Dangerous Days


Lu par Nicholas Clifford (1930-2019)

(4.9 stars; 1132 reviews)

Dangerous Days opens in a still neutral America, though within a year the country will have joined the European alliance against the Central Powers in the first world war. Clayton Spencer, a successful industrialist and owner of a munitions plant, finds himself facing several problems: not only anarchism and German sabotage, but also the prospect of a deteriorating marriage, and of a son who all too often shares his mother's frivolous and essentially self-concerned point of view. How far will America's entry into the war change such views? What will it mean for Spencer, for his family, and for his business?

Critiques

Prepare to be moved!


(5 stars)

I truly loved this book! In the beginning it felt fluffy and kind of lacking, but this author KNOWS what she's doing! Excellent plot and character development! I'd be very surprised if you don't feel a good bit of emotion as you live through These Dangerous Days. This novel left me wanting to know more about this period of history. I didn't realize I knew so very little, and had pondered so very little, about life, at least for some, and from some perspectives, before and during WW1. I was drawn in and captivated until the end. It's well worth a little patience at the start!

Inspired Story


(5 stars)

Apart from my genuine love of this book, is my most sincere admiration of Mr. Nicholas Clifford's tremendous reading abilities! He reminds me of my late Father's bedtime readings of the classics, to my Brother & I. "ThankYou" seems inadequate, so, let me say, "Thank You, so very, very, sincerely, for the hours of dedicated reading, Sir.

Beautifully written, beautifully read!


(5 stars)

What a fabulously well written book. The plot development and character development are flawless. And the reading by Nicholas Clifford is also flawless.

(5 stars)

A very well written viewpoint of the crucible of war on the homefront. This is Rinehart's finest work, augmented by Clifford's always golden narration.

A Must Listen


(5 stars)

This novel is set in an American town in the period leading up to and during World War I. War was a very different experience then than it is for Americans now, so in a way we discover it as the characters do. The characters in the story are as well-drawn as in any novel I have ever read, and I was caught up in their lives almost instantly. The reading is professional; in fact, I recognize the voice of one of the most successful audio book readers in the field today, reading under what I suppose could be called a nom de vox. Thanks for donating your marvelous gift, Nicholas.

WOW!!! I learned so much about our country's views just before entering WWI. The plot and characters were so well developed I didn't want the story to end! Nicholas Clifford is an impeccable reader! Another reviewer said they would listen to Mr. Clifford "read a tax return!" I concur wholeheartedly!!! Thank you, Mr. Clifford for bringing this story to life! I will listen to this again in time. It helped me understand why they had camps for Japanese American in WWII. Heretofore I truly didn't know. It is still hard to swallow but I understand why. Global history brought down to individual lives is ALWAYS more interesting and relevant.

Professor Nicholas Clifford was the best!


(5 stars)

Professor Clifford you left a hole in my heart and are highly missed. Having listened to every recording Professor Clifford has posted, I contend to be an authority on his narrative style. The narrative pac is excellent and his inflections are spot-on. One always knows who the character is and to whom he is speaking. His death is a huge loss to all things written and his vocal style.


(5 stars)

Excellent narration. I liked this book as there are numerous situations that keep one interested. Highly recommend.
