Open House Audiobook

" Another great book by Berg. I don't get tired of reading her books. This is about a mother and daughter set in the early sixties. This book is fiction but she indicated it was based on someone who had written her about her relationship with her disabled mother. Highly recommend. "

" I enjoyed this look into a woman who emerges from divorce. "

" Everyone who has been divorced will find something to relate to. I didn't like the woman too much at first....but by the end of the book I was into her journey. "

" Rather disappointing. Thank goodness it was only a library book! Friends keep recommending this author. I gave her a fair chance and read two of her books. The first was tolerable, and this one was less than tolerable. Oh well...moving on to better books! "

" While not a "love it" book by any means, I did like it. I enjoyed the authors clever way of capturing the thoughts a woman keeps to herself. She made it easy for me to relate to the main character. I was a bit bored at times and the ending was a little predictable, however I still wanted to finish it. I'll pick up another by her in the near future. "

" Loved it! Very funny too! "

" It's about a woman who is left by her husband. She and her son Travis are forced to do without, by letting others live in their home, to be able to keep the house. It's a very very good book. "

" Fast read - liked the main character. Surprised by some of her actions. "

" Another book I borrowed from my mother-in-law during the great snowed-in book-drought of 2009. Reading Elizabeth Berg, I know nothing too weird is going to happen, and I like the way she writes characters. It's relaxing. "

" I really enjoyed reading this book. Samantha (Sam) is starting a new life during and after divorce. The way she looks at her new life is uplifting and refreshing. Its a page turner for me and plan to read a lot more of Elizabeth Berg's books. "

" Absolutely hated it. Hated the characters, the writing style and most of all, the "cake on the counter" metaphor. "

" Loved it loved it loved it...nice easy read but kept you interested enough, this could happen to any of us.First book I have read from this author will search out more of hers to read. "

" I liked this book. Interesting, because you get to understand how the main character really feels. Really liked the ending. "

" Husband leaves her and she learns to cope and even like her new life. Down to earth, realistic. "

" A rummage sale find.....pretty good read. As a twiced divorced, middle aged woman, I can relate to the content. "

" 2.5* I still don't understand how she could determine that bringing strangers into her house to live where she has a child makes more sense than getting a job! BC rating: 2.75* "

" It was a good book. I really liked the message that was delivered in the book. The characters seemed real and I could relate them, especially the main character. "

" Hysterical. Liked this book a lot! "

" A cute story about a woman whose husband leaves her and the attempt she makes to start a new life. Very fun read. "

" Not a bad book. Didn't rock my world though. Makes me glad my parents are still together. "

" Excellent, must read for women!!! "

" This book was just ok. Reminded me of many other books, a journey of self discovery for a woman suddenly in a life changing situation. "

" It was an easy reading book, the story is easy to follow but I feel depressing reading Sam's character. She is sooo very lonely, more to pathetic. The ending isn't quite satisfying too :( "

" Read it on a 2 hour plane ride. Quick read and amusing for divorsed or widowed. A funny look at making it alone. "

" Another great book by Elizabeth Berg. I could relate to several things in her struggle to be "unmarried" and find a new life. The Martha Stewart incident is amusing yet meaningful as well. "

" dealing with divorce and the aftermath - very close to too depressing, but I persevered and she prevailed. Good emotional read. "

" ...okay...nothing more to say here. This author basically writes the same book over and over. I'm done with her books. "

" This is a book that you can relate to when you have been or are facing a divorce. Sam has lots of decisions to face and sometimes you aren't really rational about life during this time. "

" one of her better ones "

" Like all her books, I loved it! "

" Excellent book, had a hard time putting this down. "

" The plot is about a woman in her late 30's - early 40's working thru divorce. I would have enjoyed this more if I were younger. "

" Read this in one day and loved it. Her writing is excellent and so right on with all the emotions and angst of divorce and parenting. Loved the relationships. "

" Elizabeth Berg always has interesting characters! "

" I have just begun to read Elizabeth Berg, who seems to write from an "older" woman's point of view. "

" I loved this book. I found it to be an uplifting view on coping with divorce "

" I love Elizabeth Berg. I have read fourteen of her books. Her style is fluid and keeps you reading without wanting to stop and stir your soup. She sinks you into her character's lives with passion, detail, pathos and love. "

" An adult "coming of age" where a woman finds that to know who she is, she must reclaim the person she used to be. "

" Fast read - liked the main character. Surprised by some of her actions. "

" Not quite as described but still a good read. You get taken in by the main character and want to keep reading. "

" I thought this was a very good story of a lost woman finding herself. I enjoyed following her along on her journey to love herself and find love and joy in others again. "

" A story about a women who finds the strength within herself "

" Was a good book, not great but a quick easy read. "

" I like the worldview of the narrator. Was let down by the ending. "
