The Actor and the Housewife Audiobook

" Such a fun read. I love the voice of the author. "

" This is a fun read that made me picture Hugh Jackman for some reason even though he's Australian and not British. I really liked the story and it had some surprising twists and turns. (view spoiler)[ I didn't like the ending at all though. I wanted her to love love Felix. Even though I know they are probably better off as friends, the romantic in me wanted to see them happily ever after bantering away with each other. But oh, well, it was still a good story. (hide spoiler)] "

" I'm not sure if I would have liked this book if I were not a Mormon housewife with three kids, and from Davis County, no less. I told myself that I would not finish reading this book if the author took the relationship somewhere that made me uncomfortable. I finished it. Of Hale's books that I've read so far, I think I like the books written for youth better. I should say that I'm not a big fan of Mormon fiction, though, which may be why I hesitate to say I loved this book. I don't think it was intended to be Mormon fiction, though. "

" Laughed and cried reading this book. AMAZING! "

" I have mixed feelings on this book. The first half I enjoyed even laughing out loud but by the end of the book I felt she pushed her views to the point I couldn't finish the last page. I am a Shannon Hale fan but I don't reccommend this book. "

" This book was funny and made me laugh a times but it really made me nervous for how close it could have come to crossing the line. As I was reading it i kept having to remind myself to trust Shannon Hales writing. She has never let me down before and she didn't this time either. "

" I did not finish this book and feel really good about it. I will be honest, I love Shannon Hale. Her books she has written for adults are just not that good. This book did not speak to me on any level. "

" I thought this book had a great idea. But the ending was hard for me. I wanted it to end different or at least leave me filling fullied and it didnt. THere were parts that were slow and hard to get through but then there were parts that were funny and enduring. "

" This is a cute fluff story. I loved the banter between Becky and Felix. "

" Went in not sure, but I ended up surprised and delighted. I love it when that happens! "

" I LOVE this book! I laughed through the first half & cried through the second. I like it so much that I bought it in hardback 3x--& gave 2 of them away! "

" I loved the story. Who hasn't had a secret crush on a celebrity. What would you do if that person became a close personal friend, maybe more than just a friend? I could totally related to this book, written by a Utah Mormon, from a Mormon standpoint on morality, commitment, love and relationships. "

" hmmm.....I don't even know what to say about this book. I was disappointed becasue I loved Austenland. It was difficult at times for me to get through and I don;t think I would recommend it to anyone. "

" I really enjoyed the dialog in this book. I'd give it five stars, but it had me sobbing (maybe due to the fact that I'm pregnant?). All in all a great book. "

" it was fun and easy to read, but it still made me think. "

" The first half of this book I hated. The second half I scoffed at. The characters and relationships are not believable. None of the book worked for me. I was shocked this was a book written by the same author as Goose Girl. "

" Not my favorite of hers, for sure. Too long and rambling, very unbelievable, and just a little too dumb. I wanted it to be better than it actually was. "

" Some hilarious one-liners but sometimes the plot just kind of bugged me. "

" I. WISH. I. HAD. NEVER. READ. THIS. BOOK. I finished it so my rule is two stars but I want to rank it one star. So frustrated. Becky is a twit. I am breaking my own rules and giving this one star. "

" I really loved Austenland by Shannon Hale so maybe my expectations were too high, but I could NOT get into this. She tried SO hard to be witty and funny but it was WAY too much. I couldn't even finish it. "

" I'm giving this book 2 stars because there were some parts that were really funny, but overall I really did not like this book. First of all, the premise just rubs me the wrong way and secondly I don't like reading about my biggest fears happening. "

" I actually laughed out loud while reading this book, which I almost never do. "

" Okay this book was just a fun quick read. If you are looking for something fun, that doesn't require much thought, pick up this one. "

" There was nothing offensive in this book. It was just irritating -- even though I did make a couple of appereances in it. Maybe it was too funny? "

" Hilarious, I mean laugh out loud funny. And totally realistic. "

" It was a random book and not the best Shannon Hale book by any means. That being said, I absolutely could not put it down. Hale has that effect on me. Pretty good, despite the random story line.<br/> "

" One of the most hilarious book I have ever read! "

" Yeah, I read it. Not that I'm ashamed... "

" I have loved some of her other books and the writing in this was witty and fun. But the storyline just bugged me too much. It is just unbelieveable to me, sorry, I just don't buy it! "

" This book seemed like light and fluffy fun, but the ending just came at a bad time in my life for such twists. "

" Great book. Shannon Hale is a very talented writer. I loved the ending. It was perfect. "

" I am almost embarrassed to say that I really liked this book, but I did. I laughed so hard and could definitely relate to the Mormon housewife! It's very fun. "

" Meh. I can see why people like it, I can see why people hate it. But overall I just didn't like it. It was well written so perhaps its the ending? I didn't like the style from the beginning though. I still like Shannon Hale's books but this is not destined to be a favorite. "
