What definitely didn't happen to most of us that time we were in Phoebe's situation...

I really liked the character growth. In the beginning I disliked the characters, but every one of them grew on me as they grew as people.

Perfection. No notes.

Revisado: 02-01-25

The first big plot twist seemed a bit contrived, but after the way the second plot twist wrapped it up, I no longer minded it. All of the characters are charming and loveable. The narration was great. It has some House in the Cerulean Sea vibes but is its own story of finding a sense of belonging. Lighthearted, funny. One spicy scene and great romantic tension so that you enjoy it but it doesn't take over the story and greater themes.

Enjoyable story, but disappointing narration

Revisado: 03-13-23

This is a book I probably would have enjoyed more as a read than a listen. For being on the long side, it still feels like a quick, light-hearted read. I liked the idea of there being a diary with events planned for the year to help someone learn to appreciate and enjoy life. Unfortunately, I thought the narration took away from the story and could have been better. Overall, perhaps not as profound as it could have been (though I don't know to what extent that was the author's intention anyway), but I was entertained. And I did consider ways that maybe I could plan for some small slices of joy in life like in the book.

Cute easy read

Revisado: 08-02-21

A cute summer read for when you want something light and entertaining. My favorite part was the relatable protagonist who succeeds while also truly understanding the everyday struggles with anxiety, mental health, productivity and finding self-confidence.

A good listen full of information

Revisado: 04-26-20

There are definitely some umms here and there, but that is to be expected. This isn't a normal audiobook; it's a professor being recorded as he gives lectures. Overall, he presented well and has a great speaking voice. Without having much knowledge of the subject prior, I can say that I learned a lot and really enjoyed the listen. This is a class I would have liked to attend. I feel that the professor is knowledge and understands the material. I have zero complaints about this listen.

Meh, but short at least

Revisado: 02-26-19

The narration is fast. The story is just not that exciting, and it doesn't draw you in or make you care much about the characters. The writing style is probably fine for children, but as an adult, I was not a fan. I don't want to totally trash the story. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't stellar and didn't hold my interest well throughout, though I did manage to finish listening while doing other work.

Great, but sadly abridged

Revisado: 09-24-18

I love, love, love that this is narrated by Megan Follows. No voice but hers will ever be the Anne in my head. Sadly it is an abridged version, which I didn't realize before I purchased. I wish Megan Follows would have narrated the full-length books.

Always a favorite!

Revisado: 09-21-18

Anne of Green Gables has always been a favorite story of mine since childhood. I revisit it often. Something about this book always makes me feel comforted.

The narrator is not my favorite, and perhaps that is because I have heard a different narrator do a marvelous job. But even so, it did not take much away from the listening experience.

Not one of the better Austen books

Revisado: 07-10-18

I like the more popular Austen novels, like Pride & Prejudice of course, but this one is not my favorite. I finished it, but reluctantly, because I want to be able to say that I have read all of Austen's works. The plot is not exciting and the characters aren't as engaging as one would hope. Not terrible, but not my favorite.

A classic for young and old

Revisado: 10-03-16

A family friend gave me a copy of this book as a child, and I remember loving it then. After listening to it again as a adult, I am still enthralled. This is not just a children's book about rabbits. Adams fully developed his rabbit characters, giving them their own unique characteristics, gifts, lapine language and even mythology and epic heroes. This is a book that I will share with my future children. The narrator is also wonderful, and of course, British. I was actually impressed by how fluidly and easily he pronounced the invented lapine language throughout the reading. Love it!
