Hannah's Dream: A Novel Audiobook

" What a great character book. A few plot problems are more than balanced by the fact that I fell in love with nearly every vividly drawn character, even the "bad guy." "

" i have scarcely laughed or cried as much "

" I really wanted to LOVE this book--and I really liked the premise and the storyline--and I thought it was for the most part well-written. I appreciated the author giving her background at the beginning so one knew what she was trying to accomplish. It bothered me that she felt that she had to talk about reincarnation a couple of times to try to induce sympathy for animals from people. I can be sympathetic, empathetic and loving without thinking that my dog is one of my deceased relatives reincarnated. I also liked both of the love interests that were introduced in the story and was bothered by them being both seemingly "worthy" and no further development of Johnson Johnson's interest. I found Johnson Johnson facsinating, but it seemed like he was just going to be used by the heroine to further the main purposes. I enjoyed the book. It was a fun weekend read. "

" This is a delightful quick read complete with villains, a pig, a man who decorates toilets (inside and out)and a personable elephant with foot problems. "

" I am always leary about reading an animal book because they usually do not end well. This is a story about a wonderful old man and his relationship with this elephant. It is a good read with a sweet ending. "

" A heart-warming story about a man and his elephant. You can't help but fall in love with Hannah, and cheer on those who are trying to get the best care for her possible. The story drags in the beginning a little too much for my taste, but by the end I couldn't put it down. It is really just a very sweet story. "

" Beautifully written. The characters are engaging y the love story of the elephant well told. "

" The language wasn't great in this book, but the story is very moving. I loved it. "

" If it's the only book you ever read, you haven't missed much. I hope I never forget it! "

" I loved it. It was very enjoyable and touching. I want to read her other books now. "

" I appreciated all the characters, even the unlikeable. "

" Loved the way she developed the characters in this book. Easy, gentle read for summer. "

" I liked the characters, I learned something, and the plot was okay. It wasn't exciting, but it was good and I continued to think about it even after I was finished. "

" Sweet little book about the bond between an elephant and her caretaker. "

" I enjoyed reading this book. "

" I really liked this - a feel good story with interesting characters and an upbeat ending. "

" Wonderful little book. Heart warming without being smarmy. Highly recommend to animal lovers, especially sister Kris who loves elephants and Vicki who loves mammals (and birds and fish and . . . )Thanks to Lori for recommending. "

" This book was delightful - a gentle character study. "

" A delightful story! I loved the quirky characters with the exception of Marthew and Lavinia who did not seem real. "

" Great, heart-warming book! I loved it right away! Was sad when it ended, I wanted more. "

" This was a very sweet book. I enjoyed it a lot! It was so sweet and sentimental. It's an easy read, too. Very enjoyable. If you like elephants or animals or love, this book is for you! "

" I wasn't sure I'd like this book, but I was soon hooked. Diane Hammond told a good story and created characters that the reader cares about. Great easy read. "

" a warm story about love for one another...human or animal. "

" It was a sweet book with excellent characters and characterization. "

" I fell in love with each of the quirky characters, whether human or animal. "

" Good story. Took me a bit to get into it, but glad I stuck with it. Definitely felt attached to Hannah's keeper, Sam and his wife. I liked how nothing was perfect with any of the characters, but working together, the best happened for Hannah. "

" A good read, but not a great book. "
