Rococo: A Novel Audiobook

" Not as good as the Stone Gap books, but interesting from a Jersey perspective. Unfortunately, the geography was all off, and the Tick Tock Diner is NOT on Route 35! "

" My favorite of all of Trigiani's books. The main character is a man - a decorator - hired to decorate the town church for a huge celebration. Laugh along and see the way the wacky and endearing construction crew gets along and tries to change their corner of the world. "

" i like a book that makes me laugh outloud "

" Not her fastest read but I stayed with it to the end. As with all her books you get to know the characters well, and want to find out what happens to them no matter how mundane the outcome. Quarky, but not her best. "

" It was good, but I liked her newer books better. The main character, "B" just seemed so angry all the time. I did try the recipe for Our Lady of (Drown Your) Sorrows Cake with Heavenly Frosting and that was fabulous! "

" Delightfully funny, this book had me laughing out loud. Revolving around a wonderful cast of characters, this story of family and fashion (interior design) is descriptively written, down to the last gold leaf on the church ceiling. Trigiani once again gets my kudos as a master storyteller. "

" I love all books "Trigiani" "

" Give me interior decorating details down to the ottoman embellishment, a cast of motley characters with strength, conviction and sass...add in artists, frescos, glass, stone and the spririt of community...I was completely transported and transfixed. Loved this quirky, heartfelt snapshot of life. "

" One of the edgier of the Trigiani books I've read, but still has that good old Italian combination of bickering, recipes, and a happy ending. My mom and I love to pass these books around. "

" I may be a bit bias being a decorator...I was woven into the fabric of the story from page one. "

" A light and fun read. I listened on CD and the narrator was perfect. The main character is so likable and his experiences very true and touching. "

" A fun beach type read. I particularly enjoyed reading all the parts about interior design. "

" My first experience with Trigiani and it was a delightful one! I felt as if she were explaining my Italian-American upbringing. Many "lol" moments in this piece of literature. Still chick lit but has a lot of soul! "

" This book did very little for me . . . it was kind of cheesy, almost stereotypical in its depictions of the characters, and there really wasn't much point to the story. Definitely not something I'd recommend. "

" Not one of her very best novels. "

" I love Trigliani's characters, and while this one is not one of her best attempts; it is a fun read. "

" Bartolomeo dicrespi, a bachelor interior decorator from Our Lady of Fatima, NJ, achieves his dream of renovating his beloved local Catholic Church. Hilarious. "

" This book was too catholic for me. I love her other books though. "

" Wasn't in the mood for this book - didn't read much of it. "

" This falls in my beach read category...it was lighthearted and fun, but it just never reached as far as it could. "

" Not nearly as good as Lucia, Lucia. "

" Unlike the other books of hers I've read, I didn't enjoy this one. "

" Loved this book. Just broke me up. Great read "

" No way to compare, but I'm glad I listened to the audio book version. Written from the male perspective, it was good to hear it in a male voice. Entertaining. Some good "messages" about family and love. "

" I rated this a two because I don't ever remember reading anything less than a three! Loved Trigiani's other books, but this one I wasted my money on! "

" Cute book but as I got into it I realized it's set in 1970, which brought back some memories! "

" This book was too catholic for me. I love her other books though. "

" Not nearly as good as Lucia, Lucia. "

" B. is an interior decorator and the bachelor of the family. Recipes in the story, Italian family and all kinds of conflict, romance, and chaos. Good story. Enjoy this author! "

" Worth reading, but my least favorite from Adriana Trigiani. "

" amusing quick read with an unfortunately speedy conclusion. like Janet Evanovich with an interior designer: Jersey, Italian, outrageous. "

" Really like it - this was an easy, fun book with lots of fabric and colors (literally.) Just what I hoped. "

" Eh. Nice little story, but I was not too impressed. "

" I was in need of an audiobook to listen to, randomly chose this off the shelf, and struck gold. Both funny and heartwarming. An enjoyable listen. "

" I just love Adriana Trigiani, cannot get enough of her writing. "

" I nice quick escape to another place. "
