The Winds of War by Herman Wouk
3.0
This book was a commitment. 44 hrs on audiobook, eventually I was able to work my way up to double speed to knock it down to about 30 hrs. Phew. Three stars to me for finishing. Zero stars for the many boring war strategy parts of the book. Two stars for
the author getting everyone in the Henry family to somehow manage to be in every critical moment leading up to WWII. Five stars to the narrator, he did an amazing job with accents and differentiating each characters' voice. ---UPDATE!!! This WAS a 1983 mini-series!! Too bad it's not on Netflix! -- Really, this book reminded me of a super dramatic 80's mini-series. I kept picturing Lorenzo Lamas and Morgan Fairchild and Ricardo Montoban.
