Sprig Muslin Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Ms. Heyer repeats this theme quite a bit. She has several titles in which the protagonist stumbles upon a young, impoverished little chit of a girl and must save her. Again, well worth reading but not her best. "

" The best male character of all her books. I just loved him! Absurdly hilarious conversations that I would read over and over because they were so funny. "

" The hero of this novel, Gareth, is an absolute dream! What a fabulous character. His love interest Hester Theale, however, is not my favorite. She's endearing, but he could have done so much better! My biggest problem with the book, though, is that the story really revolves around Gareth and a secondary character named Amanda, while Hester is pushed into the background. Not Heyer's very best. "

" Fun book. The young girl was a little crazy and unbelievable considering the time this book was written. However, it was very enjoyable and I loved the ending. "

" I loved this book but there was entirely too much focus on the ditzy Amanda so we really didn't get to see enough development between Gareth and Hester who I thoroughly liked together. "

" A delightfully madcap adventure which in the end devolves into a delicious farce. "

" Witty and fun "

" Such a fun and funny book by one of my very favorite authors. It had the great characters of a Jane Austen with the witticisms and ridiculous situations of Oscar Wilde. "

" Cute, adorable, and I loved the last third MUCH more than the other parts. "

" Amanda herself and all her shenanigans are deeply irritating to me, but I do love the almost-background relationship between Gary and Beatrix. Also, Amanda redeems herself somewhat by actually being steadfastly in love with Neil and not being quite as much of a ninny in an actual emergency. "

" Really enjoyed this fun Regency. "

" Too much Amanda (who reminds me of Lydia Bennet...never a good thing) and not enough of Hester and Gareth's story. "

" This was a fun book!! very amusing characters. couldn't help but laugh out loud. "

" If I could give this 3 1/2 stars I would. It started out a little slow to me, but I enjoyed the adventure and predicament, and I really liked the ending! "

" This is a fun, quick, regency read that is full of farce and humor. The situations are quite outrageous, but that's what makes this book fun. "

" This is a fun book. It could be categorized as a caper more than a romance. The plot kept you wondering how it would end and did not disapoint. "

" Georgette Heyer's writing style merits five stars, but Amanda's unbearable. I'm sold on Heyer's work, though; will try The Grand Sophy or These Old Shades next. "

" One of the funniest! "

" This was one of my least favorite Heyer books. "

" One of the "later" titles with rather more plot than is necessary, and much less of the witty banter of the "earlier, good ones". "

" Probably my least favorite of the books I read during my Georgette Heyer binge. "

" Very amusing "

" My first Heyer, but it won't be the last. Loved it. Subtly satirical, fun, beautiful, sparkling prose. "

" Laughed out loud on this one. "

" This was a fun but middling Heyer, with an annoying young woman but a bang-up last third. "

" Kind of blah -- felt like I'd already read this one before. "

" Re-read this book the other day - one of my favorite books of Heyer's. Love the story! If you haven't read any of Georgette Heyer's, I highly recommend her books. "

" Really enjoyed this fun Regency. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It is witty and fun, so many crazy and unlikely things happen and the end is especially good. It was my first Georgette Heyer novel and won't be my last. "

" Too much Amanda (who reminds me of Lydia Bennet...never a good thing) and not enough of Hester and Gareth's story. "

" Starts out just a tad bit slow, but by the end you are just racing along. Fun, light, all ways something new. Just a wonderful, fun time. "

" Thoroughly enjoyable, utterly implausible, and fantastic language- I defy you to fit another adjective anywhere in the book! "

" Too much time spent on annoying girl and not enough with main couple. "
