How refreshing..

Revisado: 03-12-23

Before leaving this review, I looked through a few reviews expecting everyone to love Lessons as much as I did. I was truly shocked to read reviews that used words like boring and returned. To each his own, maybe in the world we live in there has to be more action, sex, and violence - or maybe I am just boring, I loved the storyline, the narration, everything! At some point I realized how far we have come and yet how far we have left to go. A woman who unapologetically stands up for herself and other women and refuses to dummy down is a rare find in books these days - how refreshing!

Great character building, beautiful storyline. It was a great recommendation, and would definitely recommend (and already have before finishing!) to others.

Enjoyable

Revisado: 09-01-21

I loved Anna’s character, and enjoyed the story very much!! The only qualm I had (and it’s a personal petty peeve) - I could hear the reader moving her tongue in her mouth before starting after pauses and between characters, almost like her mouth was dry. For some reason I picked it up so much it irked me at times 🤷🏻‍♀️

Very enlightening and well produced

Revisado: 03-18-21

This podcast was very informative, eye opening, and inspiring. It is heartbreaking to hear of the biases in the medical field, and that it goes far beyond what I’d previously been aware of. I am not a medical professional, nor a person of color. However, I do work on the outskirts of medical care and patient support, and will take this knowledge to help encourage the patients I encounter that are of color to educate themselves, and advocate to be heard, for their care and treatment. Thank you for this production, and education!!

I almost gave up...

Revisado: 09-19-20

The first 1/4 of this book was almost painful. It just seemed as though there wasn’t going to be any depth to the story. I’m glad I didn’t give up.. It ended up being a pretty good listen!

Things aren't always how they seem...

Revisado: 08-13-12

I absolutely LOVED this book! I simply could not wait to listen and found excuses to "put my ears in". There were a few slow moments and a few times I said out loud "yeah, right!" as if something like that would really happen, but more often than not it was an amazing ride (and I mean RIDE). I find nothing better in a book than being totally absolutely shocked by the characters and once this happened in Gone Girl Gone I was hooked! It really is true that you never know what happens behind closed doors (or crazy minds!). I must admit I was a bit disappointed by the ending but also hopeful that there could possibly, maybe be a sequel where everyone gets what they deserve.

Intense!!!

Revisado: 08-13-12

I always look forward to Karin Slaughter books and this was no exception. I was so excited to listen to this one I basically walked around my house for 2 days listening (to the chagrin of my husband!). The one thing people need to understand about Slaughter's books is that they aren't a nice quiet evening read while drinking a mint julep on the porch....you tend to get way involved and her books are INTENSE! There were several story lines in this book beside the Will/Sara story and each one stood well on its own, regardless of how disturbing they were. This story spans 40 years so if you are a person who dislikes back and forth writing - this isn't for you. I personally enjoyed learning more about the past and watching it weaved brilliantly into the present. We learned more about Will Trent's troubled background and what brought him to the GBI. I was surprised but appreciated the honesty regarding the police view on women in the 1970's. She did not hold back on that subject. Many reviewers tend to explain the book and characters in detail so I won't do that. My thoughts - if you want an intense, sometimes cringeworthy thriller with abuse, racism, sexism, childhood pain and adult reality this is a GREAT read!

Refreshing bit of reality

Revisado: 11-13-10

I absolutely loved this book and hated for it to end. Franzen did a brilliant job of weaving the evolution of characters in and out of periods of strength, selfishness, weakness and home again. No, I didn't like all of the characters, but isn't that the way real life is? There is nothing better than starting a novel disliking a character and in the end loving them and respecting the road they traveled and not judging them for it. The only reason for 4 stars is that the voice of the Indian character voice was truly grating. Other than that an easy 5 stars.
