Blood and Iron
Abridged or Unabridged I loved it. Bring on the next five in the series. If you have ever been a Marine you will like it for the glimpse into life when the Corps was young. I am not sure I like the dramatization as much as narration, but I loved the story. Usually I listen to Audible on my daily commute on the "L", but this one had me listening in my kitchen. You won't be disappointed
Blood and Iron
This is a great story. Let me say that right off the bat. And if it was abridged they did a good job of it and there are no holes or gaps. If your a Marine you'll like it because it deals with a part of the history of the Marine Corps that most of us are a bit foggy on and hasnt been dealt with very much in books or movies. I liked the way that Macgregor inserted actual events (Dan Dalys actions during the Boxer rebellion)and real life characters (Smedley Butler who he names Buller)and weaves them around the main character. He did his homework on the technical side and I only found a couple of things that didnt fit, I think we had Lee straight pulls not Krags then and dont call me Sarge.
Like I said before this is a great story, however that being said the dramitization SUCKED. The fellow that played the main character, Levi was ok and the narrator was good but with very few exceptions the cast was awful. Way overacted and some of the accents were so fake as to be offensive If you can work around the awful voice acting and just pay attention to the story you'll like it.
Great story.
I haven't listened to a production better than this in years. The book is well written and the acting and voices enhance an already good book. I will be watching for another book or production from this author.
Blood and Iron
Beware of this title unless you like abridged works. It's billed as 'unabridged' but the intro clearly states that it is an unabridged dramatization BASED on the book of the same title, by the same author. You could sort of say it is an unabridged version of the abridged version! Any way you look at it, it is NOT an unabridged reading of the original book as the description leads you to believe. I encountered this same subterfuge with the supposedly unabridged title, 'Calculated Risk.' Audible was gracious in refunding my credits when I complained but I hope in the future, notice will be given in the description.
