DoveKeepers was a snore-fest the first night and the second night was no better.

I skipped it because I hated the book. It was a book club selection so I felt obligated to finish it, so got the audio version so I could listen while doing something else.

The audio was the way to go as different readers read each woman's part and made it easier to understand the characters. I thought the author, Alice Hoffman, did a very poor job of making each women's voice distinct. They all sounded the same when read.

The Ernest K Gann book and the old mini series based on it, Masada, were both very good and I recommend them for those who want to learn the story. I know this new attempt was be from the "woman's perspective" butI think it falls short.
