A thrilling and fictionally historic depiction of the early 1910’s

Don Holbrook and his group of artists had me tuned in throughout a 28 hour car ride. I look forwarded to every new chapter and thought the flow was incredible. Every character was well captured by the voices of the artists and the story felt like I was watching a movie. Brilliantly done and would recommended to anyone interested in an audio book.

these guys are into food

overall this is an enjoyable historical fiction. it goes from very broad strokes into excruciating detail frequently. I feel like it would have been better if they cut out about half the adventures and about 80% of the descriptions of the main characters meals.
