The Apothecary's Daughter Audiobook

" I liked this story and found the info on English apothecaries fascinating. "

" Very good! Anxious to read another by the same author. "

" Klassen writes characters you care about and pays attention to the important details of setting and characterization. The Apothecary's Daughter is a book that I will read again! "

" I thought it was a good book and a very readable book. It was interestingly written, and the characters were well presented and very real. One had no trouble relating them as people in all the situations where one came across them. The plot and subplots, too, with all their twists and turns made sense and generally kept you going. It was Not a boring book! And it also painted a picture of the times and the prevailing attitudes. I don't have much of a taste for Christian fiction usually and there were some aspects of this that hit that bias in my particular taste in choices...the just too-too goodness of some characters and the just awful badness of some other incidents. The trappedness, the forgiveness, the redemption, etc.. Certainly nothing bad in itself, just too unbalanced for me. It echoes my particular taste bias, not the quality of the book or the story. Actually I'd say 3.5 stars if I could, but that is not available to me. "

" I really liked this story and the characters. It ended just as I hoped it would. "

" Pleasant and well-written. A few loose ends that were slightly frustrating, but generally lovely historical fiction that gives an interesting insight into the medical profession in times past. "

" An excellent historical fiction novel, set in 19th century England. Highly recommend! "

" My first free ebook on my B&N Nook, this one was surprisingly good for a freebie "

" Downloaded as a free nookbook. Not my usual type of reading, but it kept my interest - I liked it. "

" This book was pretty average to me. It was good enough to divert attention for a few hours but there were too many red herrings and elements to the plot to make it truly engaging. "

" I really liked this book. It wasn't a page turner, but I definitely wasn't bored. It was well written with intricate details throughout. It kept the reader reading until the last page to complete the story. "

" This is an easy read and will make a good accompaniment to a "classic" of the same period. "

" This was a cute, easy book to read. I liked it. I liked Lilly and thought she really found herself. "

" I found this quite interesting with the historical nature of the scenes, behaviors, laws, etc. Very strong characters kept me quite interested in the plot of the novel. A good read. "

" Free Kindle book. Light historical fiction with a Christian flavor to it I was not aware of until about halfway through the book. Pleasant read with some interesting tidbits about early 19th century medicine and society. However, the characters and plot are not terribly compelling. "

" I really loved this book! Long gone are the days of courting and formal introductions. Oh how I long for an exciting trip to London to find me a husband! hehe "

" 3 1/2 stars for this clean book. Sometimes the story dragged a bit for me but other times it was a page turner. "

" Enjoyable easy read. Nothing to think about. Just whag I needed. "

" Great Free-Friday book. I really enjoyed reading this. "

" Very Austenesque, though definitely not as good as an Austen. However, it did keep me flipping pages to discover which suitor she would end up with. "

" This book was well written but a little unexciting...it was interesting JUST enough for me to finish the book. "

" Truly enjoyed it. I've got a few other Julie Klassen books I'll be reading. "

" There are some of Ms. Klasson's books that I prefer over others. I thought this was one of her best efforts "

" Elise you may enjoy this book. Interesting story set in the late 1700's and early 1800's in England. This book traces the history of physicians, surgeons and apothecarys. "

" I loved this book from start to finish. I loved all of the characters, and how you got to see a little into each. "

" This was a fun, easy read. It was better than I expected. Story moved right along and of course I love the time period (early 1800's). "

" A good read. It was interesting to learn about apothecaries in the 19th century. I was a little dismayed by all the suitors the author had flying around, it was hard to keep all of them straight. No heroine should have to deal with 4...5? love interests. At least she picked the right one. "

" The Author was trying too hard to be like Jane Austen , too many of the same plots and character types in this book as are in a Jane Austen book. it was an okay read. "

" It started out strong and then kind of fizzled out. The Author also left one of the characters with a loose end. The historical aspect was really interesting though. "

" This one kept me guessing to the end who she was really going to marry. I didn't see how everything could possibly work out and it did! "

" I really liked this book. I agree with my aunt, who read it before me; it ended just right. "

" This book isn't an earthshattering novel, but it was interesting to read about the apothecarys. I liked it. "

" Bland. The heroine seems too perfect and nothing ever really seems to happen. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It is an easy read. I would classify it as a clean 18th century romance novel. "

" Another free book that was just ok. The story was a little too predictable. "

" LOVED LOVED LOVED this book! I appreciated that it so down to earth. I loved the ending...great book! I can't wait to find more by this author. "

" Great book! Could not put it down. I am currently reading Ms. Klassen's next novel "The Silent Governess" and is turning out to be just as good :) "

" This book was a nice "take me away" book for a weekend reading. There are a couple of surprises in the book, secrets reveled. Several love interests, but didn't end the way I would have expected, but still a nice ending. I will look to see if this author has written anything else. "

" A decent read. Nicely set in historical England with a lot of detail about being an apothecary. "

" This was a good, FREE Kindle read. A period piece that took a look at historical medical practices along with romance, friendship, and a mild dose of Christianity. "
