More Than It Hurts You Audiobook

" sooo good. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to hear the verdict. I only wish there were a few more chapters. it didn't end like I wanted. I really enjoyed it though. "

" a bit of a disappointment. "

" Great book. Disturbing subject. The story just catches you at the beginning. However, there are a few slow points - the father's release from jail/ the Upfront sales - which was a disappointment considering how great the rest of the book is. Loved the use of metaphors and similes peppered throughout. Really would have like it to continue with the story. "

" Didn't like it. There were too many side stories that meant nothing. Darlene's idea on the essay she wanted to write called "rot." The dad was CLUELESS. At the end he sort or redeems himself. SORT OF. Sort of left me going, huh...wha?? "

" I love this guy's books for two reasons. First, they're the OH MY GOD DOES THIS HAPPEN TO REAL PEOPLE kind of stuff that makes you happy you aren't a siamese twin. Second, his powers of description are incredible. Parts of this book are painful to read, or wince-worthy, but I kept going because all of the characters are people I wanted to figure out -- all very complicated, sometimes likable, sometimes horrible. "

" This was a great story line but not a great story. He often trailed off for pages at a time about things that were irrelevant to the book. It actually really annoyed me to read it but I had to find out what was going to happen to the mom so I kept reading. "

" I found the style of writing and character development annoying. I didn't really relate or like any of the characters. The pace was way too slow. The one part of the plot I like was they way he portrayed life's unfairness especially when searching for justice. It got me a bit fired up! "

" Heard an interview of this guy on NPR and picked it up. Its pretty boring really, and awfully choppy. The story dragging and tippy toeing around Munchausens. Cheap brainless fiction novel. "

" A real page turner, one that you just hate to put down. I read this book in two days flat. "

" Good story, but way too much detail. The book could have been half as long as it is. "

" Very good book about a VERY hard subject - Manchussen's Proxy (am I spelling that correctly?) For all the mother's out there - this is a must read. "

" I ended up liking this book more than I thought I would. There seems to be a lot of digression into back story at various points throughout but it actually has a bearing as the story resolved. Very interesting description of Munchausen by proxy and the controversial nature of the diagnosis. "

" I cannot put this book down....a very unique plot. "

" A very interesting subject but the book was lacking some things for me. More details on the trial and on the outcome. "

" This was a little sad, especially since I just added a new baby to the family. I can hardly believe what people do. Plus a little frustrating, why don't people ask more questions or communicate better with each other? "

" This is a story about a Munchhausen case. Interesting perspective on what each person is thinking from the mother to the father and the doctors. "

" interesting topic, picked for book club. "

" Interesting premise, but too many characters that were not even very well developed and did little to further the storyline. read more like an outline than a finished product. I was very dissapointed. "

" Meh... It was a good story but not a lot of substance. "

" Fragmented story telling from multiple perspectives and all over time. Many of the chapters felt unnecessary. Little continuity. Interesting topic but the story telling left a lot to be desired. "

" The book was average. The author spent more time describing scenes then describing the actual events of the story. The topic is intersting though, but I just wish the story was developed more. "

" It was a decent book. It kept my attention once I warmed up to it, but I did not devour it like I do most books. I wish the book would have fast forwarded through some of the beginning stuff and then slowed down toward the end, maybe even gone on a bit longer. "

" I wanted more at the end. It definitely kept me reading, but getting to the end, I wanted more explanation and more story! "

" Interesting tale of a family whose wife's Munchausen by proxy syndrome (and training as a phlebotomist) leads her to "bleed" her baby in order to get attention from her husband, and the repercussions for all involved, including the doctor who diagnoses the woman's condition. "

" Mother harming her own child, father believes mother, doctor doesn't. Really interesting idea. Starts really well but trundles towards the end. The media interest and the doctor's father don't add much to the plot. "

" Forced myself to read through this one hoping I could connect to the style, writer, and characters. Guess I'm learning something about my reading preferences/style - this was not enough emotion, intensity or compassion for me. I wanted more dirt, depth and dimension to all the characters. "

" Interesting premise, but too many characters that were not even very well developed and did little to further the storyline. read more like an outline than a finished product. I was very dissapointed. "
