A Common Life: The Wedding Story Audiobook (Unabridged)

" As one reviewer said, it does fill in some gaps, but like many others, I don't think this book is as good as Karon's other Mitford books. Although this is the sixth book in in the series, chronologically it comes after the second. I thought it interesting, but not in keeping with her other books, that one was able to see things from other characters' points of view. Since the whole book is basically just about the wedding, it seems like Karon had to make a way to create more content. Still, there were a few times I did laugh out loud, and it was enjoyable, but just wasn't up to the same level as the others. "

" Visiting Mitford is always a pleasure. This was a little bit repeated from Jan Karon's previous novel about Father Tim's wedding. I missed the normal visiting of all the people in Mitford that you have in this series. "

" It was nice to go back in time and read about the wedding. An enjoyable, easy read, as are all the Mitford books. "

" Wonderful book ! It is a good way to get the complete picture of how a wedding is and how it planned and arranged....I reccomend this book! "

" Although I have enjoyed the other books in the series, this one was too sappy for me. "

" I wish I had realized what this book was earlier. I would have read it earlier in the series. However, it was nice to hear the whole story. And it is well written. "

" The story of Father Tim and Cynthia's wedding. "

" This book was a really fun and quick book to read. I can see why these series of books are not only New York Times best sellers, but the #1 New York Times best sellers! "

" cute and lovey dovey and sweet and sincere. I loved how it gave the reader little glimpses of everyone's reaction to the wedding. "

" Loved the whole series and I've read them twice....plus I bought the cookbook! "

" This is book #6 in a series. You will love all of the previous books. The characters are exemplary and charming. I love the Mitford series. I found a whole set at a library sale and I'm starting over. This is a series you will hate to put down. "

" This book is actually out of order. You need to read it right after book #3, when he proposes to her. "

" Not as good as the rest of the Mitford books I've read, buta nice light story which is what I needed now. "

" Liked it. Wholesome and sweet. Quick read. "

" This is one of my favorite series! It's full of Christian values, simple pleasures, emotional moments, and inspiring stories. "

" Saga of Mitford backtracks to Father Tim's proposal to his neighbor Cynthia Ann, subsequent marriage. The whole town is invloved. Good book too short "

" Good, light reading. A lot of questions answered. The author did a great job of including all the favorite Mitford characters. Not only was the book entertaining, there were good spiritual gems interwoven. "

" Listened to the audio book - too bad I started with book #6 in the series :-( They didn't have a huge selection of audio books at the library when I went... Lots of detail about the proposal and wedding, along with too much religious stuff....Ho hum. "

" This book tells about Father Tim and Cynthia's wedding which was sort of left out of the series. "

" This was the final book in the Mitford series, although the story is right after the second book. I enjoyed my final trip to Mitford very much, and appreciated watching Father Tim's wedding unfold. "

" A fun story! "

" 2-1/2 stars. Not a huge fan of the writing style so I won't read Jan Karon again. The story was bland and the characters weren't very well developed. Add to that eccentric names, and you've got one confusing storyline... "

" I read this book in the order of the series, i.e., number 6. However, it really occurred at an earlier point in the timeline of the series, so if you haven't read the series yet and plan to, I would recommend this be read earlier in the series. "

" So sweet and touching. I makes me rethink about our wedding too. "

" More Motford--very enjoyable! "

" I was so glad that Ms. Karon went back to the wedding! "

" I'd have to go back and look, but this book ought to come 3rd or something. It's about their wedding and as the 6th book it's like going back in time 8 years. Great book though. I really have been enjoying this series. "

" A delightful easy read! "

" This book needs a 5-Hour Energy shot and a dash of darkness to liven it up. There is no reason to read this book other than to waste time. The main characters, Father Tim and Cynthia, are under-developed and McGregor would label this as the epitome of a Theory-Y read. "

" I loved all the little love stories of the people of Mitford. I think it made me enjoy this one the most. "

" Really quick read. It is #6 in the series, but I read it after #2 because that is where it goes chronologically. It was a feel-good book about a wedding and finding happiness in life. "

" This was a short, quick read with all the characters from the Mitford series. It tells the story of Father Kavanaugh's proposal, planning, wedding, and honeymoon. Cute, but pretty unsubstantial "

" Not my favorite of the Mitford books. "

" Book 6 should be read after book 3 to really enjoy it. "

" So sweet and touching. I makes me rethink about our wedding too. "

" A very quick read but I feel like this book was out of order with the rest of the series. "

" This book was really short. I am not a big fan of weddings, so I wasn't sure if I would like this book. But it is really cute and I really enjoyed it :) I always enjoy visiting this peaceful world :) "

" Another delightful tale of Father Tim and the Mitford crew! I have a hard time putting it down. "

" wonderful series; religious w/o being sanctimonious or preachy "

" This is a beautiful love story between pastor and wife. "

" I spent part of the afternoon reading and I finished this delightful story. "
