it. After half the fantastic book was finished, I could even say I liked the reader's voice. If you like true-life adventure storys with a bit of history (WWII), mystery (the underwater world), danger (diving) and physical endurance(diving) you will like this book.

Fantastic story, good history, laugh-out-loud passages if you don't object to highly colorful language. The narrator did not modulate well between his obvious breaks, and sounded like Andy Rooney, which took some getting used to. I am interested in history but this book would have had me hooked anyway.

The story is GREAT one. I enjoyed it very much. The material is great. Writer did great job. Narrator was great too. My only take is that audible isn't broken in chapters! that was annoying.

Shadow Divers is riveting. It is even more amazing because it is a true story. Michael Prichard's reading makes it impossible to stop reading.

Chatterton and Kohler are my new heroes. These two along with other brave divers unraveled a true mystery and rewrote history in the process.

I had never heard this story. My reading about WWII centered on the European theatre. This book piqued my curiosity to read even more widely.

The book is very well written. It's style pulls the reader in by laying out the dangers of deep sea diving, introducing you to the players and allows the mystery to unfold nearly as it must have unfolded for these men and women. It does not hold back on the foibles of any of the characters. It does not hold back on how unforgiving deep diving is.

Michael Prichard's delivery is masterful. I am mesmerized by his delivery of Kurson's text. If there are awards for narrating audio books, I hope Prichard won all of them for this performance.

I've been an Audible member for 18 months. This is the best book to date. Thank you Robert Kurson for how you told the tale of this U Boat. Thank you Michael Prichard for your truly unmatched delivery. Thank you Chatterton, Kohler and the others for risking everything to bring this story to the world. Thank you Audible.

Overly long in the dull parts, too short in the exciting parts. Repetitive. Why a writer can't trust a reader to remember the salient details in a characterization or narrative for more than a page or two is a mystery deeper than any sunken vessel.

One suggestion: A site where Audible subscribers can go to see the images published in the print editions of the books we download. This would have been of tremendous help with this tome, I think.
