Historia
Catherine West has spent her entire life surrounded by beautiful things. She owns an immaculate Manhattan apartment, she collects fine art, she buys exquisite handbags and clothing, and she constantly redecorates her home. And yet, despite all this, she still feels empty. She sees her personal trainer, she gets weekly massages, and occasionally she visits her mother and sister on the Upper East Side, but after two broken engagements and boyfriends who wanted only her money, she is haunted by the fear that she'll never have a family of her own.

Shallow characters, shallow story
Revisado: 03-08-17
This book would be better rated as young adult if the incongruous sex scenes were deleted, or a marginally better written 50 Shades if more sex scenes were added. The characters were one dimensional, and in many cases totally superfluous, with a story that was cliche save one small twist that was fairly obvious. I stuck it out to the end because I didn't really need to pay attention to the story, and I quite liked the narrator. I would definitely not read another book by this author, but I would assuredly listen to this narrator again. She made it better than it was.

Historia
When Elspeth Noblin dies of cancer, she leaves her London apartment to her twin nieces, Julia and Valentina. These two American girls never met their English aunt; they only knew that their mother, too, was a twin, and Elspeth her sister. Julia and Valentina are semi-normal American teenagers - with seemingly little interest in college, finding jobs, or anything outside their cozy home in the suburbs of Chicago, and with an abnormally intense attachment to one another.

Disappointing sophomore effort
Revisado: 10-30-09
After reading The Traveler's Wife and loving it, I was looking gorward to Niffinegger's followup and was, sadly, disappointed. Although the characters are reasonably well developed, I found the story itself thin. I hope she can redeem herself with a third book, as I am willing to give her another chance. I loved Bianca Amato's reading style and will look for other audiobooks of hers.

Historia
Shy, studious Irene Stenson and wild, privileged Pamela Webb had been the best of friends for one short high school summer. Their friendship ended the night Pamela dropped Irene off at home - and Irene walked in to discover her parents' bodies on the kitchen floor. It was ruled a murder-suicide, and Irene fled Dunsley, determined to wipe out every memory attached to her northern California hometown. But now she has been summoned back.

Decent book, not so decent narration

Decent book, not so decent narration
Revisado: 08-21-08
Krentz delivers, as usual, but I had difficulty with Kathy Garver's style. While she differentiated between characters, her cadence takes away from the story - substance is lost to enunciation. She'd be great reading children's books. On the other hand, David Collaci was a joy to listen to, and I'd look for him again.
