Red Rising Trilogy. I really enjoyed them.

I think that Unbroken is the best story I have ever heard. The movie butchered it some.


It pissed me off that the movie doesn't emphasize the importance of the growth of Louis's faith. His faith is a key part of the story.

Red Platoon is probably the best audio book I've listened to. I've been doing the audio book thing for a couple of years too.

What really confused me was why hey would leave out him meeting Hitler. Made no sense to exclude it.

Anytime something in the movie pissed me off I had to remember who did the movie.


Enough said.

I wouldn't call it that at all. It's just a different type of WWII story told that's all.


Sam Baldwin: Well I'm not looking for a mail-order bride! I just want somebody I can have a decent conversation with over dinner. Without it falling down into weepy tears over some movie!
Greg: She's, as you just saw, very emotional.
Sam Baldwin: Although I cried at the end of "the Dirty Dozen."
Greg: Who didn't?
Sam Baldwin: Jim Brown was throwing these hand grenades down these airshafts. And Richard Jaeckel and Lee Marvin
[Begins to cry]
Sam Baldwin: were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier, dressed up like Nazis...
Greg: [Crying too] Stop, stop!
Sam Baldwin: And Trini Lopez...
Greg: Yes, Trini Lopez!
Sam Baldwin: He busted his neck while they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines...
Greg: Stop.
Sam Baldwin: And Richard Jaeckel - at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet...
Greg: [Crying harder] Please no more. Oh God! I loved that movie.

The Mr. Mercedes trilogy from Stephen King. It's a detective series that is at the top of my 50-60 books I've listened to over the years. The last one just came out.
