Interesting plot, terrible reader

Revisado: 04-02-25

Plot had interesting twists. But fairly easy to figure out.
Book would have been an enjoyable read. The overly dramatic style of the reader was a distraction not an asset to the story. Made the entire book seem childish and shallow.

Trite story interesting twist.,

Revisado: 03-17-25

Portrayal of a supposedly intelligent woman making the same stupid mistake over and over. I’ll never read or buy another Friedia Mafadden book.

Could have been a wonderful book

Revisado: 01-31-25

I liked the story line. The role of the man was sweet and kind. The portrayal of the woman, the main character, was trite and stereotypical. Girls growing up in the 1960’s, while in the shadow of their Mother’s generational morals and aspirations, broke out of that mold. To portray a woman filled with vocational aspirations as indecisive, guilt ridden and pathetic is a disservice to all of us who grew up in the 1960’s. It is not a true picture of the women coming of age in those turbulent times. I usually don’t think about the gender of an author but after finishing this book I had to look in order to validate my suspicion that Boo Walker is a man. His version of women is far from the truth.

Irish rebel, American patriot

Revisado: 09-24-24

The history of the Irish struggle for independence from England and the struggle for acceptance in America. Well written, excellent performance which holds the readers focus from start to finish.

Not the Nora Roberts I remember

Revisado: 03-14-24

Never remember reading a ‘steamy’ Nora Robert’s book. It was one long sexy scene after another. I skipped parts thinking the story would evolve into something worthwhile. It didn’t.
Story was shallow, unbelievable and trite. Reader was bad, read too fast with inconsistent voices. Added nothing to redeem the book. Wasted a credit on this one.

Strange story hard to follow

Revisado: 01-28-24

Started off okay but quickly devolved onto some crazy tangent. I kept thinking I must have missed a chapter or two. I went back te listened to several chapters and could not catch the thread of the story again. Lots of dream
sequences or imagination sequences. Not worth my time to listen.

Good perspective on a serious subject

Revisado: 01-19-24

Liked the subject matter and the way abusers and abused were portrayed. Good insights. Hopfully someone listening will be helped by the information presented.
Did NOT like the narrator. The screechy little girl voices detracted from the seriousness of the subject matter

Hallmark Movie, audio only

Revisado: 09-01-23

The largest cast of whining characters of which I have ever read. Simpering, self indulgent people, then an altruistic ending. Never heard of Boo Walker before this book, won’t ever pay for another.

Music distracting story unbelievable

Revisado: 07-18-23

While the story was interesting and but not quite believable, I found the voice on the musical tracks scratchy and unpleasant. Perhaps that was intentional in order to further the reader’s conflicted feelings the story evoked.
Had I known the same sex marriage/parenthood agenda would be pitted against an evangelical Christian viewpoint I would not have purchased the book. In my thinking, same sex marriage/ parenthood is no less valid than evangelical
Christian beliefs.

Less than average all around.

Revisado: 05-28-21

Neither a mystery nor exciting story line. I kept guessing the next move long before it was presented. I kept waiting for a twist, there was none.
As if the story and characters were not boring enough, reader delivered this book in a perfect monotone with absolutely no vocal affect.
I was completing a repetitive task and used the book as background noise. Also set the sleep timer one night when I couldn’t fall asleep, I didn’t hear it fade away after 15 min. I was already sleeping.
