Such a shame

Revisado: 01-28-23

The story was great! captured my attention right away. Some of the parts were unbelievable to the point that they didn't make sense. I could handle that since this is fiction. The part I couldn't handle was the pervasive cursing. Mind you, I am not a prude, but it was a LOT! Some of it was understandable, but a lot didn't even come off as it the character would have used those words in the circumstances. That made it feel contrived, kind of like a movie that throws in the language to get a certain rating. If not for the language, I would have given 5 stars.

Really Good Story

Revisado: 01-04-23

I really liked the story. Lots of twists and turns. what I didn't like was the swearing. Some may have been necessary, but some seemed gratuitous. Good authors do not have to rely on that kind of verbiage.

A Bit Tedious

Revisado: 11-12-22

It started out great. Overall it got bogged down with minute details, that didn't really move the story forward. I do like this author, but this time the story was weighted down with minutiae.

Hard to get into

Revisado: 07-23-22

This book was a real struggle to get into. The British accent of the narrator was hard to hear. The story took way too long to really get moving. so many times, I wanted to quit. The last 2 hours were the best, but I felt the end left untied up variable. I wouldn't recommend.

Shaking My Head

Revisado: 03-27-22

I listened to the whole book. it was a boring story. I should have stopped, but we'll I didn't. There truly was not much substance to it. However, it was at least a clean read.

Captivating!

Revisado: 10-08-17

This was my first book by Jodi Picoult and I loved it. The story made me take a deep look inside myself at how I feel about capital punishment. The author got my attention from the very start and held it until the very end. I loved the multi-person narration, which was part of the intrigue. Is it a must read? No Will you be glad you read it? Yes!

Introspective

Revisado: 10-08-17

I love that this was read by the author. The book is hard hitting in that you must look deep inside yourself to see what you have allowed to alter your life. It was a great listen, albeit hard when your own faults are presented in the mirror. I highly recommend.

Definitely a disappointment!

Revisado: 09-18-17

I absolutely love Sue Grafton's Alphabet series! Y disappointed. First, lets get to the good part. Judy Kaye once again gave a brilliant performance! I love her style of narration. Now on to the actual book. The story was disjointed. It made me wonder if Sue Grafton is trying to tie up all the loose ends as the series comes to the end. The other thing struck me in this book was there was a lot more profanity than in the previous books. When an author resorts to that much profanity it shows me that they either do not have a firm grasp of the English language, or they have run out of idea. I think the latter is true in this case. I will still listen to Z when it comes out, however I hope there is a better storyline and a that she takes the profanity down about 6 notches.

Yikes!

Revisado: 09-18-17

Upfront, I want you to know that I only listened to just over an hour of the book. I tried really hard to get into it, but I didn't find anything captivating. The narration was so slow and quiet. I actually fell asleep and had to go back to listen again. The story did not captivate me at all. I kept thinking what is the author trying to communicate. I've never read a book by Kristin Hannan before and maybe it is just not my cup of tea. Honestly, I would give it lower stars except I didn't complete the book. Maybe it got better, but I will never know.

Mixed bag of tricks

Revisado: 08-25-17

The book was ok. The story was actually more for a teen reader. I finished it anyway. It was predictable. some of the characters were vibrant, while others were throw always. The narration was very good at times and irritating at others. There were times when the shrill of her voice cuts right through you. Other times were laughable, like when she did the voice of the mom. Other voices were quite pleasant. I found the overall book odd. There were times when I couldn't wait to hear more, then it would drag. In the end, there were lose ends that never quite got tied up in a neat little bow.
