Heartbroken: A Novel Audiobook

" I love a story that takes several characters that seem to be unrelated and have them all careen into one another for interesting results. Quick read! "

" Have never read this author before and don't know what the big fuss is. So many gaping holes and unanswered story lines. "

" Meh. Not great, skimmed the last 150 pages because I really didn't care enough to read in detail. "

" Should have been called 'bad domesticity', frightfully mundane and unlikeable characters, and not so much of a thrill than a faked squeal... The writing is okay, but it doesn't hang together resulting in a bit of a forgettable read. "

" I was hoping it would be really suspenseful since it got such good reviews from fellow mystery and thriller writers, but it was disappointing. It was pretty much fluff with slight suspence. Though I did enjoy the setting of the Island in the Adirondacks. Its the kind of book you might read on vacation or something. "

" This book started out slow but it really had a great story with many twists at the end. "

" So much of this book was negative and sad that I just could not enjoy it. I never really connected to the characters but I did find the island haunting intruiging. "

" Read like a Nancy Drew mystery. Didn't like the way a criminal was made out to be a good person after she was a part of stealing, death, and arson. "

" This is not my usual type of book but it kept me reading ....... Party mystery, part ghost story, part bad guys invade island. Easy read but not gripping. "

" Really an intriquing story, the interect between the lives of a mother, daughter and another young lady set against an old mystery and family dysfuntion. "

" The intertwining of lives that at first isn't apparent. At times hard to follow since the telling of the story changes frequently. Overall a decent book, but not the best I have read. "

" This book is more family drama and less thriller, but overall was interesting to read. Three women are brought together on the island with various personalities and dreams. Part of the story is on the generations before and secrets of the family. "

" I had been told to give Lisa Unger a chance; now I have and I don't have to ever again. This book is halfway between a family saga and suspense but neither aspect is very interesting and the characters are stereotypical and predictable. Not sure why I bothered finishing it. "

" I enjoyed this book - family secrets create drama. "

" The first half of this book was BORING!, but the second half was OK. It took a long time for introduction of characters before there was any sign of a story. I liked other books by this author so I was disappointed. "

" Story of how you early childhood and experiences can shape your life. "

" Too many stories going on in this book. The author should have had someone do some serious editing! "

" I enjoyed the unique story and how the lives of the characters intertwined. Think of it more like family drama than thriller. I like how she writes - have enjoyed everything she has written. My favorites though, and I have recommended them many times, are Beautiful Lies and Sliver of Truth. "

" Good story, but dragged in the middle a bit. Good characters and setting. "

" Fun book, interesting characters, nice mystery. I'd like to give it 3-1/2 stars if I could, it is just a little shy of 4! I'm going to find her other books and read them. "

" I love Lisa Unger's books. This one was good, too, but I liked her other ones better. The character of Emily really got on my nerves at some points...I know that sounds silly, but she did. :) "

" Good book, although not a thriller. Thought provoking and earnest family drama. "

" Little boring. Family drama. Sibling rivalry. Not a thriller. "

" Pretty good... didn't expect to like it as much as I did.. a little long in the ending.. You somehow wanted them to just " get on with it already" but I was interested and looked forward to reading it. "

" An OK light read for summer. I didn't care for the construction of the book--its back and forth narrative just ran on too much for me. Some interesting characters, an OK plot(although I spotted it coming a long ways away), but nothing more. "
