Fast moving, with twists and turns!

Revisado: 04-09-24

The book starts fast and constantly surprises you. Really enjoyed this. What’s funny is that I thought I was buying a non-fiction book about dark matter in the universe. Normally I would request my money back, but I got caught up in the story immediately.

Lightweight material

Revisado: 01-13-23

This felt very superficial, and not very useful. Her first book remains her best. Loved that one.

Longer than necessary but still a great book.

Excellent message. Could have been covered in half the time but the additional words reinforced the technique.

Land of boring repetition

Revisado: 04-27-11

Could have been great. Instead it was incredibly boring. No character development. Repetition of what readers already knew over and over and over. You WILL be disappointed. There was maybe an hour of worthwhile material in 34 hours of listening. Save yourself. Do not buy. One upside, there were a fraction of the stupid, never-ending sex scenes compared to previous books. Narration was fine. Thank goodness for the fast forward button.

Will appeal to a certain type

Revisado: 06-07-10

After listening to this, I wondered what ever induced me to purchase it. I went back to read the summary, and I still don't know. It is clearly a romance novel, and I've not read one in decades, so I was surprised (and rolled my eyes a lot) at the very graphic "perfect-man" sex. I was annoyed at the perfunctory element of paranormal events and also at the way that key plot elements were not tied up. Guess they want me to buy book 2. Ain't gonna happen.

A Little Bit Shallow

Revisado: 01-19-10

I love her singing, but she spends way more time talking about things like her hair extensions than her experiences on the stage. I still think she's great, but I hope she eventually writes something more substantial. It's amazing that she needed a ghost writer to write something this light weight. C'mon Kristy, you can do better. And the title was ridiculous. She's about as un-wicked as they come, so it makes no sense, even with her experience in the show, "Wicked." Pandering.

Where was his editor?

Revisado: 03-28-07

What an interesting concept! What a weak result!

Your questions about the characters and the afterworld(s) are never answered. Loose ends are never tied up. Huge sections are tedious meditations or pointless reminisceses.

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

I warmed to the Indian aspects of the story.

Revisado: 08-03-06

I began the book looking forward to the pilgrim aspect of the story, but actually found that the less entertaining part of the book. I found the discussion of the religious aspects tedious. The actual crossing is given short shrift. The real meat is in the analysis of the evolution of the relationship early settlers had with the indians.

mediocre

Revisado: 02-16-06

Yes, he shined a light on some things, but there is plenty of rotten stuff he forgot, like the advent of a national income tax and withholding. I agree with a previous reviewer who said that there was a lot of cherry-picking and fact-twisting. Things just ain't that simple.

I wish I could have given it five stars

Revisado: 02-16-06

I can't give this five stars because the sound quality was not very good, even after I switched to level 4 download quality. It was particularly muddy at first, until perhaps I got used to his reading style. The narrator lent very little personality to his characterizations. It is a very interesting story and well written, but I disagree with a previous reviewer who liked that the book did not go into the happenings after the rescue. But I do give it four stars and think it is definitely worth a download credit.
