How Nancy Drew Saved My Life Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I enjoyed the story for the most part but it seemed to have a lot of holes in the story line. I did not get too much into the main character but this story's premise had promise. I would like to have seen it go more strongly into the espionage and to have developed the characters more thourally. "

" This book really had nothing going for it. The main character was not lovable, deep or interesting. At 23 she develops this weird obsession with Nancy Drew (for no good reason) then goes to Iceland where it seems that all Icelanders carry a copy of some Nancy Drew book around with them--although it is never quite explained why this is the case as you read the book. I would also venture to guess that this little "tidbit" is totally untrue. The main character is naive and doesn't seem to get what love is. Her rocky relationship with her father and even worse relationship with her aunt seem to be merely hinted at, although they are the driving force of the main character's actions. The character she sits next to on the plane serves no purpose other than to be mostly rude, annoying and crazy. I don't like to not finish a book, so I did read the entire thing, but I didn't find myself enjoying it until the last two or three chapters...if that. This one is definitely a "don't bother." "

" I don't think I could really recommend this book to anyone. It was trying too hard to be funny, but it didn't really succeed. Also, I was annoyed by how many times the author used the word "intrepid!" "

" I felt it didnt really have an ending, disappointed, good idea no direction "

" I really hated this book. There was nothing good about it to recommend. I don't remember why I finished it. Maybe to see if it would get better. It didn't. This is about a foolish girl that takes a job far from home and does stupid things. Don't read this, even if you love Nancy Drew books (like I do). It won't help. "

" I was lured in by the title of this book. It was pretty bad! My book was missing about 30 pages from the middle of it, and I swear the book manufacturer did me a favor. Total crap! "

" A nanny on the rebound takes a job in Iceland for an American ambassador with secrets. A quick, fluffy read. Baratz-Logsted takes the cliches of the genre and applies them in a quirky and fun way. "

" I really just couldn't get into this no matter how hard I tried... "

" Time pass. I really don't like her style. "

" The title should hav been a clue- one of the worst books I've ever read. Gives chick-lit a bad name. I'm embarassed I finished it. Do not waste your time on this one!!! "

" Quick read - cute and entertaining. "

" When i saw this book on the shelf it seemed so intresting! WRONG! Soooooo boring and just awful! And the main character was a creep! Shes 23. Has a weird obcession with nancy drew. Goes to iceland to be a nanny. (wow shes got alot going fore her!) "

" This book was so horrible that my friends and I started a Terrible Book Club where we passed around a copy in which we wrote snarky comments in the margins. "

" This was a quick, fun read. There was some telescoping that made many of the story parts predictable....but I liked the fact that the story took place in Iceland and I liked the parallel to the Nancy Drew stories. cute. "

" Just simply couldn't get into it. Thought I would like it given being a fan of Nancy Drew books growing up. Must be the writing style that didn't get me hooked. Didn't finish. "

" This book started out pretty interesting. By the end it was extremely unbelievable. I would not recommend this book to anyone. "

" I love a grown woman who reads through every word of her Nancy Drew books in order to learn to solve a mystery! Oh, how I miss Nancy Drew! But, the mystery in this story wasn't quite as good as those that Nancy solved. "

" Very good, cute funny chick lit. "

" Despite having Nancy Drew in the title (which attracted me), it's basically a thinly veiled retelling of Jane Eyre that does not add anything interesting. You might as well just read Jane Eyre unless you don't have time then go for this pared down version instead with the pretty cover. "

" This book started out a five star and then fell flat, the end was awful. I really enjoyed the Icelandic aspect and the mystery and then.......down ....down.....down....too bad it was a great story too bad it couldn't finish as strong as it started. "

" I honestly don't know why I keep reading books by this author. Oh, that's right, a title caught my interest, and I forgot my list when I went to the library. I just don't like any of her main characters. "

" Bridget Jones meets Jane Eyre. "

" Kind of a ripoff of Jane Eyre. Fantastical, but not necessarily fantastic. The writing style was pleasant but the dialogue was cheesy and the ending was unsatisfying. "

" Reminded me very much of Julie and Julia. The ending was very anticlimactic, but it was a good mindless read. "

" Good premise undone by the world's most annoying heroine. A pity. Chick lit authors: you actually have to make your main characters likeable. Put some effort into it. "

" eehh, it was ok. There were some good spots. I found it to be very predicatable and the main character was frustrating. It had more potential than it lived up to. "

" A nanny on the rebound takes a job in Iceland for an American ambassador with secrets. A quick, fluffy read. Baratz-Logsted takes the cliches of the genre and applies them in a quirky and fun way. "

I would like to have seen it go more strongly into the espionage and to have developed the characters more thourally. "

" Complete and utter froth, with a few Jane Eyre references thrown. If you've read Jane Eyre you'll catch the references, and if you haven't it won't derail you. "

" I don't think I could really recommend this book to anyone. It was trying too hard to be funny, but it didn't really succeed. Also, I was annoyed by how many times the author used the word "intrepid!" "

" It was nothing spectacular, in fact at times a bit annoying. "

" I liked the premise of this book and the descriptions of Iceland, but the ending was unrealistic and ruined it for me. "

" This book started out a five star and then fell flat, the end was awful. I really enjoyed the Icelandic aspect and the mystery and then.......down ....down.....down....too bad it was a great story too bad it couldn't finish as strong as it started. "

" This book was just not good...a lot of times, I found the story contradictory. I struggled to get thru this one. "
