Could not stop listening

I ignored my family and finished this book in about four days. This Robert Galbraith fella sure does know how to write a good book.

Is there no editor available?

Revisado: 09-26-23

I very much dislike leaving bad reviews because I think that it's an enormous accomplishment just to write a book, but I am so tired of buying these books that are not worthy of the great reviews. I usually just return them, but Audible will not let me return this one, so now I'm irritated. It's bad. Not a horrible story, but the writing is bad. Needs major editing. I hope the author never sees this.

Another great one!

You’ll love this book if you’re a fan of Stephen King. If you are offended by the suggestion that vaccines are good and Trump is bad then I doubt Mr. King wrote this book for you.

Is this book for you?

Have you ever worked with others? Gone to a store? Interacted with other human beings? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then this book is for you!

Give it some time!

Revisado: 10-06-15

I started and stopped this book twice before I finally made myself listen past the first couple hours. It's wonderful. There's no action or adventure or cliffhangers - it's just a beautifully written book about a family. Jane Smiley writes the heck out of these characters and they are each different and fascinating in their own way.

I love the way Lorelei King doesn't "over narrate" and still manages to give distinct voice to each character. Bravo!

Great work by a girl from my hometown.

I knew nothing about Roxane Gay when I got this book. As I listened, I kept thinking how amazing it was that she was putting into words many of my own opinions. Then I realized she was raised in conservative Omaha and managed to become a liberal feminist just like myself.

I much prefer her general opinion pieces rather than the critiques of other work (even though I was happy to find I am not the only person on the planet to not adore Girls), but a great book overall.

Thanks, Amy!

This book felt very honest. I loved how she complained throughout the entire thing about how hard it is to write a book. I'm glad she did and I hope she's proud of herself.

communists will hate this book

Revisado: 09-23-14

(Don't worry, you don't need to re-listen to the first two books before you commit to this one.)

Those of you who fall more to the right politically may have a tough time with some of this book (communists, racists and chauvinists will HATE it), but don't worry, Mr. Follett has strategically placed sex scenes throughout the book to distract you from his wonderful liberal agenda.

Enjoy!!

This one felt forced

Revisado: 07-13-14

I gotta say that I'm a little disappointed with this one. I've loved them all, but this one felt forced. I'm sure Diana is under a lot of pressure to continue this wonderful series, but I think she's burnt out. Of course, if you've read the other seven books then you must get this one, but it may fall a little short of expectations.
