Take Your Pleasure Where you Find It

De: J. D. Mason

Narrado por: Erica B. Peeples

Freddie “the Cheerleader,” Phyllis “the Class President,” and Renetta “the Fat Girl” ended their friendship back in high school. So it’s a surprise to all of them when they end up connecting at their 30-year high school reunion. They’ve all changed since those harsh yet tender high school years, and each one of them has her own deliciously scandalous secret. But when those secrets threaten to come to light—and possibly tear apart their less than perfect, but generally content lives—they band together in their sisterhood to stand and fight to keep what’s theirs. Funny, sexy, tender, and raunchy, Take Your Pleasure Where You Find It is a J. D. Mason take that is not to be missed.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“[J .D. Mason’s] portrayals of her characters and their innermost thoughts bring the readers right into the emotional center of the story. Those who enjoy Carl Weber and Eric Jerome Dickey will add Mason to their list of favorites.” ( Booklist)

Terrible Narration

Would you try another book from J. D. Mason and/or Erica B. Peeples?

I would read another book by J.D. Mason for sure. I thought the story was interesting at best. I didn't think the title fit the story but that is something I can deal with. The characters were well developed and I felt it flowed pretty well. I didn't enjoy the narration by Erica B. Peeples at all. She paused when there shouldn't have been a pause. She mispronounced several words in the words which caused confusion in what I was listening to. Her voice was ok but I feel that she needs more practice before making this a full time career. Her vocabulary seems limited. I haven't seen the book in print but every word she mispronounced I knew right away what she was supposed to say. I almost stopped listening to the book because she was just that terrible.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the characters and I also liked the story line.

What didn’t you like about Erica B. Peeples’s performance?

See my previous comment about the narrator's performance. Like I said before, it was sub-par and could use some polishing. Maybe she should practice reading aloud before recording it. I guess there's no editing done before the final copy is presented to us. If there was, I sure her errors would have been caught.

Could you see Take Your Pleasure Where you Find It being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No. It wasn't that exciting. It might make it to Lifetime.

good summer read

This is a summer chick read. a good story about friends and their secrets. I thought the reader did a very good job

Good story line.

The narrator isn't that good. Better to read without narrator. A guick read. Great weekend entertainer.

Narrator, a total snooze

The story was just fine. A lot of ups and downs, twists and turns. HOWEVER, listening to book was torture at times. The narrator showed very little passion most of the time and diminishing the overall quality of the book.

Decent book, horrible narration!

The story is ok, but it was hard getting in to it because the narrator is horrible. Her accents are bad and she stumbles way too much throughout this book. At times, it seems as though she has trouble reading. I think I would have enjoyed the book a whole lot more of some else had narrated it.

Good and bad

I enjoyed the book and the story but I was hugely disappointed with the reader and the recording. There were a lot of pauses in the reading that did not allow the book to flow and there were a lot and I mean a lot of times when words were not completed. It felt like the tape stopped recording before the reader could finish the word and it happened a lot. That is why I only gave it 3 stars...

Horrible story telling!!!!

Let me say first that the narrator was horrible!! She didn’t know how to pronounce words, her tone, and all the reading mistakes!! Goodness it was like getting teeth pulled....I wanted to finish the book since I started it but let me say this book was way longer than necessary on top of the bad narrating....I don’t think I’ll be listening to anymore JD Mason books and definitely won’t be listening to ANY book and I do mean ANY book narrated by Erica B Peeples. My 7 year old grandson reads better than her!!!

NOT BAD!!!

This was my first from this Author. Talk about the past coming back to haunt you...
Not a bad read, it was worth it.

Took me a while because the narrator was horrible,

Other than the bad narrating, this is a really good book. You could really relate or almost all the characters and let me tell you the judge had me and my huddy rolling on the floor.

Great Book

Very good book and the moderator was excellent, would have loved a little more at the end but that's always the case when it's over.
