The writing and narration were perfect. I just finished listening and I am amazed by Mr. Brown’s creativity, use of language, and ability to draw me into an extraordinary story. Thank you.

I don't understand the good reviews

Revisado: 04-27-24

I was roped in by all the good reviews. The characters were vapid and ridiculous in their behavior. Wendy’s sociopathic behavior is over the top. She made too many mistakes to take her actions seriously. The book needs some serious editing as well as the descriptions left me scratching my head wondering why the bathtub water had to be probably foggy as well. Last one I listen too. There are too many good writers out there to continue to waste my time.

Best book I’ve listened to in years

Revisado: 03-19-24

The historically accurate fictional account of Frankie brought me to tears so often I lost count. I had no idea that these women were ignored by both the American people and the Veterans.

Thank you for writing this story. It moved me like no other. I was 14 when Frankie first went there. I protested in 1969 as a college freshman. But I didn’t really understand what was happening. Now I know and without this book I would not have.

Thank you.

If it wasn’t for Scott Brick

Revisado: 01-12-24

I would never have completed this book if it wasn’t for Scott Brick. The book was poorly edited and consequently confusing and sometimes convoluted. The characters didn’t mesh, even at the end. The beginning was very slow, jumping around timelines without much coherence. I think the story was basically good but the editor dropped the ball.

Great new series

Action packed and narrator is a dream. Never a dull moment. Thoroughly enjoyable! Looking forward to the next one.

Wonderful writing and narration

Revisado: 12-19-23

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was unaware of the indentured Indians that worked and lived in Fiji in the early 1900’s. Learned a lot while I listened.

What a bunch of drivel

Revisado: 11-25-23

What annoyed me the most is court room scenes. Especially after the continuance where suddenly she is being tried for two murders. Absurd. Not even close to reality. I listened to the whole thing because I wanted to see where all the rave reviews came from. I guess people will believe anything. Don’t waste your time.

I devoured this

Revisado: 11-24-23

I had never heard of Joyce Maynard so I did not have any expectations. From the first words of this amazing novel I was hooked. What a treasure. Thank you for writing this.

I slogged through this hoping it would get better

Revisado: 11-10-23

I kept hoping and hoping it would get better while I listened to the angst ridden inner dialogue of the two main characters. But it didn’t. I am disappointed because Ruth Ware’s The Woman in Cabin 10 was a really good book. I had a lot of trouble figuring out most of the characters’ motivations in this one . Judge the book yourself. I wasn’t impressed.

Narrating texts and posts doesn’t work well

Revisado: 10-01-23

I love all of Cormoran Strike books, however listening to posts and texts being read to me is quite boring and confusing. I know that they are a very important part of the story but they should have considered modifying them somehow before reading exactly what had been written. Other than that the story is marvelous with lots of interesting characters.
