Historia
Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

Contrived negative abuse of a child
Revisado: 01-01-25
The author just goes on and on endlessly to make the main character’s life as miserable as possible. Tons of people have reviewed this book and given it high ratings but the nonstop worst case scenarios to a child make the story unbelievable which makes the reader numb and unempathetic. It’s too much. Too contrived. Too negative and therefore the author lost me. I tried to soldier through bc soooo many people liked this book as a favorite but must not be readers of good literature😂

Soooo tired
Revisado: 09-21-24
Story is about as original as the word “the.” Narrator pronounces words incorrectly and monotone. The round and round with the “mean prosecutor” added to its tired monotony. Women are window dressing.

Historia
It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.

Got better a bit more interesting then…
Revisado: 09-06-24
The writing was hard to tolerate and dour in the beginning of the book — felt very cliche and tired. Got a little better when the two main female characters meet but their irritating banter and the cliche storylines made me think that the author was new at writing fiction— turns out, she is. What kept me listening was the potential for the story line in relation to the title of the book. I could see, and would like, a story about people helping people move forward and heal in life. So the book got a little better once the main character started acting her age (40) and asserting herself. The end was lazy and trite— all the novel’s storylines come together in a tidy bow. The middle of the book is way more compelling than beginning and end.

Wonderful detective novel and series
Revisado: 07-29-24
Excellent. Great characters and story. I just love how the author submerges us into that era in British history so completely and with humor. Gentle English universal human humor. I can’t wait to read another Charles Finch Lenox detective novel.
This review was paid for by no one! Just my honest enjoyment expressed.

Historia
Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

Least favorite but still so Ann Patchett
Revisado: 04-03-24
I love many of Ann Patchett’s books. State of wonder, the Dutch house. Bel Canto. Tom Lake didn’t click with me as much. Probably would have been better to read this book than listen to it to follow the characters better— due to duplicate Emilys and jumping back and forth - found that confusing via audible. Yet I always appreciate and admire the depth of the characters and story in Ann Patchett novels bc I learn so much about new things and that is still what this book delivers. Just not as engaging as some of her other works.

Historia
The correspondence between Carrie Allsop and David Mayer reveals, piece by piece, the painful details of a devastating affair between their spouses. With each commiserating scratch of the pen, they confess their fears and bare their souls. They share the bewilderment over how things went so wrong and come to wonder where to go from here. Told entirely through the letters of two comforting strangers and those of two illicit lovers, Evidence of the Affair explores the complex nature of the heart. And ultimately, for one woman, how liberating it can be when it’s broken.

William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him—so when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano in his freshman year of college, it’s as if the world has lit up around him. With Julia comes her family, as she and her three sisters are inseparable: Sylvie, the family’s dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all.

After reAding so much awful “bestseller” fiction that was so u satisfying and a waste of time— this is meaty and well done — weaving of very complicated human “stuff” about a family and how the personalities evolve over a lifetime. Interesting book.

Low score but read it all
Revisado: 03-17-23
While this book went on and on forever — I mean 17 hours plus of audible narration—-it was one of those books that led me down the garden path to nothing really. Full of stuff that is hard to believe or accept but was written in a way that made me want to keep going on the very bitter end with the story. So I give it a 3 :-/

The Sangres Motorcycle Club are outlaws, notorious for drug-running, illegal weapons sales, and possibly even murder. But what they don’t know is that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has a man on the inside. Can Darrin “Koz” Kozlowski survive long enough to bring them down from within?

Interesting
Revisado: 01-15-23
Filled my listening needs till my next credit arrives 😂. Always amazes me that non fiction lacks drama. The story telling comes from a cop so I guess Just The Facts Ma’am. Did like knowing a little more about recent LA history even though I lived through these times right in the hills of Hollywood — had no idea of biker gangs.
