Review 1: Undaunted Courage audiobook by Kindle Customer
Narration kills a great book
I read this great book many years ago when it was first published and found it facinating. Ambrose’s skill really broadened my reading experience and I have read many many historical books since because of it. I purchaed the audio version because I was planning to drive to Montana from Florida and I thought this book would be a fantastic counterpoint to my lengthy journey. Sad to say that the flat, droning, expressionless, uninspired (I could go on) narration ruined the book for me. Mr. Whitener is a reader from the very early days of “books-on-tape” and maybe I have been spoiled by the performances of Jim Dale, but I just couldn’t listen to this book. Please try the sample before you buy this audiobook and know that what you hear is what you get – the same nasal tone and lack of emphasis throughout. If a better performer was to do this book over, I would buy it in a minute. I gave this one star because the book is really really great.
Review 2: Undaunted Courage audiobook by Christopher
Great detail about this historical event…
Undaunted Courage brought alive many details about the Lewis and Clark “Corps of Discovery”. I gained a better understanding of the political mind of Jefferson and political thought of the time; specifically from the colonists’ perspective but with plenty of opportunity to see things from the natives’ perspective. I also gained a better understanding of the logistics involved and what the expedition encountered.
I was taken in by the story and even looked forward to my commute.
Review 3: Undaunted Courage audiobook by Michael Green
Undaunted Courage
A must read. This is a wonderful read with larger than life characters. If you love history or Indian Culture this is a must read. This is the best history book I have read this year. Compatriot Ambrose has to have rated this among his best works. He truly lets us see the strong character of Clark and the fascinating complexity of Lewis. If you read only one book this year, this is the one.
