I was expecting this to be documentary-style with some research behind it, but it's really just a collection of quotes from firefighters. Some are one liners and some are long stories, some sad and some happy, some that re-inforce what you know and some that contradict your assumptions. Overall, I liked it because I learned a little bit about the profession. The failure for me is with the narrator of the audiobook who tries to give each quote a new voice, but mostly it just sounds like he's switching off between Boston and New York accents. (It started to bug me when some of the tidbits were obviously from men who lived in California or even Australia.)

Offered up and claimed during iwillrejoice's Audio Virtual Bookbox.

I received the audio book in the mail today. I'm looking forward to listening to the stories of the firefighters. We'll see what I think about the narrator.

I wasn't bothered by the narrator's voice at all. I really enjoyed listening to all the tidbits and little stories. It gave me an idea of various facets of what firefighters go through in their job. I was listening to the book in the morning and at night in bed, so the format of the quotes worked out especially well for me, I could listen to just a few or a lot of them.

Sending this off in my Shrinking Audio Bookbox http://www.bookcrossing.com/forum/20/473307/

I picked this out of Littlebird's bookbox. I think my Son who is a police officer would enjoy it.
