Beginner's Greek (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" You know it's a good book when a sleep-deprived woman keeps reading it even after she's finally managed to get her 9-week-old to sleep at 2:00 a.m. "

" Peter and Holly meet on a plane and it's love at first sight. Even though he loses her phone number, he does manage to meet up with her again some time later ... except that she's now his best friend's girlfriend. Yes, a bit soap opera and too coincidental but I still liked this book. It's nice light reading and kinda sweet. "

" A love story from the man's point of view. Some of the characters were too precious and the ending was a little too neat, but a good interesting read for all those who believe true love always finds a way. "

" another book that I couldn't get thru the first 20 pages! The main character was a little too "girly" for me to relate to him... "

" Not terrible, but very predictable. "

" This was the author's first book and it seemed like he tried too hard. He did pretty good character development but went pretty in depth. It was a fun "fate" book with some good twists. "

" Interesting premise but there was a lot of boring filler. It should have been half as long, or less. Generally a waste of time. "

" A first novel for this artist. A modern love story of survival of the unfaithful. Funny ... sweet ... good character development. A good summer read. "

" A little disappointing after all of the hype, but still an enjoyable read. "

" All the characters were under-developed and the plot was unrealistic. "

" Chick-lit for men. "

" A forgettable farce. The author writes as though he isn't sure if he wants you to like the characters or not. It was an easy read that doesn't ask anything of you. "

" This was HIGHLY disappointing. The review on the back compares it to Austen...NOT OKAY TO DO THAT! It's clearly written by a man who doesn't understand women. Oy! "

" Lame. Boring. Predictable. "

" A notch or two above trashy romance. Good vacation read. "

" Perfect beach read. I predict a screenplay to come out of this. "

" Smart, fun and skillfully told in its use of multiple POVs. Also, a nice change to have a story of love found, lost and found again from a contemporary man's standpoint. "

" All I could think of while reading was that this would make a pretty cute movie, but as a book it was not the best. "

" Totally cute albeit predictable...I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could... "

" got started with this one and just couldn't finish it - didn't like the writing style. "

" I wasn't sure how this was going to be; it built very slowly, but it turned into a lovely little fairy tale of a book, with a phenomenal ending. "

" Really? REALLY?? I couldn't get past page 12. Stop. "

" This book was a great mind escape! It's a little long, but an easy read. Enjoy! "

" Enjoyed this, for the most part. A surprisingly sentimental book to be written by a man. Kind of a pseudo-intellectual Nicholas Sparks. "

" Liked it a lot. But still miss Laurie Colwin. "

" Really? REALLY?? I couldn't get past page 12. Stop. "

" This was listed as a "Smart Beach Read". It lived up to it's name, and was the perfect addition to my Coronas down in Cancun. "

" This would have been a fun light read, but it was way too long. I kept losing interest, which is too bad because the author's writing style was engaging. "

" Just so-so. Probably wouldn't have finished if I didn't feel like I always finish a book that I start. "

" great story, great characters. Entertaining look into modern NYC people and lifestyles. "

" I should have a bookshelf that says "skimmed" for this book. It was incredibly sticky-sweet and definitely not worth the energy to actually read with full attention. At best this novel about "love at first sight" could be seen as a adult fairy tale - but I wasn't sold. "

" Started utterly charming and went downhill fast and furiously by the end. Bah humbug! "

" Just couldn't do it!! It isn't often I can't get through a book, even one that doesn't 'wow' me. This, though, was an exception. Cute idea, but just not developed well and the writing was sophomoric. Moving on, so much to read ... "

" This novel just didn't seem genuine to me - I can't pinpoint what it was missing, as the premise was cute and I'm always willing to suspend reason for a good, intelligent love story, but there was something about this book that just seemed insincere and false. "

" I wanted a light-hearted love story . . . Instead I got a tedious novel by a writer who likes to "hear" his himself write. UGH! "

" Poor. Poor writing. Poor story. Poor dialogue. Poor characters. "
