Darling Jim: A Novel Audiobook

" This was ok. The story was intriguing so much so that I was rather nonplussed by the ending. "

" This Celtic knot of twisted stories, diaries, vision quest, murder and revenge is best "read" by audiobook on a long car-trip. The lilting male and female voices (Stephen Hoye and Justine Eyre) conjure an enchantment that glosses over improbable coincidences and lapses in logic-- celebrating the sheer magic of storytelling. "

" Very unique book about an Irish storyteller who brings mayhem to the towns he visits. A fairytale within a fairy tale "

" This was an exceptional, original story written about an Irish family by a Danish author. I read it in 2 book groups and everyone thought it was great. It is a story within a story within a story. Give it a try. "

" Chilling. Different voices woven together to create a haunting story that lingers after the last page "

" Darling Jim is a masterpiece. There's no other way for me to describe it. It's witty, thrilling and keeps you hooked from cover to cover. Christian's writing style is addicting and can't wait to read what he comes up with next. Five stars! "

" Very good book...a definite page turner. "

" Hmmmmm, I am trying to remember to remember why I gave this book 3 stars..it should be more like 2.5 stars. Very dry and slow in its' presentation. I wasn't that impressed with the characters either. "

" Very suspenseful and never dull. Surprised this wasn't a bigger success. Would make a good movie. "

" Starts off beautifully and then does't deliver. Pity. "

" I loved this book - suspensful, well written, good character development . . . "

" Re-read in August,'11. Still love this book. "

" A story within a story. Intriguing, kept my full attention. "

" Loved the Celtic fairytale and the modern-day story. Christian Moerk's take on what a woman would do for love is surprising, creepy, but, ultimately, believable. "

" A real page-turner. Lovely writing, good pacing, intriguing characters, story-in-story. "

" This book had a fairy tale, sinister folklore quality to it which is very appropriate for its Irish setting. Not totally my taste, but I'd like to give this author another try. "

" I liked the narrative style, but I didn't like the folklore aspect. Overall, I didn't really like the book, but I did like the characters. "

" Could not book this book down. A really great story. "

" This murder mystery is set outside Dublin, Ireland and revolves around a seanchai, a traveling Irish storyteller. Starts with the deaths of 2 sisters and their aunt and then the story is told through their diaries. Some typical Irish folklore and magic-but a really good read. "

" creepy but not in a good way.... "

" Captivating.....loved the setting, the main characters, the story. It was a very good read. "

" I finished this Trenton's Book Club book, but it was weird and ended up having a twisted 'werewolf' ending about sisters who fell in love with the same guy who told stories about himself. Strange. "

" I would caution that there is some language in this that might not be suitable for everyone. That said, this is the best book I have read in a very long time. Fantastic. "

" This was an exceptional, original story written about an Irish family by a Danish author. I read it in 2 book groups and everyone thought it was great. It is a story within a story within a story. Give it a try. "

" This book has the wrong cover. It should be packaged much younger and edgier - not so cozy and ghostly. "

" I REALLY liked this book! A good murder mystery that follows through two dairies and a road trip. Very well done. "

" A story within a story. Intriguing, kept my full attention. "

" Darling Jim is a masterpiece. There's no other way for me to describe it. It's witty, thrilling and keeps you hooked from cover to cover. Christian's writing style is addicting and can't wait to read what he comes up with next. Five stars! "
