Must read for women everywhere!

Revisado: 05-17-23

I read (listened) to this book with my husband for a book club. The start was a little slow but then it was really good. Lots of laughs, a few tears. The interview with the author at the end was also great.

Heartfelt Story of Mystery and Love

Revisado: 11-11-22

I really enjoyed this book and completed it in less that two day.
Once you start listening you won’t be able to stop until you learn the fate of the mysterious little girl.
McQuestion has created deep, relatable characters and a somewhat suspenseful story surrounding them.
This is not the fist book I have read by Karen McQuestion but I think it is my favorite. If you like this, be sure to check out her other books!

Spellbinding, kept my attention to the end.

Revisado: 06-15-22

I didn’t read the synopsis of what the book was about very closely, so I wasn’t expecting it to be the same as the true crime podcast on the same case.
I liked writing style, and the story from the eyes of a 13 year old.
It was fun to remember back when I was that age and how sure I was that I was all grown up and wanted to be a part of all adult conversations.
Cassie’s vocabulary was a little too big even for an avid reader but it was entertaining.
I will be looking into other books from this author.

Heart warming and heart breaking all at the same time!

Revisado: 11-17-18

What a beautiful story! Kia spends most of her life from age 7 living alone in a Marsh. She learns she can depend on nature but not people.
Determined not to let the townspeople keep her down, she, with the help of a boy who was nice to her, learns to read and write with no formal schooling.
I found the book to be a little confusing with going back and forth between timelines but eventually got the hang of it.
Great listen!

Loved the story, loved the performance!

Revisado: 02-08-13

I don't write many reviews because I am not an author and I don't like giving spoilers. This book was beautifully written. I felt I had to write a review Beautiful Ruins because I enjoyed it so much!
There are several characters in the book, but each is well developed and Jess Walter did a great job of making sure all of the loose ends were tied up by the end of the story. From the shores of Italy to The west coast of the USA I felt I was in each setting.
Edoardo Ballerini was wonderful. Speaking beautiful Italian sometimes and other times the voice of Deborah, and all of the characters in between. I was able to visualize the settings in the book as if I were watching a movie, or an extra in the story itself.
As I said, I am not a great author, but Jess Walter did a great job with this book. Give it a try and you will love it as much as I did.

Sad, funny, thought provoking, great story!

Revisado: 12-27-12

If you could sum up The Cider House Rules in three words, what would they be?

Interesting, thought provoking

Which character – as performed by Grover Gardner – was your favorite?

Wilbur Larch and Homer Wells too hard to choose just one.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I don't have enough time to listen to a book this long all in one sitting but it could have kept my attention for that long.

Any additional comments?

I really lived this book. Very well written and the performance was great!

Confusing and Hard to Follow

Revisado: 12-07-12

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I couldn't follow the story line. I listened to ALL of it, thinking it would come together, but it never did for me. I still don't really know what it was about.

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I thought the narrators did a really good job. I just wan't able to connect the dots between the different story lines.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I was dissapointed that I couldn't understand what the point of the storry was and couldn't bring it together. It seemed very disjointed to me.

Enjoyable listen

What did you love best about The Witness?

I loved how not only the characters were developed but also the feel of the town.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed listening to The witness. Nora Roberts did a great job developing each scene and each character. The plot was somewhat predictable. But that didn't bother me. It was a great romance story with a little mystery. This was my first book by this author, but I will be listening to more
