Bulls Island Audiobook

" forgettable; a summer beach read that is predictable if mildly enjoyable. previous book i read by this author much more enjoyable - shem creek i think. "

" I would probably give this 1 1/2 stars because it was mildly entertaining and absorbing. As usual with this sort of "beach read" or chick lit novel, I found it to be overwrought and melodramatic. The ending was tied up too nicely with a pretty bow and seemed rushed and quite frankly, ridiculous. The whole Vinny character seemed extraneous to me, as well. "

" This book was good and I got into the story, but if feel the ending was very rushed. "

" I listened to this book. The narrators were not as good as the other book. The story line was interesting..and pretty predictable. The main characters, Betts McKey and TJ Lang were likeable enough. It is a good on to listen to when you go up and down the NJ Turnpike. Made me want to visit the "low country" like the last book. "

" Good story -- would like to see a sequel.. "

" This is not the best from Dorothea Benton Frank. I like to read about South Carolina, especially places I have visited. However, I just don't like the main character. She's very self centered. When her mother dies, she flees to the north, not getting in touch with her father for 20 years! He just lost his wife and his oldest daughter abandons him. Now she's helping to develop a beautiful, wild island off the coast. She does not care about the planet. And, she is lying to the men in her life she says she loves best. I will finish it because I hate to give up on a book but it is not a favorite. "

" I'm surprised I didn't like this more as I have read other books by Frank and really enjoyed them. I thought the dialogue in this book was trite - who really talks this way? My other dislike was that it wrapped-up far too quickly. As I said, I've enjoyed other her other books immensely, so I'll read more, but if this were my first from this author, I wouldn't be back! "

" A very well written book so very in-depth characters and plot. Frank is a great storyteller! "

" Quite a cast of characters. Betts McGee, J.D., Miss Louisa, Joanie, and who can forget Vinny. They all made me laugh out loud. For me, this book was sheer entertainment....a light, fun read! "

" This is one of Frank's best or maybe I just really needed to spend some time in the Charleston zone, but either way I really enjoyed this one. There is mystery, romance, and Charleston, need I say more? "

" I love all books written by Dorothea Benton Frank and this was no exception. Charleston has always been a special place for me and this book reminded me of that wonderful place. "

" I was able to read an advance reviewer copy of this book. It was an enjoyable read, although I think the end wrapped up waaaay too quickly and neatly. Also, I expected to get a lot more feel for the South Carolina low country, but this was just about the character's relationships. "

" I love all of DBF's books - this one hooked me right away and I was loving Betts and the whole story. However I agree that it felt rushed at the end. As rushed as it felt it didn't feel like it was "done" either. I enjoyed the first 3/4's so much though that I give it 4 stars. "

" Interesting, but not her best. "

" A great lake read. DBF does not disappoint. I love these books because they are set in and around Charleston SC which is one of my favorite places. "

" Listened to this book in the car while traveling. It was good and kept me coming back for more. "

" It was a Beach Read...not her best book. "

" I've been reading some of Frank's novels lately. They take place in South Carolina's Low Country. Just nice, enjoyable stories. "

" A romantic tale about honor and star crossed love set in the Charleston area. The setting and story were very enjoyable without being too sudsy. "

" Decent read but nothing to get excited about. What they do to Bulls Island is not my idea of environmentalism. Story was predictable and wrapped up too neatly. "

" I love this ladys books, always a good read. "

" Seemed more of a romance book than typical Dorthea Benton Frank. Still enjoyable, easy read. "

" Always love Dorothea Benton Frank for summer time reads! "

" One more...I am loving these books. Thinking about really traveling south to one of these islands! "

" Easy read and enjoyable. The ending did feel a bit hurried but the plot was good. "

" not as good as her others, a financial expert is sent to her hometown to work on a project with her ex-fiance to develop a former wildlife refuge. "

" Loved it... but I love all her books! "

" This was a pretty predictable book but it was good. "

" This one way okay, but not my favorite of Frank's books. Kind of perdictable. "

" This was okay, but I felt it was hurried at the end. There was two much back story left out. In my opinion it would have been better as a larger book or a series. Still like this author overall. "

" If you like the south, family drama, a little suspense and you like Frank's books, you won't be disappointed. "

" Good book, great beach or summer read. It was a little bit predictable, but the characters were relatable and I was satisfied with the ending. I think Betts got off a little easy at the end with Adrian and JD, but I knew all would end well. Would recommend this book and others by Frank. "

" forgettable; a summer beach read that is predictable if mildly enjoyable. previous book i read by this author much more enjoyable - shem creek i think. "

" I must be attracted to the east coast off North Carolina because I like these island stories. "

" Another interesting novel about islands in South Carolina. An enjoyable book. "

" Great until about 3/4 of the way through. Then she tried to wrap everything up in one chapter. Too rushed for me. "

" I am a huge fan of the author Dotty Frank. She provides comic relief to a stressful life! Her characters are vivid and are people with whom you can relate. I laugh and cry-it's an amusement park full of a spectrum of emotions. "

" Audiobook - Predictable " fluff " , but enjoyable all the same . "

" Cute, fast paced chick lit. "

" Disappointing. Normally, I enjoy Dorothea Benton Frank's books but not this time. I didn't find any of the characters likeable and the storyline was just too predictable in some areas and in others just totally implausable. "
