"Better than I expected"
I would recommend this to women friends and young adults. It is chick lit, in my opinion.
Kate Rudd brings a more honest picture of living with cancer than most books/movies.
Living with cancer
This book is a bit hard to get into. The main character is a sarcastic teenager in a trite way, not an interesting way. However, as the story developes, her honesty and unique view are an asset to the story.
"Narrator ruined the story."
OK. I'm disappointed. The narrators sing-songy style narration ruined this book for me. She also had such poor phrasing that often the story didn't make sense.
"Good read. A bit dated."
Colin Firth! There is no better and he completely adds to the tone of the story. The story itself is intriguing until it gets to the motivations of the object of the affair. That part seems unrealistic, bordering on silly.
"Fun book"
I loved the main character and the relationships in the story.
I liked the main character and his twin sister. Both were flawed in very different ways, but put them together and they were hilarious.
This is a light, fun book. It also has very touching moments. I would recommend it, hands down.
"It's really a book for teens and tweens"
I like the flow. Disaster strikes. The Earth has shifted on its axis causing a steady stream of problems. However, adjustments are made and life continues.
The constant angst expressed by the young main character got old pretty quick. The stream of consequences that follow such a major event was very interesting.
"Great listen"
This book is unique. Its images and story are unlike anything I have read. The line between fantasy and reality is blurred in an interesting, compelling way. The reader adds to the book.
The sheepman says, "Dance, dance, dance while you can".
The reader is excellent.
"First 40+ hour book I've managed to get through!!!"
The story & narration were quite engaging.
The narration suited the characters, careful and precise. I know that others found the narration too slow, but in my mind it added to the story.
"Light, fun"
Yes. This is a laugh out loud audio book.
I loved it when she described her infamous parents.
She seems to completely enjoy telling her story.
Yes. The book itself is hilarious and the narration is too.
"A Different Approach"
I would recommend this audiobook. Its such a welcome change from other weightloss approaches.
The focus is not on self-discipline, but rather self acceptance as well as changing the role that food plays in one's life.
The guided meditations and self-hypnosis sessions are provided in the audiobook. They are easy to access.
"Funny and light"
I would listen to this again. It is a fun book with engaging narration.
I love it when Carrie talks about her Mother.
This is a fun, light book. It gives a light look into the lives of the rich and famous. I laughed outloud many times. Carrie Fisher doesn't take herself too seriously and is able to tease out the absurdity in her life circumstances.
"Excellent"
Yes. Anne Hathaway does a great job with the narration. It makes the book even more fun.
I loved the voices that she gave the characters. She also gave a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the overall narration. She seems to have love & affection for this book:-)
This is an excellent version of The Wizard of Oz. I purchased another audible version when my (now teenaged) kids were young and we could not finish it. This is a fun, imaginative book and Anne's reading enhances the story.
