Reviews
Roughout
A great book depicting the brave and bold Texans as they strive to liberate themselves from Mexican domination. The reader didn't do badly, but actually rather well. but the close of each chapter and beginning of each chapter the reader exposes himself as an irreverent goon, Mr. Duck, not appropriate for such a book.
good story, well read
AirCanuck
Good story. Not sure what is up with the “Mr Duck” but hey. Whatever.
David Phone
Great book, narrator is an acquired taste. Be warned that in chapter two he skips a portion of the book, and I went on to project Gutenberg to find the part I missed. Mr. Duck seems to get all sorts of reactions from listeners, some live him, some don't. But I rather enjoyed him and I would always say "Mr. Duck" in his funny voice alongside him at the chapter starts.
Good Book, Over Confident Narrator
Daniel Gibson
Fun book but the narrator was awful. He made an effort but he doesn't understand vocal tone apparently. Obed White always sounds sinisterly whispery. All the Mexicans sound EXACTLY the same, both in voice and tone. It would have been alright if the narrator didn't clearly have a higher view of his skill than he actually had.

fascinating book. I'm very familiar with Mexico and was able to mentally follow his journeys and enjoyed having a reader who could actually pronounce the names of the Aztec and Mayan ruins and who bothered to use different voices. the only thing I didn't like was it ends very abruptly.
great book made better by an amazing narrator, Mr Duck π€£ππ
