Best book of the series

Revisado: 03-05-25

Rachel Joyce outdid herself with this novel. Her presentation of the complexities of Maureen’s life and her narration is compelling that it felt like I was in Maureen’s brain. Superb writing.

Kept me engaged

Revisado: 07-10-23

I didn’t want to stop listening to the audio of this book. The story was engaging and while I thought I had figured out some things, I didn’t know the full story until near the end. Clever concept and story line. Hope this writer comes out with another book.

Love this series

Revisado: 05-21-23

I love this series and the Tradd St series. I did think the plot was a bit slow on this one.

Read this before you or a loved one diets!

Revisado: 08-29-19

There is so much about weight loss, dieting, obesity that we think we know. However, Traci Mann and her students have looked at all of the studies that claim to tell us what we think we know -- and have found something different. This book is a must read if you think you or someone you know needs to go on a diet and lose weight. Not only does Traci blast away some of the myths that pervade our culture, but she also gives very good practical tips to help reign in undesired eating habits. She also points out all the ways that the "being overweight is unhealthy for you" message.

And she is human, very, very human. She is not a person who has figured everything out and is living the perfect life. She is someone like me, who struggles sometimes. She has data. She has life experience. And she makes it all very interesting to listen to.

Well worth the listen

Revisado: 11-10-17

The outcome of the story was a complete surprise in every way, totally unexpected. Well written and very well performed. I may need to listen a second time to see if there were hints I missed the first time.

Tried to listen...but gave up

Revisado: 06-30-16

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I tried to listen to this book several times, but could only get a few chapters in. The narrator's portrayal of Frank irritated my ears. Perhaps I would have enjoyed this book in a written version.

Honest and joyful memoir

Revisado: 03-03-13

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I didn't know much about Jane Lynch except for her portrayal of the aggressive lawyer on The "L" Word and the competitive but complicated coach in Glee. After hearing her life story, I now know her as a funny, honest, reflective individual. She is candid about her addiction to alcohol, the journey she has taken to get to where she is now, and the many "happy" accidents that have brought her so far along. Her bright, positive outlook is contagious and refreshing. I was sorry when my life got in the way of hearing about hers. This was a true joy to listen to, and I was sorry when the story ended. I could have listened for hours longer.

Interesting snapshot into another time and life

Revisado: 03-03-13

What did you like best about Up from Orchard Street? What did you like least?

The author provides a peek into a world far removed from middle class America in the 21st century. It is worth listening to for the keen insight it provdes into life inside NewYork tenements through the eyes of a young girl. The story moves slowly, however, and I would have enjoyed it much more if it were considerably shorter.

Great story with unexpected twist

Revisado: 02-14-13

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Secret Keeper?

This was a really good story that became great when a completely unexpected twist was added to it. Cleverly crafted, and well narrated.
