Same story as Starting Over at Acorn Cottage

Revisado: 03-15-25

I loved Starting over at Acorn Cottage so I bought Fly Me to Moongate Manor. The narrator is wonderful , but the story is a disappointment. Its way to similar to Acorn Cottage. I can pretty much guess how it's going to end.

Boring

Revisado: 11-08-21

Audible has so many wonderful titles and this one sounded so good. Wrong.. It is pretty boring..
I always finish a book. Not this one..

Best reply ever!

At the end of the book, Mckenzie says "I'm think I'm falling apart" and Hunters reply is, "let me hold you together. " OMG.! Do you not love it! The story it has a lot of twists, and surprises and pulls you in right from the beginning with a great narrator. Enjoy!

This book sounded like fun, but I just couldn't listen to anymore beyond the first couple chapters, which is unusual for me. Just not good..

Cute story- didn't like the narrator.

Its a cute story, somewhat similar to Steele Magnolia's. It was a good listen on a quiet afternoon.

This book is very captivating and well written

Revisado: 07-27-18

I truly loved this book. I wish it had gone on but the ending is very well done. When a book makes you feel like you never want it to end is quite an accomplishment. It’s a wow human interest book about a very riveting time. Highly recommended reading.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks to be better than the print version?

The advantage of listening to an audio book is the freedom you have to continue working on a project, work, etc. However, with a book of this type, to be able to see photos of the family, and friends.... where they lived, breathed, and died really helps you identify even more with characters. Having said that, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is by far one of the most moving, warm, fascinating, and interesting books I've read in a long time and highly recommend it to everyone. The narrators Cassandra Campbell and Bahni Turpin did an excellent job and I couldn't stop listening to it. I carried my I-pad from room to room, then to the car because I didn't want to put it down. There have been a few books that I will also get the hard copy from the library to read just because some books need to be held to truly appreciate it's contents.... this is one of those.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks?

The moment that was most heartbreaking, was when Henrietta was in the hospital, near the end of her life, and in so much pain.

What does Cassandra Campbell and Bahni Turpin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

?

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both.

Any additional comments?

The Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks will stay with me for a long time.

Alaska is one of my favorite places in the world but I couldn't get into this book.

Least interesting: The storyline

What about Marguerite Gavin’s performance did you like?

Love her performance, she's a good reader, but the story just wasn't that interesting, and I actually deleted it and didn't finish the book..

Any additional comments?

Thanks anyway.
