One Summer Audiobook

" The story line was a little too soap-opera like for me. I didn't care for the narration either. The music inserted for dramatic effect was way too distracting. Definitely not my favorite book. I finished it only because I bought it. "

" this one will bring tears to your eyes. I loved the story. different for Baldacci but very enjoyable "

" Quick read; chick fic...maybe i expected more from the author. "

" Sometimes one just has to read a story about life and death, about joy and grief, about relationships, present and past. I just didn't think I would read Baldacchi to do so. But I did. Sat down, needing a real break and actually read all afternoon. I didn't wrap one Christmas present or address one Christmas card. Instead, I escaped. "

" Somewhat unlikely, but I enjoyed the story. "

" Similar to a Nicholas Sparks novel, a quick easy read. Story about a man who loses his wife and has to take care of his 3 children. A bit cheesy and far fetched, but a nice ending. "

" Good story. Liked the characters. "

" I LOVED this book ! The first book I have read from this author and I'm addicted he fits my book type very well. Such a touching story its AMAZING. Just ordered zero day on amazon and I'm sooo excited! Every one should try to read this book. Though it has no sequel i still loved it. DYING to get the kindle I want to read The Innocent soo bad but you have to either pre order it for september or you can get it on kindle NOW! "

" a fun beach read. wish I were on a beach!!! "

" Not terribly impressed. Another "feel-good" type novel on the same field as Nicholas Sparks. "

" Initially thought this was going to be very depressing, but it takes a significant turn and was enjoyable. "

" It was a quick easy read that had some elements of romance and irony. It was my first Baldalcci and I was indifferent, it wasn't horrible , I did enjoy some elements of the story, but I didn't go out and run to get another one of his books. "

" Nice change of pace for David Baldacci. Reminded me of "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks. "

" The author moves away from his typical mystery and intrigue genre, into a story about family and love. A pleasant day's read. "

" Ive always loved this writer, thriller books are one of the genres I read. David has gone over to the family/romance style easily and the story sucked me in and had me in tears in more than one place. "

" it was ok.A little too smaltzy for my taste. "

" Way too predictable and too many tears! "

" Make sure you have plenty of kleenex while reading this! "

" it was a little sappy but an ok read "

" I can't believe this is not all 5 stars. David is a versatile writer and this was a lot different than other books of his I have read. No political thriller here-just a heartwarming well written story! "

" Nice story of redemption and rebuilding relationships "

" Kind of cliche book, predictable, "

" What a great book...all I'm going to say :) "

" Loved this book, one of his best! "

" We love Baldaccci around here but most of us agreed that this novel lacked depth. "

" This book just flowed and was one of the easiest books I have ever read. Very enjoyable read...good story, interesting characters... "

" Fabululous summer read!! Another favorite! Who would have guess David Baldacci would write such a wonderful story? Kind of like James Patterson's Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas. "

" I really like this book it was very touching to see how father was dying and instead the wife dies. It touching to see how a father from his own death comes back to regain his family with the lose of his wife. This book I could not put it down wanting to know how a everyone turns out at the end. "

" Beautiful story and totally different side of David Baldacci. I would recommend it highly. "

" Good read for summer. A little sad but worth reading. About a widower and his children and a lighthouse. "

" This book if very different from Baldacci's other books. It reminds me of a Nicholas Sparks tear jeaker. Although the story started out depressing and slow, it grabbed me about a third of the way through. Good story about family relationships and redemption. "

" Wonderful story about a family and its struggles with illness and death. David Baldacci usually writes mystery books, but a great job with this novel. "

" really sappy - a totally brainless Summer book - not even brain-candy - don't even know why I'm listening to this - maybe it's like a "rest" in music, a kind of place-holder "

" I kept looking at the cover. . .who wrote this book? Nicholas Sparks, right? No David Baldacci! Well, it's an ok beach read. I think I prefer Baldacci thrillers set in old town Alexandria, but this one will take you painlessly through a few hours of summer relaxation. "

" If you read "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks you will see similarities with the basic plot: a fractured family spends the summer at a beach house dealing with grief. However, there are quite a few hair pin turns and twists in this particular story I certainly did not expect. "

" Wow! May be one of my new all time favorites. Fantastic change Mr. Baldacci! "

" Nice, easy to listen to audiobook about a family dealing with death, loss and going on with life. A love story without sex scenes, no bad language, a different kind of storyline by David Baldacci. "

" This book is making me cry already! But it is good so far. I REALLY LIKED THIS BOOK EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SAD. IT MADE YOU APPRECIATE YOUR LIFE A LITTLE MORE AS IT GOES ON AND IT MAKES YOU APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. IT WILL MAKE YOU CRY THOUGH. "

" This is unusual for Mr Baldacci. It is a love story and well worth reading. The story is really good and it is well written. Put this on your list for the summer but beware this is a real tear jerker "
