“If you didn’t know that this biography of Israeli general and political leader Ariel Sharon is read by Rich Topol, you’d swear it’s Sharon’s son, Gilad Sharon, doing the narration...Topol offers a solid, even intimate, reading...Bringing to life a book that portrays the man in a personal way, Topol’s conversational tone carries the listener along. He differentiates mood by raising his pitch slightly during light family-oriented passages and slowing the pace down significantly—almost to the extent of pausing between each word—during especially emotional ones.”
