Meg

Eragon mixed with Harry Potter with a smattering of sex. Delicious

Revisado: 01-28-25

I enjoyed the dragons immensely & their riders. I could have done without the sex scenes. I quickly realized that I missed something important if I fast forward through the sex, so there's that 😁 Rebecca Soler is an amazing narrator. She obviously wasn't feeling well when she recorded part of the book. She is such a trooper though! I already purchased Iron Flame 🔥

I Gave Up

Revisado: 09-07-20

I am a fan of all things literature, but this tale completely lost me. The story was so horribly muddled that I have absolutely no idea what the point was. It dragged on and I waited patiently for something to happen. Some true development of the ghost story drama that was promised by the genre listing, perhaps. I wanted to feel that old Gothic creepiness that comes from stories like this, but the author had me so confused as to what I needed to focus on that I could not find my way. The ghost factor was tragically underdeveloped. Truthfully, all of the characters were. The romance was awkwardly forced, and did nothing for the story. I continuously found myself trying to determine whether this was a ghost story, or an attempted romance novel. Neither of which are fair to say in this case. I had to throw in the towel very near the end, because I could no longer bear to listen to it. In my 31 years of life I can say that there are only 4 books that I could not bring myself to finish. This made number 5.

tough subject

Revisado: 10-13-18

the characters were great & Jodi Picolt gave us an ending to remember. The subject matter was tough but both sides were represented.

Excellent historical fiction

Revisado: 08-16-18

This is one of the best historical fiction books set in revolutionary times that I have ever read-listened to. If you're a huge history buff you have to remember that America's First Daughter is historical fiction. The authors did a FANTASTIC job. They did take certain liberties with events and characters as explained in the authors notes. I only knew of the aspects and contributions of Thomas Jefferson that was taught in high school and college. It was a pleasure to read about President Jefferson's private life as seen through the eyes of Martha "Patsy" Jefferson, his eldest daughter. Patsy is the glue of the Jefferson family. The politics and goings on of the day certainly make my appreciate that I was not born in that era. I will absolutely listen this book again. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Meh

Revisado: 03-06-18

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

This book suffered from the classic second book syndrome. It was ok. The characters are still good but... Steele & Glass got into a few predicaments that were just foolish & their relationship is going no where.

Any additional comments?

I tend to compare all book series to the amazing Amelia Peabody books by Elizabeth Peters. I hope that book 3 in Glass & Steele is better than book 2.

This book is phenomenal in every way.

Revisado: 05-19-17

Everything about the story makes you want to keep listening, and the narrator brings the whole thing to life in the most amazing way. I didn't want to get out of my car when I was listening to it! 5 stars hands down!
