Story
Of all of John Irving's books, this is the one that lends itself best to audio. In print, Owen Meany's dialogue is set in capital letters; for this production, Irving himself selected Joe Barrett to deliver Meany's difficult voice as intended. In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys – best friends – are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary and terrifying.

Story
The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it - from garden seeds to Scripture - is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family’s tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.

Now she’s re-appeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the internet, and inflames a politically divided country. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart.

The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

Boy, am I in the minority on this one.

Publisher's summary
"Mine is a story of craving: an unreliable account of lusts and troubles that began, somehow, in 1956 on the day our free television was delivered...."
Meet Dolores Price. She's 13, wise-mouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood goodbye. Beached like a whale in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the Mallomars, potato chips, and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally rolls into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before really going belly-up.
In this extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb invites us to hitch a wild ride on a journey of love, pain, renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years. At once a fragile girl and a hard-edged cynic, so tough to love yet so inimitably lovable, Dolores is as poignantly real as our own imperfections. She's Come Undone includes a promise: you will never forget Dolores Price.

Wise, funny, affectionate and true, Ellen Foster is, as Walker Percy called it, "The real thing. Which is to say, a lovely, sometimes heart/wrenching novel...."

Story
When Brenda Kay is born in 1943, Jewel gives thanks for a healthy baby, last-born and most welcome. Jewel is the story of how quickly a life can change; how, like lightning, an unforeseen event can set us on a course without reason or compass. In this story of a woman's devotion to the child who is both her burden and God's singular way of smiling on her, Bret Lott has created a mother-daughter relationship of matchless intensity and beauty, and one of the finest, most indomitable heroines in contemporary American fiction.

Beautiful, sad, and hilarious!

Which character – as performed by Linda Stephens – was your favorite?
Obviously Dolores Price...she remains strong
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book did make me cry, especially at the end.

Very good, but not quite great.
This is a story that is greatly enhanced by the narration. I preferred Angle of Repose for its content, but Linda Stevens' performance makes this one almost as good a listen. The story is a bit predictable, but the character development mostly makes up for the somewhat lackluster, obvious, and overused themes and devices. I wouldn't listen to it again, but I do recommend it and I'll listen to more by the same author.

Couldn't stop listening.
I really enjoyed the story. It was dark at times but also had some humor. It kept me hooked, wanting to know what happens to Delores. I thought the narrator did a wonderful job.

Amazing
I bet I've read this book ten times in the past twenty years. Everytime I read it I get something new. This is the first time I've had it read to me and the first time I've heard Delores's story since becoming a mother. If you have never read a book by Wally Lamb I highly suggest picking one up. We are Water or I know This Much is True are two other great books that he has written.

depressing and disturbing
This was a wild card read for me. I had no expectations going in, but I come from a family with some mental illness so I gave it a shot. The story was vividly descriptive of the era represented and very believable. The insights were realistic and painful through most of the story. However, it seemed that the author felt obligated to end on an upbeat note, which was so counter to the entire book as to seem forced.

Wonderful
One of my favorite books of all time. It’s narrator Linda does a wonderful job. The book is such a great story following someone throughout their life and while deeply hurt and flawed you can’t help but love! To see her journey and triumph was a beautiful experience and I feel it’s a must read for all young men and women.

many of life's challenges
She's come undone deeply examines a plethora of life's challenges although the plot becomes a bit monotonous at points.

i enjoyed reading the book in most part, although the book could have been cut by 20%, by omitting the details in most areas.

Still processing
I liked book, but am still processing
What I liked and disliked about the book. I do like that the book did not answer all my questions, but that's reality of most of our lives. Still thinking about Delores' feelings or lack thereof around her father's death, or fully understanding the connection she had with her mother's best friend, or the strain an tension with her grandmother.
I liked Delores' sarcasm
And enjoyed witnessing her softening as the book went on. Interesting.
