Story lines getting thin

Although the book was read well , as a fan of Martina Cole , can't help feeling that her stories are becoming predictable and plots very thin

Another great book

What made the experience of listening to Get Even the most enjoyable?

The flow of the story line was on point. plausible plot and conclusion.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Get Even?

Working out Ray was the brokers killer.

What does Annie Aldington bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Bringing the characters to life. Needs to work on the Jamaican accent though.

What a let down!

I have read all of MC books and waited with great expectation for the new release. What a let down, content was poor a lot of repetition, it never seemed to get going, the only shock was Lenny's death. I love Annie Aldington as a narrator but I felt she was just reading from the pages and was not into the story, it came across as boring and plain

Great book

enjoyed this. Martina Cole gets it right again. I enjoyed the Narrator. and listened to this almost in one go instead of a few chapters at a time

fantastic!

First time I've listened to a Martina Cole after having read many. really good and strangely involving like reading the page. Great story teller.

Publisher's Summary:

Reunited with estranged husband and undercover cop Phil Broker, Nina Pryce takes an extended medical leave from the army to recover from the injuries - physical and psychological - she sustained at the hands of a vicious psychopath. The Broker/Pryce household relocates to a remote resort town of Glacier Falls, MN, where daughter Kit is enrolled in second grade at the local elementary school. Everyone assumes that Kit is adjusting well - until she punches Terry Clump, the terror of the second grade, in the face. He gets a bloody nose and she gets suspended. What begins as a seemingly minor spat between innocent kids quickly escalates into a vicious scenario of lawlessness and provocation. Kit's imitation of her parents' violent proclivities has put them all in harm's way: the Clumps are but one-half of a notoriously vengeful "clan" known for criminal behavior and brutal violence.

Members Reviews:

I was waiting for another Broker novel.

I don't know where this was or how I missed it. I'd love to see another one. I believe Chuck is a friend of John Sandford. If you like Sandford's work you'll like Chuck Hogan just as much. They are not the same. That would be unfair to both of them...but close enough that I am hoping for more of anything from Chuck Logan. Broker would be nice but anything. And Joe Barrett is perfect as usual.

Title: Both Sides Now

Author: Barbara Ferrer

Narrator: Alex Hyde-White, Susan Hanfield

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-07-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

For fans of Elizabeth Berg's Talk Before Sleep and the novels of Jodi Picoult comes the provocative new novel from Barbara Ferrer.

In grief they find each other. Through loss they find love.

They meet in a hospital corridor. Libby is there for Ethan, her mentor, her best friend, her husband. He's dying, and she's struggling to survive. Nick is there for Katharine, his reason for living, the love of his life, his wife. She's dying, and he holds on all the tighter as she slips away from him.

They can't do this alone. But maybe they don't have to.

From that chance meeting grows a fast friendship, one of gallows humor, of life in South Florida, of shared experiences in their marriages - the fights, the quirks, the love. Libby and Nick become for each other what no one else can: the person who understands, who hears with the same ears, who sees with the same eyes. In stunning prose Barbara Ferrer maps the sacred terrain of Libby and Nick's connection as it develops from one of necessity to one of possibility.

Deep and powerful, this nuanced, elegiac portrait of two marriages, of sickness and survival, and of the healing power of human connection will resonate with listeners for years and showcases Ferrer in all of her brilliant insightfulness.

Members Reviews:

This book is about finding joy in the midst of sorrow

This book is about finding joy in the midst of sorrow, and sorrow in the midst of joy. The main characters are well-rounded and interesting, with quirks and back stories that make sense. They meet under difficult circumstances, and what happens between them is an emotional roller-coaster ride with highs, lows, and a lot of honest feeling. There's just enough detail about minor characters, setting, and background, and the writing is graceful without drawing attention away from the story. The book is told from the point of view of both characters, who each narrate separate chapters, and they each have their own, distinct voice.

It's not a happy-ever-after story. Life is not like that, and neither is this book; instead, the ending feels hard-earned and true. I'm looking forward to Ferrer's next book, Between Here and Gone, which will be out in January.

If you are looking for one-dimensional characterizations and a happily ever after ending

If you are looking for one-dimensional characterizations and a happily ever after ending, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for human characters that have flaws, but don't let them define their entire world, then I highly recommend you pick up this book. Without spoiling the plot, bad things sometimes happen to good people, and those good people have to make choices when there is no right answer. Surviving in spite of all the forces working to wear a person down; remembering that love comes in many different forms; and realizing that some things were never meant to last forever... but at the end of the day, they are still alive and life goes on.

