Love these meditations. They resonate with me as I begin to practice. There is just enough instruction and education to answer the questions my mind brings up. This instills confidence. Thank you.

I’ll recommend this to our bookclub. And I’ll look for more books by Kristan Higgins.

Good story, well written and narrated.

I like his writing and will read the rest of his novels. This book didn’t have humor like The Substitution Order. The story felt serious and tragically real. Characters are well-developed.

So disappointing!

Revisado: 01-20-14

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

Someone on a deserted island with nothing else to read or listen to.

Has The Girls of Atomic City turned you off from other books in this genre?

No. Just those that are as poorly done.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Cassandra Campbell?

Someone who would have learned to properly pronounce the names of the towns she was talking about,

Any additional comments?

This could have been such amazing stuff. I work with people who work or have worked at these plants. It is fascinating stuff! I hope another author will tackle the same subject matter. Then, I hope someone will proof it before it gets released on Audible so that errors in pronunciation that are really quite obvious can be corrected. Overall, it was a snoozefest when I wasn't annoyed and disappointed.

Wishin there were more of this

Revisado: 12-10-13

What did you love best about Wishin' and Hopin'?

This book made me smile, and laugh and reminisce and imagine life in a simpler time. Excellent story, characters, narration. Just fabulous holiday fun!

What other book might you compare Wishin' and Hopin' to and why?

I want more books like this! Reminds me of A Christmas Story. The only book I am reminded of is Littlle Blog on the Prairie. It too was family friendly and a good escape.

Any additional comments?

I loved this. Am sending it to friends in place of a Christmas card! Isn't that a great idea!

Don't spend your credit here.

What disappointed you about The Journal Keeper?

It doesnt translate into spoken word. I was disappointed. It was tedious. I didn't enjoy the narration, the content, the voice. There were snippets of wisdom that made me want to like it, but I found myself fighting to continue to listen. I think I liked the author. I would have liked her more for 5 minutes a week, or a month.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Different genre.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Reading it?

What character would you cut from The Journal Keeper?

I can't say there's a least favorite character, because they are her friends and family. I like her relationship with her mother.

Any additional comments?

This might have been a good written word book. It might have been a fun and charming book to lick up and read a page from time to time, but hours and hours of entries read in no particular order, went from curious, to tedious, to turn it off!

Thrilling

Revisado: 09-30-13

Where does 14 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top ten of several hundred.

What other book might you compare 14 to and why?

In my reaction to the characters, Mr.Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore. For not wanting to put it down, any in the Outlander series, for ability to make me suspend my disbelief in un-reality/fantasy, Hunger Games...

Which character – as performed by Ray Porter – was your favorite?

Tim, or Veek, or Nate! Great job Narrator! I can't choose!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely!

Any additional comments?

Wish there were more to the story.

The worst book I've ever read all the way through

Revisado: 09-15-13

What disappointed you about The Mystery of Mercy Close?

It was not funny,or engaging, but rather dreary and gray all the way through. Not Marian Keyes usual great work.

What was most disappointing about Marian Keyes’s story?

Her characters were not as dimensional, they were flat. The protagonist waa neither sympathetic nor non sympathetic, just pitiable when not boring.I was so disappointed that it was not even nearly as good as her others.

How could the performance have been better?

The performance didn't add anything. Some performers add to the enjoyment. This was a dud.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I am proud of myself for sticking with a really bad book all the way to the end. I have never done that before.

Tedious

Revisado: 06-09-13

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

Not sure how to answer this...

Has Total Control turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, and I have enjoyed other Baldacci books. This one just never connected for me.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Performance was fine

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

Looking at the time left, wondering if it would get any better.

Timely. Learn and listen.

If you could sum up House Rules in three words, what would they be?

Compassionate,complex, compelling.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The mom. A single mom raising two boys, one with special needs, advocating all the time, trying to do her best for her son with special needs. Jodi Pcoult displays the way a good mom loses sight of the forest for the trees, and how this one lost sight of the needs of her other son, herself, and her family as a whole, while focusing with laser precision on what one of her boys needed. I like how very human this mom is portrayed to be, flawed, but likable.

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

The narrators were so good...they never, ever "got in the way" of the story. Great choice of narrators.

Who was the most memorable character of House Rules and why?

Jacob. He is a combination of kids I love in my real life...

Any additional comments?

Fantastic audible, worth 2 credits, but I am glad it was only one!
