Folly Audiobook

" Really enjoyed the mysterious way this was written and the drama. "

" This was a tremendous book! Wasn't too sure about it at the beginning but couldn't put it down after a few pages. "

" Don't bother. The wanderings into the phychosis and depression of this woman just isn't that interesting. "

" Not enough Holmes and Russell interaction to keep me reading but interesting to know that the translator, Pessoa, was based on a real person. However, King tells much of the action rather than showing us, the Pirates of Penzance embedded within an early filmmaker's movie he is purportedly making is tiresome; the long digression over the pirate ship's many parts and sails...all read as if King is phoning it in. Disappointing. Maybe King has run out of gas as the plot approaches the Depression? "

" I enjoyed this book very much and would put it in the well written mystery genre. I'm now it the middle of the book that follows this one. "

" One of my all time favorites. "

" Reread this june 2010. Something about the survival...moving out of the loss of husband and daughter..bit of ww1 rememberance..I read to the end once again. "

" This book was one of the best books I have read in awhile. The plot was engaging, the characters were fasinating, and the writing style was beautiful. It took me about a week to read it because I read it slower than I usually read fiction because I wanted to savor all the exquisite sentences! "

" Part psychological study, part thriller, this novel does not succeed well at either. Extensive musings give way late in the game to a wrapped up tight series of convenient resolutions. "

" I enjoyed this book. I did get a little lost on some of the stream of consciousness, but I think it went well with the protagonist's character. The detail was pretty amazing. I also enjoyed the setting in the San Juan Islands. "

" Read it for Book Club. Light weight. Enjoyable. "

" It took me a long time to really get into this book, but once I did, I really liked it. "

" Love this author, love a good psychological mystery. Easy, entertaining read, and liked the history/occupation aspect too. "

" Good, but not her best. I'm much more a fan of the Martinelli stories. "

" Loved it, read it twice. "

" I changed my rating from 3 stars to 2 because I think I was being too generous to give it 3 stars. My cousin gave me this book when she was done with it and said she liked it. But I remember thinking it was not compelling and I was frankly glad to be finished with it. "

" I loved this book, could hardly put it down! "

" i liked this book...regardless of the way-too convenient wrap up of the ending that was a little reminescient of a Scooby Doo episode. "and i would have succeeded too had it not been for you pesky kids!" "

" I listen to this book and it was a real page turner. Once I read this book I had to read all of hers. "

" I enjoyed this book. I did get a little lost on some of the stream of consciousness, but I think it went well with the protagonist's character. The detail was pretty amazing. I also enjoyed the setting in the San Juan Islands. "

" It took me a long time to really get into this book, but once I did, I really liked it. "

" Stacey's pick. It starts off rather slow, but I quickly got hooked. The main character goes on a fascinating journey not only to find herself, but to discover her family's past. Subtly suspenseful. "

" Really good. I was nervous the whole time I read it and then it had an unexpected (for me at least) ending. It was quit enjoyable. "

" I love Laurie King, but this was not my favorite. It was slow to start and threatened to become a bad lifetime movie. "

" A little slow. I like her Sherlock Holmes series much better. "
