Looking for Peyton Place (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" Again, one of my favorite Delinsky novels. A little slow getting started but I love the dialogue between Annie and James. "

" I really liked this book. It was all about passion - passionate causes, people, romance, sex, etc. All around good book. "

" I enjoyed reading this book but there wasn't really anything spectacular about it. It was a good story. The next to last paragraph was my favorite in the whole book, so it had a cute ending. "

" Barbara Delinsky got me hooked on reading with her Coast Road. This book was a great read and went fast. Very interesting plot and characters. "

" Barbara Delinsky is a new author for me, and overall I find her writing style pleasing. The main character Annie is likeable enough to follow as she returns to her hometown in search of answers of her mother's death. Driven by the voice of Peyton Place author Grace, Annie struggles to uncover the truth before completely burying her own sanity. A troubled past with the town's dominating Meade family, and Annie's broken relationship with her sisters leave readers to wonder if she will ever uncover the mystery of her mother's death. "

" I like some of Delinsky's books, but not all. I did like this one. When a snoopy writer turns up in town, the residents are determined to keep their darkest secrets to themselves. I read this some time ago, so just picked a date. "

" Growing up in a small town, I could really relate to this book. I love Barbara Delinsky--she really draws you into the characters. They feel like friends when you are done reading. "

" Kind of a fun read/listen, especially if you are a fan of Peyton Place. The telling of the story from a first and third person POV worked well, but ultimately a beach/vacation book. "

" I love Barabra Delinsky books... they are always a good story, a quick read and leave me happy at the end. This one did not disappoint!! "

" Another great one by Barbara Delinsky "

" I was bored with this book--too much like Erin Brockovich (which I loved, but once is enough). "

" Takes us back 50 years, and how we have changed. Delinsky shows us just how fragile our earth is, and how companys damage our earth. Truth # 7. It doesn't matter how old you are. Lonely is lonely. "

" I enjoy all of Barbara's books. They aren't perfectly free of descriptive writing if i remember right. This one is my favorite from her... "

" I was extremely bored with this book, I couldn't get past the first chapter and when I got to the end, I couldn't remember what I had read. "

" I need to read the original Peyton Place, but this book was intriguing anyway. It supposedly takes place in the town that was written about in the original book by Grace Metalious. I liked the characters, and it was an easy read. "

" I think I would have liked it better if I knew about peyton place, but it was okay. "

" Listened to abridged audio version. Writer goes back home to figure out what happened to her mother because now her sister is showing the same symptoms. "

" So slow to begin with and then it became far to predictable. Ok, but not great. No need to recommend or read again. "

" This is a summer beach read, but sometimes you need that in February. The end tied up too neatly, but the ride was fun and escapist and just perfect for winter weariness. A quick read. "

" A little bit of a slow start, but really picked up. About an author who was inspired by the author of Peyton Place. She return to her home town where everyone thinks she is going to write a book about them. Good characters who change and grow. "

" This book is intriquing in its references to the author of Peyton Place throughout. She's a good writer. Her books are more slices of life with good plots. I'll be reading more of hers. "

" I can't remember what made me want to read Peyton Place, but I thought would be an interesting read after enjoying its namesake. Not the case; the narrator annoyed me and seemed to have a huge chip on her shoulder. In the end, it seemed to be a cheap ploy to gain readership. "

" I enjoyed this book but it makes me wonder if I should read Peyton Place now?! "

" This is a summer beach read, but sometimes you need that in February. The end tied up too neatly, but the ride was fun and escapist and just perfect for winter weariness. A quick read. "

" So slow to begin with and then it became far to predictable. Ok, but not great. No need to recommend or read again. "

" If you liked the movie Peyton Place then you would love this book. It is a cute story about the town after the scandal, it has definately inspired me to read the book Peyton Place (I Loved the movie!) "

" A woman comes back to her hometown in search of answers in a city where secrets are well kept "

" I love this author! Every book of hers is riveting and interesting. Her characters are rich and believable. And her story lines always keep me turning pages. This book touched me the most, I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend it, just a great read. "

" I think I would have liked it better if I knew about peyton place, but it was okay. "

" Too slow. Just couldn't get into the characters. "

" Good book. About an outsider with a difficult childhood,trying to reconnect with her siblings. Along the way she finds that she can be accepted for who she is by being herself and winning people over by letting them see her genuine side. "

" What pulls us apart is sometimes what draws us to each other. "

" This book reminded me the time when i was a little girl, and I used to ask so many questions, that my parents were going crazy. The book is awesome... It's easy to read, but also has the strongest line of characters.<br/><br/>So, I recommend it to everyone. Enjoy it guys. "

" A good feel read....and justice too! "

" I really enjoyed this book. I enjoy reading books that encourage looking beyond the obvious and working towards a solution. "
