Enjoyable easy listening

Revisado: 03-30-24

I just finished a series where most of the characters were conniving and hateful, dealing with war and politics.

I needed a light story where the characters actually liked each other. This was perfect and it was a good story.

These ladies are the bomb!

Revisado: 03-09-23

It’s like listening to a friend tell a story, except with researched details. I went to see the musical “Six” and before I went I listened to the History Chicks podcasts on Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and the “other four wives”. It really filled in the background details in the musical (which was fantastic).

History with a sense of humor.

Okay but a bit frustrating

Revisado: 11-21-17

The story was okay and kept my interest.

I couldn’t get past an experienced investigator not being able to defend herself. I also can’t believe someone so obviously out of control could be a detective. The main character needs work.

Begins terribly, ends well

Revisado: 07-22-17

I'm very confused about the ratings. It got a 3.9 at last check but the reviews are much lower.

The beginning was very confusing and disjointed. I almost gave up but I was painting the house so I just let it play.

The middle and end were much more interesting, after I figured out where the story was going.

I'm on the fence about recommending this book, unless you painting your house.

Dam'd funny!

Revisado: 03-22-17

Jodi is so tongue and cheek funny. The story is good at introducing her storyline.

She sprinkles in enough history to tingle my historian interests.

She needs a bit deeper male voice though. Sometimes I don't grasp that the character talking has changed.

Rich character development

Revisado: 02-11-17

I loved everything about this book. He seamlessly wove fiction into a rich musical history. I liked learning about the structure of a classical music piece and how he tied it to life.

I thought it very interesting the he had the character of music providing the narration.

Great character development in an interesting historical period within a rich niche of life.

Good character chemistry

Any additional comments?

This was a fun mystery but not really suspenseful. It was a comfortable quick listen. Great entertainment.

Not my type of book and I loved it!

Revisado: 12-11-15

Any additional comments?

My mind tends to wander when a book doesn't have a lot of car crashes or shootings so this was a total surprise. At first I was a bit turned off by the anger and hostility in Ove's attitude but then his life unfolded and I was hooked.

An average man (albeit a bit cranky) living a somewhat average and honorable life. Written with an understanding and humor that makes you nod your head then laugh then tear up then laugh again.

Loved the cat and Parvaneh. Every introverted man needs a strong woman to make his life colorful.

Wish this were required reading in high school

Revisado: 07-29-14

Any additional comments?

Although this book is a bit self-agrandizing it makes some very important points. If kids in high school knew how much untrue garbage is spewed on the web there might be a lot less anxiety in their lives.

For the adults that get their news from the web, maybe we should take it less seriously and think twice before reaching conclusions.

I can't say this is a great book but the points it makes are very important in todays society.

Couldn't stop listening

Revisado: 08-03-06

A wonderful story with great character development. It's well read and I was sorry when it ended.

I immediately purchased the next book in the trilogy.
