Same old same old but a bit worse

Revisado: 03-09-25

The performance was good. The story had many moments deserving an eye roll. I'm getting sick and tired of silly females and their inner dialog.

Entertaining enoigh

Revisado: 02-03-25

The usual protagonist who's as dumb as a doorknob and does a lot of stupid things "against her better judgement" or chooses to justify weird actions by dumbest excuses.. I found myself rolling my eyes more than just a few times. That being said, the twist was unexpected and not too otp. Voice acting good. Light entertainment, good to listen to while cleaning or jogging.

Whatever happened to good writers??

Revisado: 12-12-24

What did i just waste hours of my life on? Forced humor, forced dialog....thank thank god it was free. I downloaded because i like Glenn Powell - but then again this is perfect for a larger than life American dude he often plays. Skip.

An overall entertaining crime novel

Revisado: 12-03-24

Too much of the "inner voice." It annoyed me! And the narrator Lucy is too much like Lauralei from Gilmore Girls with her sometimes OTP HUMOR. Other than that, an overall entertaining book. GOOD NARRATION

Great narration

Revisado: 08-30-24

The characters are well drawn and they are brought to life by great narration. The ending was a disappointment on many levels but I can't go into details as not to give any spoilers. Also, the tying of the loose ends was a bit too neat and unrealistic. But of course a modern novel has to end on a super positive note regardless of how much it may hurt the credibility of the story.

Lovely turns of phrases

What's there to say? It's Austen, the word wizard. I enjoyed it a lot. A very romantic story, told with feeling and understanding. A most agreeable read^^

Glad the "good doctor" doesn't really exist

Revisado: 04-29-24

Exasperated! That's how I felt listening to this novella. The medical intern must be the stupidest person alive. The attempt to make her into some kind of medical Bridget Jones did not work out. It's impossible to imagine somebody as brainless as her could ever finish high school, let alone get into medical school. And if that is possible, i'm never going to see a doctor. Ever. And the narrator has this annoying, angry, sarcastic way of narrating. I am dumb, too, for having wasted six hours of my life on this. Oh, and the love story? She falls for the biggest a-hole imaginable. Urgh!

A Didactic Drivel Full of Unlikable and Unbelievable Characters

Revisado: 01-27-24

Why many readers like this book is a mystery. Whatever happened to SHOW rather than TELL, PONTIFICATE, and PREACH. An infinite number of times I literally yelled at Elizabeth Zoey, our unlikable and unbelievable heroine: "shut up or say something normal rather than a full lesson on female oppression, lack of diversity, denial of ANY differences between sexes. Set in the 1950s and 1960s, the book themes are half a century too late to be relevant. The struggle for equality has been well-documented in both fiction and non-fiction. Nothing fresh and new here. Its obvious didactic purpose (are we in a communist country? ) is to perpetuate the far-left idea that all white men are ruthless brutes, all religious people are greedy sexual predators, all women except our heroine helpless and hapless victims. At the time when we've already had a black president, women in Space, women making it big in business, politics, entertainment: smart and hardworking women, not the whiney, forever-a - victim types. Don't start me on the omniscient dog. It just doesn't work. The child, Mad, reads a book about cannibalism at the age of 4. And we are to applaud to this?! There are a couple of characters whose purpose is to prove this book is not 100% biased. Maybe only 99.9%. Not enough. Let it be known that I am a highly successful university professor, a woman, an immigrant, a feminist, and an atheist. But I DO believe in TRUE diversity, unlike the author who doctored this drivel.

Satisfying

Overall, entertaining and well- narrated. I like Joy Ellis even if she plots are highly predictable .

Interesting and uplifting

Revisado: 11-11-23

Although, I'm not very religious, I really enjoyed this book. It is not overly preachy. The story is interesting, the characters are complex, and I found myself weeping at times, and reaching for my journal to write certain beautifully turned-out sentences.
