An incredible story!

Revisado: 06-21-23

Its been a long time since I felt so invested in characters like these. I feel I will never forget them. The narrator who I discovered is also the author does a phenomenal job and I was spellbound the entire time. At first I thought I would lose interest after Big Ammachi passed on but I was wrong! Although she was integral to the story, it was sweet to see how your influence and journey pave the way for future generations. Exceptionally well written and one of my favorites in a long, long time!

Better than most

Revisado: 06-21-23

Excellent story! Would have enjoyed less unnecessary foul/harsh language that did not help the story at all, but loved the concept and idea for the stort itself! Also would have enjoyed the feel good moments to have been expounded on a bit so I could relish with the character more in the moment - especially the octopus who I was rooting for all along like most other readers will. it just seemed like the most meaningful parts were skimmed over without a lot of emotion. Overall, it's better than most stories I've listened to in a while!

WARNING: GRAPHIC ANIMAL ABUSE/MURDER

Revisado: 04-02-23

There were sections of the story that should have come with a warning!! Not just animal cruelty, but OVERLY descriptive animal cruelty and vicious murder which did not add any value to the story. I almost turned it off an hour in, but I was driving and just kept going. The part about the horse near the end was ridiculous. Can't get over it. Wish I could erase that. I would likely review higher if not for that. Anyway, let's just say this novel is not for the faint of heart and the antagonist spirals from a bad guy who had almost nice qualities in the beginning to immeasurably evil, murderous and mentally unstable at the end. Beautiful writing in some places, but in others, there is no way actual people would say the words written as dialogue, I don't care who you are. Some of this may have been due to the nasally over-theatric narrator's voice, which was, at times, difficult to listen to. Overall, I'm not upset I spent a credit on it, but it should have come with an animal cruelty warning. Some violence is expected in today's world, but this was overboard.

outdated and not the actual information!

Revisado: 02-09-23

This is probably my least favorite thing I have ever purchased on Audible! it's super outdated and is as another reader said, basically an advertisement to take the course. I may have gleaned a tad of knowledge but absolutely nothing worth the credit I spent. You can read a summary on Google and know just as much. I'm pretty disappointed. Also, who refers to mentally ill persons as deranged and disturbed anymore? It's super old school from the 70's and the terminology and rude references were enough to totally turn me off!

Painfully atrocious

Revisado: 06-20-22

This book got on my nerves fast. About an hour in I started talking back to the narrator, rolling my eyes and saying things like, oh my God, that's so (unrealistic, stupid, ignorant, judgmental, stereotypical...well, you get the idea.) This is by far the worst book that I have ever picked on Audible in my tenure here. Storyline is a great opportunity but characters are so cliche and doggedly rigid that it's just unrealistic. I can't tell you how disappointed I was - not because I have any positions that were challenged or views that were or weren't expressed, but because the writing just reaks and all those opportunities were sorely missed. Save your credit on this one guys. Honestly. Pick something else.

Amazing storytelling! 👏

Revisado: 04-02-22

Absolutely loved this story! K.L. Slater is a new fave for me! excellent characters and I loved the way she used the opening scene later in the book when the bodies were found. Gave me a sense of familiarity as the book had opened completely intriguing my interest. I wish I could give this book 10 stars because 5 is definitely not enough! Fantastic!!

nice twists and turns kept my interest

Revisado: 03-17-22

would listen to this author again. very nice character development though some confusion about Abbys age as preschool seems like 3 and 4 year olds too young for regular school. loved the book though. very good plot twists and kept me guessing. I enjoyed it.

Name of book had nothing to do with story

Revisado: 03-04-22

Borderline silly and boring - not at all as entertaining as other books by her.

Favorite book this year!

Revisado: 03-03-22

This author surprised me! I had never heard of her, but within momets i was hooked on the line and had to know the entire story. I related to so many different characters in this book and even though I grew up around the world (the story is set in Australia and I live in the U.S.) I felt like I had lived sections of the lives of so many! What a beautiful and compelling story! So well written and the most honest outlooks I have ever read. Bravo to this amazing author!

Amazing experience! Worth the credit!

Revisado: 02-21-22

I felt nervous spending a credit on this to start out with but halfway in I was like, I'd spend all 3! I have listened twice so far and play to listen as many more times as I need to glean everything I can from this wisdom! Beautiful.
