Sigh

Revisado: 07-09-23

For a few years, I was commuting from Napa Valley California to the Pacific Northwest. I listen to a lot of audiobooks for those years. I have enjoyed Kristin Hannah‘s books in the past so I thought I would give this one a try. I like her writing style. I’ll say, though that this one felt a little bit like a upgraded harlequin romance. Everyone in it seems to be rich beautiful and overcome the wrong is done to them in their younger days. It was a little too perfect.

some problems

Revisado: 02-13-19

I had high hopes for this series. I rather like the women, but besides the fact that they are all gorgeous and so well educated in their field the ideas are getting a bit close to the jump the shark phase. First of all, I don't like that Myra sounds more like an 80 year old rather than the 60+ year old she is supposed to be. I'm also having trouble with Jack being such a boy scout cop, and yet he breaks and enters with abandon. Trying to decide whether to give it one more go or return the rest in the series...

I love John Grisham. I did not like the narrator for this book. Way to breathy, Marilyn Monroe style. I finally made it through the book by turning the speed up to 1.5. I'll make a note of this artist and choose carefully. Hope she isn't reading Camino Island

couldn't finish

I wish I could remember who recommended this book to me, so that I could ask them why. I tried my trick of turning up the speed, but when they ended up back in the coffin room, I was done, done done.

I hope I make it through

Revisado: 09-08-15

I'm really just reviewing the narrator here. While he may be a wonderful person, his style of reading is not for me. I have increased the speed the narration to 2X just trying to make it through the book, but still his breathlessness at the end of every sentence distracts me. I hope he is not the narrator of the next book by Baldacci that I just preordered....my mistake in preordering before the name of the narrator was released. I might have to give up and convert the book to my kindle and just read it.

UGH!

Revisado: 06-14-15

I have read many of the Prey books and always enjoyed them. I just started listening to them and I have to say, I'm sorry Mr Ferrone, but the only way I can make it through this great story is to turn the speed up. The voice is so gravelly, sounds like a life lived on cigarettes and booze. Not a judgement, just an observation. I don't picture Lucas as that kind of voice at all. Maybe I've just become too spoiled with Dick Hill. I searched back and found that Mr Ferrone is the same narrator for the entire series, so I guess I'll go back to my ereader to catch up on the others.

An Unlikely Fave!

Revisado: 12-28-12

I was skeptical going into this one. My husband keeps talking about how he is going to "walk across America" once he is retired. It was with that in mind, that I gave this one a listen. And I LOVED IT! It was so good at making me feel like I was walking right alongside Harold and I kept hoping that Queenie would indeed be waiting. This one may be a surprise hit to you too.

Kept Waiting

Revisado: 12-28-12

I had purchased this book a few months back, after reading about it in EW mag. Then after seeing it on so many of the audible editors BEST lists, I moved it up the queue and was anxious to hear what all the raves were about. And I kept waiting. And waiting. I thought it was "okay", but certainly not one of the top 10 this year on my list.

Quiet, but commanding

Revisado: 10-24-11

Found this book listed on several best seller lists and gave it a try. The writing is so well done, I could see the community and feel the southern humidity. The characters are well defined. A satisfying ending as well. Highly recommended.
