Eclectic Reader

Tedious

Revisado: 02-26-18

There are some books that you just want to keep listening to, can't wait to get back to and/or hate when they end. For me, this was just the opposite. I don't like not finishing books so I trudged on through to the end of this one--and it seemed to go on forever. The characters were unlikable. Going back and forth in time was annoying. Predictable ending. Not much here for me to like...

Tedious

Revisado: 06-06-15

I have not read anything by this author before but enjoy a good cozy mystery. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this was not one. The mystery in this story took a back seat to the main character's constant whining of "I've got flu!" More time is spent on her flu, her lack of anyone to help her, her trials and tribulations of dog sitting, etc., etc., than the murders/possible murders. All was tied up neatly (and rather quickly) in the end. Perhaps this is a book that might be better read than listened to, as you could skim over some of the incessant whining. I listened to the entire thing because I hate to leave books unfinished but, by the end, I didn't particularly even care "whodunnit".

Seemed to Last Forever

Revisado: 04-25-13

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I found the plot to be predictable and the story seemed to go on forever. There was much that could have been deleted without really changing the plot. I got incredibly tired of hearing how the H had "always loved Franny".

Would you be willing to try another book from Lorraine Heath? Why or why not?

No. There are so many books and so little time. I would prefer to read/listen to those I enjoy more. For this genre, I will stick with Julia Quinn, Julie Ann Long, Sarah MacLean, etc.

What three words best describe Susan Ericksen and Antony Ferguson ’s voice?

Antony Ferguson was fine. Susan Ericksen had a breathy, overly dramatic presentation that I did not enjoy.

Excellent!

Revisado: 12-09-12

After listening to, and really enjoying, "Envy" by Sandra Brown, I thought I would try this book. I reserve five stars for those books that I would definitely listen to again. This is one of those books. Both the story and the narrator kept me listening to the point where I hated to stop. I did not find the outcome to be predictable. I will definitely be looking for more of this author's work.

Somewhat Disappointed

Revisado: 11-22-12

I generally enjoy Nora Roberts' work but found this one to be not quite as interesting/entertaining as usual. While I recognize the characters were fire jumpers, it seemed as though there was an excess of fire jumping in the story--when not actually jumping, the characters frequently were ruminating about jumping. It seemed more like filler than something that actually added to the story. The narrator wasn't bad but for the fact that male characters were distinguished by a kind of nasally tone, similar to a person with a cold or sinus infection. The ending was predictable--there was no real "who done it?" aspect to this story for me. Thus, an O.K. listen, but not something I will listen to again.
