This was awful

Revisado: 12-10-13

What disappointed you about Bittersweet?

I have been a huge Colleen McCulloch fan but this was just awful. The storyline was nothing and the use of so called Australian slang "starve the lizards"???? An English guy comes out to an Australian country town to run a hospital and while interviewing staff for their positions tells one of the nurses he wants to marry her, without even knowing who she is. Come on!!!

What could Colleen McCullough have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

She could have done a little research into country life in Australia.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Deidre Rubenstein?

Anyone - Mickey Mouse would have done a better job.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Bittersweet?

90% of them, it was all just so implausible.

Any additional comments?

I couldn't finish this book, I thought I did well to get through the first half. It was painful to listen to.

Confusing

Revisado: 10-31-13

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Someone who has plenty of time to read might find this book enjoyable, I found it confusing the way it jumped around from person to person. I read while I'm on public transport and have to stop when I get to my destination and quite often found it hard to pick up again. If I just had time to sit and read at my leisure I may have been able to follow more easily.

What do you think your next listen will be?

I've just ordered a Bryce Courtney book - Fortune Cookie.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Gerri Halligan?

Yes I would, I didn't have a problem with the narration.

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

Not really, it was quite predictable. Everyone fitted into their slots at the end a little too tidily.

Any additional comments?

I have read several Marian Keyes books and have enjoyed them and will try her again.

Verydescriptive and obviously well researched.

Predictable

Revisado: 12-03-12

What would have made Between Sisters better?

A little less man bashing and not so repetitive.

What was most disappointing about Kristin Hannah’s story?

So so predictable. Almost from the start you could see how it was going to end.

Would you be willing to try another one of Laural Merlington’s performances?

No

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Between Sisters?

Very repetitive, could have cut out half the book and still know where it was going.
