Mad Dash Audiobook

" This book is about a woman who leaves her husband of 20 years because he won't let her keep a dog she rescues. I really enjoyed it. "

" Ok but not one of my favorites of Patricia Gaffney "

" story of a mid-life crisis and the impact on a marriage... interesting, but didn't like it as much as some of her other books. "

" Sweet ending, but it took FOREVER to get there. "

" I started this book and decided not to read it. It is about a marriage that is struggling and I found it to be very depressing. I probably won't try to read this one again. "

" Okay book - reading the cover looked more interesting than the book actually was...a few odd little obsessions that I didn't care for much "

" This was a light but engaging read about a woman who leaves her husband after their child goes to college. I thought the characters believable and the conflicts (inner too) realistic. I started the book thinking it was silly and lame and in the end I stayed up way too late to finish. "

" Any book that involves a woman escaping to the country for a week off from her life is a good read for me! It did drag on at points but it was enjoyable. "

" Pleasant enough. Warm story about relationships, self-realization, goals & ambitions. "

" Not really enjoying this. Too much dithering on the part of the main character, Dash who wants to shrug off her old life but can't figure out a new one. Feel more sympathy for her abandoned husband than her. Eventually she comes back to her senses but not soon enough for me! "

" Good book. I felt bad for the husband in the book, but sometimes relationships go through things that don't make sense. Basically, I wasn't happy with every move the characters made, but that is the sign of a good book-- It make me care. "

" This book was so boring. I almost didn't finish it. Dull dull dull "

" I loved this book by Patricia Gaffney, because of the wonderful way she handled the delicate story of Dash, who is in the muddled middle of her life. Gaffney writes with such humor and grace and heart. "

" Predictable and not very entertaining "

" Stopped reading after about 100 pages, which is not like me. Just couldn't get into it. Didn't really care about what happened to this couple. "

" This book just did not draw me in. I did finish it and it was okay, but I was just as glad to see it end. The main characters seemed rather childish and self centered and everything seemed to fall together much too perfectly to have any semblance to reality "

" Grade: D+ "

" I am a big fan of patricia Gaffney. "Saving Graces" is one of my favorite books. Her characters are so well done that you really get to know them. it's funny how the charteristics that draw us to a person can soon drive us crazy. but love conquers all. "

" it was a bit slow to start but the ending was good. not as good as her other novels. "

" Never did finish this book. It had to be back at the library and it wasn't holding my interest. "

" This is a story of a woman finding herself. I think it's been done better. "

" I found this book funny and it kept me wondering what was going to happen. Would she and her husband work things out? Should they? "

" If you like Maeve Binchy, you will probably like Gaffney. They do not write in the same way, but their themes of ordinary woman, leading extraordinary lives is very compelling. "

" Just finished it - really really enjoyed it - the ending is a bit predictable but I really enjoyed the writing so I'll look for more by this author. "

" Thought this was going to be just another of those books about a dissatisfied woman who suddenly realizes she hates her husband and wants out of the marriage. Was pleasantly surprised when it did not fit in that pattern. "

" boring the main character was such whinner "

" This book was so boring. I almost didn't finish it. Dull dull dull "

" I'm not very far into this one, but the use of the f word three times so far (plus a few other choice words and other things) makes me think it's not something worth my time. Time to return it to the library. "

" This book had me from the first page, I was hooked. "

" This 355 page book was about 300 pages too long. It was such a cliche, very predictable, and I still do not understand the author's fascination with writing in italics. "

" A story about a 20 yr marriage that has become stale and efforts that are made to make or break it. I like the style of writing by this author. The book is sectioned off by each character telling the story. "

" Ok but not one of my favorites of Patricia Gaffney "

" Pretty much a waste of time. I'm done with Gaffney. "

" story of a mid-life crisis and the impact on a marriage... interesting, but didn't like it as much as some of her other books. "

" Okay book - reading the cover looked more interesting than the book actually was...a few odd little obsessions that I didn't care for much "

" after 20 years of marriage Dash leaves her husband and goes to live in there cabin while she falls in love with her job as a chilrens photographer. this book tells the story of how this couple finds there way back to each other with a a little time and space "
