Last Night in Montreal Audiobook

" The characters in this book were very different than I am, so I didn't really relate to them. But I certainly found them well-written and interesting. The ending was at once depressing and satisfying. Worth reading. "

" I can't believe I forgot to add this book until now! Emily's prose and story are just so gripping and atmospheric- I would have to emotionally prepare myself to enter her universe each time I sat down to read it! "

" Entirely unexpected in so many ways and in the best possible ways. "

" A very unique read...absorbing, arresting, amazing! "

" A pleasant enough reread if you go quickly and don't pay too much attention to the plot. "

" Captivating story that was beautifully written! "

" Simon is the hero of this book. "

" One of the books that SPL recommended to me via their "Your next 5 books" service. A mesmerizing read. "

" Intriguing story about a child's abduction by her noncustodial father and the relentless detective who attempts to find them. Outstanding first novel. I enjoyed the Montreal setting and details about the old city. "

" this was an enjoyable novel that left me wondering. "

" A love story, an adventure story, a chase story, and a search for meaning all come together as three lives intersect. A fast-paced read and a well written debut novel. "

" This is a debut novel by Emily St. John Mandel and it is very well-written and engaging! "

" Well this was quite the book and I will definitely read another by this author. Very interesting plot. Two girls' lives intersect in a very strange way....through their fathers. Unpredictable. "

" Very interesting and unusual story. Definitely a page turner. The ending was a bit unsatisfying, but still worth the read. "

" The intensity and deft pacing of this novel quickly pulled into its almost dreamlike world of coming and going, of knowing and not knowing, of receiving and letting go. For a first novel by this young author I am quite impressed. "

" I think this book had tons of potential, but I feel like the author let me down. The themes and ideas I wanted to explore with her, she didn't explore. And it was hard to make what WAS there matter to me. I never got emotionally invested in any of the characters or in their story. Too bad. "

" loved it. a gem. "

" I loved this. I thought it had a wonderful unfolding, deepening around the same incidents as the story grew. And I loved the questions it raised about the presence and absence. "

" obsession. For over a decade a detective neglects his own daughter while he follows a father who kidnapped a daughter. "

" Haunting story of obsessions. "

" Where did I see this recommended. Eh. "

" This is a hard book to rate. I found it interesting. I wanted to know the ending. But, Lilia was never a character that fascinated me and I don't know how to feel about the conclusion. "

" This writer has skill, no doubt, but this book was just interminable. The characters were so consciously quirky and damaged. The pace was just so slow and painful. I couldn't wait for this one to end. "

" Really good use of flashbacks and jumping timelines. "

" One of the best books I've read in a while. I always have a sense of foreboding when I think an author is going to part with a character I've come to care about in a book but almost unequivocally, the book is better for it. "

" I loved this. I thought it had a wonderful unfolding, deepening around the same incidents as the story grew. And I loved the questions it raised about the presence and absence. "

" Not particularly well written book about dysfunctional young women and men in the big city. (yawn). They do photography. They sit in coffee shops. They go dancing. They are edgy. Interesting revelation at the end but I saw it coming from early on. "

" This grew on me. Some parts are beautiful and interesting - some of the characters are tedious. "

" Eh. Tried too hard to have the characters be intriguing. "
