"I think this was a good book but was a little disappointed with the way in which she ended it. I like a good finsihed product and this did not fulfill that. I did enjoy it all the way through till the end so that is why I gave it 4 stars. "

How To Be Lost Listener Reviews
-
" She manages to let the reader know more than the characters do without boring us. Missoula is wonderfully vivid. There isn't a neat ending, which is refreshing. A worthwhile read. "
— Ann, 6/28/2011 -
" This was perhaps the worst book I have ever read. I was compelled by the mystery to finish it, which was a mistake. I felt like it was saturated in references to alcohol and hard liquor, and was just generally left feeling like it didn't deliver anything of value. "
— Lauren, 6/22/2011 -
" The narrator remembers her sister reading "Miss Nelson is Missing". Reading that children's story adds dimension to this novel. "
— Marsha, 6/19/2011 -
" I couldn't put this book down. I just wanted to know what happens next. I loved it. "
— Kathy, 5/16/2011 -
" I can't remember the plot, so I must not have enjoyed. But I also finished it, which means I didn't hate it. "
— Jessica, 5/14/2011 -
" I really liked this book. I read it in an afternoon which is rare for me, but I was sad when it was over. It is a great story to get sucked into with little investment of time or energy. :-) "
— Rebecca, 4/25/2011 -
" Quick, easy, fairly good. A little predictable about midway through. "
— Laura, 4/20/2011 -
" Read for my book club. It was okay. The ending was rather abrupt. There was not much of a connection to the characters. "
— Paula, 4/3/2011 -
" This was supposed to be a book that began with tragedy and end with victory and hope, right? Well, it did, but it was such a twisted way of finding that happy ending, that the whole book was really just depressing. Even the "happy ending" wasn't so happy after all. "
— Haley, 3/12/2011 -
" I was an interesting book. It did jump back and forth between two narrators, so you had to pay close attention. It is a book worth reading. "
— Carol, 3/8/2011
