Great Series!!

I really enjoyed each book in this series and especially enjoyed the references to Scripture.

Narration

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The naration for this series is horrible.

What didn’t you like about Virginia Leishman’s performance?

She sounds like she has something in her mouth. It is difficult to get past it.

a lovely wrap up

I'm very sad to see these characters go. I've grown to love all of them. I wish to have seen them all the way through to the end but alas it is a book

I enjoyed the book, but detested the performance

Would you try another book from Lori Wick and/or Virginia Leishman?

I love this series! I love Lori Wick! I have never read a book of hers that I haven't liked. However, the performance by Virginia Leishman left a lot to be desired. Now don't get me wrong, her style of reading was good for the most part, and the various voices that she used for the different characters was also good, it was the noises that she kept making with her mouth while she was reading that drove me insane. Every time she made one of those noise I wanted to cringe. At one point during this book, it got so bad that I almost gave up on the entire series when I realized she read all the books. The noises that she made almost sounded like chewing or like she was swishing the spit in her mouth around. It was just gross and I believe I will stick to reading these on Kindle from now on.

How could the performance have been better?

If you could get Virginia Leishman to not make all those disgusting noises with her mouth. The performance would've been at least four stars.

Do you think The Pursuit needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I honestly would have enjoyed to read books on some of the other members of the families now that the kids are all grown up and getting married, however, Lori Wick ended this series in such a way that you aren't pining for more from this series.
