High C

Two totally unlikable protagonists

Revisado: 02-20-25

Did the author intend for his book to be read as a dispassionate performance? If so he got his wish. Given that the other character wimpy and non relatable, theres nothing left characterwise. The words are at times poetic but given the narration, the words sounded precious and irritatingly special. I wont say how it ends but don't hold your breath.

Narrator is Good

Revisado: 11-09-24

Where’s the plot, oh I get it, girl’s panties and various other such locker room narrative diversions.

stunning and strong

Revisado: 07-30-24

I will be playing this audio book many times. This is a real story of WW2. A history, a stunning compilation of short narratives by the soldiers who fought the war adds authenticity ,
But it’s the author himself, his story following the wars timeline, his brilliant prose about those affected by being in the center of the debacle from many perspectives that gives the reader a sense of hope for humanity.

I’m really happy to have found this little known but important history as only Rachel can recreate it.

The build up to each climax filled in the blanks very well.

Why do women authors feel obligated to observe "chick lit" rules? Every characters clothing and hair do is described. Each characters shallow feelings are divulged and tediously repeated as are the many plot build and resolutions. The book would be vastly improved if it were written and not contrived.

I was surprised that it wasn’t better

Revisado: 11-14-23

Brooks well crafted writing shines as always. But when reading the book, I seemed that well crafted was almost all it was. The characters spoke accurately regional. I kept trying to find some internal authenticity but the characters remained flat and cliched too much to involve me as a reader.

Read the conclusion first

Revisado: 05-07-23

No need to wade through a bunch of false leads that comprise this book and substitute for plot development. The whole book is told at the end, or rather explained. You can skip the superficial character development and sophomoric action, in the rare moments there is action.

I’m not a fan of “lady fiction.”

Revisado: 04-13-22

I found this story of go on and on with addition after addition . The main exposition consisted of boring girl talk. Short on action much of the book was talking about and not doing. I hope this writers next work will show that her characters have wit and intelligence. It is hard to get behind a character who doesn’t want to hold up her end financially but still be a sympathetic character.That the reader had a little guy url voice didn’t help.

Churchy Sermon

Revisado: 03-16-22

If you like religion via philosophy this is your book. It reminds me of an intellectual sermon I heard at an Episcopal Church service, by a cool
Priest who wanted to get the moral point across without being preachy

A great premise but way too long

Revisado: 11-16-21

Considering the rich concept of a 10 year old dangerous psychopath. I anticipated a suspenseful story with riveting highs and purposeful lows. Instead, I found that the plot is flat and draggy. Many repeats and big runs of dialog featuring clever high school provides many pages of fill. It seems the author didn’t keep track of what she had already written and forgot where she was going. Perhaps she was rushed by the publisher whose editor quit. I recommend listening to the book as wallpaper while you are doing something else.
