A Family Daughter Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A little too graphic for my taste, but I liked that it ended with a note of hope. Have to say I don't think I would recommend it to anyone, and I'm not entirely sure I'm glad I finished it, as I considered putting it down several times. But there you go-finished it, and it was....ok. "

" I am not sure if I think this book can stand on it's own. It made the pre-quel a better book, and I liked it a lot, but I think it needs to be read after Liars and Saints. "

" Follow-up to Liars and Saints. read it. "

" This book follows, Liars and Saints. I really enjoyed the two. They have some wacky events, but that is what books are for, right? "

" Crazy family book with dozens of POV. Granddaughter publishes a book about the family. "

" Didn't love it, didn't hate it and only vaguely remember it. Seems like there is a companion book that goes with this one, Liars and Saints, which may have helped w/ some of the character development here, but I haven't read that one. Not sure I like the author's writing style and I wasn't drawn in by the characters, so I'll probably not actively search out that book. Really just okay. "

" better than liars and saints "

" I liked this book and Liars and Saints better as a tandem then individually. "

" Twisted goodness. "

" Should be read after "Liars and Saints" by the same author. Great book group discussion piece. "

" Neat how it changes the way you see the first book - clever. "

" A cool premise....Meloy took "Liars and Saints" and changed what happens to the characters in this book. Again, kind of fluff, but it was really good. "

" I definitely prefer the Santerre family of Liars & Saints but on its own, this one isn't so bad. "

" Worth reading - quick, interesting "

" this book goes along with Liars and Saints..but I don't want to spoil anything! "

" Hm, not what I expected, but not impressed. "

" Not exactly waht I expected after Liars and Saints. I really enjoyed Liars and Saints, but I can't say the same about this book. I did not like how it explored the uncle/niece relationship much deeper. Deeper than I really wanted to know. It was very much like a soap opera. "

" A delightful book. The writing, plot & character development were all first rate. "

" nothing can compare to "half in love"- but i still love her verse "

" Liars and Saints is so much better. there is too much sex in this, no need for it, and it adds nothing to the story. Everyone is so aimless and can not get it together. A disappointing read. "

" While I appreciated the spare clean storytelling style of Maile Meloy I wasn't wowed by the novel. After I put it down I didn't think about it or ponder it again. "

" I actually enjoyed the story for what it was, but didn't find any special in it's voice or content. "

" When I started the book, I did not realize it involved the same characters as in "Liars and Saints" It was an interesting twist on the previous book. It felt like I was reading an alternate storyline or maybe the book was the book? "

" I guess I should have read "Liars and Saints". This is such a weird family story. I liked her "Both ways are the only way I wanted". "

" An enjoyable read. Another depressing example of a book with a chick-lit cover that ain't chick-lit. Why do authors allow their publishers to do this? "

" Neat how it changes the way you see the first book - clever. "

" Worth reading - quick, interesting "

" I could have done without the graphic sexual content, but overall it was a good read- who doesn't love a good family drama? "

" Should be read after "Liars and Saints" by the same author. Great book group discussion piece. "

" This is a strange novel -- I can't quite say exactly what its purpose was, other than that family takes strange shapes, but it was very readable and compelling. "

" this book goes along with Liars and Saints..but I don't want to spoil anything! "
