Invictus: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation Audiobook

" It really made me appreciate what Mandela has done. "

" Loved the history of Nelson Mandela and gave me an appreciation for the impact sports can have in our society. "

" Finally gave up on this one, since the writing is egregious. Historically rich, but severely dry. I haven't been that bored since reading all of those "so-and-so begat so-and-so"s in the Old Testament. I might have hung in there if I didn't have so many other exciting books waiting for my attention. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Partly because my husband loves rugby as much as any South African and mostly becuase I learned a lot about the culture behind Nelson Mandela. This book isn't totally about politics. It's about charming your enemies and finding all the good in bad situations, and people. This has made me want to learn a lot more about Nelson Mandela, the man who brought South Africa together. "

" I haven't seen the movie, but the book was phenomenal. I learned so much about Mandela. "

" It is interesting to know the story of how Nelson Mandela came to power and the nation joined the match am the final rugby world cup 1995. "

" An accounting of the years after Mandela was released from prison, became president and pulled the country together. I wasn't impressed with Carlin's writing but it's an amazing story and a good insight into the incredible person of Nelson Mandela. "

" Los milagros los hacen personas como Nelson Mandela. "

" Amazing, eloquent and lovely! Sad inspiring and defiant! Neslon Mandella make me want to cry, shout, and sing at the same time. "

" i can't be objective in my review as these events were my reality way back when... i will always remember the day SA won the 1995 rugby world cup!!! "

" This is so much more than the movie. It should be a must read! "

" Great book, very sad story at first. Incredible resilience. The movie was just the middle part of the book, the historical context and the conclusion was not given. Movie did well the portion of the story it told. "

" Page-turning, fascinating true account of how rugby and Nelson Mandela overthrew the Nationalist Apartheid system in South Africa. I'm not a sports fan and I LOVED this book. A must read. "

" Nice to see the background of an event that occurred when I was old enough to appreciate the significance of it. The book is a good mix of fact-telling and storytelling, making it very readable. "

" I get to see the movie tonight; it will be interesting to see how faithful it is to this great story "
