Lady of the Butterflies: A Novel Audiobook

" I liked this book, but the pace was a bit slow for my tastes. Still, a fascinating glimpse into that era. "

" I didnt expect this to make me cry or offer so many insights, I just thought it would be interested to read a factual account of a real early female naturalists life. Even though it touched me, I am still only giving it 3 stars. Not sure why, it just didnt feel like a 4 or 5 star book while reading it. "

" one of the best i ve read. sensetive & very charming. I finished it wanted to read it again. "

" Very good historical novel. The title and cover mislead you into thinking it's an historical romance and, to an extent, it is; but it is mainly about the life of Eleanor Glanville, a respected entymologist in the late 17th century. The descriptions of butterflies are wonderful. "

" Loved this book. I think I'm beginning to have a thing for historical fiction. "

" I found this story odd, I loved the characters and the understanding of social history as well as the interesting life story of Eleanor. However the description was a little to flowery for my tastes and some of the story's 'twists' were very predictable. "

" I liked Ms. Mountain's other books, which centered on genealogy and mysteries. This one was little better than a trashy romance novel though. I read about 150 pages and couldn't take it any more. "

" A emotional book. I spent a lot of time feeling very sorry for her and constantly wishing things were different in her life...I guess that's real life though. "

" I found this book was entertaining and fast paced. If you are a fan of historical fiction this a perfect weekend choice. "

" Just the right combination of history and romance. Flew through the book and would highly recommend. "

" Not amazed but certainly not disappointed by this work. Honestly just an average work with interesting character and a connection to a true story. "

" This is the kind of book I ought to enjoy - historical fiction, strong and interesting heroine - but somehow I didn't. I felt like it was *almost* really good. I kept reading b/c I was waiting to get to the really good part. And somehow I never did. Kind of an odd experience. "

" I enjoyed this on audio CD - 17 of them. Historical fiction with strong women and dashing gents. "

" A great story weaving a fictional tale around the life of the first lady entomologist. Found it hard to put down. "

" It was a very good story. I found it had a little too much filler, however. Too much silly description of everything, too many frilly words. But a beautiful story, well portrayed. I read the history, and this comes close. It's a good read, though it took me a while to get through. "

" one of the best i ve read. sensetive &amp; very charming. I finished it wanted to read it again. "

" Cool story, interesting times, well written. good choice if you are looking for something a little different in the historical fiction genre. "

" An excellent book, easy to read. The plot turns different exactly when neccesary alowing the reader not to feel tired! <br/>I read it in 2 days, couldn't live it from my hands! <br/>I tell you that i cried at the end! "

" This book was quite honestly amazing, I laughed , I cried and there were times when I didn't want to read on it was so heartbreaking. A book I picked up on an off chance and now will probably read again I enjoyed it so much. If I had to sum up this book in one word it would be.... Beautiful. "
