The Narrator Ruins an Okay, Boring Story

I wish I had not purchased this book. It needs an editor. The story itself is difficult to follow and the narrator is horrible, I could not finish this book. Ugh

Interesting novel; well written and beautifully performed. The theme centers on the complications of a marriage undone by the death of a child.

This story is primarily focused on the child abuse of three young girls growing up in an abusive foster care home. It is hard to stomach. No real mystery here just lots of abuse.

Story is probably great if you are a high school student. Clearly written for an adolescent audience.

Wow. This book was a massive disappointment and a wasted credit. I listened to a previous book by this author that was very good and thought I would try another one. Zero storyline, flat narration. Seems to be about nothing.

Sorry, but this book is ridiculous. I don't know how it was published. The writer stretches into every possible theme in this boring book.

Freida McFadden consistently writes tight psychological mysteries. This was a good-enough one but not one of my favorites.

This book had potential, but every single detail was so long and drawn out that it was very difficult to get through. Very, very slow.

This book was so confusing. All the way to the end. Not sure why people have written such great reviews.

The narration was good. The mystery was mired in way too many words. Very slow.
