Disappointing

Revisado: 01-23-20

I usually really enjoy Sophie Kinsella books and was looking forward to listening to this one. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. I kept fast forwarding in hopes that I would get to the heart of the story. It turns out there was no heart, just a story about shopping. I hope if Kinsella releases another Shopaholic book, she will give more thought to the story and her readers.

Happily surprised

Revisado: 12-12-19

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. I had never read any of her magazine or newspaper articles. I have to say I was happily surprised by this book. I thought it was incredibly insightful and very well written. I would recommend to anyone whether you’ve been in therapy or not.

I gave up after 20 minutes

Revisado: 11-21-19

I am sorry to say I could not listen to this book. Something about the narration and/or sound quality made it difficult to understand.

Good for 30 somethings

Revisado: 07-30-19

I thought this book was well written and performed. But, I think the target audience is probably more toward women in their 30’s and early 40’s, especially if you are a perfectionist. I am in my mid fifties and I didn’t gain much insight from the stories, since many of the experiences the author
spoke about, were already behind me.

Interesting story, bad narration

Revisado: 04-03-19

I found the story interesting, however I found the fact that the narrator spoke with an American accent when speaking as Marie Curie distracting. The narrator used accents for everyone else in the story, except the main character. I felt it really took away from the story telling.

Boring

Revisado: 12-27-17

Would you try another book from Nora Ephron and/or Meryl Streep?

I don't think I would. I was surprised by how boring this book was. I had high expectations for a Nora Ephron book.

What do you think your next listen will be?

The Glass Memoir

What three words best describe Meryl Streep’s performance?

Sounds like Meryl Streep

Do you think Heartburn needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No follow up needed! This was a very dull story.

Any additional comments?

Skip it!

Painful listen. Returned it.

Revisado: 01-15-17

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Let me say that I am a fan of Watch What Happens Live and enjoyed Andy's first book. This book is ridiculous. It is truly superficial, with Andy telling you about his daily activities. Working out with his trainer, going to lunch, complaining about his dog. It's not interesting or compelling in any way!

What could Andy Cohen have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Told some interesting stories. This was so boring.

Would you be willing to try another one of Andy Cohen’s performances?

NO!

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No! It was very disappointing.

Any additional comments?

The publisher and Andy should be ashamed for even publishing this book. It was clearly just a money making venture. It has no redeeming qualities.

Great listen for old & new fans

Revisado: 01-10-17

I have been a Springsteen fan for over 30 years. I found this book fascinating. Not only because it gave me insight in to Bruce's life. But, it also gave great insight into what it takes to succeed as an artist and what it has taken Bruce to overcome his demons. I think anyone who enjoys biographies would enjoy this book. It's thoughtfully written and beautifully read.

Sounds more like he hates Paris then loves it.

Revisado: 05-06-15

What did you like best about The Sweet Life in Paris? What did you like least?

I have to say I was really disappointed with this book. A friend recommended I read it because I am going to Paris next month and I am also a food lover. After listening to this book I wish I could cancel my trip. David doesn't say anything positive about Parisians at all, just how dirty and rude they are. I truly do not understand why he continues to live there if there is so much to complain about.

Would you ever listen to anything by David Lebovitz again?

No

What else would you have wanted to know about David Lebovitz’s life?

Nothing

Any additional comments?

If you are planning a trip to France, skip this book.

Even Better Than Expected

Revisado: 08-21-14

Would you consider the audio edition of Wedding Night to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version, but the narrators where great. I feel like they added a lot to the story.

What other book might you compare Wedding Night to and why?

I have listend to many other Sophie Kinsella books. They have all been good, but this is now my favorite

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

They did a great job of conveying the emotions of the characters. I also love the English accents.

Any additional comments?

I wish the story could have gone on and on.
