1812 Audiobook

" Didn't really read this abridged version - decided to read all of Adams's brilliant 9-volume History of the US during the Administrations of Jefferson and Madison instead, and it RULED!! "

" I actually didn't finish it. I got a little tired of the added sexual stuff. It seemed to get in the way of the story. "

" Enjoyable historical novel. The author's character development adds an interesting slant to the events as they actually played out. "

" I DID NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE WAR OF 1812 UNTIL I READ THIS BOOK. IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO LEARN THE HISTORY OF THE WAR AND THE PEOPLE THAT SHAPED OUR COUNTRY PRIOR TO AND DURING THE WAR. "

" I haven't made it past the first 2 chapters. Really slow and a little too descriptive for me. "

" I could just barely get through the book. My interest in reading historical fiction is the history, not the fiction. Much of this book is filled with fiction that seems to be aimed at teenage girls. "

" Historical fiction. A great take on the events leading up to the forgotten war of 1812. It was amazing to me how the war forged our nation into a country to be reckoned with. "

" I love historical fictions and this book is no exception. This is a story of unsung heroes in our history. "

" A very good read. Learned a lot about James and Molley Madison and Andrew Jackson and the issues associated with the war of 1812 (the 2nd Amercian revolution), including the battle of New Orleans. I liked Eagle's Cry a little more, but this was still very good. "

" If you want to take a chance on a historical fiction novel, start here. Nevin takes you on a ride through a time period in American history we tend to forget. Andrew Jackson is given a voice that becomes believable from the first words you read. "

" I bought this book while visiting The Heritage while on vacation. Some of my favorite books are historical fictions along the lines of John Jakes and Edward Rutherford. I've found a new author in David Nevin to while the hours away in yesterday with. "

" Very good book. What I learned from this book? I learned what is wrong with America. In 1812 there was a tap room in the house and senate. There isn't one now. Maybe with a few beers the dumb shits would lighten up or maybe forget who has bought them off and do the right thing! "

" This book was actually very good. I enjoyed the story (I read a lot about wars and historical events, but not much about the war of 1812). It had some great lines. However, I couldn't recomend this book in good conscience because there is so much bad language and sex. "
