This was a book selected by another member of my book group. I rolled my eyes after reading the description but, decided to keep an open mind. I was surprised at how quickly I became engrossed in the story. The reader performances are stellar. I’m not sure I liked the way the author wrapped up the story lines in the end but, I understood her choices. I highly recommend this book!

I knew nothing about the Mormon Trail and the experience of the pilgrims. This story was enlightening and fascinating.

The story is very engaging. Deep questions being asked. Answered differently from the perspective of each character. I really didn’t want the story to end. Two thumbs up for this one!

I didn’t expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. The story was compelling. There were enough plot twists to keep me guessing. I found myself talking back to the narrator as she read Laura Chamber’s story to me. I couldn’t believe some of the choices Laura made. “Stop! You’re making a bad decision!,” I heard myself say. She did it anyway. Laura is such a mess. I couldn’t bring myself to like her but I wanted her to succeed. Well worth your time!

Was it the story or Tom Hank’s narration that captured my attention? I’m not sure. Either way, the time I gave to listen to this story was very well spent.

At first, I thought I’d have the plot figured out for this book in a flash. I was surprised that I needed to keep adjusting my assumptions. I enjoyed the different voices of the narrators. Worth the time and the credit!

I was skeptical about this Oprah title at first. I didn’t think I could tolerate simplistic life advice accompanied by quotes from Oprah’s friends and acquaintances. I was wrong. I just finished the book and I am so very glad I listened. Thanks, Oprah!

I needed to push through the first one-third of this book. Once Moulson made it to the prison though, the real story began.

I finished this one quickly as I couldn't stop listening. Disturbing and dark not entirely unpredictable, the story grabbed my attention and sucked me in quickly. The narration was superb. This one is a must listen.

I've watched several versions of Frankenstein as a movie. I'd always felt them to be campy and trivial. I chose to listen to the book to see, if perhaps, there were more "teeth" to the novel itself. What a pleasant surprise for me! The novel itself portrays the monster with so much more dignity and nuance than the movies I've watched over the years. The narration was mostly wonderful. There were some moments that I longed for a change in character voice. Those moments tended to slip away when I refocused on the story. If you also were never 'required' to read Shelley's Frankenstein while a student, do yourself a favor and listen to it now. You won't regret it!
