Funny, serious, and immensely captivating

Revisado: 03-18-24

Humor in the first part gives way to serious human issues later only possibly resolved by the listener. I adore this book.

Are You OK?

Revisado: 02-29-24

Is everything OK? Most of the dialogue is characters who know that things are not ok and repeatedly ask this question. Thin plot, verbose, repetitive. Morbidly curious about this drivel, Dear Listener, I made it to the end.

Vapid

Revisado: 12-18-23

Nothing happens. I kept listening for the story’s acceleration, but it never got off the ground. If you want to be stuck in a deranged character”s mind, listen to this depressive, hopeless tale.

Not worth it

Revisado: 10-07-23

The hype around this novel is hyperbolic. Too bad I fell for it. Aimed at the instagram - twitter-podcast -dependent youth, this story delivers all the psycho battle & drama they live for. If you are interested in literary fiction, do not waste time on this trite drivel.

Whispering Narrator

Revisado: 09-28-23

I wish I could have listened until the end of this story. The narrator got in my way. She comes to a full stop at the comma, and whispers when no character warrants that effect. I listened, all total, one hour at different intervals; but I could not persevere.

The Narrator Saved It

Revisado: 08-25-23

Had it not been for Meryl Streep, I would not have made it to the end of this tedium. Such boring characters, setting and monologue vex this listener‘s patience. I slept through some of it and had had no desire to backtrack to see what I missed. It did not matter.

Horrid Narrator, Unrealistic Story

Revisado: 07-25-23

The narrator’s speech patterns grate on my nerves with her trendy rising notes at the end of sentences. The author skips over the mother’s formative years so that we get Mary Sunshine Wise Mom. This book is too far from
reality with all the tragedy neatly tied in a bow. Not worth the time.

Wordy

Revisado: 06-20-23

This is a slender story told in narrative flashbacks that tend to make the reader a bit dizzy & confused. Among the

traumas of parental divorces & step siblings & sexual abuse, a child grows up and makes a radical decision concerning her own marriage & children.

Tender Insight

Revisado: 03-14-23

This narrative rewards the reader with hope and understanding for the plight of being human. It opens slowly, but gains momentum as the story moves forward. Looking through the eyes of a young, developmentally challenged hotel maid gives the reader a chance to to feel invisibility and the derision suffered by many workers of “menial” jobs. Truth, however, triumphs, turning The Maid”. Into a must listen.

Disappointing

Revisado: 03-04-23

The plot was predictable and slowly paced until the end when, all at once, a flock of
new characters were thrown at us. Tying up loose ends seemed like an afterthought. And Joe Gunther? Why was he mainly missing? More Joe, please, and less minor characters who make first appearances here and take up too much wandering narrative in this Joe Gunther series.
