Wonderfully entertaining!

I loved this! The narration was stellar, the writing was true and familiar. I will miss these characters and remember this book for a long time.

Magnificent!

Revisado: 03-12-22

It has been a very long time since I’ve been so enthralled with a book. Call Your Daughter Home is everything readers hope for when they start a new book. The story immediately grabs the attention, the characters are complexly drawn and the writer expertly weaves the story in and around these rich characters.
The narration is pitch-perfect with not a single misstep anywhere in sight. Everything about this book is perfect. Don’t miss it!

So disappointing

Revisado: 11-06-18

I was excited to read this book by one of my favorite authors. My excitement quickly vanished as I slogged through one incredibly boring and preachy chapter after another.

Ms. Kingsolver chose to narrate her own book. It’s hard to think anything could have made this book worse, but her plodding, laborious narration did indeed take the book from boring to unbearable, not to mention the numerous mispronounced words.

The book was a huge disappoint. Make this one a hard pass. You’ll thank me.

The title says it all

Revisado: 10-25-18

This is not an easy book to read. You will either love it or hate it; there is no middle ground here. I loved it. Halfway into the second chapter I was hooked.

Yes, the story made me uncomfortable. There were times when I literally held my breath, hoping that what I knew was about to happen wouldn’t happen. The story was the train wreck I couldn’t look away from. The characters were messy and deeply flawed, their lives were hard and pain-filled, and the injustices and tragedies they suffered were brutal. There’s so much I can’t say without revealing too much and spoiling the story but if you’re looking for a book that will grab you by the throat and not let go, this is that book.

A True Disappointment

Revisado: 10-22-15

The Lifeboat surely ranks as one of the least enjoyable books I have ever read. The story is disjointed and hard to follow and the characters are poorly drawn. The narration is unremarkable. Nothing positive to say about this book. Don't waste your time.

Great book!

Revisado: 06-04-15

I found this book quite by accident and I am very glad I did! Loved everything about it - the narrative, the pace, the twists and turns. I will be on the lookout for this author's next book!

Not much to like here

Revisado: 10-01-14

Huge disappointment. The book was poorly written, but was made even worse by the narrator's attempt at Southern accents and dialects.

Great Virgil Flowers story!

Revisado: 05-14-14

What did you love best about Storm Front?

I love anything by John Sandford. His Virgil Flowers series hooked me from the first book. Never thought I could warm up to another Sandford character the way I did to Davenport, but I was wrong - Virgil Flowers is almost as fascinating and richly drawn as Lucas Davenport.
