Little Night: A Novel Audiobook

" I have read most of the author's books. This one is the worst ever. The story concerns an estranged family. Once two sisters, Claire and Anne, were close. Now they haven't spoken for years, since Anne's husband accused Claire of trying to kill him, with Anne agreeing, and Caire went off to prison for a while. One day, years after her release, Anne's daughter, Grit, shows up at Claire's door and stays on with her. The story line is weak. The sequence of events, slowly put forth through the book is not done well. Claire and Grit are the best developed characters in the story. The character of Grit's mother is very badly developed. There is a simmering (for years if you can believe it!) relationship between Claire an a park ranger, Paul, but it is not well developed, and, if better done, could have made the story more palitible. Even Grit's relationship with a boy/man she meets leaves much to be desired. The only other character, one I grew to hate, was Grit's father, who is a bully and tyrant and basically the root of everyone's problems. I found it difficult to just get through the book. "

" I am a Luanne Rice fan and have read all of her books. I did not think this was one of her better books. I had a hard time with the characters and at the end just felt like there was a lot of loose ends. Can't really put my finger on it, but there was just something off about this book for me. "

" My friend Michelled loaned me this and I almost read it all in one day ..but I fell asleep.. I liked it.. and enjoyed the story.. but that is all I just liked it.. and one day it will blend in with all the other books that I read.. "

" I've been increasingly disappointed in Luanne Rice's books. This one was "okay", but not gripping like some of her past books. If you're a bird lover, you might love this book! "

" I liked this book but not the ending. However, it made me think. "

" not as good as her other books. a decent read however. "

" Definitely worth reading. Loved it "

" Disturbing story, but very well written. Enjoyed it. "

" I've been a big fan of Luanne Rices since "Beach Girls". Well written and unique. "

" I was disappointed in this book. It seems the last few books by L. Rice aren't as good as her earlier ones. "

" I won this book from the GOod Reads Frist reads giveaway. I loved this book, I thought it was so beautiful and tragic. I really enjoyed the characters and getting to know them. "

" An interesting read; definitely not your typical love story. I liked it well enough, but some parts were hard to believe. I enjoyed the nature aspect of it though. "

" This was a good book, but there has to be a follow-up! Quick read because you can't put it down! "

" I got this book on audio from the library. Other than the sections being put on in the wrong order and sections missing, I really enjoyed this story. The slot was great. I enjoyed the relationships and dynamics between the characters. I especially liked the nature and natural elements. "

" Very compelling story about the relationship between two sisters and one of their daughters. It follows the years-long impact of an abusive husband on their relationship. It's really quite good. "

" Not one of her better title, sisters ill defined, and plot too thin. "

" A story about family dynamics, what some families do to each other and forgiving. Wasn't sure I would stick with the book when I started out then reached a point where I had to read on to find out what happens! Was dissapointed the way it just ended. "

" Unusual story as many of Luane Rice's are. Not quite as involving as usual, but still well worth reading. "

" Stopped halfway bored didnt like character or plot "

" Good plot but very thin on character development and background. I really wanted the author to give me more character motivation. The opportunities were there, just never realized. "

" This was one of the best books I have read all summer. So much more detailed and involved than her usual work. Compelling. "

" Sounded like a great book but had a hard time finishing it. Several times contemplated not finishing. "

" Not having any sisters, I could not really identify personally with their relationship, but I still thought the book was good. I wish a little more had been written about Anne, especially what happened after she returned to New York. "

" I loved this story. I loved the mystery this had throughout the whole book and I loved how this story ended. "

" ugh!!!!!!!!should be on teen age girl shelves. "

" very good book, usually like Luanne rice this was no exception. Didn't end how expected it would... Very good twists.. : ) "
