About this listen

Travel back to the 17th century & experience Germany's brutal 30-year war with someone who lived through it all. Dark, dark humor, bloody, gory, evil, with witches & fantasy episodes. Unadulterated adventure for those who seek it. Who could ask for more but perhaps too grim & violent for some.

Weird reading of an interesting book

I’ve listened to worse audiobooks, but normally they are free ones on Libravox or similar. A tune plays repetitively in the background for 15 hours, which at least serves to prove that your earphones haven’t fallen out during one of the weirdly long pauses, but is otherwise distracting. I keep wondering whether I’m now a Manchurian candidate waiting only for the tune to be played again before activating.

The reader’s voice isn’t dull and he seems to be putting the effort in to read it well, but constant stumbles and strange pronunciation do take away from the experience. It felt like it needed a decent editor.

The book itself is quite fun, but you are probably better off reading it rather than listening to this recording.