This story absorbs you...

When you start reading this, you just get pulled in and it's hard to put it down. It's a story mostly about being human, pulling through the hardest of times, and coming full circle. It's the human plight.

It's also a story written from the supporter's point of view. How does one cope with a major medical event? Well this story will tell the tale.

Very well done!

Mature Adults in a maturing relationship.

When the stresses of being an A-list actress get too much for her, Connie Gordon decides to escape to a tiny Scottish village. But little does she realise that whilst Lochnabrae might be quiet, it's far from sleepy....

Sometimes a lie seems kinder than the truth...but what happens when that lie destroys everything you love?

When Tess is sent to photograph Greg, a high-profile paediatric heart surgeon, she sees something troubled in his face and feels instantly drawn to him. Their relationship quickly deepens, but then Tess, single mother to nine-year-old Joe, falls pregnant, and Greg is offered the job of a lifetime back in his hometown of Boston.

Members Reviews:

Torn, but ultimately worthy...

I listened to this quickly as the story intrigued me from the beginning and once I got further into the mystery of it, I just had to find out what was going to happen! There were a couple of loopholes in the story the reader may never know (although as it ended, I couldn't help but to wonder if there may be a sequel to this one). The characters were interesting, if not wholly developed. In the middle area of the story, some parts drag a bit, but then would pick up quickly again. I believe the protagonist was in denial for most of the story, as the real answer (but not the motives behind it) was quite obvious to me soon after the mystery began unravelling. The twist for me was the nature of the actual motive behind it all, which is revealed to the reader a bit too late in the story to wrap it up nicely in my opinion. The narrator's voice in general had no discernible accent to me besides American. She has a nice cadence and she did a great job reading; however, it did seem a bit off by production perhaps as the story is told from the viewpoint of Tess, the main wife and mother, who had just moved to the U.S. after having lived in Britain her entire life. I am not quite sure why a British reader wasn't chosen, but it did not ruin the story for me.

It was hard for me to put this one down, however, and I feel it was definitely worth a credit!

Um, well

The performance through me on this one. The reader seemed so nervous at the start and the trading was fast and jerky, but it definitely got better. The story seemed immature and so convoluted at the end I had to keep rewinding to try and understand what was going on.

Meh

It was just ok. I don't regret listening to it, but I'll forget about it shortly, I'm sure.

pretty good

better than average listen , kept me guessing till the end so all in all a good book.

Grating

Why did the narrator pretend to be English yet pronounce words as Americans would. I found it very off putting. One or the other but not trying to be both.

I enjoyed the story in spite of it

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Assez tôt, j'ai compris que je n'allais pas pouvoir faire grand-chose pour changer le monde. Je me suis alors promis de m'installer quelque temps, seul, dans une cabane. Dans les forêts de Sibérie. J'ai acquis une isba de bois, loin de tout, sur les bords du lac Baïkal. Là, pendant six mois, à cinq jours de marche du premier village, perdu dans une nature démesurée, j'ai tâché d'être heureux. Je crois y être parvenu.

Deux chiens, un poêle à bois, une fenêtre ouverte sur un lac suffisent à la vie. Et si la liberté consistait à posséder le temps ? Et si le bonheur revenait à disposer de solitude, d'espace et de silence - toutes choses dont manqueront les générations futures ? Tant qu'il y aura des cabanes au fond des bois, rien ne sera tout à fait perdu.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Dans une vieille édition de Paris-Soir, celle du 31 décembre 1941, le narrateur lit, par hasard, une petite annonce dans la rubrique "D'hier à aujourd'hui". On y recherche une fugueuse âgée de quinze ans, Dora Bruder. Hier, c'est le temps du Paris occupé, de l'étoile jaune, des rafles et des internements ; aujourd'hui, ce sont les dernières années du XXe siècle, quand ce passé tragique taraude les vivants.

Entre le 25 février 1926, jour de naissance de Dora, et le 13 août 1942, date de son internement au camp de Drancy, l'écrivain enquêteur recherche les étincelles de vie qui combattent l'ensevelissement par l'oubli, et les transmet à l'auditeur avec justesse et émotion.

Publisher's Summary:

It started out as an ordinary day for Esther Comely-Cox, if you consider simultaneously totaling your car, smashing a Ho Ho in your face, and meeting a handsome doctor ordinary.

