On Folly Beach Audiobook

" History blended with beautiful images and mystery. I have never read this author before and will be looking to read her in the future. "

" Very enjoyable--a good "beach read". Marci-I think you'll like it, being somewhat familiar with Folly Beach. "

" This is an amazing book. I loved the characters and secrets that were revealed about the past lives of the characters. I definitely recommend this book! I cannot wait to read another book by this author! "

" Good book, quick read. The author merged present day Folly with 1940's Folly during the war. The story combines love, war, death and a little bit of crazy. It was a nice escape from the hectic holiday schedule. "

" Loved it! This book has it all--a little history, a little mystery, and a bit of romance. Plus it has Folly Beach for it's backdrop! "

" Loved it. Loved the back and forth between time periods, the intrigue, romance, family drama and great writing. "

" I wavered between 3 and four stars, so maybe 3.5. This was a well-written mystery/historical fiction book. It reminded me of the Guersney Literary Society book as well as Sarah's Key. It drove me crazy that the chapters alternated between the past and present (not my favorite style), but there were some really interesting WW II facts. Some parts I found trite and there was some immorality (an affair that is implied, but no explicit details are given). Overall I enjoyed it. "

" predictable, but enjoyable, easy read. Loved going to Folly Beach in SC!! "

" I absolutely loved this book and wanted to read everything by Karen White the moment I finished. Excellent! And...I would love to have a bottle tree someday. "

" Kind of cheesy, but it's a good story! "

" Loved this book! I now have my own bottle tree! "

" Another low country novel by this author. More than just a beach read, it encompasses the history of Folly Beach, particuarly the WWII period, while tracing one family's roots. A little romance, a little intrigue, a little history...all good! "

" Loved this! Couldn't put it down. "

" Loved the mystery and connection yo historical facts. "

" This book started out as nothing special, but definitely got better as I read more of it. "

" This book is amazing, I have one and a half chapters left to read and am really wishing I had nothig else to do but finish it. I really enjoy this author and everyone of her books are great!!! "

" Was sad to see this book end. Folly beach is one of my favorite places and this book painted a picture of what it was like back in the 40s. "

" I loved the mystery this story offered and love the format the author used to tell the story. Lulu was a wonderful character in the book. "

" This was a very interesting book, but also, very sad. The 1940s story was much more interesting than the 2009 story. I wasn't a fan of how the author kept switching back and forth between the times/stories. It was disrupting. Overall, I'd give it a 3.5/5. "

" Lisa and I both liked this book. It is a mystery/love story/ historical fiction and was very well written. "

" This story takes place on folly beach, south carolina. There are 2 story lines that begin, one in 1940 and the other in present day. They eventually intertwine. Great book! Quick read, I read it in one day. "

" As usual i enjoyed Karen White's book On Folly Beach. I had a good sense of what was going on in the mystery, some twists I didn't see, but still enjoyed it very much. Big fan of the multiple narrators and time settings. Well done. "

" A good story by the author of The Memory of Water. So interesting to learn about the involvement of coastal communities in looking out for geran u boats. Afghanistan or WWII, sacrifice, loss, and love are all common threads. "

" predictable, but interesting story nonetheless "

" Loved it! I love reading books taking place in South Carolina, and I love history. Although fiction, it was interesting to read what could have happened during WWII. The story, though, was so interesting, alternately between 1942 and 1999. I didn't want it to end. "

" I love everything from this author - can't wait to live there. "

" Good read. Nice twists and turns, loved the third person POV to get insights into each of the very different characters. "

" predictable, but interesting story nonetheless "

" wonderful summer read. I love south carolina, the setting for this book. I also love the interplay between love/loss experienced today and during WWII. "

" Really liked this book. Couldnt put it down. "

" This was a very good book, I liked how the author combined the characters from 2 wars. And overlapped the story. Takes place on a beach in South Carolina (Folly Beach). "

" Enjoyable, but not her best. "

" I think the author has a split writing personality. The back story set in the 1940's is interesting, surprising, and well written. The modern day story reads like a Harlequin Romance. "

" Kinda sappy and definitely formula, but I still read it in a weekend! "

" Great story! I'll look for more by this author. "
