I listened twice

Revisado: 01-17-24

it was very good. lots of details show up throught the book (like the Bible, the axe, etc) I wish I read this sooner. love it. however, one thing I can't figure out - if the yellow house was in Massachusetts (or even New Hampshire?), how did Mr. Osgood travel east to Albany with his regiment? maybe I missed something?

Worth the listen

Revisado: 04-10-18

At first the narrator's voice didnt seem to fit the book - she read very upbeat, matter of fact, and her voice is soothing, so I kept listening. The story kept pulling me in, because I was waiting to see what would happen next.... if anything would get resolved. I won't spoil it for you... but when I heard the narrator say "Laura & Emma was written by..." I couldn't believe the book was over! I am still thinking about the characters, even though we didn't get an in depth look at them... this seems more like real life with loose ends and all

Lovely & informative!

Revisado: 12-04-16

Great story packed with interesting and informative facts.
I've bookmarked a ton of passages that I want to learn more about.
I will keep this downloaded just to listen to the last few chapters again and again. Thanks for sharing this book with us Wally Lamb! And George Guidall has a wonderful voice - I listen to all of his books too. Definitely worth a credit!

Wow!! - Fantastic!!!

Revisado: 09-22-16

love it!! I will listen again! This novel includes philosophy, history, spies, manners, emotions, along with a fun game (Zoot). Well written, several times I was holding my breath in suspense. Amor's descriptions are beautiful (just one example - the way he describes bees on the roof at night as inverse stars...) I highly recommend this book & the narrator is lovely to listen to - such a soothing melodic voice, seems like the count was the one telling the story! you will not be disappointed! :)

3.5 stars

Revisado: 08-18-16

3.5 stars - narrator was too slow had to speed up read & even then it was slow - (did they slow down the narrator to make the book seem longer?) - the book left some unexplained parts, shifted suddenly to a time frame weeks/months later. lots of holes in the narrative. would like to see a second book with more in depth characters - a second book with the same characters would be great, just more depth please :)

still waiting.....

Revisado: 05-18-16

I'm on chapter 20, still listening because the narrator is good and I'm still waiting to find out what the plot of the story is... well, maybe that's not fair - I'm just not invested in the characters, if J doesn't turn out to be a psychotic drug addict OR if C doesn't stop being a whiny girl & grow up ----- then? it feels like I'm reading a 16 year old's diary..... but worth a listen if you like diaries (& the narrator is good - the writing is good too, but I'm halfway through and still waiting for the meat of it.....)

was good book, funny enough, but...

Revisado: 05-12-16

based on other reviews, I was expecting to have at least a few gut busting laughs, and I only had a few chuckles.... I could see where the situations are funny, but maybe it's the narration? maybe it would be funnier if I read it or if it was a movie.... I'll try another book by the author (maybe it was the subject matter?)
