Somewhat Disappointed…

Revisado: 09-23-22

I don’t understand why the author included the segment about Tom and Lolly(?) as it pretty much duplicated the basic relationship of Sierra and Conrad. Totally unnecessary and should not have been in this book. I also don’t understand the inclusion of the woman Sierra met at the AA meeting (I can’t remember her name). No point to it at all.
I really enjoyed the entire story about Sierra and Conrad. I appreciate a good story but I just cannot stand when it includes unnecessary writing. Without these things this audiobook would have received 5 stars from me.

Why Only a “3” Rating…

Revisado: 09-17-22

I just could not rate this book higher than a “3” because it had too many sections that were simply frustrating to read. The basic story was great but there were entirely too many unnecessary words, descriptions and confusing passages that if left out, would have made this book a “5” in my opinion.

LOVED IT!!

Revisado: 06-06-22

I laughed a lot and even got emotional at times. Such a great story to listen to with a super cool ending. Sophie Kinsella never disappoints! Great job by Fiona Hardingham as well. Loved all her different voices!

Loved It!

Revisado: 03-27-22

This was such a great audiobook — especially narrated by Will himself. I don’t remember the last time I read (or listened to) a book that I didn’t want to end. Such an honest and revealing look into the life of someone I’ve respected and admired for years.
To Will: Thank you for sharing your story.

Super-Enjoyed this Audiobook!

I thoroughly enjoyed learning so much about Alicia Keys. She is not only an amazing artist — she’s an amazing human. I was so happy the audio was done by Alicia. It’s a beautiful story. Thank you Alicia.

Truly Enjoyable Audiobook

Revisado: 02-08-19

It was so refreshing to enjoy a romance story that didn’t include a crazy period where some huge misunderstanding happens that causes one of the lovers to break up with the other. I really enjoyed this audiobook.

SO GLAD I BOUGHT THIS AUDIOBOOK!

Revisado: 11-12-18

Even though I knew Mr. Hinton would finally be released after 30 years on death row for crimes he did not commit, I couldn’t stop my tears as the narrator described the day he was released. Such a tragedy!

Great Story!

Revisado: 04-18-17

I loved the main characters.....especially Kara and Sheriff Jeff. I just truly enjoyed listening and reading (going back and forth between the audiobook and the Kindle book), always maintaining interest in the characters and the story. Loved the ending!

THE 100-YEAR-OLD MAN........

Revisado: 04-13-17

I typically complete any book I start but I gave up on this one. I really tried to keep listening but by the middle of chapter 13, I just couldn't continue. I found it totally boring and difficult to keep my focus on what was being read. The narrator was not the problem — he is actually pretty good. The story, however, is not. It's Iike a bad version of a cross between Forrest Gump and A Man Called Ove — two stories that I loved. I realize this audiobook has received many good reviews so I guess it just isn't my cup of tea. I still attempted to give it a decent rating.

THE DISTANT HOURS

Revisado: 11-17-16

What an epic story! It covered so much of the lives of each character. It is about a mystery, an old castle, 3 sisters, the people in their lives.... It's about love, jealousy, secrets and a book titled 'The Mud Man'.

It took me some time to finish reading it; however, that in part, was due to my knack for reading several books at a time. As I got closer to the end, closer to discovering the truth behind the secrets that had remained hidden for so many years, I just could not stop reading it.

I truly admire the author, Kate Morton, for having the talent to imagine the engrossing storyline and captivating characters, and then to put them into writing a great book like this. Although this is a fictional story, Ms. Morton clearly investigated many historical sources to ensure that important elements of the book were factual. Like I said, what an epic story! I definitely recommend this book to others and I plan to read other books by this incredibly talented author.

As for the narrator, Caroline Lee......an amazing job as usual! Ms. Lee is definitely my favorite narrator.
