Not Easily Broken (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" Our book club is currently reading this and will discuss it in Feb. We selected this title not only because of the movie but also the dynamic relationship between husband and wife which is truly tested. T.D. Jakes is an inspirational writer who uses Bible teachings to support his characters decisions. "

" Fast read about marriage relationship. "

" This is a book about a married couple that has basically lost their passion. The story moves extremely slow until the middle, but it's not enough to keep the book from being on the boring side. No disrespect to the Bishop, but the writing just fell flat for me. "

" I have to agree with an earlier review. The character Clarice got on my nerves, so did her Mama! The ending was too neat, and almost contrived. I think this is one only for Rev. Jakes' fans to read. "

" I really enjoyed this book! It shows what is needed to really keep a strong marriage. We all experience things in life but we need support from others to get through it. Truly an inspiration. "

" This book was disappointing for sure. Unfortunately, Bishop Jakes is not a great fiction writer. The story was fine, but the follow-through was only fair. His writing of women is completely unrealistic. Maybe I just haven't been around people who talk the way that he wrote people talking, but there were just a few too many "That's whack", "Dawg" "Awright" "For real" for my taste. And he wrote with way too many metaphors, most of which didn't even make sense to me. Plus, without spoiling it, the ending with the other woman and the friend is COMPLETELY unrealistic, even though I totally saw it coming. "

" This was an excellent read. I recommend this for most strong African American women trying to balance a career and marriage. This was an eye opener of how you have to be well balanced. Although you're dealing with everyday stressor you have to remain compassionate, or you may loose what you have. "

" very good book now I want to see the movie! "

" Nice, easy story about marriage and temptation within it; tragedy, friendship, men and women's point of view. Jakes writes in a casual, clear, concise style and paints a picture of regular folks and their journey with God and human troubles. "

" Use the $9 you were going to spend on seeing the movie and buy the book. You will never regret that decision. I've read the book and seen the film and the film leaves much to be desired. "

" Good story. Now it's a movie "

" This book was ok. It was about a married couple and the endure a car accident and the husband begins to fall for the wife's physical therapist, but the strength in their marriage and relationship with God, they manage to whether the storm and confront issues that neither wanted to face or deal with. "

" I enjoyed this book because of the overall message, but if someone is looking for complexity, probably won't find it here. It was a good read for me because I am getting married soon so I definitely understood how Jakes message was relevant to myself. "

" The overall idea was a good one, however I prefer not to be hit over the head with the "moral message". The prose were a bit too conversational for my taste. One of the few times that I'll say the movie was better than the book. "

" I read this book then rented the movie. Both were good, but I liked the book so much better! "

" Full review at my blog. "

" I loved this book. It is definetly much better than the movie! "

" A lesson to be taken home and be used that the third strand can only be God. Really liked it "

" The book and movie are great. Good reminder how hard marriage can be but with God all things are possible "

" Good book, typical ending but great twist to keep things moving. "

" Wonderful With Great Insight "

" If I could give this 0 starts I would. This is quite possibly the worst book I have ever read. The writing was terrible, the plot more than predictable and the characters unremarkable. So boring, I quite half way through. Save yourself time and boredom, don't pick this one up! "
