Angel Sister: A Novel Audiobook

" This book had a rather slow pace but a very good storyline and characters. I really liked the variety of characters that the author included and they were very realistic with a wide range of personalities and character traits. Each had their good and bad points. I look forward to reading more books from this author as this was the first I have read. "

" Really good book! Loved it! Can't wait until the sequel is out! "

" I didn't realize starting out that this was a Christian author but I really enjoyed this sweet little story of forgiveness and redemption. A pleasant read. "

" I stopped this book about three-fourths of the way through. It was rather redundant and extremely slow-paced. I got to a point where I didn't care about any of the characters as they were formulaic and one-dimensional. Victor is an alcoholic, Nadine has no backbone, both of their fathers are bullies, Kate is the good girl; Evangeline is selfish, and so on. The writing was at a middle-school level yet, it is not classified as a young adult novel. The pacing drags throughout, which left me feeling as if I were swimming in quicksand while reading. Most of the characters were one-dimensional with few to no redeeming qualities. Overall, it was a dull, tiresome story. "

" I really loved this book! "

" Neat story of the last depression. Happy version of steinbeck "

" I love all the books about the south, and this one was no different. It was about the Merritt family who lived in Kentucky, in 1936. My parents were both born and raised in Kentucky, so I saw a lot of my Mom in Kate. Kate didn't take any gruff from anyone, she stood up for what she believed in and that's exactly what my Mom has always done. The only reason I didn't give the book 5 stars is because it got slow in the middle. But other than that, I loved it! "

" slow to get into the story... but appreciate staying true to the hard realities of post-war vets, even in WWI... good by the end... "

" didnt finish it. got bored about seven chapters in. "

" We're reading "Angel Sister" for book club. I thoroughly enjoyed it! "

" I read this for a book club and I would say it was just OK. It would probably be considered a "Christian" book but I found the thinking simplistic: "Just trust God and everything will be OK." The characters were likable and it gives you a taste of what life was like during the depression "

" Wonderful character development with an interesting and engaging plot. I truly cared what happened to the characters and didn't want the story to end. One star knocked off for some pages too full of talking about if God was real (yes-it is essential to this story-I just a little sick of it at times) "

" This book steps over the line from being a good work of fiction to true literature. It's not pretentious literature (and thank goodness for that!) but its a gorgeous, well-rounded read. Definitely worth the time. "

" This book was about a family during the years after the first world war. It is about how the past affects the present and forgiveness and how important it is not just for the person needing the forgiveness but for the person doing the forgiving. "

" This was a very easy read. A heartfelt story about love, family and live. "

" This book made me feel every emotion in the book. It made me laugh and it tugged at my heart strings. I thought this was a wonderful book and a very pleasant read. "

" Giving this only two stars because it is just far too religious "

" This was a nice, gentle story. Since it is Christian fiction, some readers would not be interested in the multiple references to the Bible. "

" Interesting book in that it delves into the complexities of family relationships. Somewhat predictable but I still liked it. "

" It was like reading a Hallmark movie. That is as clearly as I can express that. "

" A lot of prayers that go on in this book. But the story is captivating enough to keep you interested and reading. Lesson learned? Keep your faith and know that God is on your side through good times and bad, strong and weak. Lovely, how it all came together. "

" This is a really boring book. The first couple pages are interesting enough, but don't be fooled. I would have gotten more out of taking a nap yesterday afternoon than reading this. "

" I was disappointed in this book. It dragged and I didn't become interested until I got toward the end of the book. Came close to not finishing this one. "

" Wow!It's like there needs to be another book or something. So many questions need to be answered. Overall it was an amazing book. I couldn't find myself putting it down (but i had some things to do). I can't wait until my sister reads it so we can talk about it together. "

" It is a good story that gives a lot of hope. It gives a glimps of of the horrors of WWI and the life of a family in a small town in the south. Good topis to ponder on. "

" Although this book has the most adorable cover, I just wasn't won over by the story. It felt contrived, wooden, and so run-of-the-mill Christian fiction. "

" I enjoyed this book set in 1930's Kentucky, in a small town where the past, and its secrets, influences the way people behave and believe. "

" One of those books I was passing by at the library and the named popped out at me. I had to pick it up to see what it was all about. What a pleasant surprise and an equally pleasant read. "

" I just finished this book and I really enjoyed it. In fact, I could barely put it down and consequently devoured it in about 24 hours. The characters were very real and I felt like they were people I knew. I highly recommend this book - you will remember it for a long time. "

" This was a nice story. It is a Christian Fiction story based in a small town in KY during the depression. "

" Page turner. I will search out other books by Gabhart "

" It was good and a very quick read. It was called a 'Christian fiction' but it didn't run you over with the religion part. About family and the Depression. "

" We're reading "Angel Sister" for book club. I thoroughly enjoyed it! "

" A very good book. It is a Christian book with a good message without being preachy. Story starts a little slow but then builds and has a great ending. I recommend. "

" This was a nice, gentle story. Since it is Christian fiction, some readers would not be interested in the multiple references to the Bible. "

" This story nicely weaves together the characters' lives and lets you know what everyone is thinking. It didn't end the way I expected it to. "

" It is a good story that gives a lot of hope. It gives a glimps of of the horrors of WWI and the life of a family in a small town in the south. Good topis to ponder on. "

" Started off agonizingly slow but ended well. I had a hard time staying with it though. She's a good author but this one didn't keep my attention very well. "
