Reviews
true story of life on the run
jaded_grl
the reader is loud and clear but sometimes his voice lacks fluctuations and the reading comes off boring despite the information being interesting. the man who escaped to tell this true tale was not in prison long, only a few weeks. and it was not one of the worst places (the incidence with the "cooties" confirms that). so if you are expecting to hear of horrors experienced in prison or "hogans heros" type stuff you will be disappointed. the story is mostly about his trek to Holland and what happens after he gets back to safety. a good story and makes me realize what a hard time people would have doing that nowadays because nobody has gardens to snatch a bite to eat from!

This audio book is extremely easy to enjoy. Pat Obrien tells his amazing story with complete clarity and straight to the point narrative. What a fantastic human story! I also must commend the reader on an excellent reading! Thank you so much for having taken the time and effort to deliver such a perfect delivery! Highly recommended!
awesome story

This is a great adventure told in a down home kinda way, which is almost as interesting as the story itself. Seeing how Pat related to the war and the world was a gift. Who wouldn't want to hear an adventure like this from the man himself. We'll read too.
Good book.
Fenn
Good book written very soon after the events and before world war 1 had finished. It tells of Pat's epic escape from German captivity after his plane was shot down and he was taken prisioner.
one of my favorite readers

freedom is a precious thing. it doesn't matter how dangerous, the minute one feels it fading, they will do what it takes to get it back. inspirational!
