Story of child abuse

Revisado: 06-11-24

This story is depressing - the reader is excellent, but the subject matter is just sad…I only made it to chapter 4

My favorite of the trilogy

Revisado: 03-31-13

This is the third book that I've listened to and I enjoyed this one the most. The story continues with a very postive Christian message with a historical narrative that is biblically based and accurate. I enjoyed the performance.

Required reading for engaged couples!

What made the experience of listening to The Vow the most enjoyable?

I had heard about the movie, but wanted to read the original story before seeing the movie. I am disappointed that the "Hollywood" version of the movie doesn't tell the TRUTH about how important Kim and Krickitt's faith and belief in God helped them to get thru this incredible, yet miraculous 7 year period following Krickitt's severe head injury. This story is ALL about FAITH, BELIEF, promise, comittment, etc...how can Hollywood leave that out?

What did you like best about this story?

The way the extended families helped out and supported this newly married couple.

What does John McLain bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

John McLain is an excellent reader. He doesn't put too much drama into his voice in the annoying way that some readers do. The volume stays constant, so this is a wonderful for listening to in a car while driving.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Until DEATH do we part!

Any additional comments?

When people VOW at a marriage ceremony to LOVE, in sickness and in health, until death do we part - they really don't know what they are comitting to and what those VOWS might really mean. This couple stayed together, thru sickness and health after just a few weeks of marriage. The MOVIE doesn't lend justice to the part this couple's faith and trust in GOD played in their struggle. Hopefully, the Movie will lead people to reading the true story or listening to it on this audio book.

A bit "shallow" and predictable

Revisado: 05-07-12

What disappointed you about Courageous?

the "Christian LIGHT" philosophy....very predictable and not much spiritual depth.

Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again?

probably not.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Good narrator, just didn't have much of a story to work with.

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

The message of Father's taking responsibility, MEN BEING MEN and guiding their families to spiritual truth is good, but it's all about what GOD can do for ME, no deep Christian teaching. Very "protestant" - in theology.

Any additional comments?

Nice hopeful story - shallow theology, without substance. This is a "JESUS LOVES ME" kind of book for beginners. Prayer gets the characters thru some tough times. Church is all about fellowship and friends, but not about giving back to GOD. The men are there to guide and help the younger men and that's a good message. The action of publicly taking responsibility in an oath type of ceremony is fine and full of emotion if your faith is based on emotions and social peer group.

I love this narrator!

Revisado: 05-07-12

Would you consider the audio edition of West with the Night to be better than the print version?

I love listening to this kind of story. The author is excellent at discribing the landscape, charactors and animals of Africa.

Who was your favorite character and why?

This is a story about Beryl Markham, the author.

What does Julie Harris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Excellent Narrator - one of my favorite voices on Audible.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No - best if absorbed in small chunks.

Any additional comments?

Very enjoyable story. If you are a PETA person, you won't appreciate the fact that the author was a pilot for Elephant hunters when it was legal in Africa. The story jumps around a bit, so you don't get a feel for the author's age and I lost track of dates, so a bit hard to follow.

An insight into a personal experience

Revisado: 12-05-11

Would you consider the audio edition of Nothing Was the Same to be better than the print version?

I enjoy listening to books on my iphone more than reading because of the convenience. I usually listen while traveling in my car.

What did you like best about this story?

Personal experience of the Bi-polar author and her struggles with depression during her husband's illness and death.

What does Renée Raudman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
