Beautiful Book

This is a gorgeous book. A fascinating story. Great characters.
I bought a hard copy to add to my bookshelf of favorite books and will read it - probably more than once.

Great read

Revisado: 02-06-25

This was a lovely fiction woven with interesting historical details about Ireland and gorgeous poetry by William Butler Yeats.

The only distraction were the references to the wind. That part felt forced. Like it was something the author made-up just to support the title of the book. But that's a minor annoyance. It was a lovely read.

This is Young Adult book

Revisado: 01-05-25

Was looking forward to this read, but immediately lost interest by how juvenile it read.
I did a little online research and discovered it was written for young people. Audible should have made it clear that this was for youth.

A Great Read

Revisado: 01-03-25

If you like 'tell-alls,' you'll love this book. She paints a great picture of what it's like to be part of, or close to people who are part of, a band . . . definitely drug, sex and rock & roll. She also gives you a glimpse of what it's like to be the partner of an abuser. It helps the reader understand the thought process and self-justification of a victim who keeps going back for more.

I saw several reviewers who claimed Lindsey has always been in love with Stevie, but I think Lindsey just has 'a type' and his competitive nature probably created a great deal of tension because Stevie's solo career was so successful.

Excellent story. Mattie Ross is a great character and Donna Tartt was the perfect choice to narrate.

Eh

Loved the narration, characters were interesting, and I liked the writing style, but the story itself bored me to the point I had to fast forward and skip over parts starting about 1/2 way through.

Excellent Read

This is a fascinating book. The author opens up and you really get an opportunity to know her. She tells us about all the fascinating work she has done and her relationship with her husband. It was everything I’d hoped it would be and more.

Excellent read

This was a fascinating read. While a significant segment of the Evangelicals have turned away from Jesus’s message so severely that I don’t think they are really Christians, there are still some good people desperately trying to redirect the church back towards Jesus. I wish them well.

Well researched.

Revisado: 05-09-24

The book was clearly well researched and it was interesting, but it was also depressing & I just never liked the main character. It may be because the book covers such a long time period and so many different angles that it felt like it was just brushing the surface. I fast forwarded through some sections. I did like the ending.

Interesting

Revisado: 02-29-24

This book is raw and real and very perplexing. I saw the author do an interview and decided to buy the audio book out of curiosity.

It was interesting to learn that Hugh's lifestyle was like one big show he was putting on for other men. I couldn't help but think of all the men who have admired him over the decades only to find his life was actually very empty. Yes, he had lots of pretty women around him, and they were willing to have group sex with him, but it sounded like no one really wanted to. It was just something they reluctantly did for the lifestyle these women wanted to have.

I was surprised to hear that young women and girls saw it as an actual goal and considered it a success to become a live-in 'girlfriend,' and it seemed like the author thought HER MOM saw it that way too.

She mentions numerous times that it all was so transactional, but then she was surprised and hurt to go on talk shows and have people treat her like it was all transactional.

I think the thing that surprised me the most is that she was a psychology major before any of it happened, and she didn't question the choices she was making until she was in deep.

I hope she is able to move on to a healthier relationship.
