The Alchemist's Daughter: A Novel Audiobook

" I really loved Katharine McMohons writing style. She did a wonderful job depicting characters and the time/place of the story. At times the story was a bit slow for me and the ending left me feeling disappointed. But, the story was a very good one and well done. "

" I thought it was an interesting correlation between science and relationships. I enjoyed the scientific part of the book as much as the story, thinking about how we currently believe the order of the universe. "

" So good, and it has a good moral to the story "

" not my kind of book. a lot of words, not a lot of meaning, just a story "

" I really liked this book! Interesting twists. "

" This book was enlightening. I was fascinated by how repressed women were in the 1700s. "

" I didn't finish this book because the heroine was too annoyingly helpless. She's supposed to be brilliant, yet she can't think her way out of a paper bag. "

" Horrible, godawful waste of my time. The first 1/4 of the book was really exciting, and made you want to know more of the character, but as soon as she marries Aislabie it all goes downhill. She's supposed to be really smart, but makes the most ridiculous decisions. Don't bother. LAME. "

" This book is safe to read. No garbage included. It is the story about a young girl, living at home with her father and special needs brother. Her mother has left the family. She makes difficult choices as she moves into the adult world. "

" interesting period story. "

" Thought this book was pretty boring. Didn't get good until the end. "

" Actually stopped reading it...something I almost never do! "

" Don't bother. Not as exciting as it may seem to an herbalist. I'll try the other book of the same title. "

" I was a little bored with the descriptions of the experiments, but the story was decent. "

" Poor girl! Forced to learn science by her father, and unknowledgable of human relationships. Very interesting read! "

" I think I read this book last year. I can't remember. Anyways, it's a grown-up book and I made a mistake of reading it. Oops:( I didn't really enjoy the last part but the start was okay. "

" More like 3.5 stars. Wish we had that option. Just so-so. "

" I did not like the story, but thought it was written well. The main characters just were not believeable. "

" Of course its nothing like 'the Alchemist.' Interesting twist for a love story...don't know that I would recommend it. "

" What really mad me mad was that I used a gift certificate on this book. Completely disliked it. Just a romance, and it's not even written that well (if ya know what I mean :)). "

" I really enjoyed this book! "

" This book is safe to read. No garbage included. It is the story about a young girl, living at home with her father and special needs brother. Her mother has left the family. She makes difficult choices as she moves into the adult world. "

" I liked the reader's voice a lot. Very good with different character's voices. I liked the context and thought 1720s London pretty interesting. Heroine...meh "

" Thought this book was pretty boring. Didn't get good until the end. "

" I did not enjoy this book. The main character is an easily manipulated girl. This book reminded me more of a romance novel than historical fiction. "
