Octopuses are amazing!

Revisado: 07-14-24

I loved the excitement of the author as she read. I love all the knowledge I gained as I fell in love with each octopus. Excellent book on every way!

Loads of Bad Language!!!

Revisado: 02-02-23

If the language doesn’t bother you, maybe you’ll like this book. I tolerated it for awhile, but finally had to give up. A full paragraph of nothing but the “f” word, over and over. Characters that seemed to use it in every sentence. Not for me. Too bad. I heard that the story was good, but I’ll never know.

Interesting perspectives

Revisado: 01-27-22

I enjoyed the story, but I was really distracted by the narrator's accent and odd pronunciations.

Best CFM Podcast!

Revisado: 07-10-21

I have listened to several different CFM podcasts and I have enjoyed most of them, but this one tops them all. The guests are all extremely knowledgeable and bring new insights into each chapter. I loved studying with one of the other podcasts, but my depth of understanding and my desire to learn and study more has increased as I’ve listened to “Follow Him” each week. Thanks to Hank Smith and John Bytheway for putting this together, and to each of their guests for sharing their knowledge and testimonies.

Fun, but not quite believable.

Revisado: 12-01-20

The story was fun and not overly complicated. My only real complaint is that I can’t see the characters, who are active in the Jewish faith, being okay with a daughter moving in with a single guy. Either the dedication to their faith, or the lack of morals has to go. As is, it’s hypocritical.

Needs more fun, less foul.

Revisado: 12-01-20

Didn’t get very far into this book before I had to give it up. I’ve heard worse language, but there were an awful lot of the “little” swear words in the first couple chapters. It just didn’t feel like a fun little Christmas RomCom, which is what I was hoping for.

Excellent Book

Revisado: 11-20-20

I can’t say I was really interested in this book from the start. I had lived in Berlin, so I thought that would interest me, but the general description just didn’t entice me. Knowing what I know now, it would be top of my list! By the end of the story I was engulfed in the characters. I cried with them and for them. The story illustrates characters and characteristics that have, largely, been lost in time. It was wonderful to step back and see them again.

Read volumes 12 & 13 instead!

Revisado: 05-22-20

The narrator for the previous books passed away and her loss is very noticeable in this book and the next in the series. Georgie is different. Darcy’s pleasurable Irish lilt is lost and a majority of the other characters are all read as if they had just woken up from a long winter’s nap, or, they have an ugly speech impediment. I had such a great time listening to this series until this volume. I still enjoyed the story — same fun mystery, but I found myself critiquing the delivery of each line instead of focusing on the story. I truly missed the previous voice of Darcy. He just doesn’t have the same appeal now. Sad.

Please Tell Me There's More to Come!

Revisado: 04-13-20

I've read or listened to this entire series now and I've loved every moment! For me, the Irish dialog connects me to my own Irish ancestry and makes me think of what their lives must have been like. I think also of my mother, who grew up in a log cabin in one of the beautiful valleys of Wyoming. Sara Eden has created such a beautiful blending of the historical struggles with the development of rich characters, each of whom has their own histories to overcome, and she does it all with ease and believability! There are more characters to explore, and I sure hope she takes the time to write their stories as well. If I could, I'd move right into town with them all!

A book worth reading (or listening to)

Revisado: 08-22-17

A friend recommended this book several years ago, and I added it to my list. My only regret, is that I did not read it immediately. "The Rent Collector" is one of those books that adds goodness to your soul and improves your character. Don't put it off!
