Absurd

Revisado: 04-24-23

Hollow, almost a story and yet nowhere close to being worthy of being published as a book. It could have, almost, if you squint one eye while simultaneously plugging both ears could have possibly had potential in there somewhere but it’s too bad to be worthy of the time investment required to perform the autopsy necessary to determine where the potential remains.

Genius!

Revisado: 03-27-22

I must confess, I judged this book so poorly when I found it in my “Recommended for you” Audible list. When I read the summary and then listened to the sample, I falsely concluded that the plot was so ridiculous that no author could turn it into a sophisticated story, so no one was more shocked than I to discover the moment when it occurred to me that the author had tricked me and gone and done just that, turn a plot as ridiculous as this one into a genius storyline backlit by a keen awareness of true human behavior.

Bravo

By far, the narrators are the best I’ve ever heard used to bring a story to life. The book is so incredible I would have loved it, regardless, but the narrators made the characters so alive and present it felt more like I attended a play rather than listened to a story.

I could not stop listening!

Revisado: 11-06-18

I am so shocked by the bad reviews!!!! I’ve read some Grisham but not every book he’s ever written and while I agree this isn’t a court room thriller, it is a profound and rich character study and is painful in its accurate reflection of the collateral damage the acts, mistakes, and confused perspective wrought by people. Even great people. Strong people. People big and small are fallible and none of us are spared. I listened to this book for 10 straight hours on day 1 and finished it on day 2.

Wow

Revisado: 12-01-16

This book started off a little slow and uninteresting despite the subject matter but then suddenly something happens and it takes off. Once it did, it left me changed for the better. I'm so glad I listened to it.

Bravo Liane Moriarty and Caroline Lee

Revisado: 07-31-16

I don't know how Liane Moriarty keeps doing it! How can she have this many extraordinary books in her and when can I get another, please? The characters, the nuance in relationships, in perspective, guilt, regret, love, loss...Liane Moriarty writes these things better than anyone else.

And, I truly wish that Caroline Lee not only narrated every book I listen to but I also wish she would do voice overs in my daily life, too.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Worst Jane Green book

Revisado: 07-24-16

I hate to hate this book because I love Jane Green so much that I even preordered this one, but I just didn't like it. Hate is too strong of a word for how I feel about it but it certainly is the worst book she's ever written. If it was someone else's book it wouldn't be too bad but knowing her past work and her talent set a bar for this book that it just didn't reach. And, I also don't want to disparage get any further but I wish she would stop narrating her own books. She does a good job for the lead female character but a poor job on everyone else.

This book is so bad

Revisado: 04-06-16

I kept listening just because I couldn't find another book to replace it with and a lot of time to fill packing and moving so I needed something, but I regret every minute of it. This book was so bad it made me angry to listen to it. The dialogue is weak, the relationships are unbelievable, the characters are a joke and the story is not only ill conceived but all over the place...pick a direction, a plot, a story line!! Don't waste your time with this book. I don't understand how the author is a New York Times best selling author because he/she struggles with the basics like character and plot development. It's like a talented middle schooler wrote this book.

Loved!

Revisado: 03-26-16

I loved this book. It was like Richard Russo meets Jonathan Tropper meets American Beauty. I often spend hours on Audible looking for a good book. I've either read or listened to so many that it's difficult to find another that catches my attention. This one was buried deep within the list and I'm so glad I kept digging until I found it. I highly recommend it.
