What made the experience of listening to The Outpost the most enjoyable?
Very detailed everything from the bigger picture to the soldiers day to day lives. He also did a great job leaving politics out and letting you the reader decide for themselves but moreover this is a book about our troops and their sacrifice along with their families.
Who was your favorite character and why?
All of the men mentioned in this book and also those who may not have been mentioned.
Have you listened to any of Rob Shapiro’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've never listened to this narrator but he did a excellent job, he keeps the same voice throughout not changing for different characters but I found this to be a good thing not only because nothing sounded silly but it also does not put a "fake" voice to those that sacrificed, not unless the narrator knew exactly what these men and women's voices sounded like should he attempt their voice, and he does not.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wanted to but couldn't so I did it in two.
Any additional comments?
If you like books like Lone Survivor, American Sniper etc. then you will most likely enjoy this book, it reminded me more of the Vietnam book Matterhorn which was excellent.
