Can you count the letter "a" in:
Great stories - very interesting, funny, sad... magnified by the performance of Adam Driver. His reading is a piece of art.
I couldn't put it down. To be honest, I first got the book because I adore Adam Drivers' voice and the content sounded interesting enough. But I was humbled and amazed by the content, the honesty and humanity of the book touched me in ways I didn't expect or know I needed. I am very grateful for this book.
Try not to Cry, I Dare You.
Would you listen to The Theater of War again? Why?
I definitely will. It's a well written, emotional book that caters to my interests in classics and psychology. It's very interesting, emotional, and thought-provoking.
Well, my favorite section of the book was the one about veterans. It's the first audience Doerries brought Theater of War to, and he expands upon it the most. It was really enlightening, and it also shed a lot of light on my parent's own marriage, ironically.
With Adam Driver narrating, any scene where he gets to really use his talent is a good one. While most of the book is a narrative of the reasons behind, actions, and effects of Theater of War, there are a plethora of Doerrie's intriguing translations that Driver expertly performs.
Oh, I listened to this at work one day - start to near finish - and it was a huge mistake. I had to stop actively several times to stop myself from crying. It's a really emotional book, and hearing about what the people Doerries worked with was very heavy. As was the connection I felt to some of them.
Adam Driver reads the first few chapters in a bit of a hurry, but later finds his groove. Any time he has to read a direct quote from someone emoting, he KILLS it.
Yes. This is book addresses 3 major issues in our culture: 1) our treatment of veterans 2) our treatment of prisoners and 3) our treatment of those facing death.
What about Adam Driver’s performance did you like?
He actually read with emotion. If a quoted passage involves emotion, he would speak using that emotion.
I'm an Iraq combat veteran and I had the pleasure of seeing TOW in person as well as meeting Mr. Doerries. This is a book I will give to fellow veterans. I wish I would have read this 8 years ago instead of dealing with PTSD mostly on my own for so long.
I got this book because of my interest in greek plays but I was rewarded with the sincere stories of personal pain and how greek theatre helped people deal with it. From war, to the death of someone close to dealing with the end of life, Bryan Doerries provided me with eye opening realizations. Adam Driver brought the greek tragedies to life and kept my attention throughout. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience!
A thoughtful work that has definitely left me with a lot to think about. The interplay between theatre, philosophy and psychology is novel (to me at least) and compelling.
Lively narration by the distinctive Adam Driver, whose reading of the book kept me interested until the end.
Adam Driver's commitment to his role as narrator helped bring Bryan Doerries' already compelling story to life. Whether you download this audible recording or buy the actual book, it's well worth the read/listen. This story will resonate and stick with the thousands.
I originally got this book because it was narrated by Adam Driver. However, by the end of the first chapter I was hooked both by the subject and the narration. I was moved to tears on many occasions by the author's observations and the stories of the people he was writing about. The narration added to the effect and while I feel this book would be great on its on..the impassioned narration really added and enhanced the feelings and points the author was trying to put across. I just ordered the hard copy version.
Got it because Adam Driver. Voice like butter. Riveted by content. I adore Greek tragedies. Theater of War, Arts in the Armed Forces- they provide an amazing service. Thank you.
Gripping scene readings, thought-provoking accounts of people's relationship to fictional and real-life tragedy. Fantastic book.
