I see what you did there...

Revisado: 12-04-21

I think I understand what the writer was going for but by the time we got to the end I felt disappointed. We went through all of that for this outcome? Like a balloon slowly deflating 😔🤦🏾‍♀️.

Such creative SWEET Stories

Revisado: 10-15-21

Very creative, I will listen to this book again. I especially liked the jello story and the story with the 2 brothers.

Calling Ms. Lisette LeCat!

Revisado: 08-12-21

In all honesty, I was not able to get further than chapter 2, and I attempted to leave it blank, but an overall rating was required to submit. Why they went with this narrator, I probably will never know, but as long as nothing tragic has happened to LeCat, PLEASE BRING HER BACK to narrate the next book. I have listened to this entire series, but will attempt to return this one if I can 😔. I'm sure this narrator is fine for another book but NOT a well established series. I'm disappointed in the narration and disappointed that I would have needed an iron will to try to visit with a character who by now is an old friend. What in the world were they thinking?! 🤷🏾‍♀️

Serious Subject. Entertaining Story!

Revisado: 11-29-20

In light of what we all have just lived through, this shows an election where the listener may also be pulling for the wise, Apple pie baking, sometimes reluctant, ultra popular candidate: Grandma! I think any curious about the election process person would enjoy a listen to this smartly edited, not overwhelming 10 part story about a boy who writes a paper about how his grandma would be a great president. This audiobook takes us on the journey of what happens next! Listen to this story for 15-30 minutes until it is done, and on the final night get some apples or some Apple pie 😋.

I Want My 47 minutes Back

Revisado: 10-25-20

No character was likeable or memorable. The entire thing was like an incomplete sentence.
I am not smart, stupid, high or "other level" enough to have understood this. 🤷🏽‍♀️

The way it started is not the way it ended...

Revisado: 06-19-17

If I found out that two different people wrote this book, I would not be surprised. The first part was written with such love and care, the second part was detached. Touchless. There was (I felt) no care for Anna or the Swallow man. I don't know if this was the intent, or maybe just like a previous reviewer said - perhaps I'm just not smart enough to understand all of the highly praised fluff at the end. The swallow man would have been very disappointed I think.

Cherished Holiday Memories

Revisado: 12-15-16

A quick delightful listen featuring the holiday memories of some of Audible's best narrators. It was so interesting to listen to these stories of people from all over...with nothing much more in common than a date that many of us pause to acknowledge. Stories of traditions both wacky and sacred. As different as we all are, we are still human beings. It is a shared experience. It is us taking a moment, to pay tribute to a time that in some cases does not exist anymore. Listening to these stories caused me to visit some of my own memories. It really was a treat. Thanks audible.

Enjoyable Agatha

I always turn to Aggie for a light and airy read - even when the topic is heavy.

One of the Best I have heard this year!!

Revisado: 07-25-15

This year has been tough for me trying to find books to snuggle up with, and become a part of for a few days. This book heard my knock , opened the door and welcomed me with open arms - That was perhaps more Sonia than Ove, but he grew on me. I absolutely love the sense of community this book provides, I love that even though Ove struggles so hard with life, he doesn't stop trying, and when he has decided he has had enough, he couldn't even do that correctly. I wouldn't be surprised if Ove and his neighbor were Aspies, you know if they weren't characters in a book of course, but as frustrating as hearing all about the different makes of Saabs was, I plan to listen to this book again one day. I enjoyed it so much. If you need a book that's just a soft place to land - give this a listen.
