A Pleasurable Listen

I enjoyed all three audiobooks in this series (Love Comes Softly, Love's Enduring Promise and Love's Long Journey) and hope the same narrator will continue in this series. I found her voice quite easy to listen to and especially appreciated her differnt voices for different characters.
The best way I can describe this book (and the whole series for that matter) would be the feminine and Christian equivalent of many Louis L'Amour novels. With vivid descriptions of life on the frontier - I came away with a deep appreciation for women's contribution to frontier life survival and for the value of faith in each character's lives.

skip this, book's wonderful, but horrible voice

she sounds like a kindergarten teacher teaching to a bunch of 5 year olds.
and the different voices sound like 3 and 4 year olds, instead of adults.

performance terrible

The reader pauses and gulps and smacks her lips throughout the whole performance. If I didn't love this book so much I would send it back.

The reader sounds like she has a mouthful of spit.

The reader sounds like she has a mouthful of spit. The voices all sound horrible as well.

pretty good story

I'm not a big fan of the reader but the story was a good one. Its nice to listen to something wholesome.

Janette Oke is the BEST!!

Any additional comments?

I've read all of Love Comes Softly; I've watched the whole series on DVD. Now that I am visually impaired, Audio Books are truly a blessing.

loved this story.

I enjoyed the story, I've read many of the books. I feel though that the reader was not as effective in the telling of the story.

Good story, narrator not my favorite.

I really wish there was an option to listen to this book from a different narrator. It takes a lot for me to complain but the wet mouth sounds almost ruined it for me. I have always loved this series and it bums me out to have a negative experience with it. If I am listening with my headphones, it is absolutely awful. I have to put my phone on speaker to listen and it’s still gross but not as bad. 5 stars for the book, 1 for the narrator.

Love this series!

One of my favorite series. Janette Oke is my favorite author. Do glad it's on Audible

It’s YOU in this story

This wonderful book will have you , as you read it , pick out your favorite character and as you hear the wonderful narration you will BECOME your favorite character. You will laugh , cry, feel lonely, feel elated. You will truly feel as if you lived this story for real. You hear their prayers and think “ that prayer could be used for my life today even”.
It keeps you wishing it would never end. This whole series makes you feel this way. Do yourself a favor and read this series. Thank you to Janette Oke for writing such a wonderful story and to Ruth Ann Phimister a HUGE thank you for using the voice and the God given talent you have for making each character real .
