Return to Sender (Abridged) Audiobook

" Very strange book - started out a good story but fell flat. "

" I liked this all the way until the end ~ the end left me hanging. I suppose it could be considered a happy ending, but the main storyline - the father and son story - was not completed. "

" Shallow, unbelievable. A disappointing book by this author. "

" Another good book by Fern Michaels. Interesting start, great middle, and hurried ending. Like it all just wished the ending would be more detailed. Great plot thou, about woman who accomplished much more in life then average person in face of severe hardship. Loved the story overall. "

" Still another badly written book about unlikeable people. Incredibly unrealistic, the "heroine" - and I use the term loosely - went from being an unwed mother at seventeen, rejected by her parents to a multi-millionaire in less than 15 years all told. Not incredible in itself, but she did it by waitressing in a diner, later buying the diner with a bank loan of a half-million and going on from there. Pray tell me - what bank would lend that much money to a waitress who had to work double shifts to pay the bills? And how did she get to be a tycoon less than 10 years later, owning only the single diner? Anyway, she did. For years she sent her son's fabulously rich father letters, all returned marked "Return to Sender". Did she never think someone else might have intercepted them? Did she ever think to STOP WRITING TO THE JERK?? NOOOO. Instead, she decided to "teach him a lesson" him by messing with his bank accounts, comprom,ising his credit rating, and digging up old family scandals. Can we all say "FELONY!!"??? In the meantime, the father - who is a rich SOB whose wife hates him so much she tries to kill him - becomes ill with leukemia, and has to cope with his life falling apart while trying to stay alive. Not having any family that he knows of, he sponsors a bone marrow drive in hopes of finding a compatible donor for a $10 million prize. Of course, his son wants to win the money (not knowing that is is his father), but his mother PREVENTS him from being a donor because she doesn't want to admit to her son that his father was not dead, as she had claimed all his life!! Lovely woman. The whole thing end improbably with her taking her son to see his father in the hospital where she falls in love with his doctor. She throws all the returned letters at the father who suddenly notices the words "Address Unknown" on each one. Somehow, even after carrying the letters everywhere with her for last 20 years, she had missed that small detail. Everyone has a little chuckle, the rich SOB gets his transplant, she marries the doctor and they all live happily ever after. Phhhggghhhlllhhhllhh!!!!! "

" I like Fern Michael's books. This kept my interest. "

" Okay, I stayed with this soap opera plot book till the end. It was full of twists and turns and yes a little bit of insight, but most of this storyline is not plausible and in 279 pages little insight is gained about the characters. I did like the quote "The past is prologue" and when I went to enter it in my quotes found that it was a corruption of a quote from Shakespeare. With so many novels to choose from I don't think I will be reading a Fern Michaels novel very soon again. "

" This was too ridiculous for my tastes. "

" 10/14/2010 It's a surprisingly simple but good story. Very entertaining. Perfect for listening to in my car while I do errands. "

" Generally I enjoy a Fern Michaels book and this was a good story. The problem was that in the concluding chapters the main character repeated her story verbatim one too many times. "

" Was ok. Lin has troubled childhood. Gets pregnant. Raises son by herself and becomes successful. Sees son's father again and tries to get revenge. The revenge is a little extreme and not in character for Lin. All works out. Son and father meet. Lin finds new love. "

" I really like this author and enjoyed the book very much. "

" I read this book for book club. It was an easy read and mostly predictable. "

" A pretty good read about the price of exacting revenge. I liked the characters showcased in a New York background. Light, summer-time entertainment. "

" One word for this book...UNREALISTIC! With all the great books to be read what a waste of good reading time. The only thing worse than the plot is the ending. "

" I thought this was a very good book. There are a number of very interesting characters in this book that really make the story. The story is good and you almost want more at the end, but maybe not knowing more makes the story. "

" great book. I just love Fern Michaels... "

" Fairly decent. Many events resembled my life. Story line was fairly predictable though. "

" Another Fren Michaels great book. I love the way she writes her books. "

" Michaels just gets a little too far fetched for me sometimes. Her characters do difficult and/or illegal actions with ease and are never caught. The book was ok and typical Michaels style. OK for a quick, light read. "

" The whole story was pretty unbelievable from start to finish. All those horrible things don't happen to a person and then they end up on top of the world at 35!..... that's fantasy. And although I did read til the end, I can't say its one of Fern Michael's best. "

" Thought the ending could have been better. Felt like the ending had nothing to do with what the story was about!! Felt like there were too many quetions that the writer set up that wasn't answered! "

" Definitely a waste of time read. "

" Completely and totally unrealistic. Grammatical errors, factual errors and wrong names used more than once. Poor editing. "

" A good mindless read! Unpredictable plot. "

" Interesting story, but didn't like all the swearing. "

" Another Fren Michaels great book. I love the way she writes her books. "

" Maybe the worst book I have ever read. For real. "

" Yay for piles of books. Randomly chosen as my book 40 of 2011 - aim 133 books in 2011. review: I would say 3.75 stars. "

" Awesome book....could not put it down! "

" Very strange book - started out a good story but fell flat. "

" I wanted this to be a good book, and it had potential, but it just didn't get there. The characters were sort of boring, the story could have been written better, but it was short, so that was good. I liked the ending, so that made it worth my time. "

" Quick read. Good fairytale, real life doesn't seem to happen like this. "

" I like Fern Michaels and am looking forward to this book. This did not live up to Ms. Michaels' usual quality books. I was disappointed overall, it was like a subpar soap opera. "

" Another good book by Fern Michaels. Interesting start, great middle, and hurried ending. Like it all just wished the ending would be more detailed. Great plot thou, about woman who accomplished much more in life then average person in face of severe hardship. Loved the story overall. "

" I thought this was a very good book. There are a number of very interesting characters in this book that really make the story. The story is good and you almost want more at the end, but maybe not knowing more makes the story. "
