Members Reviews:
Great book, with a great story.
really enjoyed this book. The narrator does a great job. Would defiantly recommend this book.
Great story. Very well told!
For anyone with an interest in Naval aviation and the intrigue of contemporary geo-political Middle East intrigue, Acts of Vengeance is a must, Mr. Blocks narration was outstanding!
An Intense Military Ride
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, because it is well done and I enjoyed the narration. For anyone looking to read or listen to a read of a military book that shows both sides, this one is for you.
What about Thomas Blocks performance did you like?
Thomas Block is an excellent narrator with a range of ability. He does a great job narrating this and other books he has narrated for.
Land, Air, and Sea Adventure
What made the experience of listening to Acts of Vengeance the most enjoyable?
Aerial furballs, afterburners, backstabbing bureaucrats, and military romance. What's not to like?
What other book might you compare Acts of Vengeance to and why?
Robert Gandt is a cross between Tom Clancy's military high-speed plotting, and emerging author Lt. Cmdr. Leland Shanle's attention to historical detail. I'd follow any of them into a dogfight.
What does Thomas Block bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
Thomas Block is a wise choice for the voice of Robert Gandt's creative voice. He carries the tone of a salty Admiral retelling his fleet's latest sorties.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I won't post any spoilers. There are clear heroes and villains in this tale.
What a waste! Thomas Black should be blackballed
What disappointed you about Acts of Vengeance?
This book had a very weak story line. The book plot was predictable and the outcome disappointing and the narrator was the worst I have ever heard. If you are prone to suicidal thoughts, don't get this book. It's so bad it may push you over the edge. A full bottle of sleeping pills would have less of an effect that listening to the monotone narrator.
What could Robert Gandt have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Perhaps listen to some of the more successful war/terrorist novels to get a better idea the value of slowly building the storyline and teasing readers with potential outcomes.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Thomas Block?
Anyone, anyone at all could have narrated a book better. This reader was monotone most of the time, used the same voice for all the players. At first I thought that the narrator was drunk but by the end, I think he was drugged and drunk.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
The emotion this book caused in me was disappointment for wasting my credit on it, sadness for any other listeners who buy this novel and confusion why the writer would think that this book was remotely good enough to publish.
Too bad it's not a crime for writers to publish trash like this.
