George D. Geddes

I found this book a bit shallow and the main character irritating at best. Very disappointed.

Revisado: 07-13-24

The story took on the subject of the foster care system, depression and addiction. In my opinion, it trivialize all of that. The main character was a coward who ultimately depended on a man to swoop in and save her. 1950 called and said it wanted its social narrative back. Just ugh.

Sadly, this is my least favorite Catherine Ryan Hyde novel to date.

I found Mary, as a character, very annoying and weak. Also, the narrator for Abby's character grated on my nerves. 🤷‍♀️

This story resonated with me and rung true.

Revisado: 01-04-24

Events in this story are similar to events that I and my family experienced. So many memories unearthed for me. I am left amazed that this book should appear in my life just 5 months past my own dear sister's death and 4 months past my father's death. It has helped me to start processing my feelings about long ago events. Kudos to the author and the narrators. I thank you. ♥️

Unfortunately poor narration

Revisado: 12-06-23

This book should have been riveting. It was not, in my opinion. I could not warm up to the narrators. I found my mind wandering and had a struggle to bring it back to the story. Pity. This is an important part of our history.

Scott Stillman, ironic name. His mind never still

Revisado: 06-08-22

I was sorely disappointed with this one. The author professes to seek stillness yet his thoughts seem babbling, chaotic and in general frenetic. The narrator's voice a pace were most annoying and I was happy to reach the end of it. I love nature, hiking and all things outdoors. This book was trivial, in my opinion. I got much more on this topic from Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh's writings.

Trifling and personally slanted opinion of no use

Revisado: 04-26-22

Trifling and personally slanted opinion of no use in attempting to explain this subject. I found it to be a waste of my time. The reader's voice is monotonous and annoying.

This is the best Steinbeck I have read so far.

Revisado: 07-04-21

I am a Steinbeck fan for sure, yet somehow I have waited too long to read this book. The story is absolutely riveting and the performance by the narrator perfect. A story of good and bad, as old as humans have existed.

I could not put this book down. This is one of the best books I have listened to in Audible. Story was riveting and the performance stellar. Two thumbs up 👍 👍.

Great material unfortunate presentation.

Revisado: 03-13-21

Presented by a rather irritating personality. Too bad, as I really am interested in this subject. The narrator injected far too much of his rather obnoxious opinion in his lectures. The fact that I listened to the entire series is a tribute to my natural tendency towards tenacity rather than any particular respect I feel for the narrator. Linguistics is a science, his opinions are irrelevant and annoying, bordering on offense. Find another instructor.
