This book was a slog for me. After listening to about half of it, I gave up. Not my type of read.

I just couldn’t get through this slog of a book.

A page turner

It wasn’t to my liking.

I really didn’t think I’d like this strange story, but Ann Pachett’s fine writing and development of characters drew me in. As another reader mentioned, the story ended rather abruptly, and I wished it kept on going.

This book didn't grab my attention, so I abandoned it.

This is such a compassionate and practical book for everyone. Gary writes of his own grief journey as he helps others. Being a teacher for 30 years and losing my husband, my best friend, over 20 years ago makes me appreciate how clear and true Gary’s words are. Sage wisdom and kind comfort are found here.

Maya's Angelou was a remarkable woman - as was her mother. I like her poetry, and I like listening to her read her poetry much better than listening to her read this memoir.

A delightful young adult book. Ms. L’Engle was such a good author.

I could only tolerate about 4 discs of the audiobook- it was too gritty for me and I didn’t have any desire to find out why the characters turned out to be the miserable people they were.

I decided to not finish it.

I have enjoyed David Sedaris' other books, but I just could not get into this one.

What an encouragement to make me reflect on what I am doing and not doing with my life! Mother Teresa was the world's most humble hero.
