Cage of Stars Audiobook

" I almost quit reading this book several times. The author is not Mormon, but writes about a Mormon family and gets many facts wrong - REALLY wrong. That bothered me. I also did not enjoy her style of writing as it seemed to change throughout the book. I read it for book club, otherwise I wouldn't have finished it. "

" I bought this book completely unaware it had anything to do with my faith and fell pray to judging a book by its cover (we've all done it) but it looks like I picked a good one. When I read the first page I almost shut it and took it back to the bookstore but I'm happy I gave it a chance and kept reading. This is not an Anti-mormon book and the author surprised me by actually writing a moving story about an lds girl that is actually almost realistic. She took time to understand the lds faith and the result is a book that is emmotional moving and in my opinion respectful of our beliefs. She got a few facts off but nothing thats not forgivable. This book really surprised me by how good it turned out it be and I found myself becoming so invested in the emotions of the characters and what they went through. It got me thinking about my loved ones and how I would handle having any of them murdered especially my siblings. i found myself getting so emmotional reading this book. For not being a member of the church the author sure tapped into the the heart of our belief in the reality of an eternal family and the love that is cultivated in a good lds home. A love that is really all encompassing. "

" Wow. What a powerful story of responsibility. I really enjoyed it. "

" A different look at the value of forgiveness and the seeking of revenge. Raise up a child in the way he should go and he will not depart from it. "

" Found this had interesting plot / voice, had an epilogue which is different "

" Some tough subject matter for a Mom to handle in the beginning. And a few too many coincidences that made me roll my eyes here and there, but for the most part I enjoyed this book and wanted to keep reading. "

" A little too much mormon for my taste, but still a good read. "

" I had higher hopes for this book. I really had to motivate myself to keep reading. The book lacked momentum, it had the potential to be so much more. "

" This book had me from the very start, but it revolved around an incredibly sad tragedy, so emotionally it was draining in the beginning. It was a quick read, because I didn't want to put it down. "

" This book was extremly sad and depressing but got better slowly i kinda just made you want to kepp reading to find out how it gets happier. "

" The author should have had a member of the LDS church read her book and correct all her mistakes. But a very compelling story and well-written. Tough issues though. "

" Not your typical book. Very interesting, hard to put down! "

" The book provided an interesting insight into the Morman faith. "

" Yuck. There are 2 versions of this book: one was edited more than the other. I read the less-edited version and found the storyline intriguing, but the writing pathetic and inaccurate. "

" What an amazing book! I love this author and her style of writing. Good, quick read! I loved it. "

" This is an incredible read about a Mormon girl who witnesses the brutal murder of her two younger sisters by a deranged killer. The author does justice to the voice of a teenage Mormon girl who one day faces the murderer and has a choice to make...forgiveness, or revenge? "

" Another good story about family and what binds them together. She's one of my favorite authors. "

" This book doesn't get the attention as much as The Deep End of the Ocean, but it is one of my favorites. I just love the story. A heroine's journey into the past who discovers what she really wants may not be what she's been searching for her entire adult life. Great storyline. "

" I enjoyed this book, although it was tough getting through the horrific crime that occurred in the beginning. "

" Pretty good but not great. I like the story and the love story but it was too preachy in parts. It was like she was introducing and defending mormonism to the masses. Didn't need it. "

" This book was such an emotional rollercoaster. I went through feeling every sort of emotion right along with Ronnie. It is hard to imagine the amount of strength it would take to forgive someone for such a horrible crime but the ending was well done. "

" I received this book as a present. When I read the synopsis I thought I was going to hate this book. I loved it. Very well written, heartbreaking and lesson-learning all at the same time. "

" Some tough subject matter for a Mom to handle in the beginning. And a few too many coincidences that made me roll my eyes here and there, but for the most part I enjoyed this book and wanted to keep reading. "

" Gave interesting perspective into different characters' opinions. Excellent read for mental health issues. "

" Great book, very different story than I have ever read! "

" This was a great book. It was very powerful and at times hard to even imagine because of the awful situation but very good read. It felt like you really understood the protagonists struggles. "

" I really liked it. The Mormon aspect was really interesting and made me more aware of their faith- in a positive way. Good story. "

" I really enjoyed reading this book, learned a lot about mormons of which i didn't know anything really. Book is a tear jerker but i really liked the story. I am a big fan of jacquelyn mitchard too, love her books! "

" Mais um livro marcante desta autora. Adorei! "
