Heart and Soul Audiobook

" The author develops a lovely story around families and what makes us special and different in our own ways. A interesting touch of how every family influences the lives of there children "

" I almost always love Maeve Binchy books! "

" This was a sweet book. It didn't have a shattering plot and was more of a series of stories tied together, but it was an enjoyable read. This was my first Maeve Binchy novel and I believe I will read her again. I definitely recommend the book. "

" Another Maeve book. Fun and uplifting, not earthshattering. Need to read several of her previous books to fully get it, but would be a fine first Maeve. "

" Sweet and lovely. It might seem a bit all-over-the-place without reading some of Ms. Binchy's other fiction of the past decade, because there are repeat characters who rather abruptly appear. I knew who they were and was glad to see them, but had I not read her other works, I think I'd have been confused. So... get reading those other books, folks, and then read this one! It's worth it. "

" Maeve is always a nice, easy enjoyable read for me. This book was no different. "

" If you liked The Shellseekers you'll like this Maeve Binchy book. I feel like I know her characters and I would recognize them if I met them on the street. Nice gentle read. "

" Easy read. Little jumpy between characters. Certainly not a literary prize, but for a winter book it was just a fine book to curl up with. "

" Fiona and Declan get marries. Clara opens a heart clinic. Love those quirky characters. "

" It was a little slow. I loved that characters from Nights of Rain and Stars were a part of this story as well. "

" I just read this one and loved it! It's a continuation of Nights of moon and stars. Loved it, loved it, loved it! "

" I really love how Binchy weaves her characters lives together so beautifully in all her books and how the books intertwine as well. "

" One of those "good story" books with characters from Binchey's prior novels. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hated to see it end. "

" Vintage Binchy. Nothing too deep, just a good read (only I listened). "

" Good hearted but nothing too thrilling or enlightening. "

" Listened to this on CD and loved it. "

" It was a quick read in typical Binchy fashion. I love that she refers to characters from her other books but you do not need to have read them to realize their overlap. "

" This was a light read with too many characters and not much depth. The author rushed to the finished and tried to solve the characters dilemmas quickly. I was disappoint but stayed until the end. "

" Clara opens a heart Clinic and soon all the employees and patients are entertwined. Fiona from Nights of Rain and Stars and Signora from evening Class return. Fast good Read. "

" This was not my favorite Binchy and was a bit too predictable, but I always enjoy her and this was certainly worth a read. Heart and Soul incorporates characters from other Binchy novels, so if you haven't read her earlier ones, it would help to do so to keep the characters straight. "

" I loved this book! I like how she includes characters from other books but some I felt like I knew they were in another book but couldn't remember the storyline. But I like that is done in a way that if you haven't read her other books it really doesn't matter. "

" Like a visit with old friends - plus a few new ones. A feel-good read. "

" een feelgood roman met niet te veel nadruk op de prins met het witte paard. Het verhaal springt wel nogal snel over van het een personage naar het ander en je leert heel wat personages kennen. "

" I felt this book was a little on the corny side where everything works out perfectly in the end. The characters were well done but just a little too mushy for me. "

" All her books so far have been very enjoyable! "

" Liked but didn't love this book. It's a nice, comfortable read, and it was fun to see some of my favorite characters again, but a lot of the recurring characters are from books I didn't care for as much (Whitethorn Woods and that one that took place in Greece.) "

" I normally LOVE Maeve Binchy, but I just couldn't get into this book. It was waaaaaay too slow. There were also too many characters for me to keep track of. I don't know that I could recommend this book to a friend as being a true representation of Binchy's writing. "

" I enjoy Maeve Binchy. I don't think this is her best, but I always like her stories. "

" Fast, easy, delightful. "

" Quite possibly one of my new favorite authors?! I'm definitely going to try and read more of her books! "

" I'll be a sucker for Maeve til the day she stops writing. "

" Maeve Binchy never disappoints. A feel good story of likable people. References were made to characters in former books. I wish I had remembered them! This was a nice easy listen. "

" I truly enjoy how Maeve Binchy connects so many lives into a wonderful story. "

" Fast read with great, believable characters. As always, I love the Irish setting and culture and the way Binchy weaves the lives of her characters into a cohesive community. "

" This wasn't my favorite Maeve Binchy book, but as always, her writing is entertaining. I like being able to "catch up" with past characters (from previous books). "

" Like Whitethorn Woods, Heart and Soul is a heartwarming collection of interrelated stories centered around a heart clinic in Ireland. Told with the Irish gift of story telling, I fell in love with the characters and their real-life issues, passions, and dreams. "

" A very nice read. I got to catch up with some old friends while meeting new ones. "

" I can't think of any book by Maeve Binchy I haven't enjoyed. "

" I love Maeve Binchy. Her books are warm, friendly and thoroughly enjoyable. She has a way of introducing a myriad of characters without confusion, a trick most authors cannot accomplish . "
