Exceptional

If only all books were this good. The narration was spot on. I am different for having listened to this story.

Thought Provoking

I like how Jodi Picoult takes current issues and produces an emotional fictional account. The Storyteller is all that but a little bit more. The different perspectives she includes are so thought provoking that I continue to consider them even after finishing the book. Although I have read Picoult's more recent books, they had lost some of their edge for me. They had become somewhat predictable and familiar. The Storyteller is my new Jodi Picoult favorite. I highly recommend this book and already have to my friends and family.

Wow.

This was one of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to. The book was intricate and inspiring, and the book was read by an entire cast of performers all of whom portrayed their characters beautifully.

Great story!

An intertwining of three stories. A reminder that we are each morally responsible for our actions. Wonderful narrators make it a great listen.

This is not my usual genre of books, but loved it!

How Jodi Picoult weaved the story between different characters was masterful. The book had me connected to the characters as they went through their obstacles, conflicts, trial and tribulations. Very much enjoyed it.

Incredible!

I loved this book. The details are captivating and the storyline was amazing. So many emotions are felt while you try to digest the multifaceted stories that are told by Jodi Picoult. She definitely does an outstanding job recounting the Holocaust, and brings to light so many details that it's heart wrenching. I loved this book and can't give enough praise and recommendations.

Bittersweet but beautiful

The storyline is pretty interesting, sad at times because of the main them but I enjoyed it still. Would have preferred slightly different outcomes and happier endings but that’s Jodi for you right there. Expect the unexpected

A beautiful story

I absolutely loved this book. Picoult does an amazing job of showing the reader all sides of an experience- in this case, WW2, certainly one of the most difficult times in the history of our world. I will miss these characters now that I’m finished and I’ll remember them for a long time.
