Anti Depressant?

Revisado: 02-26-23

A very well written, thought provoking story that might be a good recommendation to acquaintances on anti depressants, or those prone to depression, perhaps? Join Nora as she ‘tries on’ multiple lives and discovers the secret to a happy life. I enjoyed the narration and it was one of those rare books that I could have (well actually did!) listen to all day :) Highly recommend!

Food for Thought

Revisado: 07-06-21

I enjoyed the passions demonstrated by the characters about their beliefs. The book confirms that the world is shades of grey not black and white.
I enjoyed the narrator but the movement back and forth in time can be confusing when listening not reading. All in all a good listen.

I really enjoyed this book and the main character.. found the narrator very challenging to listen to. Persevered due to the storyline.

Danny Dunn Doesn’t Disappoint

Revisado: 07-02-20

As with all Bryce Courtenay books you will laugh, cry, grimace and sing! The story of Danny Dunn, while not Courtenay’s best, is sure to have you seeking out your next quiet time so you can be alone to listen and be entertained by the next chapter. Personally I enjoy listening to Humphrey Bower and think his vernacular is well matched to Courtenay’s quintessential ’Aussie’ tales. Thanks again Bryce for another entertaining (and always subtly educational)read.

New York history

Revisado: 09-13-19

Really enjoyed learning a little about New York’s early history which was woven through this story. The Dakota apartment building near Central Park and Blackwell’s Island we’re both intriguing settings for a well crafted and easy to listen to story set both in the late 1800’s and 1980’s. Worth listening to!

Not one of her best books.

Revisado: 07-16-19

I love Kristen Hannah's books but I wasnt really a fan of this one. it was a bit predictable and ho hum. I will continue to read other books of hers though as she does produce fabulous reads. I struggled with the voice of the little girl and a couple of the other characters. each to their own. I'm sure other people will enjoy her but not for me I'm afraid.

Unpredictable, loveable, fresh and interesting!

Revisado: 04-28-19

Loved this book almost from the first sentence. One of the few books that I wasn’t able to predict what would happen next. Quinn used a range of literary devices to keep the narrative fresh and interesting and I found the narration by Maarleveld to be enjoyable to listen to also. The story’s settings and narrative’s alternate between Eve who works as a spy in France during WW1 and Charlie a 19 year old “yank” who travels to France in 1946 to search for her cousin who hasn’t been heard from since before the end of WWII. Be warned there is a fair amount of swearing in parts but this is indicative of the author’s very real portrayal of the characters whose stories I couldn’t wait to hear the next episode of. Well worth your money, a great read!

Revisado: 04-01-19

I enjoyed the narrator, the storyline and the characters. some aspects were a bit unbelievable but overall, I enjoyed the way the story unfolded and I was never quite sure how it would end.
