So this isn’t the Penderwicks in Spring, and it’s the same with “…At Last”: it’s Batty in spring and Lydia at last . So that’s frustrating, but why why why did you think that making Batty think she killed her mom and hound? It’s just is sooo dumb. I love the bits that didn’t involve that, but my favorite character is Skye and she was barely in it.

The plot in all the Penderwicks is fun but man does Jeanne birdsall not know how kids work it is more apparent in the other ones I really love this series but it can be VERY frustrating but would recommend if you want a fun audio book but it feels like a worse little woman so listen to this series then try little woman if you enjoyed this.

Alex Jennings brings a lovely sensibility to the words of the psalms. It is a delight to listen to.

A Man Called Ove Audiobook By Fredrik Backman cover art

Touching

This story is both hilariously funny and deeply poignant. It’s about how growing old is not the same growing, but how both can happen together, if the fates allow.

The reader does an excellent job of conveying both the tone of Ove’s view of the world and how others respond to him.

I hate amnesia stories...

Even though I love these books, the amnesia storyline is annoying, and creates a pointless stress on the characters. They're in a war against a military genius--surely that is stressful enough!

A very touching story, bringing to life the great struggles, bravery, horror, and glory of the Second World War. Excellent.

Any additional comments?

This is a fabulous intersection of history and sci-fi. The characters are well-drawn, the settings believable, and the story magnificently strange. The reader did a very nice job at conveying the tone of the book, giving it excellent depth. However, and this is a big, big however, he can't read the frequent German words worth a darn, which becomes a major distraction and detraction from the overall performance. I just wish that he'd read up a tiny bit on the pronunciation.
