So much to love about the story. I loved the story of Israel and the struggle to build it. However, it almost became a Harlequin Romance level love of Israel who could do no wrong. While there wasn't a reference to an Arab town or maybe even a person that wasn't surrounded by adjectives like, filthy, stinking or lazy.
Hard to deny this was a compelling, well-researched novel. The ending was a bit of soap-opera over the top drama.
I think it is definitely worth your time, you don't have to agree with the authors love of Zionism to recognize how compelling and well-crafted the story is. The stories of the fictional characters surviving the ghetto and the concentration camps were gut-wrenching and certainly based on the truth.
Overall, I would recommend this book and did enjoy it despite my criticism. The narration was superb and added to my enjoyment.

Wanted to Love it.., not quite

I really appreciate Paul Michael's narration. He gave just enough distinction to each character that I regularly found myself visualizing conversations as if I were there. And what a powerful story! Uris brings this to life on both an emotional and spiritual level. Very moving and inspiring!

Great narration!

I love this book and read it years ago along with seeing the movie. I decided to re-experience the story again before visiting Israel and I was thrilled with narrator Paul Michael's delivery. Highly recommended before any Israel trip!

For once, an audiobook narrator who does the story justice!

I found the story compelling. Only my second Uris but he writes driving narrative. He pulls together so many seemingly tangential elements to weave a breath taking narrative. On top of that, the performer is unsurpassed! He does a range of accents effortlessly, making it sound like a community of actors! Superb!

Brilliant story, brilliantly performed

You don't have to be Jewish to appreciate the struggle of the birth of Israel. A must read for anyone who's curious about the conflict and why it persist today.

INCREDIBLE...
