Live Life Like Your Dog

Revisado: 03-04-19

*I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for a voluntary and unbiased review.*

I'm a sucker for books with dogs in them, especially Labs.
I went into this book blind and although I found it rather predictable, I enjoyed the story.

If you are looking for a sweet, easy read/listen (featuring an adorable chocolate lab who could teach us all a thing or two), What the Dog Ate is for you!

Great story of love and loss and redemption.

Revisado: 03-24-17

What did you love best about How to Save a Life?

The characters were relatable and "real".
I've seen some people mention the paranormal aspect... I'm not sure that is what I would call it, but I loved that part of the story!
Jo and Evan are two lost souls who find friendship and love in each other, despite all of the obstacles in their way.

What about Ramona Master’s performance did you like?

She was easy to listen to. She used a distinct inflection and tone for each of the characters and it was easy to follow.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I don't want to give anything away, but the house boat made me smile.

A thought provoking, heartwrenching story of love.

What did you love best about The Mason List?

This book was just okay for me... until the last 30 minutes. Then it went from "eh" to "OMG!" I loved seeing The Mason List come to life. I loved the emotion and seeing the characters "wake up".

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Mason List?

My absolute favorite part of the book was seeing Alex put the Mason List into action. I had tears in my eyes as I was driving and listening!

What three words best describe Honey St. Dennis’s performance?

Just okay. Eh.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I didn't have much of a reaction until the very end. Then I felt all the feels! I got teary-eyed. I felt sick to my stomach. And I smiled. It was beautiful.

Any additional comments?

I didn't love the narrator's performance, which may be part of the reason that the beginning of the book didn't really grab and hold my attention. But as I listened, I was able to get past the narration that annoyed me and really listened to the story.

At times ugly, but overall a beautiful story.

Revisado: 01-24-17

If you could sum up All the Ugly and Wonderful Things in three words, what would they be?

Beautiful. Disturbing. Real.

Bernadette fell short of my expectations.

Revisado: 01-24-17

What disappointed you about Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

I just couldn't get into this story. Although there were moments that made me laugh, I found the storyline confusing and not very interesting.

Has Where'd You Go, Bernadette turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, I will still read other books in this genre. I had high hopes for Where'd You Go, Bernadette based on reviews from friends and other booklovers. This book just wasn't for me.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Although the narrator did a great job of providing different voices for each character, I found her voice to be very annoying.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I had high hopes of a light, funny read. Unfortunately, I walked away disappointed.

What did you love best about Jed Had to Die?

Interesting storyline. It had me laughing from start to finish!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved Payton. She was quirky and funny.

Have you listened to any of Amy McFadden’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to her before, but I definitely would again! Great narration!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the friendship between Emma Jo and Payton. Even though they had been apart for 12 years, they picked right up where they left off. True friendships never die!

Any additional comments?

I received a free copy of this audiobook from Audiobook Boom!

This one wasn't a homerun for me.

Revisado: 10-30-16

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Has Single turned you off from other books in this genre?

No. I will still read and listen to books in this genre.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Her voice felt grating.

Rockin!

What made the experience of listening to Rock the Boat the most enjoyable?

Although somewhat predictable story, the narrator was great and the story kept me interested and listening.

What does Jeremy Vore bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Emotion and voice inflections helped me to "feel" what the characters were feeling.

Cute story that just needs a little something more

Revisado: 09-29-16

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I'd consider it Young Adult, and although I do like YA books, this story just didn't have enough "meat" for me.
I think someone looking for a quick, clean, sweet story might enjoy it.

What was most disappointing about Emma Caufield’s story?

It was very predictable, but I just didn't connect with any of the characters. I wanted to know more about Tyler's story and I felt like the characters and storyline needed more development.

What three words best describe Kate van de Goor’s performance?

Thorough. Sweet. Teenage.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I didn't feel much of anything, which is part of the reason that I didn't really enjoy it. I like books that make me feel, that put me through an emotional rollercoaster.
