Bill Warrington’s Last Chance Audiobook

" A unique story line--not the kind you can't put down, but a slower read that really makes you think. The author did an excellent job, I think, of portraying the teenage girl's thoughts and emotions. The grandfather's oscillation between present and past realities was well done. I found myself having moments, away from reading, imagining what it must be like to experience alzheimers, and occasionally wondering if I am experiencing it myself from time to time. "

" I loved this book. I couldn't put it down. "

" I adored this book. I would put it in my top 3! The story and the characters felt so real to me! The dynamic between the siblings and how the tragic loss of their mother affected them rang true. For those who have ever suffered the loss of an immediate family member as a child, you may be better able to relate to this story. "

" Well-written story about a broken family being pieced back together. I liked how the author was able to write from so many points of view: old man, teen-aged girl, and middle aged men and women. Family drama plus road trip; what more could you ask for? "

" I didn't care for it at all. It was a very boring read with shallow characters. I feel like reading it was time wasted. "

" wass a cute story.. makes you think about all the older folks and if and when was the last time you hugged your grandparents "

" I gave 3 stars because I like the message and basic storyline. However, I almost gave only 2 stars because I think there were a lot of meaningless parts in the book. It dragged on and on for me. I am glad I pushed myself to finish, though. "

" An entertaining read about a dysfunctional family. Several flawed but very likeable characters. "

" Good story about a girl and her grandfather. Author does a good job of describing dementia through the mind of the victim; what things might seem like to him. "

" James King has a definite talent for capturing the stream of consciousness of a wide range of characters, especially a wide range of ages, from 16 to 80. This is a unique disfunctional family story told with humor and pathos. "

" While this was a good depiction of someone with Alzheimer's, like the disease, it has too many gaps. We learn about the characters in bits and pieces and never get the whole story. Threads are left unfinished and the ending is abrupt. "

" I just started it. I'm reading it for a book discussion group so I have a month to read it. The premise looks really good. "

" well written and makes you think of how your actions affect other people, regardless of your intentions. really enjoyed this book. "

" A first novel by the author - it really is between really liked it and amazing. Great characters - I read it straight through. "

" Bill Warrington is a sad and angry widower with Alzheimer’s. He is practically estranged from his 3 grown children when he embarks on a cross-country odyssey with his 15 year old grand-daughter. It took e a while to get into this book but by the end I was enjoying it. "