Estranged from her family over her sister's mental illness and death, Esther can't help but feel alone. And when Esther hears the voice of her twin sister who committed suicide seven years ago, she begins to question her own sanity, leading her to wonder if anything is what it seems. Searching for answers, Esther must confront her past while looking towards a new future; one in which she is finally accepted.

Through humor and heartbreak, Esther learns that blood does not mean family, that absence does not make the heart grow fonder, and that silence can speak volumes.

Members Reviews:

A very emotional and beautifully written story.

This book has stolen my heart and has me thinking about how this illness has destroyed many life's. It is well written and I would suggest this book to everyone.

Depth and hunour

Dysfunctional family, mental illness, romance, humour, suspense, hot doctors and creamy cakes. A fantastic chick lit novel, a little on the darker side, that kept me guessing the whole way through with the twists and turns it took. I found Esther likable and relatable. I enjoyed Kathryn's writing style and have another of hers lined up to read already.

I listened to the audiobook edition, which I received free in exchange for an honest review. The narrator was fantastic, adding to the story.

Excellent!

If you could sum up I'm Still Here in three words, what would they be?

Held my interest.

What was one of the most memorable moments of I'm Still Here?

When Esther is sitting on the cold concrete wondering why OK didn't text her back, and Rob pulls up.

Which character as performed by Lisa Beacom was your favorite?

OK

Any additional comments?

This had a very interesting plot and the author did an excellent job of portraying the characters in depth. I felt like I knew them by the end of the book. The narrator brought all of the characters to life and did several accents very well. Highly recommended!

Great

Good story! I loved the way the story unfolded showing that family doesn't have to be bloodlines!

Good Story and Awesome narrator.

This narrator and character became one in the same. This was a sad story in many ways but with a feel good ending. Enjoy!

Pero no lo puede trasladar por tierra: solo puede hacerlo por mar, lo que obliga a Mameli a idear un complicado itinerario para llegar a destino.

Macabras y extrañas muertes suceden a bordo y empujan al capitán a examinar el contenido del arcón. Dentro descubre un misterio que hará cambiar el rumbo de su travesía y la fidelidad a su clienta. Se encamina entonces a la búsqueda de El umbral del bosque, un antiguo libro oculto en las remotas y congeladas tierras de Escandinavia, que ha dado comienzo a la Noche de Cuatrocientos Años y que maldice al reino de Noruega, llevando a la repentina extinción de sus reyes. El libro deja también al descubierto el antiguo mito del drävulia.Una historia marcada por sangrías, engaños y un amor prohibido, sellados por la muerte. La nueva audio novela de Patricio Sturlese, autor de El inquisidor y La sexta vía.

Opiniones de los miembros:

Sagaz. Veloz. Intrépida. Sensual. Contundente y apasionada.

1. Opinión General: Sagaz. Veloz. Intrépida. Sensual. Contundente y apasionada. Esta obra está muy bien escrita y relatada de tal forma, que uno no cesa de escanciar las páginas sobre el ojo de la mente. La aventura es excelente y lo lleva a uno desde la ciudad preciosa de Venecia hasta el desierto Gobi y al bosque gélido de Escandinavia. Los datos geográficos e históricos son un detalle que se aprecia muchísimo a lo largo de la obra, pues ayuda muchísimo a pintar el ambiente gótico que la obra nos desea mostrar.

El personaje principal es un mercante/pirata y negociante astuto que además es muy observador, Pier Ugo Mameli. Pier es un veneciano que viaja alrededor de las Europas en busca de la fortuna, lentamente comprendiendo que la fortuna que más busca es aquella del amor, de un amor silente que lo ha dejado aflechado desde el día que cupido osó en clavarle una saeta.

La aventura se desliza por varios recovecos de la Europa gótica, aquella que todos los amantes de lo oscuro y lo misterioso aman, al mismo tiempo brindando una deliciosa cantidad de detalles del entorno que lo embelesan a uno con su candor y misterio.

Lo que le espera al lector entre la entraña de esta obra gótica y apasionada es algo que tendrá que descubrir por sí mismo, pues de ninguna manera deseo estropearle la obra.

2. Elementos Góticos y Místicos: Si bien esta obra no es una de literatura fantástica, los elementos góticos y ficticios que aparecen a lo largo de ella son poderosos en su manera de engatusar al lector. Lastimosamente, no puedo expandir mucho más lo que aparece como elemento gótico, pues el lector podrá ver cómo galantemente le estropeo la obra.
