The Sweetest Story

Revisado: 01-14-25

I loved everything about this book! Older people are portrayed as real people with feelings and interests and not as stereotypes. The inter generational friendship is heartwarming. The story is beautiful and perfectly paced. The narrators were outstanding!

Good story, terrible narration

Revisado: 11-30-24

I enjoyed the story, but I would have enjoyed it more if I had read it instead of listening to it. The narrator had an annoying sing song cadence and his voice for the little girl made me cringe.

Not for me

Revisado: 11-24-24

I did not enjoy the story very much. I found the characters overly dramatic, a little whiny, and I became frustrated with them making the same bad decisions repeatedly. I did not enjoy the narration at all. The narrator had an accent not in keeping with the characters, and there was an odd cadence to her reading.

Very interesting story, great character development, wonderful descriptions without being too wordy. I enjoyed everything about this book and look forward to more by this author. The narrator was terrific, too!

Good Story, Poor Performance

Revisado: 09-10-23

The story was interesting with a little bit of mystery, a little romance, and a good family saga. I had difficulty listening to the breathy, sing song delivery of the narrator, however. It seemed she was constantly distressed and on the verge of tears. That would be appropriate for some parts of the story, but having the entire book delivered in that style became very tiresome for me.

Don’t Need to be a Gamer to Enjoy it

Revisado: 01-08-23

Being a person in my 60s, I wasn’t sure that I would enjoy a book that featured video games and their creators. But the book is so much more than that. The characters seem so real and have such depth. The story is very original and does not follow the formulaic patterns of so many books. Don’t worry if you don’t get the gaming references or slang. It is ultimately a book about people and anyone can relate to that.

Lisette Lecat

Revisado: 10-04-22

Thank you so much for bringing back Lisette Lecat to narrate the book. She is the voice of Mma. Ramotswe to me! The story was like sinking into a comfortable chair and visiting with dear friends.

Best Book of the Year!

Revisado: 08-14-22

I loved this book so much! It was an engaging, original story. The author’s writing style was perfect - vivid descriptions, very well-developed characters, great pace. Each character was portrayed as a human being with both admirable traits and flaws, making good decisions and poor ones, so that you could relate to them easily. Because of this I laughed, cried, became outraged for them, and cheered for them. I couldn’t wait to see what happened next, yet I didn’t want the book to end. The author also did a fantastic job narrating the book. I highly recommend this book and hope there will be more from Blair Fell.

Fantastic book!

Revisado: 08-29-21

Though set in the 1930s, the theme of prejudice against people who are different is just as relevant today. The author used wonderfully descriptive language so the reader feels fully immersed in the scenes. The characters are so vivid that I felt I knew them and cared about them. The narrator did a fantastic job of speaking in the appropriate dialect of the time. I enjoyed this book immensely and can’t wait for the sequel.

Just okay

Revisado: 07-06-21

I read the Summer of 69 and enjoyed it, but did not remember the characters or plot well enough for this continuation. Therefore, the story became a jumble of characters interacting throughout several hours following the death of the family’s matriarch. There was not enough depth to the characters or storyline to care about what happened.
