Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She’s an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He’s attractive, troubling, young—young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? In this compulsively readable, brilliantly constructed novel, two competing narratives unspool, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day – partner, parent, creator, muse – and the truths every performance masks, especially from those who think they know us most intimately.

Columnist Anna Appleby has left her love life behind after a painful divorce. Who needs a man when she has two kids, a cat, and uncontested control of the TV remote? Besides, she’d rather be single than subject herself to the hell of online dating. But her office rival is vying for her column, and no column means no stable source of income. In a desperate attempt to keep her job, Anna finds herself pitching a unique angle: seven dates, all found offline, chosen by her children.

Story was entertaining and not over the top. Also felt the narrator was really good.

Justin has a curse, and thanks to a Reddit thread, it's now all over the internet. Every woman he dates goes on to find their soul mate the second they break up. When a woman slides into his DMs with the same problem, they come up with a plan: They'll date each other and break up. Their curses will cancel each other’s out, and they’ll both go on to find the love of their lives. It’s a bonkers idea… and it just might work.

Beyond predictable. Irritating narration (especially male character).
Revisado: 06-04-24
One of the most predictable and irritating stories I’ve listened to. Unfortunately I have a problem quitting any audio book once I get a majority of the way through, but I wish I did on this one. It was about 5 hours too long and got worse as the story advanced.

Worst book ever!
Revisado: 07-19-19
How could Koontz (and apparently others!) consider this to be his best. If so, I’ll stay away from all of his books from now on. Agonizingly bad. I wanted to stop listening about 5 hours in but I mistakenly thought it HAD to get better. It didn’t.

This was a coming together of all things bad. The story was really bad, but then put together with some of the most irritating narration I’ve ever heard it became maybe the worst audio book experience I’ve ever had. Stay away!!

This book is terrible!
Revisado: 02-09-18
Not only is the book terrible, but it is agonizingly long at something over 42 hours. I always have trouble stopping mid-way through a book and I just assumed it would get better...after all it is Steven King and I’d heard a lot about the book. Never got better and I wasted 42+ hours listening to it. Only positive is the narrator who is the best I’ve heard.

Half of the story good, other half terrible!
Revisado: 11-26-17
There are two narrators and I don't know which was which, but whoever did the "Avery" half of the book is terrible! The "Mae" or "Will Foss" narrator was very good and so that half of the story I enjoyed listening to. The "Avery" narrator is so over the top that it is irritating to listen to. I found myself actually wishing the "Avery" alternating chapters would be over and even contemplated fast forwarding through them. I can't believe an author could write half a book well and the other half badly, so have to attribute it to the narrator. This is a book that likely would be good to read, but to listen for half of the 14 hours to the one narrator makes it not worth it!

In the most famous scandal of sports history, eight Chicago White Sox players - including Shoeless Joe Jackson - agreed to throw the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for the promise of $20,000 each from gamblers reportedly working for New York mobster Arnold Rothstein. Heavily favored, Chicago lost the Series five games to three. Although rumors of a fix flew while the series was being played, they were largely disregarded by players and the public at large.

Very Disappointing!
Revisado: 09-30-16
I am a huge baseball fan and a fan of the history of baseball. I assumed this book would be right down my alley.
However, right from the beginning it was hugely disappointing. First, there is something irritating about the narrator. Second, there is way too much backstory having to do with gambling and fixing of games way, way before the 1919 season. I get it, you don't need to spend hours on it. Way too much minutia and names galore that make it confusing and boring. Third, even the story of the White (Black) Sox is so overly detailed and minutia packed that it dragged. I was actually happy when it was done! Not worth the 10+ hours!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 633
From the acclaimed Civil War historian, a brilliant new history–the most intimate and richly readable account we have had–of the climactic three-day battle of Gettysburg (July 1–3, 1863), which draws the reader into the heat, smoke, and grime of Gettysburg alongside the ordinary soldier, and depicts the combination of personalities and circumstances that produced the greatest battle of the Civil War, and one of the greatest in human history.

Agonizingly boring performance
Revisado: 02-16-16
What disappointed you about Gettysburg: The Last Invasion?
I was a history major in college and love the Civil War in particular. The narration of Ken Burns' Civil War was superb and had me engrossed from episode one until the conclusion. This book is the exact opposite. The beginning chapters set the stage for the battle, but I could not even make it through because the narrator is the worst. Super boring and monotone!
How did the narrator detract from the book?
It almost seemed as though someone told the narrator to not read too fast, so we went the other extreme! He was monotone and slow. He put me to sleep.
Any additional comments?
PASS. You probably will not be able to make it through hours and hours of this narrator to get to the part of the story you wanted to learn about in the first place!
