Amazing novel

Laurie R. King: I’ve read all your books and this is an amazing tour de force. Bravo!

Narrator Jefferson Mays NOT, try Richard Ferrone

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Laurie King has become one of my automatic listens

What other book might you compare Keeping Watch to and why?

Folly one of her best and great narration by Frank Muller

Psychologically acute

Ferrone's voicing of the child almost ruined it,bot the story and the writing were strong, more than strong enough to overcome.
I'm s huge fan of this author and have read (or listened to) most of what she's written. She writes strong characterizations in all of her work, but
I think this novel may embody the most psychologically acute.
Very painful return to Vietnam.

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.

Breathtaking....

Laurie R. King's ability to create mind pictures is breathtaking and Richard Ferrone's voicing of an amazing story brings it truly to life. I hope that Alan, Jerry, Ray and all of the other wonderful characters created for Folly and Keeping Watch will come back to visit once again. They are all truly real to me now.
