BORING!

Revisado: 03-23-25

Four hours of my life I will never get back. Boring. Boring. Boring. Not much of a story, and not worth your time. Save your credit and skip this one.

Boring

Revisado: 10-10-24

I do have to say this was probably one of the most boring books I have ever listened to.  I enjoyed the book Olive Kitteredge, but this meandering story has no point at all. The characters are somewhat interesting, but there is no story or plot.

Good read!

Revisado: 05-26-23

This book is not written in the usual narrative. Instead, it is a series of interviews over time describing an event/crime, and keeps you guessing to the end. It held my attention and was an interesting story. I would read another book by this author.

Waaaayyyy too long

Revisado: 01-26-23

Although the story is cute and warming, it is way too long. I had to force myself to finish it. I probably wouldn’t have made it all the way through the book if the narrator hadn’t been so good. He made it bearable.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Revisado: 12-29-22

If you have trouble falling asleep, this is the book for you. It is the slowest, most boring thing I have ever read. It just goes on and on and on with sad sack stories, woven loosely together. It was OK and sweet if you like slow and sad, but this was not for me. It’s like a bad TV movie. I do not recommend it.

Sad Story, Well Written and Performed

Revisado: 09-03-22

A very interesting, albeit shocking and sad book. It holds your attention through to the end. The author did a great job in describing in exact detail the intense emotions of those characters in the book. I would have to believe that she must have experienced, or been to close someone who experienced, what happens throughout the story. The narrator did a good job as well. Warning: If you are not depressed when you start this book, you quite likely will be at the end. It’s the type of story that keeps you awake at night. Worth the read if you can take it.

Light Reading - Not Much Depth, but a Good Listen

Revisado: 09-03-22

A good yarn about two sisters, their strained relationship, and their adventures coming to America. It has very, very little to do with The Titanic. It seems to me that the title was more of an advertising ploy. The book was interesting and a told a story, the kind that would make a good TV movie. The author spends too much time describing certain things like the landscape and weather in Texas, which go into way too much detail, are boring, and add nothing. That said, I recommend the book if you are looking for something light to pass the time, without much depth. You’ll be speaking with a Irish brogue by the time you finish listening!

Just So-So and Unrealistic

Revisado: 06-06-22

The story held my attention, and the narrator did a great job. However, the story is not believable. The ways that a missing child investigation is handled is completely implausible in parts. It’s almost as if the author didn’t do her research. The story also takes a lot of unnecessary tributaries that add nothing to the story, and then the author leaves them unfinished. I would neither recommend, nor not recommend, this book. It’s a time filler, but not unrealistic. Also, the ending is completely absurd and, again, implausible.

No ending

Revisado: 07-22-21

The story was OK, but very dragged out and long. Not until the final chapters did it get interesting, in my opinion. Also, I hate books that have no ending. If I listen to something for hours and hours, I would like to have an ending. Not recommended.

Story so-so, Narrator Terrible

Revisado: 04-30-21

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this a 5. The story is drawn out, and not that interesting. Too long for what it is. On top of that, the narrator is horrible. she has a "vocal fry" thing going on, and uses it in every sentence. Really grates on one's nerves. I almost gave up on the book because of it. I'll avoid this narrator in the future.
