Dick and Jane go to war...is what this shallow book sounds like. (with a pelican thrown in for good measure) I expected the same wonderful writing and story as "The Colewood Way" and "Rocket Boys" but did not get it. We couldn't decide whether Hickham was serious..or was trying to write a comedy. We forced ourselves to finish the book.

This may be a good book, but the abridgement makes it too difficult to tell. There are big gaps in the story and, while it was easy to fill in the missing pieces, it left me caring very little about the characters and what happened to them.

Not my favorite audio book, I found myself fast fowarding a few times. It was boring in my opinion.

I really liked this book. Contained a good mix of romance, history and mystery. Very interesting characters

This is a great audio. It's romantic in a few areas but worth the listen. I hate history, but I loved this audio. I've also been to Killakeet and the Outerbanks. The whole area is romantic and exciting.
