Lola's Secret Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Bought this at Target when I needed something to read while waiting for my son. I have read the author's other books and enjoyed them. I was unsure of this book as I read it. I didn't like it as much as the others but still enjoyable. Maybe because I could not identify with Lola. "

" A pleasant enough story, not too taxing however it was a bit predictable. "

" I normally enjoy reading books written by Monica McInerney but Lola's Secret was quite disappointing. It was slow to start, the story line seemed pointless and it was boring. It seemed that this book was written for the sake of writing something, not because she felt passionately about the subject matter. "

" I received this book from good-reads first reads and I found it a bit bland. I only got up through page 50 and had to stop. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't terribly exciting. It seemed like a lot of other books portraying an average family during the holidays. The family had the same problems all other families have. The only interesting person at all was the grandmother. I give the book 2 stars because like I said, it's not horrible, it's just too plain. "

" The story had no "meat" to it and I got quite bored with it. "

" Ideal read for a rainy day to escape "

" Light fluff, but sweet. At times I could see Shirley MacLain as Lola, the 84 year old "heroine" (physically) but Betty White also because of her personality. This would probably make a cure movie. "

" An easy read and fun as I have been to the places mentioned in the book which always makes it more interesting. "

" given to me as a gift. not my style but an ok' I just want to pass the time without any effort' read. I've been given her books before (not sure why) and they do all seem to follow the same formula, even down to cover design. holiday read.... "

" A stunningly beautiful novel, as are all of Monicas books. Each & every one unputadownable!! READ THEM ALL!! "

" From start to finish this book is just delightful. It proves that age is just a number and you should just get on with it and enjoy every moment. "

" Monica did it again, and I LOVE the Lola character!! "

" I love Monica McInerney's books which all take place in Australia. This one continues the storyline started in The Alphabet Sisters and The Faraday girls. Lola is the grand dame of the family who plots to spend Christmas all alone in peace and quiet. That is not in the cards. Gentle and enjoyable. "

" 2.5 stars. It was fine. Not great, not terrible. Did not really have to think much while reading it which is good sometimes. "

" This was an okay book, and obviously in the middle of a series which I didn't know, but it meandered a lot. The main character is an eccentric grandma, whom I liked, but the rest left me hanging. Not sure if I'd read another by this author. "

" This was the sweetest book about a feisty grandmother and how important she is to her family and community. Includes a sweet love story, too... "

" this was a great read.... a great finish to the Alphabet Sisters....highly recommend! "

" A pleasant read. Won't change your life. "

" Very cute, fun read... perfect for Spring Break. I appreciated the fact that the author didn't leave everyone's relationship wrapped up in a pretty package. I was surprised and that doesn't happen too often. "

" 3.5 stars. Always enjoyable - sweet and poignant and funny. "
