Very interesting and informative, little guidance

Revisado: 06-05-21

Found this book well written and interesting overall. There is a lot of echoing of information I learned in The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung, which is a little funny given their deviated opinions on certain foods and fasting, but perhaps they have looked at the same studies and arrived at different opinions. Both are valuable. Either way don't get this book thinking it will give you all the answers to your overweight problem but do expect to learn a lot about human physiology and anthropology especially if this is a new realm for you. In a sense it just teaches what many others do, that you have to find a sustainable way of eating and moving to be successful in the long-term...generally without eating processed food but without omitting whole food groups or macronutrients.

Amusing and heartening

Revisado: 10-10-19

Enjoyed a lot, in no small part due to the narrator. A very amusing book with heart and humor.

continuation of The Witch's Daughter

Revisado: 09-27-19

I enjoyed this one even more than the first novel even though I'm not particularly into period novels...it is less about the period and more about the actual story in both. I skipped the second and third novels in this series and it seemed to make no difference and I think those are stories in the same world but about completely different characters.

Great narration by the author

Informative and interesting even as a non- redhead. Well researched and well delivered. Extra plus for PDF accompaniment. I'm going red.

Unconvincing

Revisado: 04-10-19

I struggled with this book. Mostly because of the story and partly because of the narration but that might be the writing. I'm just not buying any of it. There are SO MANY inconsistencies with Gone With the Wind and it just doesn't have the same kind of tone. I don't think Mccaig has even read GWTW. It is written with no regard to Scarlett which I see little reason for and I don't understand what is supposed to be canon buy even so there is no excuse for writing it with no regard to the original novel. I don't really believe most of the story, character's actions and dialogue. I don't really care about any character. Belle is dumb rather than just uneducated lower class woman, Archie is a completely different character who apparently knew and adored Rhett prior but didn't play his correct role the night of the Klan incident, Scarlett says Father and no PA in addition to behaving quote differently and Belle and Melanie having an interaction that is specifically contradictory to later events in GWTW. I find all this embarrassing for the author.

Narrator takes some getting used to.

Revisado: 04-09-19

The story is rich and satisfying and full of interesting turns and similar themes to the original. I do wish they had chosen a narrator with a young voice as all the characters are quite young. The narration is done well but her voice gives a mature quality and my mind's eye pictures Scarlett in her 50s rather than 30s.

fun but not grabbing

Revisado: 04-13-18

I tended to like this first part of this more. This part was a bit all over the place and I wish they had found a better thing for Finn to do...that part could have been deleted altogether. some holes but still fun and better than the movie with some of the additional information you get.

Much better sequel stories than the newest films.

Revisado: 02-19-18

The weak storylines of the force awakens etc movies can generally be ignored since we have this lovely trilogy. Let's just pretend all that other nonsense doesn't happen shall we? This trilogy is great and the narrator is excellent.

Enjoyable and charming

Revisado: 02-02-18

I liked this book maybe a bit more than her first, The Sparrow Sisters, possibly because o like the narrator much more. the story is good too and I got into it. Full of good characters and am enviable setting complete with delicious sounding food.

Really enjoyed.

Revisado: 01-30-18

The story was a bit predictable once it got going but the way it was written was not. I enjoyed the world and felt immersed in the entire plot. I'm hoping there is a follow up with Sorels story. The narrator was good but I disliked the way she did a breathy and floaty voice for the sisters, especially Patience who is so strong willed.
