1632 Audiobook

" Great story and well narrated. This book has gripping action, fascinating history, and realistic characters. Also, gets to the point without getting too muddled by long tangents. "

" The town of Grantville is transported back into the middle of the 30 years war and they must fight to survive. "

" Irritating, very American writing style, but the series has some sort of fascination so I keep buying and reading the books. "

" Interesting book. I'm not one for altered history but this one was pretty good. Mr. Flint seems to be a union man. "

" Alternate history fiction. Flint is entertaining as a writer, but I find his stories too hopeful and bright, not particularly well balanced. "

" I love this series. Yes, it has a lot of fortunate coincides and some really cheesy moments, but its just so darn fun. "

" Great fun and informative. Made me want to learn about the real Gustav Adolf II and the Vasa Dynasty. Too bad I'm from Latvia... I would have preferred a purely historical account, but without the whole time traveling bit there wouldn't have been enough freedom to explore all the what if's in the 30 years war. "

" I loved the optimism and ideological enthusiasm of this book. In the afterward, Flint makes the point that he wanted to write something that is more positive about American citizens and democracy, and I find it very refreshing. The subsequent novels in the series are better in terms of the writing and technical detail, but this is a great start. "

" Interesting concept but not much characterh development after the first third of the book or so. Too much emphasis on battles. Could have been a lot more interesting if they had told more details of how they assimilated into living in a new era. "

" Our next book club read "

" Pretty godawgul writing, but an interesting concept. It was like slash fiction for daydreams I often have - I'm in the Roman Empire, how do I make electricity, etc. Super cheesy, but entertaining. "

" I love this series and have been reading it since it was newly published. It is well done and newer books include a lot of input from fan-fic, which is nice because it helps lead things places the author alone might not have thought to go. "

" Everything I wanted in alternate historical fiction. Compelling characters, historical events from a new perspective, and lots of humor. "

" Too much history for me. There was good future/past interaction, but not enough of that - which is what I look for in such a book. Sorry, but I will not be continuing on this series. "

" I love alternate history stories! "

" Totally fun alternate history. Sometimes the narrative gets drowned in too much historical background. "

" A good read. A small community in Virgina is transported back in time to 1632. Through their actions the course the world takes is forever changed... yada yada... Flint has grown a bit in the past several years and this story reflects how his writing style has grown. "

" Just okay. Actually, maybe not very good. "

" Not sure how the rest in the series compare, but this book was fun, original, and a pretty accurate representation of American grit. "

" Highly enjoyed this book. As a History major I am frequently leary of alternative histories. But the book was engaging, and the author obviously did a great deal of research into the political climate at the time of the 30 years war. "

" One of the best alternative history books I've ever read! "
