Fragile: A Novel Audiobook

" Typical Lisa Unger story, easy read. "

" My least favorite of her's, but still really good. "

" Engrossing story about a girl who goes missing in a small town. Interesting relationships between the characters, many of which grew up in this same town and now have teenage children who are friends with the missing girl. The story alternates between the past and the present. "

" This was a good book, but I personally prefer more twists and turns. I guess because my life has plenty of the kind of drama you just can't make up, i like books that are really beyond what might happen in real life. This book seemed to be something that could have really happened somewhere in a small town. It was a good story though. "

" So much to this story. Really had to pay attention or you could get lost. Quite dreary and depressing. "

" Hate hate hate books that provide a prologue letting you know something terrible will happen or a character will do something awful. Ruined it for me, couldn't finish. Was a pretty major downer right from page one. "

" an intertwining tail of murder, disappearances and the lives affected by lies and omissions. "

" Nothing spectacular (yet I could not put it down---that is how I am with mysteries, I HAVE to know). Good plot, interesting characters, some disturbing parts. "

" Loved this book it was a good one!! "

" Enjoyed this book, and think you develop an affection for the characters. "

" Great character development and enjoyed the story completely. "

" A haunting novel that will keep you guessing and wide awake way past midnight. "

" This book captures the small town atmosphere well. The mystery was pretty good but seemed to drag on a bit at the very end. I did enjoy the read but I'm not sure that this is a book that will stay with me. "

" A girl was missing, and though she's run away from home, it brought back memories of another girl who'd gone missing a couple decades before and was found murdered. "

" I thought this book started out as a fairly interesting and engaging novel. Once the "mystery" was solved, the book dragged on for an additional 100 pages, at least. There was just too much- too many characters, too many perspectives, too many sub-stories, too many loose ends to tie up. "

" Great book. I related to the mom and her emotions of letting go of a son who is just growing up, the fear you always have that you did not do or could not do enough to keep your family safe and happy. The plot was interesting and kept me wanting to read the book every chance I got. "

" Extra .5 star for keeping me entertained at the in-laws "

" Listened to audio version and it was good road trip material--enough to keep you from falling asleep, but not a must-read by any means. "

" really good mystery and psychological examination of the ways people's lives intersect. How making choices good/ bad, have ripple effects we sometimes don't realize or understand. Great book to read during a hurricane! "

" Slow start, finish is much better "

" I would rate this book a 4.5 if I could. The novel is complex and multilayered with a very satisfying conclusion. It kept me reading well into the wee hours of the morning. "

" It was good. Had a bit of a twist in the end. "

" The number of characters/points of view in this book drove me crazy. Many of them were completely unnecessary and barely would have affected the plot at all if they'd been removed. However, I give this one three stars because it did keep me interested enough to read it in two days! "

" Overall a good book. Starts you thinking of all of your own "what if's" and "if only's". "

" As a graduate of the New York School for Social Research, Lisa Unger always invests her novels with so much more than mystery! "

" I liked this book and recommend it as entertaining. It reads quickly. "

" This is the first book I have read by Lisa Unger and it was a wonderful story. The characters were full, complicated and oh-so human. I will definitely be looking for more from this author. "

" I really give this 3 1/2 stars. I like some of her other books better. Her writing is good, the story is almost over developed and the ending is too tidy. But I am glad I read it. Entertaining read. "

" Unger does such a good job of creating dread in the first thirty or so pages that I know I don't have the energy to read this book. "

" Lots of twists and turns and everyone seems to be connected in one way or another in this small town. "

" Wrapped up a little too neatly at the end. "

" Loved it, I was hooked from the first page "

" I really liked this story. It was hard at first to determine which character she was talking about when she would change chapters. Once you firgured that out, the reading got easier. I would give this author another chance. "

" This book was just what the doctor ordered, after all the long, long books I've read this year. A quick moving plot and every question satisfyingly answered in the end. Perfect! "

" I liked this book but found way too many instances of circumstances that were beyond belief. Some of the emotions and motivations just did not ring true to me and took away some of the enjoyment I would have felt reading it. "

" I listened to this book and really liked it a lot. Kept me guessing. "

" This book stuck with me for awhile after reading. It can be slow, but the ending is worth it! "

" Nothing too original in the premise, but an engaging read anyway. "
