Casting Off Audiobook

" A really amazing story! This is now one of my absolute fav. books of all time!! "

" This is one of my favorite books of all time. I believed the characters. They were well developed. The story intrigued me from the first. I was surprised many, many times. I sobbed with the ending; it was very cathartic....LOVED This book! "

" Okay, I am not, not, not going to try any more novels about people who enjoy knitting! This was better than the last one I tried, but not good enough for me to finish--stopped about 2/3 of the way through. The Sean character just bugged me too much and the developing love story between Rebecca and Finn was too corny for me. "

" Amazing book, great story. Not the typical book I would choose, but it was on sale so I thought I would give it a chance. So glad I did, one of the best books I've ever read. Really inspiring. "

" favorite part of the book was st brigid's cross...most difficult part is being in the center and not sure where to go..once you determine that things become more clear, goals more achievable...also the reference to being able to keep things private to remain true to yourself without having to conform to others..i.e English rule "

" I loved this book and hope that she writes a sequel. "

" Simple read. Interesting history of the gansey sweater. "

" I found this a very moving book, read it in basically two sittings. I loved the knitting references and the stroy was well paced and the conflict and resolution were pleasing. "

" Beautiful and heartwarming. A must read. "

" I don't like when something is predictable. You know, girl meets man and instantly the sparks fly... not necessarily instant attraction but some evidence that this relationship will have it's test! But it was a good story with some lots of interesting facts about knitting. "

" Great characters, even if you aren't a knitting you will appreciate this story. "

" A good story but a few too many characters with unfamiliar Irish names which made it somewhat distracting. "

" This book was another amazing read! Never would have looked twice at it if it wasn't for a friends recommendation. Thanks Kris!! "

" combines two of my favorite things Ireland and knitting. "

" Almost dropped this book about 30 pages in, as the emotional subtexts are fairly predictable... but much like the Irish music which is a key motif, as well as the knitted ganseys, it gets into your soul after a bit. I'm more than halfway through, and finding it hard to put down now. "

" II like this book. I wonder if any of the knitting references are accurate. Some day i will research. Makes me want to knit a gansey. "

" Was not as heavy on the knitting as I anticipated and I appreciate that. I actually found the plot of this book rather interesting but the characters were often, flat, unbelievable and silly. "

" knitting is my passion :) "

" This is a dessert book that started off pretty predictable -- damaged single mom moves to Ireland, where island people take her in and help her heal (yes, including handsome young man). It does pick up toward the end with some excitement and I do appreciate the theme of forgiveness and redemption. "

" I really enjoyed the heart in this book. A great read even if you aren't into knitting. "

" Really enjoyed this book. It encouraged me do research on fisherman sweaters and fishing boats. It was a very good read. "

" Love the knitting parts, thought the romance kind of lame, but a good weekend read. "

" Loved it! A little fiber, a little romance, a little suspense. "

" Love the knitting parts, thought the romance kind of lame, but a good weekend read. "

" Adorable, wise Irish people existing to serve and help the fucked up American. And the knitting wasn't good. Avoid. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It contained interesting info about knitting fisherman sweaters. The story took place on an island in Northern Ireland. "

" Amazing book, great story. Not the typical book I would choose, but it was on sale so I thought I would give it a chance. So glad I did, one of the best books I've ever read. Really inspiring. "

" Was not as heavy on the knitting as I anticipated and I appreciate that. I actually found the plot of this book rather interesting but the characters were often, flat, unbelievable and silly. "

" It had a great story line of a young single mom doing her dissertation on knitted sweater stitches. She travels to Ireland to get the stories, and ends up with so much more. This could be a favorite for knitters. "

" I listened to this book. It was fun with it's knitting definitions at the beginning of each chapter "

" One of those books that you don't want to end! "

" An easy read, loved the plot. "

" Barely summoned the interest to finish this one even though it was so light. "
