If you love Fairytales, this book is not for you!

Revisado: 04-26-19

Let me start by saying that if it wasn't for the narrators, I probably would have returned the book.
I found it quite disappointing, not what I expected at all.

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant!!!

As usual Joy Ellis does not disappoint!
The characters are so very real, within minutes you are transported into their world, you feel their pain, live their fears.
As for the narrator, absolutely brilliant!....thank you Mr Armitage, thank you!

Thank Goodness for Mr Farrell

Revisado: 02-25-19

I honestly can't say that I enjoyed this book, I found it very drawn out and monotonous to say the least.
I'm sure that James Joyce was a brilliant writer, and if anything his attention to detail is astonishing!
But this particular book was just not for me, I listened to the end more out of respect and with a small flicker of hope that maybe, just maybe it will end better than it began, but alas it did not.....the only thing or I should I say the only one that kept me listening was Colin....Well done Mr Farrell, well done in deed, maybe try something a little lighter next time though, maybe something along the lines of Joy Ellis or Patricia Gibney?

Fantastic Read!!

Loved it...loved it...loved it!!
The characters are so real it feels as though you can reach out and touch them, and Joanne Froggatt is the perfect narrator!
Well worth the credit!

Think I might be too old for this one!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Don't get me wrong, it's a good book, though the story is a bit too dragged out for my liking.I loved Sienna, she's great!....funny, loving, tender, she's perfect, ...but Nick oh dear, I guess I discovered that I'm more of a "knight in shining armor" kind of girl, he's just way too immature for my liking, no backbone as such. Over all it's not a bad story and the narrators were both excellent!

Boring!!

Revisado: 05-15-17

What would have made Howards End better?

I decided to listen to the book before the series is released, usually the book is always better than the series, but this time I was so wrong! I found it boring and monotonous to listen to, the narrator tried her best, but the story just drones on and on

What do you think your next listen will be?

Diana Gabaldon's A Breath of Snow and Ashes....can't go wrong with Diana!

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

No

Excellent Read!

Revisado: 10-14-15

Would you consider the audio edition of The Letter to be better than the print version?

Audio editions are rarely better than the print, but in this case it came pretty close thanks to Rachel Atkins! I was on an emotional roller coaster all the way through!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Of course it has to be Tina Craig, she is such a gentle soul, you can't to not like her

Which scene was your favorite?

It's difficult to pinpoint a favorite scene, when the whole book had me captured from beginning to end.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Tina Craig's miscarriage.... it was by far the most emotional, I was in tears.

Any additional comments?

I will most definitely be reading more novels by Kathryn Hughes and listening to more audio books narrated by Rachel Atkins.....excellent ladies, a very powerful collaboration!
