Beautiful descriptive writing, interesting juxtaposed, plot

Revisado: 11-21-24

This is one of those books where the narration really added to my enjoyment of the story as it unfolded. There were some really standout characters that were quirky and poignant at the same time, I enjoyed all the details and embellishments, perhaps a bit more than the actual core story.

I really appreciate the main character had a strong, moral compass as well as an inquisitive mind. A satisfying vacation read.

Compelling story with compelling characters

Revisado: 10-09-24

Throughout the book, there is a subplot of climate change certainly timely. I thought that was important and relevant but what I really liked Were the interwoven stories of a contemporary family, sometimes doing things right and often doing things wrong. The python, the cricket tacos, the descriptions of Florida smelling basically like a swamp all the time all these details added so much dimension to what was going on in the story.

Much better than expected

Well written, great characters, lots of twists and turns and the characters are older, that is refreshing

Unique plot but…

Revisado: 02-28-24

Just never cared about any of the characters, all humanized animals. Barely finished it, felt like target audience was maybe teenage boys.

I really like the robots

Revisado: 11-18-23

I like the first book in the series better but I have consistently liked the robots. Particularly as an audiobook you have to pay attention with this, because there are a lot of characters and things bounce around but the premise is interesting and there are definitely some plot twists.

The story became more compelling

Revisado: 05-23-23

Had a little difficulty engaging with the authors story and style, but became increasingly interested and engaged. She had an unusual childhood, and is indeed herself a somewhat unusual person I had to re-listen to some of the beginning, but I was glad I did. It was intriguing how she interwove her life story with mushrooms, and how they grow and develop. And reproduce. I don’t have to be the

Somehow I kept going it was listening to Dolly Parton as one of the narrators

Revisado: 11-22-22

If anyone else had written this book, I’m sure I would not have finished it, but it was fun to listen to Dolly Parton, and it seem to have a hint of an autobiographical story. However, the dialogue was painful and the part that made Rose run just did not come together, seemed gratuitous the whole thing had a feeling of enormous predictability.

Outstanding

Revisado: 04-08-21

Sometimes I use audible narration to listen to books at night before I go to sleep, I must admit I listened to this about four times because I would fall asleep and not be able to follow what was happening. So maybe this got into my DNA a bit and I finally just listened to the whole thing over again and it was an incredible treat. Historically interesting, lyrically written and the actors and actresses brought every character to life, their quirkiness and ambitions and even their willingness to be somewhat unethical one another to achieve their end goals.

Very entertaining until last 25% of the tale

Revisado: 05-29-19

Like many I thought it was a fun listen until it morphed into a poorly written sci-fi goofball plot at the end but whatever, walking the dog, washing dishes I decided to just finish it anyway, there is potential here for the writer and the narrator was great

So bad I cannot believe it got published this is something like Fifty Shades of Grey only much worse

Revisado: 01-07-18

This book had nothing to recommend it, the story was confusing boring and poorly constructed. The adult content, something I occasionally enjoy just seemed tasteless not erotic . I did not like one character in the book and I felt the main character, Avery, was pathetic in the true sense of the word. I read or listen to two - three books a week and this was a standout for awful.

I subsequently noted this is an author with a fair number of published books, honestly I assumed it was a first or second published book. I only finish the book because it was very short and it was so bad I just wanted to say if it ever got better. It did not, there is a sequel oh spare me.
