Voracious reader

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narrator was excellent and the book gave me 12+ hours of enjoyment.

Not for me

Revisado: 09-04-23

If you like having to turn your child over to government day care soon after birth so both you and your husband can go to work to pay more than half your wages in taxes, and have long, cold dreary months which give you a chance to light candles to give you a ‘hygge’ feel, and find it hard to have a conversation with strangers you meet because they tend to stick to their own, etc etc, then I say move to Denmark and join the happiest people on earth where alcoholism is rampant and antidepressants are commonplace.

Disappointing

Revisado: 08-21-23

I’ve read everything MHC wrote and this is the first book of hers that I’ve thought was boring. I didn’t like the caricature sounding voices of the narrator either. Not worth the credit.

Good story

Revisado: 03-24-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Since 911, I have been hesitant to read any books that might evoke the same feelings I personally felt after the attack. So saying that, I hadn’t read the other books in this series which was a mistake on my part. Although this book stands alone, I think I needed to read the others so I could have learned more of each of the character’s backgrounds to see how they related to each other in their operations and also how their characters have grown in the series. Saying all that, I did enjoy the book. The narrator has a little trouble with women’s voices but that’s totally understandable and didn’t hold that against him in any way, especially after doing so well with the male characters voices. My suggestion is to read the whole series in order.

Great book

Revisado: 08-24-21

I’ve had this book in my library for years but decided to try it and was totally surprised at how good it was. It was interesting from beginning to end. Not much drama, but a book that makes you feel good for having read it. I have 3 audible books by this author and started another one a year ago but had to stop due to the boring narrator but the two narrators that are reading this book were great.

A lot to dislike about this book

Revisado: 08-08-20

I realize I’m in the minority but I know what I like and what I don’t. This book reads like a person who just writes whatever happens to come into her head or whatever happens to be in front of her at the time, be it a receipt, an airline ticket, an order form reciting every digit or dash. It’s extremely wordy to the extent that you forget what she’s talking about by the time she stops rattling on and gets to the point, The author could have left out the profanity and fifty percent of the wording and then possibly the book would have been better. She basically hates everyone in Seattle and possibly the whole state of California. The mother is an unlikable, narcissistic, unsociable person. The child was likable for the first half of the book but not so much the second half. The father comes off as a dullard who lives for Microsoft. The book is a cat fight. If you like that sort of thing then this book is for you

Great book

Revisado: 05-17-20

I read a review that said this book was boring. I found it to be just the opposite. It was very interesting and the 14 hr length just flew by while I was listening. I also really enjoyed the narration. There were a lot of characters but Robin Miles has a talent for giving each character their own voice. All in all, this was a great book!!

Interesting book about the civil war

Revisado: 05-09-20

My only complaint is that the narrator should have spoken with a southern accent, rather than a northern one, to make it more realistic. I felt the lack of a southern accent was a bit jarring at times, especially when she clipped the ending to most of her words. Other than that, the book held my interest and never lagged or bored me.

Boring

Revisado: 10-18-19

I struggled to get thru 6 hours of this book and when I realized I still had 10 more to go, I stopped listening. It’s akin to watching paint dry. This story drones on and on and I feel the narrator doesn’t add anything to help this story along.

Far fetched

Revisado: 02-19-19

This book started out good and was getting pretty interesting but then took a turn and became too ridiculous to finish. I have no desire to listen to the remaining 3+ hours in order to find out how it ends.
