Motherland: A Novel Audiobook

" Very fun, rather light, definitely worth a quick read. "

" Memorable for that fact that it contained some of the most immature, selfish, reprehensible characters ever, with hardly a redeeming quality among them. "

" One of those books where you don't like anyone in it and feel no sympathy when they get their just desserts. "

" Entertaining read but pretty fluffy. The namedropping and specificity of place and brands was both irritating and essential to setting the scene. In spite of being a light read, I ended up feeling pretty down by the end of the book. It's really more about struggles in marriage than about motherhood. "

" Good lite summer read. "

" Amy Sohn writes about a neighborhood I live close to and function in from time to time. This book was a follow up to "Prospect Park West" which, while snarky, was a page turner. "Motherland" I would have given 2 stars to for how unsatisfying the many plots were and how terrible ALL characters were. But at the same time, another star had to be added for page-turning ability and good cultural observations. Writing style: bitchy, snarky, addictive. Some of the book I just skipped over because I didn't want to go there! "

" Ok, I tried, I really tried but everyone was so unlike able and I could not stand her insertion of real celebrities. Ugh. Could not spend any more time on this "

" Funny and interestingly plotted, but I liked her last book better. It seemed like she rushed through this one and the writing wasn't as sharp. There are, however, laugh-out-loud moments and, as always with Sohn, a lot of sex! "

" Any easy enjoyable read. Seemed pretty far fetched in parts. "

" Compulsively readable but a little too demented for my liking. "

" Characters that interested me. Made me want to turn the pages. Tons of sex if you're into that. Everyone was cheating on someone. "

" More fun and trashy than the prequel. "

" I thought this might be an entertaining, mindless read. I could not get more than about 40 pages in. These characters are horrible. And not in an interesting way. The narrative is just as bad. "

" A follow-up to Prospect Park West, we again meet up with some of the same characters who are trying to navigate parenthood, marriage and careers. "

" kinda strange but i liked it "

" Yup, this one was just as awful and fun-to-read as I had expected! Terrible rich people messing up their lives in so many delicious ways, ridiculous plot twists, and more name-dropping than an "Us" cover story. (Jon Hamm has a surprisingly large role. I wonder how he feels about that?) "

" About 16% as much fun as it should be. "
