Could have been shorter

Revisado: 07-16-24

Snowman's story is a good one and I enjoyed this book, my criticism is that the writing was a little repetitive at times but overall that didn't stop me enjoying the story. I also found the information about horse numbers, and how horse ownership has changed, over the decades was interesting.

Struggled to finish

Revisado: 07-16-24

A book club read, and I found it a bit dull and struggled to finish. I think the main message was about taking time to appreciate the people in your life while you can, a worthy message. And I did find a book set in Korea had some interest, but otherwise the book was not for me.

Loved Tenzing

Revisado: 07-16-24

A strong start to the series, the crimes weren't too graphic, the mystery was intriguing and I enjoyed the time spent with Tenzing and the handsome Tank. I am moving on to the next one in the series.

Feels like I spent time in an alternate reality

Revisado: 07-16-24

A Book Club read for me, which explains why I was reading it, and why I managed to finish it. I didn't hate it, but it's a very long book, with some gruesome descriptions included, and even after reading it, I am not really sure what it was all about. Not really my thing.

Not just about pigeons

Revisado: 07-16-24

Interesting thoughts about life, parenthood and the meaning of home, amongst quite a bit of information about keeping, breeding and racing pigeons. I knew nothing about keeping pigeons before reading this book, but I am not surprised to learn that a reasonable amount of time and effort is required for racing pigeons with any hope of success.
This is a very readable book and I enjoyed learning more about these often unappreciated birds.

For those interested in Atlantis

Revisado: 07-16-24

I first read this in my teens and enjoyed it more at that time. This time, I found it to have a rather slow start, and the endless political intrigue and manoeuvring rather bored me after a while, but it still manages to be quite an interesting story of Atlantis and it's demise.

A Little Gem

Revisado: 05-18-14

I remember reading this one for school a long time ago so thought I would revisit it with my 12 year old son and I can say we loved it. In fact, I would say it is one of the best books I have read, it is beautifully written and we found it quite gripping to listen to, but what I most enjoyed is the way it makes you think, both about the story of David's escape and travels, and the ideas in the book. I enjoyed it as a child, but I got so much more out of it as an adult.

A Childhood Favourite

Revisado: 04-16-14

I love the whole March story and we listened right through from Little Women, but I thought this reader missed the mark a little, she isn't good at different voices so it was difficult at times to know which character was speaking, and at times I felt she had the emphasis in the wrong place, and some words seemed to be pronounced a little oddly. This said, we did listen to the whole book and still enjoyed it.

A Thought Provoking Book

Revisado: 04-16-14

I have been meaning to read Lost Horizon for years but never got around to it until I got the audio version and listened. The book was just as interesting and enjoyable as I had hoped and I think was very well read.
