Fun, Entertaining Listen

Would you listen to Secrets of Sunbeams again? Why?

Yes! I love a good story, and there's something about listening to it that gives it an entirely different feel than reading the words themselves.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the exploration into the issues of pride and guilt. I really enjoyed how Comer used her characters to display some of the misconceptions, and misunderstandings that we often face when starting relationships.

Which character – as performed by Jae Huff – was your favorite?

My favorite character was definitely Eden. I loved how we got to journey with her through the painful process of letting go of the guilt that she held over her family's deaths. I loved that we learned about the process of compromise in a relationship as well.

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

There definitely times when I didn't want to turn it off, but overall, it wasn't a cliff-hanger book in my opinion, but one that I enjoyed listening to for the time that I had it.

Any additional comments?

I received this recording as a gift from the author. All of the above comments are my own opinions and thoughts.

Full of Depth

Revisado: 10-18-16

I love this story in general. I loved reading it when it first came out and I absolutely loved the plot. I continue to really appreciate Comer's willingness to address issues that are relatable to a Christian's life, the bad and ugly as well as the good. I really appreciated that even though the characters came from completely different perspectives and backgrounds, they each realized that growth needed to occur. I also loved how in this particular story line, healing and change happened gradually, which is way more realistic than resolution is often portrayed in other books.

On top of everything above, I loved being able to listen to it as I drove to work and school everyday.

Gripping Story

Where does Dandelions for Dinner rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Out of 10, this book ranks a solid 8. I love this story, it's one of my favorites of Comer's, but the narrator's style of reading took some getting used to for me. Not bad, just a bit over pronounced.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dandelions for Dinner?

I loved the themes of grace, forgiveness, and the tension of broken trust that ran through this book. In a lot of ways, Comer really hit hard on some issues that many people face, and have to deal with. I love the way that she portrayed the characters' journeys of growth and healing as they faced the consequences of their past actions.

What about Becky Doughty’s performance did you like?

I liked how she did different voices for each character and was able to keep them straight throughout her entire performance. Her reading was clear and easy to follow.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

When the past haunts you, and you feel beaten from all sides, what do you turn to? Or rather Who?

Any additional comments?

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
