Shem Creek: A Lowcountry Tale Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Didn't live up to my love of Frank's books...probably my least favorite of hers, but I'm still a fan! "

" This is a light-hearted look at relationships, a woman returning to her roots and finding a new life in South Carolina. Ms. Frank creates fine characters and provides lots of lovely Southern scenery. "

" Not super crazy about this book. I dont like books that are written in first person, as a rule. I also dont like the type of humor that are in this type of book. That said, after I finally got into the story around 100 pages or so, it ended up being very cute. Sometimes the chapters were narrated by different people and it didnt tell you that was happeneing. You would read a page or two and then be like, what? And realize that it was from a different characters perspective. Very confusing. Would not recommend if you had something better to read, but not horrible. "

" Again, i often get disappointed in Benton Frank when i read her and expect Anne Rivers Siddons' writing. However, this is one of her better efforts - - a likable main character, a good story (it sags a bit in the middle), and of course, the wonderful low country setting. If you love South Carolina, Frank is your author - - -her love of it shines through evertyhing she writes. "

" Linda is a divorced woman with two teenage girls. She uproots their lives from New Jersey and moves back to the low country of South Carolina. She is hired by a local restaurant and soon feels like she is truly where she belongs. I enjoyed the book "Plantation" more. characters not near developed or believable. "

" Not one of her best novels. I liked Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palms much better. "

" I did not like this one as much as the other 3 that came before but it was still enjoyable and good for a few laughs. "

" Great beach book. I loved it. "

" Great mother daughter relationship book. Her books are like a hug. They are not complicated or hard to read but they are full of people and how we relate to each other. "

" A great beach read!!! I literally flew through this one while soaking up the sun over Memorial Day weekend. It is a classic Dorothea Benton Frank - perhaps one of my favorites of her Southern fiction. Easy to relate to the characters and love the feel of the places described. Highly recommend! "

" It was ok. Not as good as some of her other books though. "

" This book was okay - it just didn't have anything that really caught my attention. "

" I've read several of this writer's books, they're all set in the Charleston, S.C. area and I love reading about the South. This was a fun, quick read. A happier version of Anne River Siddons books about the South. "

" A light, fun story set in South Carolina in what they call the "lowcountry". About a mom divorcing and moving back to SC, with one daughter going off to attend university in New York, and the other completing high school in SC. She finds love, of course! "

" This is an interesting, short novel featuring a recently divorced, middle-aged single mom who moves back to Mt. Pleasant, SC (near where I grew up) and finds love. Very sweet. "

" was going good then we had a big wrap-up chapter, like she was too spent to finish with the characters. good food info and good visual descriptions of mt pleaseant sc area "

" Loved the descriptions of the food and the fact that most of the places mentioned in the book I had visited while reading the book. The love story was a little far fetched. "

" Another good book. Easy read, but good story. "

" Good book. Turns out I had read it before and forgot so that might tell you a little about it. "

" A truly wonderful low-country novel. This is the first novel I've read by Dorothea Benton Frank and judging by how much I enjoyed it I can't wait to read more! The characters were great, and the story was filled with humor, love, passion for one another and even a little suspense. "

" Pretty good story. A single mom packing up her girls and heading home to South Carolina to live a slower paced life. But life has a way of messing with your plans. "

" potato chip book. needs some editing. but a lot going on and LOVE visiting all my fav SC places in her books! "

" Not as good as the first 2 I read but still a relaxing read "

" Audio version is charming to listen to. There are multiple readers. Very nice job. "

" Loved it! Full of drama and love!!! "

" I enjoyed this book because of the sweet story but also because it took place in Mt.Pleasant,SC. The Isle of Palms, Sullivans Island and Mt Pleasant are my favorite places to visit. I've been going there since I was an infant. "

" A good read, espcially because I know the area. She writes in the first person, so when the chapter changes and the character changes it takes a moment to figure out who is "thinking or talking." Still all in all a good read. "

" Shem Creek was interesting initially, but then I lost interest in the characters. I think the story moved too slowly for me. I did like the use of different narrators for the main protagonists. "

" Too me the plot was weak. "

" I grabbed this off my shelf yesterday before heading to the airport. "

" I liked this one a lot. Likeable characters, interesting storyline. I always like stories about people starting over and reinventing themselves. I look forward to reading more of this author. "

" It's the South, Of course I love it. "
