Download Harvest Audiobook

" Human nature at its best/worse. Dark tale set in English countryside 1800's. "

" A well-written story about the collision of different ways of life. "

" The arrival of three strangers in a quiet agrarian village presages the dissolution of the villagers' way of life in Crace's beautiful new novel. Elegant, gentle prose transports the reader to the pastoral stillness of the story's pre-industrial landscape, while human missteps and manipulations propel the plot forward. "

" I would give this book 4.5 stars if I could, because while the writing was stellar, the story (and main character) lacked a wee bit. So....First of all, the writing is amazing. Honestly, I felt like I was swimming in beautiful poetic descriptions of everything in the book. It was like experiencing the most beautiful painting, but Jim Crace uses words. I cannot say enough about the writing! On the other hand, the main character of the book was a bit of an oddball and the story, while engaging, came to a bit of an unsatisfying end. Not that books should all have happy endings, but this was was just weird. Perhaps the main character was going slowly crazy? I don't know. But I would make everyone read it just for the beauty and poetry of the writing. "

" Well paced, thoughtful and introspective without navel gazing, and poetic while remaining grounded. Timeless, despite the medieval setting. Comforting, despite the violence and death. It is an extremely simple book, which is the most complex kind of all. "

" Brilliant. Beautifully written, has you hooked from start to finish. Amazing attention to detail. I highly recommend it. "

" Wow, this is good. "

" I would give this 3 and 1/2 stars. Slow paced but interesting story about a time and place we don't usually encounter in books today.A story about consequences and fateful actions. "

" This is the first book by Crace that I have read. He is an amazing writer. The plot, the descriptions of the land and the emotions were beautifully done. I'm looking forward to reading more of his books. "

" The story lacked a lot of the layers may other authors writing about this time period and setting use to develop the story. I didn't feel like I wasted time but wouldn't recommend. "

" I love a good medical suspense novel every now and then.
"

" I love reading Tess Gerritsen and this book didn't disappoint. Lots of twists and turns. This is the first book I read on my new Kindle 3 and it was great!!! "

" I really enjoyed this one! I never expected the ending! And it really made me think about illegal harvesting of organs, could this really happen in the USA? "

" I loved it - it was unpredictable. "

" When this book got exciting, it stayed exciting until the end. "

" Good pace. Interesting plot. A little predictable. Liked it. "

" Somehow this is not unpredictable as I expected.... "

" Audio -- quite similar to Coma but not as good. "

" I enjoyed this mystery. It was hard to put down and didn't have just filler in the middle to make it longer. as so many murder mysteries do. I give it 4 stars. "

" This was a medical mystery about heart transplants. It was okay but not great. "

" I'm a huge fan of this author and I don't think I could mark anything by her lower than 4 stars. She uses amazing imagery, her characters are well developed, and she has an excellent way of keeping the reader turning the pages, on the edge of their seats. Harvest is no different. "

" Fast paced medical mystery (which i'm not sure i've read a medical mystery before.) Kept me going from start to finish.
I really enjoy this author, have yet to read one i haven't liked. "

" Needed a better ending. I'm glad her later books developed better than this one. "
