Absolute delight!!

Revisado: 10-21-19

Between the fantastical adventure story, Snog, and the AMAZING narrator, this made for a fun road trip read. Definitely a good laugh among the way.

I tried

Revisado: 10-19-17

Maybe this genre just isn't for me, but I tried. After the first three hours, I still had to make myself listen. Couldn't get in to the character or plot direction.

Delightful

Revisado: 10-04-16

Would you listen to Objects of My Affection again? Why?

Not on the top of my list for a re-listen, but enjoyed it for the time we spent together.

What did you like best about this story?

Light and easy story with enough going on to stay interested, yet not too heavy to weigh down the listener.

Never ending circle

Revisado: 09-27-16

Trying to give young another chance after just finishing another one of her novels. Unfortunately, The program is just a few never ending plot circles that never get resolved. As soon as it starts to really get interesting, it's over! The synopses tells a better version of the story than the full work. Was really hoping for more!

...predictable

Revisado: 09-20-16

I was hoping this book would stretch the imagination a bit more than it did. Unfortunately, it was very predictable. I was hoping for so much more with this type of premise. Bummed.

So much fun!

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

I have not read the print version, but I had fun listening to this and would recommend it to many people I know.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Divine Misfortune?

Lucky had a lot of nuance that made me laugh out loud at times, but I would have to say their interrupting a dream was fun to imagine.

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

Yes! Once I started, it was a hard novel to pause.

Couldn't even finish

Would you try another book from Tom Rachman and/or Penelope Rawlins?

I would not try another book by Tom Rachman, but I would be open to hearing Penelope Rawlins reading a different novel.

What was most disappointing about Tom Rachman’s story?

By half way through I still wasn't interested in the main character. It jumped around too much between locale and past/present. By the time I had figured out how some of the characters connected, the book skipped to a different time/place in her history and I had to re-establish myself within the story. Maybe this would be a better novel to read than to listen to. I was unable to stay interested in the story because it took so much of my focus to follow.

Any additional comments?

There are books you can't put down or can't stop listening to - sneaking in a few minutes where ever you can. And then there is this novel... I had to talk myself in to listening for the few hours I made it through.

I thought I could do it...

Would you try another book from Amy Ewing and/or Erin Spencer?

I just don't think so. Unfortunately, I convinced myself I could get into the story line below the terrible "love" story, but in the end the author just didn't want to let that happen.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Not really

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The surrogate story line had so much promise!! I would love to read the version where a love story didn't interrupt the storyline

A little confused

Revisado: 05-15-15

Would you try another book from Kazuo Ishiguro and/or David Horovitch?

Probably not from Ishiguro, but Horovitch was fantastic!

Any additional comments?

I found this book to be very confusing. There were multiple storylines traveling within each other and as an audio book I never really felt rooted in the novel. I can't really tell you anything about it but that I enjoyed Horovitch's voice.... still not sure what really happened in the 11 hours I just heard.

Happy Surprise

Revisado: 02-04-15

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

Yes! Everyone was recommending this to me, but I was slow to check it out. Don't make the same mistake! It's a great listen and amazingly satisfying story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Water for Elephants?

The conclusion was very well built up and laid out.
