Too unbelieveable

Revisado: 06-27-19

Well I can't say I know much about Southern life...but a mother leaves the family, siblings leave then dad leaves and she survives. The story is slow moving, and you've got a girl who probably knows little about hygiene and femininity but 2 boys want to date her. The story is too slow, too unrealistic and I'm really not sure what the point of the story was. Not something I would recommend as I couldn't relate at all to this story, but maybe that's just me.

Even I didn't know that!

Revisado: 05-30-19

I loved this book! There were so many things about drugs that I didn't know..and I was a pharmacist! If only History of Pharmacy 101 had been this good! It's absolutely a must read...and I did several times. It's absolutely fabulous and I highly recommend it to everyone whether you have an interest in history or medication or both. It's a 5-star read all the way.

Just couldn't get into it.

Revisado: 01-29-19

I started listening to this, probably with too high expectations. Dennis Quaid's voice is just to hard to listen to for a long period of time, and it's just awful when he's trying to do a female part. I tried several attempts to listen to it, but just couldn't follow it....

Yuck!

Revisado: 06-26-17

Really didn't like this book. It was vulgar and if you have to depend on dropping the f* bomb for every other word, your writing skills are seriously lacking. Listened to it as long as I could stand then returned it.

Get the abridged version

Revisado: 02-11-17

The story started off well. A good descriptive narrative puts the listener at the scene. Poor Theo loses his mother, his grandparents don't really want him and his father is a deadbeat. How unlucky can a guy get? The disasters keep on coming..seriously?? Then there is the Russian influence (accents well done) but another twist to the plot. I kept listening to see what would happen next....sometimes not much, as there were thoughts, more description and more description and more thoughts.....it would have been a much better book if it were half the length. The ending was a bit weak, I felt the ends weren't tied up to my satisfaction and possibly if there was some deep insightful meaning, I missed it. ... unless it's "life sucks and then we die."

Psycho thriller

Revisado: 10-28-16

I really liked this book, but something is wrong with this just too perfect guy. ..I've dated guys like this, so my antenna was up! and sure enough he was a bit too perfect...It was a bit far fetched but none-the-less interesting. Makes for a good read on quiet day. Then you get to wondering, "do I have any friends like this? of could someone I know be in this position?" I did "creep me out". so the book did it's job.

Soporific

If you need to fall asleep, listen to this. The idea of an updated version of Kind Lear is a good one as this still happens in modern day society, but this version just didn't do it for me...

Sleep-a-more Row

Revisado: 05-04-14

Well perhaps being familiar with testimentary capacity and undue influence, I was really looking forward to this book. The plot was set fairly early as weathly man dies and does not leave fortune to family....simple. Well it really didn't get too much more complex than that and of course the family were made to look like money-grabbing selfish children with an exaggerated sense of self entitlement. Really? The authour couldn't have added a few unexpected twists? Things got a bit better by the last few chapters but it was a lot to read throught without succuming to sleep...and that southern drawl, while necessary I suppose to the setting was really annoying. It was a book that I thought had alot of potential to be great but ended up being ...sleep inducing.

The Titanic Strikes Again

Revisado: 01-18-12

In 1912, 1500 people lost their lives when the ship sunk, mostly due to hypothermia in the seas of the North Atlantic. Now listeners of this story of the survivors, are at risk of a slower death...by boredom! The way the story is stretched out is akin to saying to an author,
"Here is the basic story of Cinderella. Now stretch it into a
10 -volume set!".
I think the premise is interesting, as you wonder what happened years later to people who have survived a disaster. How did it affect them? How did they cope? But the author has dragged some simple stories on..and on...and on..
I do find it quite useful however, when it put my earphones in at night, as generally, when I start listening to the story, I'm asleep within 10 minutes.

G is for Good

Revisado: 01-11-12

This is the first book of her series that I read, and like her style and story so much I've read to more of her books. Not disappointed! They are comically told stories spun around a mystery, so you get both. I will read more of her writings as I enjoyed this one so much.
