An excellent and very different story from Towles

Revisado: 02-23-23

So different than his other books but just as engrossing. Great characters, very interesting and engaging story. I loved it!

Good for a light read

Revisado: 02-23-23

Didn't love it but didn't hate it either. A bit light weight. This one won't stick with you.

Another great Tana French story

Revisado: 02-23-23

I love everything of hers, some more than others. I've read a bunch and listened to others, they are all so much fun. This wasn't one of my favorites, those would be The Witch Elm and the Secret Place, but there isn't anything she's written that isn't a great read or listen. Can't wait for whatever she is working on next.

Another good Ian McEwan book

Revisado: 02-23-23

McEwan's books can start out slow, but they're always a great read. This is the first one I've listened to, engaging and well written.

Easy to listen to and very engaging.

Revisado: 02-23-23

Just the type of book I love for when I am walking, likable characters, interesting story, great performance, and well written. I'm not looking for something deep and disturbing and this isn't, but it is thought provoking for those of us who are women who were alive in the 60s. A fun book!

Tana French never disappoints!

Revisado: 09-12-21

I've now read or listened to everything she's written. The Wych Elm was my favorite, but this one ranks very high. Her books make great reading, but of three I've listened to, the narrators have been wonderful and these are great books to accompany you on a long drive or while you're exercising. Amazingly engrossing and plotted beautifully.

Very engaging, entertaining and thought provoking

Revisado: 08-09-21

A great listen, clever story, actually made me think as I was reading. Easy to guess the ending but that didn't detract from the story. Carey Mulligan is a fabulous narrator, as you would expect. The book was sad in parts but not unbearably so.

Awful narration

Revisado: 07-04-21

I got this book because of a recommendation from someone who read it. Wish I had read reviews first. The story was meh, but it may have been better if the narrator wasn't so god=awful. He sounds like he's shouting through the entire reading, voices of the various characters are very amateurish, mispronunciations, etc. I finished it because I was on a road trip and didn't have anything else in my library, but don't waste your time.

Not a lot of there there

Revisado: 07-01-21

It was an ok story, but like other reviewers, I thought it would be more of a thriller, mystery. Not a lot of intrigue/suspense. It's really a sisters story, I kept waiting for something more to happen and when the big scene came, all I could think of was "is that it?"

So engrossing and the narrator is amazing!!

Revisado: 06-12-21

I loved the Martian novel so thought I'd try this one. I read the Martian but listened to this on a cross country drive. It's a first person narrative like the Martian and the narrator/actor was absolutely amazing, can't say enough about him, he brought this extremely clever story to life. Absolutely engrossing, it has it all, hard science, pending world destruction, an unlikely hero thrust into greatness, serendipitous discovery of an alien race, interesting and sympathetic characters, a very unexpected buddy relationship, unexpected plot twists, extremely clever premise. I was sorry when it ended, I wanted more! I highly recommend it.
