Critic reviews

"The Miss Julia series is an audiophile's dream; the novels seem to have been created just for audio." (The Denver Post)

Married at last!!!!

This is one of my favorites in the series. Miss Julia and her "extended family" have become a part of my life....seriously!! Love you Ann Ross. You absolutely may not retire....ever!!

Miss Julia

Maybe I was just in the right frame of mind, but I thought the story was just adorable. I’ll listen to it again.

Great book!

I really enjoyed this book and find myself thinking in the southern twang that makes up this book. It took a bit for me to get used to and excited about the older character with such high morals but very quickly I found myself enjoying it. I will say that I think younger "readers" may find it a bit too stuffy. Again, I really enjoyed it and plan on getting the whole series.

Loved every minute of this series!

What did you love best about Miss Julia's School of Beauty?

A nice easy listen, enjoyable and made me laugh. Loved every one and was sorry when I got the the last book.

Enjoyed the pageant but…

Thought the whole bit about losing Sam was silly and repetitious. Least fave of the series.
