The King's Speech: How One Man Saved the British Monarchy Audiobook

" I enjoyed this book. It educated me on the events of the 2nd World War. The friendship between Bertie and Logue was beautiful. "

" Very good book. Provided more background and details than the movie as well treatments for stuttering, gave glimpses into the young Princesses lives. "

" Much more indepth than the movie although I enjoyed both immensely. A great insight into the Royal Family written with a great amount of pathos. "

" Not a dramatic as the movie, but a nice story of a friendship. "

" Very interesting story. I really liked the movie (*sigh Colin Firth) and I like biographies, so win-win. Their relationship is fascinating and the letters and notes are great to read. It was an interesting time period anyway and it's a lovely story. "

" This is a very interesting true story. "

" I enjoyed the book but that could be because I am in the field of speech-language therapy. I found the book enjoyable on two levels: the first, its portrayal of the impact of speech disorders on a person's life and second, the view of the world and its history at that time. "

" I read this after seeing the movie. The movie was told more from King George's POV, I liked that the book told the story more from the POV of Lionel Logue. "

" I must admit I am glad I saw the film first. However very interesting read "

" the movie was much better "

" An interesting companion to the film, filling in a good deal of the before and after. I also found it quite challenging on a spiritual level in that the book clearly shows a commoner in service to the king. I am sure you can see the parallels! "

" It pales in comparison to the movie, providing a lot more detail with a lot less drama. Worth a quick read, though, if the subject interests you. "

" Much more detail about the therapist than the King, but a good back-up to the most excellent movie starring my boyfriend. "

" An interesting read, but one of the very few cases in which the film is better! "

" Interesting- made me want to learn more about King George. "

" very long read...but worth it "

" This book was enjoyable because I'd just seen the movie. It was interesting to see how the movie timeline and situations were altered from what really happened. If you loved the movie, you will probably find this worth reading or browsing. "

" This is the first time I can say that I liked the movie better. I absolutely loved the movie and I now have a freaking school girl crush on Colin Firth! I read the book just to get some historical facts straight so it was worth the time it took to read it. "

" Delightful! This was actually my first adventure into audio books, and I really enjoyed this one. The history and the context were probably the best part. "

" Interesting read however, I mistakenly bought this book when I was wanting the actual novel form instead of the full history. Again, I would like to see the movie. "

" I wish I had read this before I saw the movie. I thought this was a very interesting book however, I loved, loved, loved the movie and was therefore a little disappointed in the book as it was written in a much less emotional way than the movie. "

" written by the grandson of Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush - :) ), this book picks up where that wonderful, beautiful movie leaves off. An interesting account, taken mainly from correspondence between the king and Logue. "

" OK, people like this, but - no. I'm sorry. My book club read this - I am the only one in the club who reads EVERY BOOK no matter how awful, and - I couldn't read this. I just wasn't feeling it. "

" I found this book interesting and worth reading, but not a page turner "

" This book was enjoyable because I'd just seen the movie. It was interesting to see how the movie timeline and situations were altered from what really happened. If you loved the movie, you will probably find this worth reading or browsing. "

" Had trouble getting started but ended up being a good read. "

" A great read for history buffs, especially WWII afficionados. "

" The full story of Lionel Logue and King George VI, lovingly recounted by Logue's grandson. "

" Very enjoyable. Absolutely loved the movie, and this book added historical detail. Less story format and more fact, it was very informative. "

" Logue's grandson gives us a bigger picture of the relationship and lives of George VI and Logue. "

" An easy read. Enjoyed it. Watched the movie after reading the book. The movie was enjoyable but reading the book before filled in several gaps. "

" I wish I had read this before I saw the movie. I thought this was a very interesting book however, I loved, loved, loved the movie and was therefore a little disappointed in the book as it was written in a much less emotional way than the movie. "

" Really interesting story of an enduring friendship. Can't wait to see the movie. "

" I liked it, but I guess I'm not enough of a Royal fever kind of person. It just didn't have that zing of a book that I must own, or really ever read again. "
