Story
Celie has grown up poor in rural Georgia, despised by society and abused by her own family. She strives to protect her sister, Nettie, from a similar fate, and while Nettie escapes to a new life as a missionary in Africa, Celie is left behind without her best friend and confidante, married off to an older suitor, and sentenced to a life alone with a harsh and brutal husband. In an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear, Celie begins writing letters to God. The letters, spanning 20 years, record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment guided by the light of a few strong women.

Story
In 1979, a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within the US Army. Defying all known accepted military practice - and indeed, the laws of physics - they believed that a soldier could adopt the cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls and, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them. Entrusted with defending America from all known adversaries, they were the First Earth Battalion. And they really weren't joking. What's more, they're back and fighting the War on Terror.

Story
Hailed by The New York Times as "a marvel of storytelling", The Things They Carried’s portrayal of the boots-on-the-ground experience of soldiers in the Vietnam War is a landmark in war writing. Now, three-time Emmy Award winner-Bryan Cranston, star of the hit TV series Breaking Bad, delivers an electrifying performance that walks the book’s hallucinatory line between reality and fiction and highlights the emotional power of the spoken word.

Story
In 1528, a mission set out from Spain to colonize Florida. But the expedition went horribly wrong: Delayed by a hurricane, knocked off course by a colossal error of navigation, and ultimately doomed by a disastrous decision to separate the men from their ships, the mission quickly became a desperate journey of survival. Of the 300 men who had embarked on the journey, only four survived - three Spaniards and an African slave.

Publisher's Summary
A HIT NETFLIX FILM, WINNER OF 7 BAFTAS AND NOMINATED FOR 9 OSCARS
The most famous anti-war novel ever written.
One by one the boys begin to fall...
In 1914 a room full of German schoolboys, fresh-faced and idealistic, are goaded by their schoolmaster to troop off to the 'glorious war'. With the fire and patriotism of youth they sign up. What follows is the moving story of a young 'unknown soldier' experiencing the horror and disillusionment of life in the trenches.

amazing telling of a beautifully chilling story
It's the same formula to many war stories, a kid headed off to war too young and slowly numbed by the horrors of the front, but somehow this is still so enthralling. It's the earnest voice and the internal battle of the protagonist, half depreciating the infectious camaraderie of war, the other half questioning why they would ever happen.

Amazing Story, If a Bit Rushed Narration-Wise
The story in itself is one to be absorbed and digested. However the narration seemed a bit blasé. Had the narrator took more time to slow down and reach and become Paul in the book, it would have been more engaging.

What took me so long to finally read this book?
I am disappointed in myself that I didn’t read this book until deep into my 40’s. Probably the best book I have read and wonderfully narrated. I feel I need to watch/rewatch all 3 versions of the movie, not having seen the original but the two more recent iterations a couple of times each.

Heartbreaking melancholic reflections on the beauty of life in war
A literary masterpiece written with such beauty and reflective depth. The narrator’s voice and emotive sensitivity brought the story off the page and offered a moral window to comprehend the horrors of war and the vitality of the human heart. Five stars.
