How Few Remain Audiobook

" The quality of the audio narration was very good. The characters are good and especially easy to follow if you are any kind of American history buff, as you would already be familiar with some of the characters. The story was intriguing to listen to, as it examined race relations in this alternate history. Even more interesting was how it examined how American generals of the general era prepared and fought wars as opposed to Germany's methodologies. "

" Better than I expected. Wasn't really thinking that Alternative History would be my thing, but I really got into this. "

" Shame on me for thinking there isn't any worthwhile fiction out there. This novel is great because it combines the study of history with imagination. Turtledove does a great job fleshing out historical figures and turning them into compelling literary characters. More importantly, however, he makes the reader think about cause and effect and the various elements at play that can be huge one way or barely a blip on the radar another way. The Emancipation Proclamation is an example of how this happens in the novel. "

" I just had to start reading the Southern Victory series again. I couldn't help myself. "

" Awful. Granted, I am not much of a Civil War Reader, but the writing itself is even bad. Corny and hard to trudge through due to multiple similes (about every other sentence) and multiple dashes (about every other sentence), and goodness knows Turtledove leaves absolutely nothing for the reader to figure out on his or her own. Ugh. "

" This is my first experience with Turtledove and I found it to be well researched, and most importantly, plausible. He has a vast library covering almost every major period in world history so I have a lot of catching up to do. "

" I ordinarily love alternative histories and have read a couple of Turtledove's other books. This one was unremittingly boring. "

" Most revisionist history books bother me, and this was no exception. "

" An interesting story about a world war between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America. Probably the best in the series "

" If you are a fan of the Great War series (or any of Turtledove's post-Civil War themed novels), How Few Remain is a great read. "

" the book is pretty instresting but its a little slow thats my only problem with it otherwise its a great story "

" I love alternative history and historical fiction. I really tried to enjoy this novel, I really wanted to. I forced myself through over 100 pages before throwing in the towel. Turtledove's level of alternative historical detail is so intense that it's at the expense of the plot and the characters. "

" I'm a big fan of alternate history and Turtledove has done a wonderful series with his Great War books. The first one sets the stage for all that follow and it made me wonder what would have happened had the South triumphed. If you ever wonder "What if ..." this is s good book to start with. "

" The best way to enter the world Turtledove creates is to start at the beginning. "

" This is good beach reading material for history buffs. Fun. "

" Imagine a world where the South won the Civil War............This is a colorful world of what ifs filled with famous and infamous historical figures along with fictional characters inhabiting the same world. If you love history, this is a wonderful premise "

" the book in about how what would of happened if there was a black president around Lincolns time, and how the south went to war with the north but they had England on their side. its weird "

" I wanted to like this book, (thought the premise was brilliant,) but his writing style did not work at all with my brain. Every page was a struggle. Too bad. "

" Good book, though the parts involving the Mormons was not my favorite part "

" I just had to start reading the Southern Victory series again. I couldn't help myself. "

" Very well-thought-out alternate history on the consequences of the USA losing the Civil War. "

" Enjoyable. Makes me realize how much I don't know about history, though! "

" I enjoy this book. I reread it about every year. "

" Interesting, but not great. I was ready for it to be done far sooner than it was. I guess that's not a good sign. "

" Better than I expected. Wasn't really thinking that Alternative History would be my thing, but I really got into this. "

" I found this quite tedious to read; it just didn't flow well and seemed to drag on. "

" This is good beach reading material for history buffs. Fun. "

" If you are a fan of the Great War series (or any of Turtledove's post-Civil War themed novels), How Few Remain is a great read. "

" I've read the rest of the Timeline 191 books, but I somehow never read the first one. <br/> <br/>It is good, and easy to see how this launched another ten books. "

" I wanted to like this book, (thought the premise was brilliant,) but his writing style did not work at all with my brain. Every page was a struggle. Too bad. "
