"Narrator Jefferson Mays NOT, try Richard Ferrone"
Laurie King has become one of my automatic listens
Folly one of her best and great narration by Frank Muller
"Loved It"
Hero at large.
I enjoyed the plot as it was a continuation of "Folly" but also stood on it's own. The end did have me a bit concerned!
I enjoyed both the history in Vietnam and the relationship between Allen and Jerry. True family devotion even when the years have gone by.
You are not alone.
I enjoy many of Laurie R King's books, this series was one of them. She brings bravery and vulnerability to the table, often within the same character.
"ONE OF MY TOP 3 FAVORITE BOOKS OF ALL TIME"
I have listened to this book several times over the years. The characters come alive in this book and the story is wonderful. It reveals an insight into a trauma survivor's soul.
Alan.
Everything
Many moments moved me.
I would like to read more Carmichael stories.
"a bit much for me"
I have been a fan of Laurie King, but this story was a little bit too over the top graphic for me. Yes, what war and trauma do to people has a profound effect on them... but there were places where it was traumatic just to listen to it. I liked the narrator, though... well presented story.
