Keturah and Lord Death Audiobook

" This is a modern fairy tale under an extreme premise: What if the "true love" of your life turns out to be Death himself? This could easily have turned into a simple romance, but Ms. Leavitt provides the listener/reader with a wealth of surprisingly deep insights into the nature of love and death. The books is well read by Ms. Bresnahan, and I can recommend it highly for anybody interested in fantasy with some depth, "

" Another good fairy-tale, except with Lord Death instead of Fairies. "

" Keturah follows a legendary hart deep into the forest and becomes lost. 3 days later Lord Death comes for her. She tells a story, but bargains one day for the ending. Each day Keturah uses her storytelling skills to gain more time to save her village. If Keturah can find her true love, Death will spare her. A fairytale comes to life, and Keturah faces the ultimate choice. "

" A sweet romance about appreciating the small things in life. "

" I got a bit tired of Keturah trying to find her own true love. I think it would be better received by high school girls. I'm probably too jaded. "

" Totally predictable, but I loved every page! "

" A lovely fairy tale--simple plot, but elegantly written and neatly executed. "

" 3.5 stars. Quite a pleasant read. Enjoyable, poignant, wistful. My only complaint is that it is a bit too short. "

" It was too much of a fairy tale for me, and it didn't really hold my interest. "

" I guessed at what they ending would be, but that didn't spoil the book because by the end, it became a much more difficult decision and yet I could understand why she would make it, in a weird way. Really interesting book. "

" One of the best books I've read all year. Loved the setting, the characters, the writing. Everything about it! Really amazing read. "

" Even though I predicted the end it was still a fair dance between death and Keturah. This is a unique book where you can experience a fairy tale for grown up. "

" This book was shortish but good! lol i finished it in a day! "

" I really liked this book. It had a predictable ending but it was the ending that was the best and the one that I wanted. easy read, read in two days or so. "

" Read for book club... at first I wasn't sure what I thought of it, but the story line drags you in and you want to find out what happens. One of the most unusual books I've ever read, but it did make me cry. Gives interesting viewpoints of death that left me thinking. "

" One of the best books ever! It's really good, and totally clean. If you love the Twilight series then you'll definately love this book. "

" This is a marvelous book, thoughtful, surprising, and romantic, but always with an awareness that there are larger and more important things than romance, which gives it a depth not often seen in the here-and-now of YA literature. And the writing is pure and fine. Don't miss it. "

" Fluffy, short story about a girl who charms her way out of death. "

" A mysterious mythical fantasy with lovely poetic language that begs to be read aloud. Leavitt does an excellent job creating tension and building suspense to the climatic scene. She builds in subtle clues that lead to, although a surprise at first, an inevitable ending. "

" I liked poetry of the book - how death was a person - but overall I thought it was just sort of a cheesy love story and very simple. Though I suppose it was a fast fun read. "

" This one was refreshing and different. I liked the idea of unwittingly causing something by trying to prevent it. I wasn't completely sold on the ending, but it's a great one to think about and discuss afterwards. "

" Liked this book. Wished Lord Death and Keturah had a more romantic interaction, the ending did satisfied me. "

" Dark and lovely and unique. Jesse "

" AMAZING book! <br/>i absolutely LOVED this book. <br/>I could read it over and over againa and recommend it to anyone. <br/> "

" What a gorgeously written and plotted story. It has the atmosphere of a fairy tale, and ended just the way all fairy tales ought to end and rarely do. Brava, Leavitt, for a yarn worthy of Mann or Hesse at the height of their powers. "

" I am extremely surprised that I haven't added this book yet. When this is by far one of my favorite love stories. (Thanks Jolee for recommending it by the way) A must-read!! "

" About life and the point of living, more than it is about death. Five stars despite the sappy elements. A writer who understamds the sacrifices involved in true happiness. "

" I really liked this one. I felt like it was a little too short but I really liked it. "

" I really didn't know who Keturah was going to end up with. The author led us on a merry little goose chase with all the &quot;suitors&quot;. Can't say that I agree with who she finally ended up with. Where's the happy ending?! "

" This book brought me to tears. It's poetic, insightful, and perfectly paced. The Creme Brulee of YA lit. I'm in awe of this author. "
