Reader voices
The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“Executive Summary: Things are really picking up in the 3rd of this 4 volume doorstopper. Audio book: Another excellent job by George Newbern. With books as long as these, it's important to have a good narrator, and thankfully they've made a good choice. Clear, good…”
“There's nothing worse about this than any of the other books in this series, but after a while they get so same-y that I've never managed to actually finish book 3. Book 4 remains wholly untapped for me.”
