Amazing Story

I've enjoyed every one of Kristin Hannah's books but this one is the best of the best. The story leads you down a path from which there is no turning back.

Every morning and evening, Zoe Walker takes the same route to the train station, waits at a certain place on the platform, finds her favorite spot in the car, never suspecting that someone is watching her. It all starts with a classified ad. During her commute home one night, while glancing through her local paper, Zoe sees her own face staring back at her - a grainy photo along with a phone number and a listing for a website called FindTheOne.com.

Hooked on Kristin Hannah
Revisado: 10-14-15
I've been on a mission to listen to all of Kristin's books. Although Distant Shores is not as captivating as some her other books, it is a good story about finding yourself and your passion. I could certainly relate to losing oneself to the passage of time.

Meredith and Nina Whitson are as different as sisters can be. One stayed at home to raise her children and manage the family apple orchard; the other followed a dream and traveled the world to become a famous photojournalist. But when their beloved father falls ill, Meredith and Nina find themselves together again, standing alongside their cold, disapproving mother, Anya, who even now, offers no comfort to her daughters.

Would you consider the audio edition of Winter Garden to be better than the print version?
I have not read the print version but after listening to the audio version and the incredible performance by Susan Ericksen, I can't imagine getting the same emotional response from print.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Winter Garden?
That "a ha" moment when Nina and Merideth connect the dots..... no spoiler alert here.
Which scene was your favorite?
The reunion
Who was the most memorable character of Winter Garden and why?
Mama
Any additional comments?
Kristin Hannah has become one of my favorite authors. Each of her stories leaves me spell bound. I laugh, I cry and become so caught up in the story I feel as I'm living it. I first listened to "The Nightengale" thinking this has to be her best work. Then, "Firefly Lane" and "Fly Away" and realized these are as good or better. I was almost afraid to listen to "Winter Garden", fearing it would disappoint in light of the others but no, it was as good or better.

Nick O'Malley has come home from Vietnam but with more questions than answers. His unit, the 173rd Airborne, had orders to close the port of Cam Pha, which should have crippled supply lines and might have ended the war. Instead, just before Nick transferred out, the orders were cancelled. Nick later learns his entire unit was then dropped in behind enemy lines and wiped out. A mistake? Or something darker?

Scratching my head
Revisado: 01-28-15
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Probably not. The story continuity doesn't work. Nick is shipped home before he is deployed to Vietnam but when he goes to investigate his story he is familiar with his surroundings. Jack, who also has never been there, seems to be a local expert. Right down to knowing the language. The story is set in the 1960's but yet they use digital cameras. Really?
If you’ve listened to books by Richard Murphy and David Niall Wilson before, how does this one compare?
Have not
Would you be willing to try another one of Gene Blake’s performances?
No, it's like listening to Columbo trying to narrate a story. Terribly irritating.
Do you think The Blackguards needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Please no!
Any additional comments?
This story had potential to be riveting but, between the poor performance and the lack of attention to detail, it falls flat on it's face.

Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s two previous novels—lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority.

When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband has gone off by himself for a few days - as he has done before - and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home. But as Strike investigates, he discovers that Quine's disappearance is no coincidence. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were published, it would ruin lives - meaning that almost everyone in his life would have motives to silence him.

Warning

Any additional comments?
Warning: Do not listen to this audio book while driving or operating heavy machinery as it may cause drowsiness and possible unexpected periods of deep sleep. On the up side, it is more effective than Lunista. The elements for a good story are all there but this ship refuses to leave the harbor.

Richard Papen had never been to New England before his 19th year. Then he arrived at Hampeden College and quickly became seduced by the sweet, dark rhythms of campus life—in particular by an elite group of five students, Greek scholars, worldly, self-assured, and at first glance, highly unapproachable. Yet as Richard was accepted and drawn into their inner circle, he learned a terrifying secret that bound them to one another...a secret about an incident in the woods in the dead of night where an ancient rite was brough to brutal life...and lead to a gruesome death.

Depressing
Revisado: 12-14-13
Any additional comments?
Although the story line is captivating, the overall timber of the story is dark and depressing. This is not a "feel good" story by any means. Alcoholism seems to be the driving force, followed by guilt, despair and lies. I finished the book feeling horrible that 5 peoples lives could be this miserable and hoping this story wasn't a reflection of the author's own life.

The wickedest, most wonderful science fiction story ever created in our - or any - time. Anything can begin at a party in California - and everything does in this bold masterwork by a grand master of science fiction. When four supremely sensual and unspeakably cerebral humans - two male, two female - find themselves under attack from aliens who want their awesome quantum breakthrough, they take to the skies - and zoom into the cosmos on a rocket roller-coaster ride of adventure, danger, ecstasy, and peril.

I made it through a couple hours of listening then had to abandon the book. It was a lot of inane babbling between the characters with a story line that falls flat on its proverbial face.
