Well, Sh*t...

Revisado: 12-27-23

I don't watch much TV, so I didn't know much about Leslie Jordan until the pandemic. One day I stumbled upon his Instagram and was delighted with his posts to his "fellow hunker-downers". While as an essential worker I wasn't locked down, I found his posts were a bright spot among the news of the day. This book perfectly captures his personality and demeanor, and his narration is an absolute treat. I only wish he was still with us because I'd listen to every book he published. His passing was one of the few celebrity deaths I actually mourned.

A bit too predictable

Revisado: 12-19-21

I figured out the why, if not the who, about halfway through the story, and the who wasn't a big surprise. That said, I liked the main characters and enjoyed the story.

Off to a slow start

Revisado: 12-03-21

I'll be honest, I almost gave up on it 2 chapters in. I just wasn't getting into it. Stuck with it, and by chapter 7 I was so enveloped in the story that I didn't want to turn it off to go to bed.

Terrible narration

Revisado: 09-20-21

Listened to 1 story and had to return it, which is too bad because I like quite a few of the authors and the stories sounded interesting. There is, however, no way I could listen to Bridger Conklin's monotonous narration for 10+ hours.

A Wonderfully Written Follow-up To Vacationland

Revisado: 08-07-19

I highly recommend reading Vacationland to get a feel for Hatchet Inlet and the wonderful characters therein before diving into Laurentian Divide.

I love the way Sarah Stonich weaves a tale, and it's refreshing to read a modern novel that's written from more than a single point of view. I do wish, however, that Amanda Ronconi had stayed on board to narrate this book also, as it is a bit of a pet peeve of mine when different books of a series have different narrators.

PLEASE tell me book 2 is coming soon!

Revisado: 03-23-15

I'm on my 3rd listen in 4 days. Not only is Amanda Ronconi my favorite narrator, but the story has just the right amount of humor and humanity. The only drawback was Ms. Ronconi 's attempts at auctioneering, but even that is easy to overlook once you get caught up in the story.
l am anxiously awaiting the next book!

Over Too Soon

Revisado: 01-11-15

Loved it, as I do most of Greeley's, but 'tis too short altogether! As usual, there were characters I cared about, but I wish the book had explored other characters more fully. It felt as if just as the story was getting good, it was over.
