I feel cheated.

This is a review, not the actual book. And I'm pretty sure the sample contained naration.

Good as a recap, but not much more

would have liked more in depth analysis of themes presented in the book. This was mostly just a summary of what happened, with a few mentions of the nazis and Soviet at places in the book where tje connection is obvious

Procrastinator's Best Tool

I had an entire unit of work and an essay on this book due tonight and I hadn't even read the book. Enter this review at 1.75x speed and 5 hours later all of my work is done. $5 is a small price to pay for how much this audio book review/synopsis saved my butt. Worth every penny.

why every chapter twice?

I like the program but I don't get it why every single chapter has to be repeated twice?

A Life Saver

I used this book to catch up on my reading in class and it gave me a really useful summary for each chapter. I would not be passing my class without this.
