Texas females should not sound like Gomer Pyle

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Probably not in audio version. Horrible narration.

What did you like best about this story?

Story okay.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Johanna Parker?

I don't know. Anybody that wouldn't be a constant distraction trying to make a character sound southern...and just making her sound stupid...or exactly like Gomer Pyle.

Do you think Word Gets Around needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

probably not...

Vet bad Texan accents

They accents sounded almost like a parody of Southerners. It was a little insulting actually. Chosen narrators for a book full of Southern accents should be read by someone with one to be authentic instead of fake.

The plot fell flat

I was excited to read this book, it looked cute and I listen to lots of christian books. This one fell short of my expecations. The author spent to much time delving into the problems of both leads of the book. The idea of the story was fun, but all energy seemed to go into talking about their demons and very little time into the plot. I would look for another read and not spend my money on this one.

Good story

It was a good story. I enjoyed it very much. I loved how Nate and Laren’s lives were being change by the Lord’s awaking to the truth.

Heartwarming story showing how Gods love is always present even in the most dire circumstances…how recognizing His love is a healing Power indeed.

Refreshing

I really enjoy listening to Lisa Windgates books. Interesting, faith injected into the characters, and 3-D characters. They are also uplifting.
