"Entertaining light reading"
Excellent - entertaining and funny. Really enjoyed it. If you are familiar with London its even better as it mentions a lot of well known tourist spots and shops.
"Held my interest - Shutter Island type story"
This was a good story and well read. Nice and long and held my interest with well developed characters and plot. If you like Shutter Island you'll enjoy this.
"Fantastic story, riveting and unusual concept"
I really enjoyed this. It was interesting, believable and well read. Characters were believable as was the actual concept of the story.
"Great story let down by mispronounciation"
This was a funny and entertaining story and the narrator gave it great character but her pronounciation left a lot to be desired and was rather distracting. Once I heard one word pronounced incorrectly, I seemed to be drawn to listening for the other mistakes. Fracas, gnocchi, Hubert Givenchy, Trevi Fountain and Lacroix are all quite well known but were mangled by the narrator.
"Lovely book, entertaining and holds your interest"
This was a great little book. It was read well, the story was entertaining and interesting and unusual. I really enjoyed it even though it is a children's book.
"loved this book"
This was a great story, well written and read. Characters were very believable and had depth and personality. Nice long story, I was sorry to get to the end. Concept was also believable and interesting. My dogs got extra walks just so I could take my iphone and listen to the next few chapters!
"riveting"
Loved this book. Kept me interested the whole way through. Characters were real, story was believable and intriguing. I was sorry when it finished.
"What Alice Forgot"
Really enjoyed this book. It was engaging, the characters were well described and realistic. In book form I would have found it hard to put down.
"Funny but way too short"
I found this entertaining and easy listening but it ended far too soon. Carrie is 52 when she writes the book, there has to be more to her life than this 3 hours. Some of her jokes are a little too close to the bone and may offend some, also sometimes it seemed like she was just about to get to the really good gossip and inside stories when the subject changed.
"Enjoyable and interesting"
Excellent stor. Kept me interested, and was nice and long (lasted lots of trips to the gym!). I really enjoyed this, written with a very different perspective - not of a man's three wives but of the women married to the same man at different stages of his life. Believable and realistic.
"sad but repetitive"
Obviously a tragic story, unfortunately the telling of it left a lot to be desired. It was repetitive and seemed characterless. The extreme abuse was probably accepted by the writer as something he had to just deal with but the story was so bland I didn't even bother listening to the end.
