A heart warming read!

Review: I totally didn't know what to expect coming into this book. Alexandra brown is an auto buy author for me and so I didn't even read the blurb before reading-sometimes that's the best way don't you think? Anyway, what I found was a lovely heart-warming read that's great at this time of year but would be perfect for a reread at any time of year! This book has gorgeous characters, a fab setting and true Fairytale storyline!

I loved the setting in Tindledale, it's like Sybs literally leaves the problems and the hustle and bustle of London behind and travels to a magical land, the Narnia-sequel village of Tindledale! It's got it all,the hunky doctor, the village gossip and the pivotal village pub! I love the link between Sybs and her friend Cher in the village and then when she finds the knitting shop-meant to be! All the characters in the novel are great, I love Sybs and her determination, I love her friendship with Cher and Hetty is a great edition to her circle of people. Ben is a great love interest and Alexandra brown has written in all the usual quirky characters you would find in a small country village, eccetentric and yet believeable!

The storyline is very much a fairy story yet with reality built into it. It has romance and Rama, a bit of mystery and a lot of heart warming moments.

Bought accidentally. Returning. Unbearable.

Thought this was a different book, but when I started listening decided to give it a shot. I'm returning it because I CANNOT STAND JOSHUA'S VOICE ACTOR. He's like an even brattier Luke Skywalker than Luke himself. Just Ugh! Story may be interesting but I didn't keep it long enough to find out, so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.

Title: The Ferryman

Subtitle: 8 Crossings to a Gentler Life

Author: Thomas William Simpson

Narrator: Kevin M. Connolly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-07-14

Publisher: Simpson Books

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

This short tale about a man's desire to live a different kind of life unfolds during a single day. At the crack of dawn the ferryman opens his eyes to find an impatient businessman nudging him with his foot. The businessman demands they cross the river. Immediately. Right this second. Not a minute to spare.

The ferryman rises and offers tea and scones. The businessman says he has no time for tea and scones. He needs to reach the other side. Progress and profits depend on it.

The ferryman understands. Before becoming a simple ferryman he had been a striver bristling with ambition, always angling to close the next deal. He had manipulated and deceived to accomplish his aims. He had believed material wealth the only true measure of success.

But he cannot just yet haul the businessman across the river. He must wait for the old woman. The old woman is sick and needs to see the doctor on the other side.

The Ferryman is an amusing and tender tale that attempts to shine a wide light on what might actually matter in life. Yes, we have our necessities: food and shelter, security and transportation. But what beyond these basics truly has relevance?

Thomas William Simpson is the author of such diverse novels as The Immortal, Full Moon Over America, The Fingerprints of Armless Mike, This Way Madness Lies, and Annie's War.

His curiosity for the human condition, as evidenced in The Ferryman, knows no bounds.

This jewel of a book should come in a robins egg blue Tiffany box

After reading "The Ferryman", I found myself wishing Amazon had a 6th star to give out.

I'm 72 + years old and can't ever remember taking the time to write a review of anything I either bought or read. I didn't even bother to tell Nabokov, Dostoevsky or Gibran how much I enjoyed reading "Lolita", "Crime and Punishment" and "The Prophet" and the changes I would have made to their classics. Yes, Virginia, I am enjoying my later years and the reward of being an unrepentant lazy senior citizen. After all, we do get discounts, right?

After reading "The Ferryman" my chronic lethargy took a much needed time out. I felt obligated as a father and responsible adult to turn off the TV, get out of my Lazy Boy recliner and share my impressions of this wonderful little book with others.

The ferryman tells us about his " 8 Crossings to a Gentler Life" as he travels back and forth across a mythical river. His story of revelation is told in a simple, concise and thought provoking manner. To say that the writing and presentation of these 8 crossings is superb in it's power and clarity would be an understatement. I've bought my share of how to live your life books over the years, but none of them had the import and staying power of "The Ferryman".

Apparently, Mr. Simpson spent many years writing and condensing this book in his head. How else could any writer have taken what could have been 8 boring volumes of wisdom dealing with the lessons of life and condensed it into less than 150 can't put the book down pages? The less is more principle prevails throughout this remarkable little (in pages only) book.

Personally, "The Ferryman" took me longer to read than I had anticipated. This was because of the many times I set the book down to reflect on the wisdom the ferryman had gleaned from his earlier life.

Literatura queer, novela metaficcional, texto autobiográfico, narrativa que dialoga con los discursos cinematográficos e historiográficos, El Filo De Tu Piel puede denominarse de todas estas maneras. Pero, más allá de cualquier clasificación, lo que cautiva al oyente de manera irresistible es la fluidez con que transcurre la narración; el modo en que José Ignacio Valenzuela hace de la palabra escuchada el medio más eficaz para transformar, relatar y reinventar la realidad.

Members Reviews:

Wonderful short story

I started listening to this in the middle of a rainy blustery night whilst camping in pembrokeshire. I recommend you also listen to it on a cold wet day. though infront of a fire.

the music really adds to the story. and I always live listening to Neil Gaiman read. he reads beautifully.

SHORT BUT USUAL GAIMAN QUALITY

Neil Gaiman has set expectations very high for everything he writes, anything that falls short of brilliant will be a let down.

This book was not a let down, it had the interesting characters and storyline which keeps you wanting more. The length makes it more like a short story than something that you can lose yourself in, and I found myself aware that the story was drawing to a conclusion from very early into it.

This is a must for Gaiman fans and a good introduction for those seeing if they would enjoy his work.

Loved the story, found the music intrusive

What a fantastic tale - I loved this story, so immersive and beautifully written. But the music ruined this audio book for me - I found it intrusive and distracting, too loud against the reading, and quite jarring at times. I wish there was a version without it :/

Could of been perfect

I love Neil Gaiman's stories and I love them even more when he narrates them but this one just didn't work for me the accompanying music was just a bit too loud sometimes jarred with Neil's voice. Sorry Neil... I did like the story though quite creepy.

Love Neil but far too short for what it cost!

Classic Gaimen folklore but just feels like it's the first chapter. Great rythm and music though!
