Rules of Civility is a modern day Great Gatsby. Towles character development is original, his words fascinating and thought-provoking.

A fabulous book!

I have listened to this book from start to finish at least three times. The character development is wonderful. This is a quiet book but also quite moving.

beautiful and inspiring

Revisado: 01-06-22

I listened to this book primarily as a way to work on my New Year’s resolution of being kind. This story was so inspirational and moving! I am going to listen to it again right away.

an engaging series

Revisado: 01-02-18

I absolutely love this series! The characters are engaging and the plot suspensful. The author really succeeds at her research for each book. She makes the books come alive.

an interesting perspective on a serious subject

Revisado: 12-09-16

I loved this book from the beginning. Noah adds his childhood perspective and excellent sense of humor to explain his experience with apartheid. I am asking each family member to listen to this book over the break. It is a great way to approach a very serious conversation about ratial relations, both past and present.

a quick adventure

Revisado: 03-23-16

I loved this sweet short! Full of fun, but true to the L.R.K. characters I've come to love. As always, J. S. does a fabulous job bringing the characters to life.

Hilarious motivation!

Revisado: 06-26-15

I thought the book was funny, insightful, and highly motivating whether you want to drop 5 pounds or 50. I was pleased the author also shows the human, personal side of our obesity epidemic. it brought many of our cultural stereotypes to life in Zoe and Greg. well done.

An excellent story

Would you listen to Peaches for Father Francis again? Why?

I have listened to "Peaches" twice already. I love Joanne Harris' style and the readers really make the book come alive.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Peaches for Father Francis?

I love when Vianne takes in a girl in trouble with no questions asked. I also like the friendship that develops between her and the curee despite past events.

Have you listened to any of Rula Lenska and Gareth Armstrong ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first book I've listened to by these readers.

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

Yes; I listened as I cooked dinner, folded laundry and waited for my son during his art lessons.
