A Promise for Ellie (Abridged) Audiobook

" i liked the setting of this book. it was told the same as i would think things would happen then. "

" I listened to this book on cd. I liked it for the most part. It did get long in parts and I felt that it could have had more of a plot. It seems like learning to deal with anger was the main portion of this book and yet it didn't really give good advice, solution, or a lesson for doing that. "

" She and Andrew have been engaged for years. Hopeing to meet and marry after her graduation. The Year has finally come. Ellie runs into the arms of Andrew only to find. They have both changed.

" This book has a wonderful storyline. It has a beautiful ending and the story will also make you laugh and cry. "

" Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for it, but it was hard to get into and then seemed a bit anticlimactic "

" There are problems galore in this tale set in Blessing, North Dakota in 1900. Life on the farm is a hard one, and you often must put aside your own desires for the good of your family and the community. Andrew and Ellie have waited long months to marry, but must wait even longer when their housing materials are delayed and other unfortunate mishaps occur. Andrew's temper gets the best of him, and a near tragedy almost ruins both their lives. Author Lauraine Snelling does a credible job in portraying flawed characters who are still likable. No one and no life is perfect. It's how you cope and what you do that makes the difference in the end and leads you to become a better person. "

" This is the first in a series by Lauraine Snelling. I also read the 2nd or 3rd (not sure) in the series, and liked it a little better. This one teaches much about self-control, forgiveness, and faith, and should probably be read first in order to understand the relationships. "

" It was enjoyable to listen to while I cooked but not one I would necessarily read again. "

" the Daughter Series is good too. "

" so far, it is awesome "

" This is the first of Lauraine Snelling's books that I had read. I am not big on historical settings, but liked this one and enjoyed listening to the audio version which made a lot of Norwegian accents. It was a fun one to listen to. "

" I couldn't make myself finish it. It was very slow and even halfway through the plot was just not moving quickly. Maybe I will go back to it, maybe not. "

" Decent book, not great. Plot line is a little simplistic. The best Christian literature leaves me inspired to be like one of the characters. Unfortunately, this book didn't inspire me that way. I plan to read the next book in the series, but I'm not racing to the library to pick it up. "

" This one was painfully boring for me... somehow I finished it, but not sure why. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I loved how the story talks about young love and the dissappointments that we have when we are young and in love and how we must rely on God no matter what. The trials and tribulations are what make us wise and our love strong. "

" It was soooooo long. I guess I like my stories to move along and this read like an endless preachy documentary. Not that it was poorly written or anything, but it just wasn't compelling. It took me a few weeks to listen to it because I was too bored by it to get back to it. "

" Sweet story. Make sure to read the two series before this book; it'll make alot more sense if you do. "

" Nothing earth shattering....Just good, clean, uplifting, Christian reading "

" A simple story about the complexity of forgiveness written in the setting of a simpler time and place. "

" My mind wandered a lot thru this movie. I had a hard time knowing who was who. Didn't really like this book, but I'll try #2 in the series. "

" It was just OK..not my favorite "
