Happily surprised

Revisado: 04-01-25

I read a LOT and I'm a harsh critic. I didn't expect this book to be as good as it is! Engaging story of dark(ish) fantasy with characters you immediately like—or dislike. I lost 3 hours of sleep last night listening to it to finish it in the wee hours. I'll be recommending this one to everyone I know. Give us more, Kell Woods!

Bravo!

Revisado: 05-25-24

Good for you, Beth. This book is so well written but I expected nothing less. I have learned so much from her Bible studies. She is a woman of God. Bravo for bringing truth to light. I am a staunch republican but I know wrong from right. Thank God there are others who do too.

Fascinating subject

Revisado: 03-22-24

The story captivated me from page one. I’d never heard of a lepers colony in Louisiana and even if half the facts were made up, it was a good read.

Tom Hanks

Good story, well written. I’d listen to a reading of the phone book if Tom Hanks was the narrator.

Too much sadness

Revisado: 01-21-24

I love Lisa See and have read several of her books, which I would give five stars to —each one. But this one was just too sad. Yes, it was well written as all of her books are but The story went from worse to worst, and I just wanted some kind of redemption at the end. Oh, that’s my take on it anyway.

Couldn’t put it down

Revisado: 07-17-23

I Judge a book by how well written it is, and by whether or not I’m still thinking about it the day after the week after the month after I’ve read it. This book I will never forget I highly recommend it. Just in case you’re wondering what to do, spend your credit on this. I think it should be required reading for junior high school and up.

Hard to read

Revisado: 06-29-23

Don’t compare the author, to Charles, Dickens, or Mark Twain. The story left me with PTSD. I kept waiting for something redeeming to happen, but waited in vain. Drug addiction, constant swearing, child abuse, and a completely flawed foster care system. I struggled to finish the book. Go ahead and read David Copperfield, Tom Sawyer, and Huckleberry Finn, and if you’ve not read this book yet, but already bought it, return it.

I wasted a credit on this

Revisado: 02-11-23

Realizing that this book was meant for young adults, I expected trivial high school stuff. But the story was completely juvenile with characters that were unlikable, made horrible decisions, and I was completely suffering through the book till the end. Why I didn’t quit halfway through. I don’t know I guess I’m a glutton for punishment.

Love this series but…

Revisado: 12-12-22

This latest installment was good as all the books are in this series and I had no problem with the narrator and didn’t hesitate to finish it but…too much drama for Georgie and dwelling on the same problem and location for too long. I didn’t like Darcy asking his pregnant wife to get involved in potentially dangerous espionage. Nor Georgie’s putting her baby at risk climbing over banisters and her careless snooping. But then I remind myself, it’s not REAL. Calm down.

Where was Miss Silver!

Revisado: 05-05-22

I did enjoy the book and the story. Very early 20th century and gosh golly I like that frightfully jolly era. I expected miss silver to be the main character but she wasn’t and I’m ok with it. I’ll definitely listen to the next one in the series.
