A Grown-up Kind of Pretty was wonderful. I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks and this one is first rate.

I generally hate it when authors read their own books, they often ruin what would be an otherwise wonderful book, not so this one. Joshilyn Jackson makes this book sing!

My first thought when I listened to the sample of this book was

I really wanted to like this book. The narration really brought the characters to life, but the story was just too slow moving for me.

I enjoyed Killing Kennedy and Bill O'Reilly's narration of it. But I could barely get through this. One of my big pet peeves in life is when someone mixes up Cavalry and Calvary and Bill O'Reilly does it about 1000 times in this book. I guess that makes him not a patriot but a pinhead.

The story was very good. A lot of disparate threads all come together in the end.

Maybe. At first I thought "This is the worst narrator EVER." As I got used to him the experience improved. I don't think he was the best choice for this book, but it didn't ruin it for me either.

Rafe. Because he grew so much during the course of events.

I am very familiar with Marcus Grodi from his radio and television programs. I read the first book in this sequence, "How Firm a Foundation" and liked it, so I was glad to see they are now available in audio format.

Although I didn't care for the sappiness of this book, the narrator was very good, and made it much more palatable than it would have been in written form.

If this had been clearly labeled as Christian Fiction I would have stayed away. I am a Christian and I really don't like the sappy and generally trite stories that this genre generates. It was recommended to me on goodreads because of other titles I had read and was not clearly labeled as a

The synopsis led me to believe this was about the hunt for a lost U.S. Constitution. Instead I got a catalog of strange sexual perversions. Don't listen if you don't have the stomach for it.

It's timeless. Although it was written in 1859 it stands the test of time.

This book is written as first person accounts by several different characters. Having a different narrator for each character really made it enjoyable!

Absolutely! I found the character of Elizabeth Deveraux fascinating.

Dick Hill is one of my favorite narrators. I will consider listening to anything he narrates.

I didn't have a favorite, but I loved the way the lives of so many characters intertwined so unexpectedly around a single historical event.

Paul Michael was the perfect choice to narrate this book.

Who would have thought that a book about a presidential assassination, in which we all know the outcome, could be so enthralling?

I love epic histories that follow families over a period of time, and this one was exceptionable.

Definitely Victor Henry. But the narrator did an excellent job with all the characters, especially since there were so many different accents involved.

I was on pins and needles to see who would make it through Pearl Harbor.

This book covers the events leading up to the United States involvement in WWII. It is not dry history. Although some historical narrative is necessary to provide the backdrop to what the characters are going through, the author handles it with a unique method that makes it much more interesting.
