Wow straight out of the headlines!

What made the experience of listening to Drums of War the most enjoyable?

Really enjoyed the fact that this book feels like what's going on in the country right now! Liked the interjections of news people giving reports and updates which again really sounded like what we are hearing today. Also liked the fast pace of the story.

What did you like best about this story?

The fact that you think things are happening for one reason but they are really part of a bigger plot behind the scenes. Can't wait for next book....oh and people die that you don't' expect to die.

What does Todd Menesses bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Nice pacing, great with differentiating the voices and characters....easy to follow.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Wanted to but I usually listen while on my long train commute.

Any additional comments?

This one is worth a credit, no matter which side of the political fence you are on but remember it's only fiction....right?

Tim and Todd

Tim is a fantastic writer who can weave a story like no other.. Todd brings the characters to life. wonderful team wonderful book

Pretty good story

Good story - probably better read than listened to. While the story teller did well with most characters, his “woman” voice felt like forks being jabbed into my ears.

well...

Story was great, the narrator read well, but his voices were horrendous. Want to listen to the next book, but I'll probably pass, as I don't think I can handle the cartoon character voices again.

Title

I wish there was more than one voice. Not one person narrated the women’s voices

very good

loved it! I stayed up till 3am because I couldn't put it down. ready for the book March to war!

Meh

I can't believe I listened to the whole thing.

Narrator was terrible. While his non-character reading was okay, his character voicing "attempts" were an insult to the author. Inconsistent variations, indistinct or completely different voices for characters from line to line, and he made the main character sound like a stereotypical Neanderthal.

The story was fair, if you look past gaping holes and the polarized view of the author, and his blatant opinion of current events.

In the end, I will not be getting any more books in this series.

Narrator made it hard to enjoy.

Narrator lead character voice made him sound like an idiot. All female voices were annoying and pretty much every impression made the character sound like they were not too smart.

Do some research

The author needs to research his material; especially the National Guard and military procedures. Also needs to better understand the concealed carry community and use the current lingo.

The narrator also needs to research into the correct pronunciation of terms.

I turned it off after 2 hours

It hit close to where the country is going to. I don’t believe that will happen.its just not for me. Too much anti government rhetoric and anti both parties. Not recommending this because I think incites this to happen.
