Twists and Unexpected Turns

I really like Lyle Spencer, the newest character to come on the team. I look forward to seeing more of him in future books.

Always love Eve Dallas, JD Robb, & Susan Erickson

I particularly like how the many characters have evolved and learned and coped throughout the series. Looking forward to seeing the continuing evolution!

This should be required reading

Revisado: 06-08-22

Anyone who argues that students shouldn't learn about racism throughout the history of the US should be sentenced for committing a crime against human rights to read this book. I live in Lake county and this book makes me even more determined to speak out against the racism that is still rampant in Florida today.

was anyone else disturbed by

Edward's apparent abandonment of Steven un the ending? Steven was 'introduced' late then right away Edward seemed to be with Ruth. Why was Steven brought into it at all?

The ending seemed contrived and illogical.

The ending seemed contrived and illogical. I thought the narrator did a great job making it easy to distinguish the characters.

Want more Joan & Michael

Revisado: 05-10-17

Always love Davina Porter. Wish there were more Diana Gabaldon books in the Outlander series and more of these side novellas. I've read them all more than once.

Won't ever buy another book with this narrartor

Revisado: 11-07-12

Would you try another book from Linda Howard and/or Natalie Ross?

Yes for Howard; absolutely NOT for Ross

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Stories of New Orleans are almost always interesting.

Would you be willing to try another one of Natalie Ross’s performances?

NO. She was so annoying with her sing-song narration that I almost quit listening several times. If I could have given zero stars for the narrator, I would have.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I enjoyed the story line and the steam value was a plus.

Pleasant little series for light reading

Revisado: 08-07-12

If you could sum up Sunrise Point in three words, what would they be?

Pleasant, predictable, light-weight

If you’ve listened to books by Robyn Carr before, how does this one compare?

I find the entire Virgin River series to be enjoyable for a day at the beach or a plane ride or any other time when light reading can take you to someplace pleasant.. While the story-lines are totally predictable, the characters are very likable and feel like old friends. I will say that the men are (more than?) a tad fantasy-like with their protectiveness of women, combined with a new-age respect for women's rights, and a total selflessness when it comes to pleasing their women sexually! Where were these guys back when I was looking?

Have you listened to any of Therese Plummer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

It's interesting that when Plummer is speaking as Jack, or Preacher, or any of the other men in the series, I never think of her as anything but male! In the beginning of the series, I was able to tell every guy by their "voices", though as more and more men have been introduced, it has become more difficult to tell Jack from Lief or Collin or Denny, etc. Still, she does a fantastic job with voices!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I chuckled occasionally.

Any additional comments?

I would tell my friends looking for a pleasant, easy read to pick up any of the Virgin River books!

Unbelievable and unrealistic

Revisado: 08-06-12

What disappointed you about The Rope?

I have to agree with Ann of Lake Pleasant, NY and Debra of Amity, OR...there was too much about bodily functions; there were a simply unbelievable series of traumatic events entered into with witless abandon; and (speaking as a psychologist of nearly 30 years who has worked primarily with traumatized individuals) I have to say that Anna's reactions to the piled-on trauma after trauma were unrealistic.

What do you think your next listen will be?

It is likely to be an Alex Delaware or Frank Clevenger or even a Stephanie Plum who-dun-it; though (since I loved the previous Anna Pigeon books in the series) I will try one more (if there are more forthcoming) before I make a final decision about reading more of this series in the future.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Joyce Bean?

Yes. I think she did the best she could with the material. However, I really like Barbara Rosenblat!

What character would you cut from The Rope?

Lots of peripheral park administrators just seemed inserted to underscore what is portrayed as a top-heavy, abusive park system management. While this may be the case, I thought it was belabored without adding much to the storyline.

Any additional comments?

Someone else said they would recommend it to Anna Pigeon fans, and I'd go along with that -- with some reservations. If you are just starting out on this series...read The Rope last as most of the rest of us have done!
