Tell it to the Skies Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I have to say that I was pretty skeptical about this book when I picked it up. I thought that it was going to be pretty corny chick lit. I have to say that I was presently surprised. The plot was good it was full of emotion and it was a page turner. I was gripped to find out what happened to Lydia and Noah. However once the main plot of Lydia and Noah growing up it began to slow, due to the amount of explanation that was needed to wind up the story. This was further complicated by adding in the fact that Noah develops a brain tumor. I thought this was a step to far and the novel could have done without it. All in all this was a good read unfortunately the ending didn't really do it justice. I was also pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as corny as I thought. "

" Great story. "The beautiful city of Venice has been Lydia's home for many years, a place where she has found peace and fulfilment. Then one day she glimpses a young man's face in the crowd that threatens to change everything. He's a heart-stopping reminder of a dreadful secret she believed she had banished to the past ...As a young child, Lydia and her sister were sent to live with grandparents they'd never even met before." "

" Really enjoyable, plot a bit far fetched, but a good book and enjoyable read "

" This novel is about a girl and a boy who have horrible childhoods. They find each other and develop a friendship. Eventually something happens that parts them, something you'll just have to read and find out about. The writing is funny and smart and of course there is a beautiful love story behind it. I'm a sucker for a love story and this one has an equal measure of pain making it perfectly bittersweet. "

" I have not read any of Erica James before wasn't sure if I would like the 'romantic novel' tag. The story involved you from the outset; I particulary liked the parts of the book set in Venice in fact it has made me want to revisit Venice again. I found the storyline quite predictable at times but neverless it was an enjoyable read. "

" Surprising book, my sister read this and had insisted I read it that it was a great read. I reluctantly agreed, normally romance books aren't my cup of tea. I say surprising as it wasn't all mushy and romantic like I had anticipated. If you romance with a bit of a dark twist to it, than this is the book for you. "

" It was OK, the best bit about it was the earlier bits set in the 70s, the rest pushed my credibility a bit too far! "

" Could not put this one down, really enjoyed it! "

" I liked the book a lot more in the beginning than I did at the end. "

" When I was reading the first chapter of the book, I expected a different outcome. Anw, it was fine even the plot is simple and classic, I expected more climax and detail. "

" Blaise Pascal's saying "men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction," sums up the main tone of this book. I was hoping there would be some light and luckily lovely Noah came into it. "

" A moving story, although I had little in common with the narrator's personality and so wouldn't/couldn't have reacted to the events in the way she did. Good yarn though. "

" Well written indeed. Do not expect tears of laughter, expect a sense of sadness quite often. This is a good read for when you have time and space for being touched. "

" I found this very slow in the middle section, then just when the story got interesting it sort of petered out. "

" True love eventhough two people are separated when the time's come, they'll meet again... "

" I am a big Erica James fan but I really didn't enjoy this book. It felt oppresive and miserable and there were plot holes that kept taking me out of the story. I prefer her earlier books which had humour and realism and warmth. This was too close to misery lit for me. "

" A good read, but I was slightly disappointed by the location settings not really living up to the back cover blurb. A very(too)convenient ending though "all the pesky loose ends neatly tied up and we all lived happily ever after" "

" Mooi, goed verhaal, alleen het einde beetje snel afgehandeld. "

" Even thought it's a love story (in the end), it's about life that no child should have to live. "

" The book was well, a good read. It wasn't a page turner for sure, but it was good nonetheless. The Italy-bits were badly done in my opinion. "

" I totally LOVED this book!Very romantic(: "

" I didn't think I would like this book when I started it (and when I saw that Erica James is a romance writer)... But as soon as the flash-back starts (around 25-pages in, so not long) I was hooked! "

" I admire the author because she is good at planning the story lines. But one thing is that The story drags too long. Maybe just for me, but it made me sleep a few times. But anyway, good try there! "

" I have read this book three times over a year, you really get to know Noah & Lydia growing up. The story starts at the present day then goes back to the late sixties onwards. A great love story well worth a read "

" meant to be doing other things, but kept picking up the book to find out the rest... "

" this book was nothing like I thought it would be. it was much deeper and darker than I expected. I was hooked from the first fifty pages. really good book. "

" Lydia and Noah seemed so real to me. I felt the poignance of Lydia's troubled past. I i felt the escalation of the story when Noah finally came in and pour romance to the hard life of Lydia. I felt thrilled when the murder case came in. The 'reunion' shackled me in the story. "

" Awesome book on friendship and christianity!! Author brings out a plethora of emotions and reactions through her writing... "

" Not usually my kind of read but I really enjoyed this. Definitely found it hard to put down towards the end. "

" Well written indeed. Do not expect tears of laughter, expect a sense of sadness quite often. This is a good read for when you have time and space for being touched. "

" When I was reading the first chapter of the book, I expected a different outcome. Anw, it was fine even the plot is simple and classic, I expected more climax and detail. "

" the 1st Erica James I have read, thought it was well written and I enjoyed it alot "

" I am sure I have read a lot more of Erica James, but they all blend in together and I don't remember I've read them until I start the same book again! "

" Very enjoyable, A lot darker than her usual stuff, but with a happy ending as usual :P "

" I can't really recall the story. I read this book way back first year and I have memory gap, so that explains it all. :)) "

" I totally LOVED this book!Very romantic(: "

" Could not put this one down, really enjoyed it! "

" Blaise Pascal's saying "men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction," sums up the main tone of this book. I was hoping there would be some light and luckily lovely Noah came into it. "

" Even thought it's a love story (in the end), it's about life that no child should have to live. "

" I loved the characters in this novel - they are drawn with incredible emotional depth. "

" I just couldn't put it down once I started it. The characters were interesting and complex, and I was deeply moved by their story. An excellent read, and have ordered more books by this author. "

" This book was pretty good. It was a bit far fetched for me. I also didn't love all the crazy religious stuff that the grandparents were involved in in the middle of the book. "
