Felicia's Journey Audiobook

" probably the least thrilling "psychological thriller" I've ever read, in fact it was pretty boring "

" Simple human lives explored and exposed. Masks torn apart. Trevor had brought out startling human emotions through Felicia's Journey... disguised as a "semi-thriller". Try it out if you gan get a copy! "

" You end up feeling sorry both for Felicia and the strange man she meets even if they are so different one from the other. Very good study of characters. "

" The vile monster and the innocent girl were both given their full measure of humanity, and the horror of it was made all the more real. So upsetting that I put the book down and walked away. Twice. "

" You end up feeling sorry both for Felicia and the strange man she meets even if they are so different one from the other. Very good study of characters. "

" An extremely well-written book that draws you into the narrative right away. I liked it despite the downer of the narrative: a pregnant Irish teenager goes to England in search of her baby's father, and is befriended by a disturbed middle-aged man. The characters inhabit a sad world and fail to form strong ties with those around them. "

" Very slow, and I found the relationship with the man and the girl to be creepy. "

" Slowing moving. Reading this takes discipline. "

" Tough introduction to this fine author. Didn't encourage me to keep reading his work. "

" When I got to the middle part of this book, I didn't want to put it down. My low rating might stem from the subject matter that crystallizes in the the last third of the book - not to say that it wasn't foreshadowed - was quite disturbing. I couldn't stand to read any more about Hilditch, but I plugged through to the end. "

" Even darker than most Irish literature, the bright spot being the serial killers demise. "

" Sad story of a desperate, vulnerable woman confronted with limited options and the unsympathetic and even creepy folks she encounters. The author does an excellent job of making the reader feel her pain and sorrow, as well as the pain of the man who "befriends" her. "

" Another typically lovely novel from Trevor, about loneliness, longing and regret, and two vivid characters (Felicia and Mr. Hilditch) whose lives briefly cross, with only one emerging unscathed. "

" A nail-biter... but very sad! "

" Creepy, in a good way. "

" I did not enjoy this book at all. "

" This book is one of the saddest I have ever read. A cautionary tale about misplaced trust. "

" Well written, easy to read, and a little creepy. "

" Starts off slow, but then really picks up. At times I felt disgusted, helpless, and pretty much creeped out. Trevor makes you feel as if you're right there in the small village, watching the tragedy unfold. Very understated. "

" Pretty good but not as gripping or as heart wrenching as The story of Lucy Gault. Mr Hilditch was a well written and creepy character and as usual with William Trevor, it's as much about what he implies as what he actually says. "

" A rather creepy story, beautifully written. "

" A creepy story served up with first class language. "

" Hated it. Had nothing to keep me going. Didn't enjoy the writing style either. Not sure why so many people apparently loved this book when it came out. I would not recommend at all. "

" An intense, disturbing novel about a journey, loss of innocence, lonliness, desperation, and finally, hope and redemption. All in one brief novel. It is gripping! "

" Creepy but so well written. "

" Trevor is a great story teller. The story unfolds slowly yet with suspense as to what will happen next on the journey. Interesting characters with their own backgrounds and motivations are introduced throughout. "

" This literary thriller is more about delving into the (often secret) lives of its characters than it is about plot twists and surprises. Wonderfully written. "

" Very slow, and I found the relationship with the man and the girl to be creepy. "

" One of my favorite other one night reads. I just thought of it when I was reviewing "The Road". Not that they have anything else in common. "

" Trevor's work in this one is exquisite as always, and the end is as chilling as you'll ever read. "

" Creepy but so well written. "

" A surprising story. Trevor tells the story of a naive young woman and a manipulative serial killer without the prurience, sadism, and cheap thrills that usually accompany this material. "

" Yeesh! This book made me want to curl up and kill the insects probably infesting my liver for even trying to undertake such a reading. "

" I did not enjoy this book at all. "

" A haunting, beautiful read, despite its subject matter - the first William Trevor book that I read and it inspired me to read others. "

" The end is really exciting -- sort of a thriller. The beginning's not bad either. There's an interesting British/Irish thing going on. "

" Excellent. You see words like thriller and suspense attached to this book, but I think haunting is the word to go with. Gives you lots of sinking feelings while reading. "

" Be careful what you really want. Sometimes there is no turning back. "

" A simply stunning novel - the vulnerable and desperate meets suburbanite nightmare. "

" Tough introduction to this fine author. Didn't encourage me to keep reading his work. "

" Questo libro mi ha lasciato perplesso: da un lato è scritto bene e racconta una storia originale e per nulla banale, dall'altro non mi ha coinvolto più di tanto, mi è mancato quasi totalmente quel trasporto e quelle emozioni che ti sanno donare certi libri. "

" I was very surprised to not like a book about a serial killer. I usually love reading about serial killers. Sad. "

" Finished at 11 pm and had to start another book to get this one out of my head...creepy. "

" About an Irish girl who becomes pregnant and leaves for England, becoming vulnerable to all manner of people. Kind of interesting but the ending is unsatisfying. "
