Sense of place!

Revisado: 11-15-21

This book took me back in time to the building of the Tennessee River Hydroelectric dams. I grew up near the setting and really felt a sense of place. The author had the dialog, weather, and the historical significance of the changes brought with electricity.

A lot of unhappy people

Revisado: 07-03-19

I had high hopes for "Case Histories" but had to stop half way through. Everyone was grumpy or whiney or pained. I kept wondering if another narrator would give a different tone to the reading, but I think it was the writing.

Fabulous narration

Revisado: 06-19-19

Jane Harris is the perfect narrator for this Scottish story. It was a joy to listen to her various sayings and voices. Her humor was delightful. The story is unlike any I have read: from the perspective of a servant rather than the aristocracy. I really enjoyed the book on Audible.

Another great Liane Moriarty book

Would you consider the audio edition of What Alice Forgot to be better than the print version?

I was advised to read this book years ago, but have just now gotten around to it. The story is wonderful and the performance is very good.

My new favorite

Revisado: 08-04-13

What about Barbara Kingsolver’s performance did you like?

I liked the reading by the author.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the contemporary subject matter and technology. Thank you to Barbara Kingsolver for the research she did to put together this story in a believable way. Besides the science, she talked about scientists in a respectful way. I also liked her story of the family.

Depressing story

Revisado: 07-21-13

What was most disappointing about Gillian Flynn’s story?

The lack of hope.

Do you think Gone Girl needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I would not bother to read a follow up book.

Any additional comments?

These characters were so uknlikable. It made me sad to read "Gone Girl". Several of my friends read it and liked it. They told me to keep reading: it gets better. I wish I had stopped it about a third of the way through.I wil give the auther credit for a very complex story in which a lot of loose ends got tied off.

21st Century Version of Texas History

Revisado: 07-21-13

If you could sum up The Son in three words, what would they be?

I loved the naration by all of the characters. The story was compelling. I have suggested my friends read this book if this is the type of story they like.

What other book might you compare The Son to and why?

Family saga reminds my a bit of "New York the Novel" and "Carribean".

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

Eli's character was my favorite, but I liked the contrast between them all.

Any additional comments?

This was great for a long road trip.
