Newes from the Dead Audiobook (Unabridged)

" While the story moves along slowly, it's fascinating and emotional! Based on a true story, I think Hooper did a great job building the characters around the event. "

" Hanged for a crime she did not commit---died and then wasn't dead anymore----and the story is true! It was pretty interesting. "

" Well done book about the true story of Anne Green who was hanged and "came back to life" (or perhaps never died). I liked the way the author fleshed out the story with period details to make it seem more real, and made sure at the end to note that they were fictional. "

" This story definately kept me interested. The suspense that built up while waiting to find out if she would wake up or not added to the greatness of it. "

" A book based on an actual event: in 1651, a young English woman was convicted and hanged for the crime of infanticide.....except she didn't die. This book tells the story and does a good job. It kept my interest and I learned a lot about British law and the lower classes during that time. "

" Most fantastic book I have ever read. I love this book! "

" I wanted to like this more than I did. A quick read, but a little dry. It seemed to reflect the language of the time (although I'm certainly not an expert) but didn't grab me the way I thought this story could have. I mean, the girl was wrongly accused, hung, and did not die. That's exciting! But the narrative, unfortunately, wasn't. I did like the alternating points of view, though, from the girl and the apprentice. "

" Really liked the concept. Kept my interest throughout. "

" Creepy fun! I am a lover of historical fiction. "

" Newes From The Dead id a very good read once you get past the old english.I suggest all of you read this. "

" WONDERFULLY TOLD - i liked the switching off of chapters between her and the scholar. this story was a capitivating true story! "

" This was a great book I couldn't put down. And there aren't many of those books for me. "

" Unusual - very strong start. Weaker ending "

" I really enjoyed reading this book, however, it is very spooky to read. "

" read this book while sitting at the hospital getting registered for surgery. Possibly not the best setting for reading it. "

" this book was really good. i would recommend it!! "

" Hanged as a witch (and innocent) ... but did not die. Supposedly based on a true story. Interesting. "

" Nice little historical piece. Based on actual event which makes it even more interesting. "

" I loved this story. Mary Hooper is brilliant! "

" This was a very captivating book. I liked it a lot. I would recommend it for others "

" words can't describe this book "

" Very interesting book. Enjoyed the historical background. The fictional aspects seemed very plausible and well written. "

" An intriguing concept poorly executed. Not to mention the girl blames herself for essentially being coerced into sex, and she is never corrected. "
