Beside a Burning Sea Audiobook

" I loved it---Now looking for his first book. Powerful story with great character development "

" I love this time period. World War II was a fascinating time. I think I feel so connected because my grandfather was from that time. I feel like I am getting a glimpse of his life. He is one of my heroes. This is a love story that will have you hoping for a happy ending! The characters were beautifully written and the villan... well, lets just say that he's as bad as they come! "

" started out good but so slow and too many descriptions of thoughts instead of a story "

" This book struck me as the type of old Grade B movied you might see on TV Saturday afternoons: lots of adventure, the hero, the villain - and, of course, forbidden love. Entertaining and easy to read, but not very imaginative . . . . "

" Another good book by John Shors. Different twist on the World War II. Entertaining and a good escape from the real world. "

" I guess my anticipations were high for this book. I found it to be a book about nothing. I couldn't relate to the characters, who seemed under-developed and shallow given the story-line. Sorry, but this book was one I just quit reading half way through. I just hate that! "

" A very good read! Well worth it! "

" Really a 3.5. I loved that this story was set in the Pacific during WWII. "

" What a major let down after his first book. Very predictable and completely boring. "

" took a while but i just love the way jone writes but it was no comparison to his others "

" Fascinating view of survivors from a WWII hospital ship. Comes off as anti-war "

" Very well written with meaningful characters and a story about love, revenge and life. "

" Loved it. Sometimes, we have to believe that characters are in love because the author tells us so. In great books, we know it is so because the writing is just that good! Such is the case with this book. Great characters, good plot twists. "

" I found this book hard to put down from start to finish. The characters were compelling, the storyline was fascinating. I can't wait to read Beneath a Marble Sky, wish has been on my wish list forever. "

" Story was okay; writing was elementary. A better writer could have done much better with the story. "

" This was a good story,,just kinda slow for me.. "

" wasn't my cup of tea - too predictable "

" Another good one from John "

" It was like a parade of American stereotypes. Might appeal to those who really dig the whole Lost, Survivor, stranded on tropical island thing. But for those who favor more realistic historical fiction, stay far away from the burning sea..... "

" This book is all about the different types of relationships we can have and how we tend to take them for granted until we really need them. "

" This was a good book, quite descriptive but a little unbelievable at times. "

" Great story, moves quickly! "

" So far a wonderful book. I can't put it down. "

" I could not put this one down! LOVED IT! so amazing! He is such a gifted writer. "

" This was a good book...not as well written as Beneath a Marble Sky with too much fluffy romance. "

" This was a good story,,just kinda slow for me.. "

" It was an interesting read, but somewhat unrealistic in many ways. Entertaining. "

" Part historical fiction part love story that is set during WWII. Each chapter begins with a beautiful haiku. "

" This was really good. Probably more like 4.5 stars. "

" I enjoyed this enough that I might read more from him. "
