All I NEVER Wanted to read

Reviewed: 09-04-18

Did I really listen to this JV book. At first, I thought I was listing to a junior hi bestseller. This is the shelf it should’ve been on except for some explicit sexual connotations that I am sure 13, 14 and 14 year-olds have heard of. I also thought I maybe had a Jodi Pucoult read alike since the book deals with moral issues. Don’t waste your time on this one unless you like to multitask. I did finish it because I listen to books and Quilt! Finished quilt but oh this book hurt. The performers voices were not mature enough to be the parents and all sounded like the teens they were talking about. Social\sexual\women issues that are worth discussing but not in this venue.

A Disappointment

Reviewed: 08-16-16

Where does Truly Madly Guilty rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It rates at the bottom of good listening. The performer's voice got on my nerves by chapter 70!

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

An ending that makes you "think" about whata good friends do to enhance and change your life.

Which scene was your favorite?

The neighbor at the window motioning to Erica to look around.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The husband and wife scenerio of blaming each other for a accident.

Any additional comments?

Not one of Moriarty's best books. Too long and too detailed. The best think about the book was Moriarty's characterization!

Thank Goodness for an Epilogue

Reviewed: 06-19-16

Would you try another book from Angela Huth and/or Caroline Lennon?

No.

Would you ever listen to anything by Angela Huth again?

I was not impressed with her writing style.

Did Caroline Lennon do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

I was not impressed with the narration and do not think Lennon did a good job in differentiating the characters. Huth on the other hand did an okay job in using character voice in writing to let the reader distinguish the Land Girls personality.

Could you see Land Girls being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I heard that this book was made into a movie. I was not enamored with the plot and do not think I would waste my time to see the movie.

Any additional comments?

This book was definitely not one of my favorite listen. I was very bored with the mundane events that took place in the year that the Land Girls worked on the farm during the second world war. I got the picture very quickly that a lot of "love" took place because of the not knowing what the future had to bring these young people. Thank goodness there was an epilogue for that tied up very loose ends and said "The End". The epilogue was the best part of the book.

A Quiet One

Reviewed: 05-30-16

What did you love best about Finding Jake?

A gripping story of a stay at home dad and a quiet child. The author weaves a tale of a traumatic event, flashbacks and the here and now that the listener can not turn off the sound.

What other book might you compare Finding Jake to and why?

Reardon writes in a Jodi Piccoult style.

What about George Newbern’s performance did you like?

He became the father with Reardon's words and his emotional performance.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Another shooting at a high school, 13 dead, and two suspects. How do parents of the accused deal with this reality?

What a Journey!

Reviewed: 03-24-16

I was entwined with the readers of this novel from the first page to the last. I so enjoyed how the author wove the web of two strong women's lives into one even though their skin tone and lives seemed as different as could be. The author had a way in transporting the "reader" into the past and the present and she gave you a vision of what prejudice really felt like through both main characters' eyes. The choice of narrators was perfect and made this journey so heartwarming and heart rendering. I didn't want this journey to end!!

: "Flashback"

Reviewed: 12-05-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would definitely recommend this book to people who like realistic stor tales. Love the English accent of the reader which makes the novel much more believeable since he setting is in Cromwell. Beware of the ending which in the other three of Kate's books was so much more believable. This ending left the reader totally thinking" rubbish!"

What about Caroline Lee’s performance did you like?

Excellent accent and believability of setting.

Who was the most memorable character of The Lake House and why?

The most memorable character was the old detective of 70 years that was still on the trail of a 70 year 'MISSING PERSON."

Man and Elephants

Reviewed: 07-11-15

Where does Leaving Time rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book ranks in the top 20 audio books I have listened to from Audio. The Narrators did an excellent job of character portrayal. The story line was quite different from any I have read, I learned a lot about elephants and Picoult did a great job researching and weaving their story into a disfunctional family's life. As alwaya with Picoult there is a twist!
