Not A Stand Alone book

Revisado: 03-16-24

This was a good story. I enjoyed it as much as the previous books in the series. Until it stops in a cliffhanger and the next book in the series is not available. Telling the heroine of the series that she can't be saved/or maybe there is a way is not a good ending. I don't know whether to search for the next book in print or give up on the author.

Warm childhood memories in classic tale.

Revisado: 02-02-13

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I have always loved the Anne of Green Gables series. I remember reading them aloud to my sister when we were both young. This book has the poignant love story as Anne grows up. It is sweet, very sad one point and yet full of laughs all the way through.

Who was your favorite character and why?

It is hard to choose between Anne and Marilla. Anne is so full of high ideals and dreams, but is always being forced to face reality and the problems of life. She does it as any real person would with fits of temper, tears.

Marilla, on the other hand, shares wisdom, with very few displays of emotion. She tends to keep her feelings, bottled up inside herself. Something I would love to be able to do most of the time.

Would you be willing to try another one of Renee Raudman’s performances?

I might try her once more, but I prefer other people who have narrated some of these books. She doesn't put as much life into the characters.

Was Anne of the Island worth the listening time?

Yes, any book by Lucy Maude Montgomery is well worth taking the time to listen too.

Disappointing!

Revisado: 12-03-12

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

If the book had not jumped constantly from one group of characters to the next without any since of continuity.

What could J. K. Rowling have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Rowling should go back to the formula that worked so well in the Harry Potter books. Fully developed characters, action and an interesting plot. This book is the most poorly written peice I have read since I stopped teaching and having to grade student essays.

What character would you cut from The Casual Vacancy?

At least three-quarters of them. It is hard to choose just one.

Any additional comments?

I would advise people to save their money and skip this book.

Touching Story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This novel deals with real life everyday issues and how Christians deal with them. You see financial struggles tragedies and triumphs. The friends work and pray together in a way that makes me want to reach out more to my neighbors.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Seasons Under Heaven?

I can't imagine anyone forgetting the scene where the handicapped child accepted Christ.

Which scene was your favorite?

When they were all discussing best moments.

Fascinating read

Where does The Son of Neptune rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of my favorites.

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoyed the interaction of the characters. The flow between the three main characters and having the book written from the perspectives of each. I loved the ending which left me looking forward to the next book, but completely wrapped up the plot.

Which scene was your favorite?

I really enjoyed the capture by/ escape from the Amazons. I couldn't keep from laughing.

Great Story

What did you love best about The Chase?

Ms. Mills took an overused premise (author/or actor shadowing FBI) and turned it into a fantastic storyline with well developed characters. I enjoyed how she worked the theme of the need for God into the lives of people who felt they could wait until later, without the book becoming "preachy".
