Still Summer Audiobook

" I really enjoyed this one! "

" You know those books that are so bad you just can't put them down? This is one of them. Ok I was never expecting much, but when I bought it from the bargin bin ($2!), I thought...how bad could it be? Well it was worse than that. "

" Really slow read for the first third of the book. It did get better after that. "

" The story about friends that go on a sailing trip kept my interest but did not wow me. Everything that could go wrong on the trip did and then some. The pirates, the men overboard, the shootings, the blood poisoning - it all seemed like too much. But the book was good enough to finish. "

" A group of high school friends take a Carribean cruise on a private sailboat. They encountered an unexpected storm that endangers everyone's life. The women learn more about themselves and each other as they struggle to hold on to life while facing obstacles of no food, no water, and personal demons. Not Mitchard's finest work, but her fans will want to be sure to read it. "

" Terrible book. I had loved Mitchard's other books, but this book was poorly written, the characters were not likable, and the plot was so far out there and unbelievable, I couldn't stand it. I should have quit in the middle when I knew it was bad, but I finished it anyway and was disappointed from beginning to end. This book was a FAR cry from "The Deep End of the Ocean" - not even comparable. "

" Good beach read - wish it would have ended differently:( "

" This was a great story. A few times I wanted to toss Olivia overboard! I don't think I could be so forgiving for all that she did. "

" I listened to this in the car. A lot of depressing (will it never end) stuff but still good. "

" Do not read this book. It is tedious, and I finally skipped to the end and read the last chapter just to find out how it ended. "

" Mitchard does not disappoint with Still Summer. Without being TOO chick-lit, she incorporates light romance, mystery, adventure, and relationships. A nice, quick, light read, without being entirely predictable. Only a little bit predictable. It is forgivable. "

" I read this book in 2 days. Makes you think about who want to take on vacation with you. "

" I love Jacquelyn's writing and I am never disappointed. I thought this book was an excellent read...her grasp on women's friendships is wonderful. Great to find a book that doesn't just end with everything all wrapped up in a pretty bow. "

" Pretty awful book. Good for mindless reading. Poor plot development, poor dialogue, completely unrealistic. "

" The story itself was pretty good, but I was not a fan of the writing. It was incoherent and would jump characters and situations without notice, which I found slightly annoying. "

" Great action read for women! It's a thriller and a story about relationships. The everyday woman put in an unbelievable situation and overcoming the odds. I recommend reading this book. "

" Good character development, amazing story, too much of a fairy tale ending. "

" not great...it was all over the place.. "

" After a loggy start, this turned into a powerful and moving story! "

" Predictable but still a good beach read! "

" This is the worst of any Mitchard books I've read. I did finish it, just so I could see how it ended, so I guess it had SOME appeal, but she seems to have lost her touch. "

" Really enjoyed listening to this one...about three women and one's teenage daughter who went on sailing vacation that turned paradise into a sun-baked hell. "

" yes, it was a thrill ride and had some unexpected turns. Very quick read. "

" Great action read for women! It's a thriller and a story about relationships. The everyday woman put in an unbelievable situation and overcoming the odds. I recommend reading this book. "

" First Jacquelyn mitchard book I have not loved "

" I can say yet, b/c I haven't gotten very far. "

" I would have given it four stars had it ended one chapter sooner. I was actually in tears at the end of the second last chapter. And then came, what I feel was an unecessary and flat last chapter. Very suspenseful read though. "

" Did not care for this at all. I really have to stop buying clearanced books. "

" LOVED it. Laughed and cried. Definitely recommend it. "

" Don't waste your time. "

" This would make a great movie! "

" It was one of those books where I was intrigued by the story, yet frustrated. The characters were not very likable, and everything that could go wrong, did go wrong, which I don't like. "

" This book started out ok but then it really grabbed me. "

" I read the author's Deep End of the Ocean years ago on Oprah's recommendation and really enjoyed it. I haven't read anything else by her over the years but thought I would give this one a try. What a disappointment. I can't believe I read the whole plodding thing! "

" very good book, a little violent but a good read "

" After a loggy start, this turned into a powerful and moving story! "

" about a 3rd of the way in, I can really relate to the mother/daughter conflict. And feel something ominous brewing on the water. "
