“Read” through most of this in one mostly sleepless night

Revisado: 07-29-24

First read from this author. Lots of well described action. Virtual voice was better than expected.

I wanted to like this more than I did, but . . .

Revisado: 07-05-24

Decent story, but the predictability, the excessive food snobbery, the overuse of cutesy "pretend" swear words, and most of all, the virtual voice made this my worst audiobook experience to date. Regarding the virtual voice, the technology that even makes this possible is impressive, and it was tolerable most of the time. However, the awkward pauses, mispronunciations, and robotic phrasing and inflection happened too often to not be distracting.

Mostly enjoyable "read"

Revisado: 06-19-24

This was a quick "read" and enjoyable/entertaining story, but the narrator's inflection was inconsistent as to the emotions being expressed, especially with the male voices.

Hoping for a sequel

Revisado: 06-10-24

Overall, I enjoyed this book. Although I think it was probably better suited to younger people, the story and the subject matter were of great interest to me, mostly because I grew up during the same period of time, except that I lived in Michigan then. However, I have lived in the Fort Worth area for going on 30 years, so the bits of Fort Worth history were also interesting. I became very fond of Corkie, especially for her idealism in such a fraught time in our country’s history, and for her self-awareness. I was deeply disappointed in the ending, though, because I also wanted to know what transpired in America’s life after the summer of 1964.
