A refreshing novel

Revisado: 02-02-24

How intriguing to have the 3 most famous detectives in history solving crimes in present day NYC. I loved the different storylines/cases - they were well designed and told. I would read another novel with these characters! They have a promising future.

A Lovely Ideas for you to do

Revisado: 09-24-20

This is the touching story of how Tolkien keeps Christmas alive for his children. I wish I had small children to do this with. My drawing would be elementary in style, but oh, the fun and joy this brings to mind!

A must read

Revisado: 09-24-20

I do not consider myself a reader of books about wars, but I do enjoy a good biography. This is both and it is magnificent! A thoughtfully presented book sharing both the POW and his wife's POV for 8 years of the war in Vietnam. The strength, courage, character, and faith that helped the POW's make it through this difficult time and bond them forever makes this a must read for everyone.

A must read for everyone!

Revisado: 12-07-19

I was reading this for book club and almost stopped. Two other member encouraged me to get past the first five or six chapters. I persevered - OMG - so glad I did. This is the story of a man and his wife, a homeless man, and the impact they have on each other and their world. Everyone really needs to read this book.

A women's right book

Revisado: 12-07-19

The story of Milicent Patrick eventually gets told, but it is more of a story about Hollywood's gender injustices. I don't think there really was enough material on Milicent Patrick, she even states that she wondered that, so she sprinkles in Millicent's past with the injustices that were prevalent of the times and ties it to today's issues. I loved reading about Milicent's triumph's - as a successful woman of today - not so much the rest of the book.

Back to the Jungle

What a shocking story! Totally unexpected development. Storyline goes quickly. Narrator does an excellent job. Why didn't I read these stories when I was younger? Well written, full of detailed description s and excellent vocabulary.

Not a favorite

Revisado: 03-13-16

The 10th anniversary story is disappointing and confusing. If Stepanie Meyer wanted to do a role reversal story, I think she could have done better. Why couldn't Chief Swan be a woman. Changing the names only slightly made me keep trying to compare it to the original story and their character traits.
The original was and is great.

LOL

Revisado: 02-22-15

What did you love best about Dixie Diva Blues?

I work in the south - so I could "hear" some of my friends saying some of the exact things these ladies were saying and doing. I LOL so many times. :)

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dixie Diva Blues?

I loved the friendship bonding time. Girlfriends are like that and Virginia Brown hit it right on the head.

Did Karen Commins do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

For the most part yes.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and no. Audible books are my gift to myself for my long drives home. If I listen to them when I'm not driving, I 1- get nothing done at home 2 - have nothing to "read" on my drives 3 - have to buy more books. I finished this one while I was making cards :)

Any additional comments?

I felt the role of the men in the story to be a little weak - I would be in soooo much trouble if I pulled some of those stunts - I also respect my husbands enough to listen to his requests.

A Pleasant Surprise

Revisado: 02-22-15

What made the experience of listening to A Crafty Christmas the most enjoyable?

I love murder mysteries and I enjoy scrapbooking and card making. So, to find a book that combined both was a bonus. There was humor and the writing was realistic. I laughed outloud while I was reading it.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

While the protagonist thought she knew who the murderer was, proving it was something else. The author did a good job putting twists in that made me want to keep reading.

What about Barbara Edelman’s performance did you like?

Her reading was good. She was consistent with the voices, but I would have liked a little more differentiation between some of the characters.

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

Embellish!

Any additional comments?

Enjoyed the book so much, I am looking at the series.

Would you consider the audio edition of Brisingr to be better than the print version?

I can't compare the two, I only have the audio version.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Brisingr?

Eragon learning about his parents.

Have you listened to any of Gerard Doyle’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've only heard Doyle's performances in the Eragon series, but I thought this book was his best performance ever!

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

All is fair in love and war.
