Memoir Themes Throughout Novel!

Revisado: 01-23-24

I enjoyed this novel and I am hoping for a sequel. If you read the author’s memoir, you’ll notice many similar themes. Every time I noticed a new one, I wanted to take a shot to reward myself! Making the connection between the author and the character made listening to the book even more enjoyable. This book has romance, mystery, and social justice elements woven throughout the book. One disclaimer: conservatives will probably find this book too liberal for their liking. Also, listen to the audio sample before using a credit because the narration may be a bit irritating to many. The reader’s pitch was too high for my liking but it wasn’t enough for me to stop listening.

Lacks Cohesion & Leaves Loose Ends

Revisado: 04-21-23

I read Burst for a book club. The story is about the relationship between an alcoholic mother and her daughter. I loved the characters, but the story fell flat. Many questions remain to be answered. Considering the storyline, I should have cried reading this book! I didn’t. This is a first for me. The book needs to be polished. There was so much potential with this book. I’m so sad this book fell short.

The Guncle is a breath of fresh air!

Revisado: 10-23-22

I absolutely loved the main character, Patrick. He’s witty, charming, loving, and vulnerable. I laughed out loud several times while listening to this book. The story is sweet and touching. This book is the perfect balance of comedy and gravity. The minor criticisms would be Patrick’s voice is hard to distinguish from other male characters and Patrick’s use of profanity with his niece and nephew could have been toned down a bit.

Absolutely Fantastic Read

Revisado: 09-26-21

I enjoyed this book so much. I couldn’t stop listening. The author did a fabulous job capturing Piper’s reality. I loved how the chapters switched from past to present, while slowly unraveling Piper’s truth.

Thrown Together Plot

Revisado: 09-25-21

There’s several plot issues with this book. First of all, the author uses too many coincidences to make the plot happen. Several parts about the main character was dropped throughout the book to make the plot work. For example, college is forgotten until the end. August skips work for three weeks. Noodle is mentioned only once at the end. Parts are over written, while transitions to different settings are lacking! I love the characters and parts of the plot are okay, but this book read like a rough draft. The book had potential, but the author missed the mark.
