    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    It's good to hear stories not riddled with profanities. Recommended for


    Any additional comments?

    This is a compilation of short essays and anecdotes by a variety of women. About half were amusing, others were interesting and pleasant, and some were just one-liners. Think: Chicken Soup stories without the tears. The performance was okay. The different segments could have been more clearly defined - they were captioned immediately after the preceding segment with the author's name stated with out of place enthusiasm - but then again, that's when you knew there was a change. It wasn't bad, just not up to the hype/anticipation.

    Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of World War II, which begins with The Winds of War and continues here in War and Remembrance, stands as the crowning achievement of one of America's most celebrated storytellers. Like no other books about the war, Wouk's spellbinding narrative captures the tide of global events - and all the drama, romance, heroism, and tragedy of World War II - as it immerses us in the lives of a single American family drawn into the very center of the war's maelstrom.

    Which character – as performed by Kevin Pariseau – was your favorite?

    Amazing characterizations. Too many to choose from. I gave Mr, Pariseau a standing ovation at the end.. okay.. I just applauded as I was driving in my car.. but the performance is ovation-worthy.


    Any additional comments?

    I 've read this book and its predecessor, Winds of War, several times. Listening brought new life to the characters and made them even more endearing than ever. Recent experiences, including a trip to Washington's Holocaust museum and learning about a relative's Naval service in the Pacific, brought the story even closer to my heart. A very good read...
