A Northern Light Audiobook

" I bought this on a whim, hopefully I'll find time to read and enjoy it soon. One of my best friends has it on her bookshelf, so here's to hoping that I will enjoy it -- and I am enjoying it thus far. I'm up to the second chapter, I think. X "

" I'm disappointed that I didn't really like this book. I really enjoyed Donnelly's Revolution, but this one just didn't do it for me. I didn't like the way it went back and forth in time, and the plot didn't really intrigue me much, and I often didn't feel much sympathy for the characters. "

" Good story about a real murder, as told through a fictional 17 year old girl who worked at the resort where the murder occurred. The murder was also the basis for the Elizabeth Taylor movie A Place in the Sun. I had actually gone to the library to check this book out when I saw the library was showing the movie later in the week. Fate, I tell you! Good read for both YA and adults. "

" My friend Anne DeC let me borrow this audio book since I had enjoyed Revolution so much. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I liked how Donnelly wove the real-life story of Grace Brown with Mattie's story. Made me look up Grace Brown and read about her on the innerweb! "

" I absolutely loved this book. I kinda wanted Mattie to end up with royal, but I know she wouldn't have been happy. But I'm glad he tried with the cookbook, I think they both genuinely cared for each other! But in the end, Mattie did what was right for Mattie :) and I'm proud of her for it "

" 4 1/2 to 5. I have decided, at almost 67, must be a "young adult." About 4 times now, in all the years on GR, I have accidently ordered a "young adult" book, and have enjoyed them immensely. "

" Love this book!I am not sure if I have ever read a book twice before. "

" Not a bad book. I really enjoyed reading, as it seemed to happen before me while I'm reading it. "

" I really, really loved this book. The quality and style of writing was so luxuriant that I found myself lost in it, and the story was so exciting, thought-provoking and enjoyable that I was very sad when it ended. Perusing the charity shops and picking a book at random most definitely paid off! "

" This was entertaining. A book you could recommend to just about anyone. I loved the language the character used to explain herself. I enjoyed reading how she assimilated what happened to her in life and the lessons learned. "

" This book is brutal. Save yourself the time and don't read this story that is incredibly boring and has no plot. The most exciting part was when the cow dies. seriously, don't do it "

" This is Awesome "

" Loved this book. It was written for teenagers, but I was absorbed in the story line - historical fiction. "

" Great read. Although it is Young Adult literature, I think any woman can identify with the story. "

" I liked the ending. I'm glad the author did what she did. I would have liked it less had the ending been different. "

" A slow start, but worth the patience. "

" A Northern light is a great book. I recommend it to lots of people. There was lots of nice details and I liked how she picks a word everyday. I really adore this book "

" I seemed to always choose other books to read even tho I had started this, so I flipped to the last quarter and read that. At least there is something going on there. I guess the rest was just slow. Could not relate to the story. Liked the idea of the plot. Just too slow. "

" I would probably give it a 3 1/2 stars if it was an option. I enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed the main character of this book. I rooted for her and was excited with her ending. I would actually even like to know more of her story and also Weaver's. An enjoyable read. "

" Nice style - read for book club. "

" I liked the historical aspect of this novel and being able to see how life was like in the Big Woods. This story is about following your dreams and not allowing others to stop you ect... "

" I absolutely LOVED this book. The 16 year old and her love of books and words reminded me so much of my daughter. I couldn't put this book down. I didn't realize that it was based off a true story. I may just have to read it again! "

" I liked this book. Feel good. Mystery. "

" loved this book. best work of hers yet "

" She made a promise to her dying mother and she didn't keep it. She felt it was more important to follow her dream of attending college and becoming a writer. So sad. "

" I read this one quickly (all my books have to go back to the library), and enjoyed it. It was interesting, well-written. Nothing to freak out about, but good. "

" Wonderfully written, informative on the life and times in the Adirondack mountains in the early 1900s, and a page turner. The main character is wrought with guilt and learns to find her way. "

" This is one book I will never forget. <br/>Beautiful. <br/>:) "

" Loved this book- Donnelly wrote with such care, and drew her characters beautifully. "

" one of the best books i've read in far too long.<br/><br/>donnelly is a genius. "

" I really enjoyed this tale of a young, fierce girl who loves books and wants to find her way out of farm life and getting married at 17. It's actually a historical novel, hiding as murder mystery and I had a great time with it. "

" An interesting read from the historical side of things, but seemed to demonize marriage and children. Ick. "
