Not at all what I expected!

Revisado: 01-20-16

Any additional comments?

WOW! I just finished 600 Hours of Edward and I loved it. It was not at all what I would have thought when I ordered it. I'm pretty sure I never would have read it, or listed to it at the normal speed, so this is my suggestion, listen at a 1.25 speed, enjoy getting to know Edward, but most of all, don't miss this book. I gave Luke Daniels only two stars because at the regular speed I'm sure I wouldn't have listened. I do not for a minute think it is his reading. He has a director who controls the speed of the delivery. For me, it was way too slow. Do yourself a favor and check this book out.

Don't give up!

Revisado: 09-15-15

I almost stopped listening after about 6 hours. I went back and read the reviews to see if I could figure out why I purchased this book I the first place. I don't need reviews with spoilers or to tell me about what happens specifically in the book. I found what I needed, it keeps getting better and better. I'm so happy I finished this book. It is well worth the time. I think it would make a great movie. Anyone else?

Compelling

Revisado: 09-02-15

Any additional comments?

This is one of those books that keeps you driving around the block, or keeps your neighbors worried about why you are sitting in the car in the driveway. I found it totally compelling. I didn't want it to end. It would make a great movie. As a nurse, I loved the medical aspects of it, but rest assured, you do not need to have any medical background to enjoy this book. I look forward to more by this author. Do yourselves a favor and listen to this one. I'm sure I will again, and I seldom say/do that.

Another great one!

Revisado: 09-05-14

What made the experience of listening to Lone Wolf the most enjoyable?

This book really had me after an initial, 'what the heck it this'? It had me sitting in the driveway more often than I should. The narrator is terrific, but the story is riveting.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Whenever a character was 'speaking' they were my favorite. I think that means Jodi Picoult was my favorite. Each character was developed in a way that when they were featured, I loved them and understood their position.

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

I think the narrator did a fine job. When I would rejoin after it had been off (which means when I got back in the car) I knew exactly where I was, but,she did not exaggerate the voices so much that it was annoying. I'm from Massachusetts and I hate it when narrators who think the know how we sound try to sound like a native, and then have no idea how to say quahog or pronounce the names of our towns.

If you could rename Lone Wolf, what would you call it?

I wouldn't.

Any additional comments?

There are so many levels that this will appeal to folks. Listen, or read it. I purchased the book from Amazon so my friends who don't listen can read it. It is well worth the time.

The Silent Wife

Revisado: 05-20-14

If you could sum up The Silent Wife in three words, what would they be?

Love, immaturity, sadness.

Would you be willing to try another book from A. S. A. Harrison? Why or why not?

I am willing to try another book be ASA Harrison, although there are parts of this one that didn't seem to connect as smoothly, as I would have liked.

Which character – as performed by Karen White and Donald Corren – was your favorite?

As I listened all the characters were my favorite at one time or another. That being said, there were moments when I disliked all of them, except the dog. I think it takes a great talent to write so this will happen.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No, not really.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the listen but it did not leave me wanting to run to Audible to find a sequel. Recently I have listened to several books that did make me feel that way. Or at least left me 'missing' and thinking about the characters.
