Brilliant narration

Revisado: 09-23-20

Brilliant narration of a wonderful story. The characters were brought to life with Mexican history background, including the flu epidemic of 1917-18. I absolutely loved it. I paced myself to not finish too quickly and savored each chapter.

Complex story that kept me hooked

Revisado: 08-28-17

Intertwined characters maintained a common thread that kept me interested to the end. A different kind of story, for sure, with people you get to know and like.

Don't give up, you will be rewarded.

The beginning reflects Patsy's young narrative, that of a child, that comes across as fake. But soon I was drawn into her mind and life as a young woman maturing into an old lady. Her story is spellbinding

Too many characters

Revisado: 05-04-17

Well written and fun but had too many characters. New ones were introduced just as I was getting comfortable with a bunch and settling in. This happens throughout the story.

Fun adventure with great characters

Revisado: 06-06-16

Not as good as Strangler Vine, but fun continuation of Blake and Avery's friendship. Also, interesting history of early 1800 English politics.

Gave it 2 hours, couldn't continue

What disappointed you about All Things New?

I couldn't care less about the characters or what happened to them.

What was most disappointing about Lynn Austin’s story?

I was interested in the details of southern living after the Civil War and how hard it was for them to accept the changes to their lives. I was also interested in the choices the slaves had and how different families adapted, but the complete ignorance of how to even dress oneself, and the insisistence of running a household the same way without slave help got tiresome.

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

Narrator was fine with accents and character representation. It was the writing and the story that didn't hold my interest.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Story seemed trite and it was frustrating to listen to.

Kept me going until the end.

I loved the flow of so much story. Well written with fresh themes. It goes on and on but with surprising turns along the way.
The narration was outstanding
