Rambling character

I was disappointed with ending. Throughout the book there is a progression and the reader expects a satisfying conclusion. There wasn’t one.

Loved this fabulous inspiring book. Sometimes I had trouble understanding the reader but that is actually part of the overall theme.

Tensions during the Yalta Conference in February 1945 threatened to tear apart the wartime alliance among Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin just as victory was close at hand. Catherine Grace Katz uncovers the dramatic story of the three young women who were chosen by their fathers to travel with them to Yalta, each bound by fierce family loyalty, political savvy, and intertwined romances that powerfully colored these crucial days.

This book just grew on me. At first I thought, okay you are filming a documentary. Then I would gasp and say No No…
Very good mystery.

Bonnie and Clyde, they thought. And what's-his-name, the sidekick. Three teenagers with dead-end lives, and chips on their shoulders, and guns. The first person they killed was a highway patrolman. The second was a woman during a robbery. Then, hell, why not keep on going? As their crime spree cuts a swath through rural Minnesota, some of it captured on the killers' cell phones and sent to a local television station, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigator Virgil Flowers joins the growing army of cops trying to run them down.

about a b or b minus

His narration brings Virgil Flowers to life and that is what makes listening worthwhile
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no
Any additional comments?
just nice escapism

Three people living lives they never wanted, hiding secrets that even those closest to them would never suspect, will find that the past never truly fades away. Even as the terrible consequences of long-ago events crash together in the present and threaten to ruin lives, they will come to the startling realization that they may not want to forget the past at all.

Why did I think I liked Harlan Coben novels?

- De: Harlan Coben
- Narrado por: Scott Brick
love coben, but not this book
Revisado: 03-31-12
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Harlan Coben is usually laugh out loud funny and there are moments when his language is delightful. I just didn't like the story. None of the characters appealed, were at all deep, or drawn so that we took a deep interest.
What could Harlan Coben have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
less gruesome
Would you be willing to try another one of Scott Brick’s performances?
yes. I usually consider any book he narrates, but somehow he is awkward or maybe his emphasis in this reading is just not believable. sometimes I would just groan at his emphasis.

Lisa See has brilliantly illuminated the potent bonds of mother love, romantic love, and love of country. Now, in her most powerful novel yet, she returns to these timeless themes, continuing the story of sisters Pearl and May from Shanghai Girls, and Pearl’s strong-willed nineteen-year-old daughter, Joy.

China--how could we let this happen?
Revisado: 07-08-11
Be sure to read Shanghai girls first. I listened to it again before listening to Dreams of Joy.
Shocking. What a waste that so many have to struggle just to live simply. The power of those who wish to
enslave others at any expense.

In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.
