The Brave: A Novel Audiobook

" I love Nicholas Evans! Not the notebook guy!! I read this book in a couple of days. Good, enjoyable fast read. "

" This book had horrible, dirty language and I would never have finished it, but the first chapter is actually kind of the ending, so I had to know what put this mom on death row. Would never recommend it! "

" I really enjoyed this book. The tale of Tom Bedford, raised by his grand parents all the while believing they are his real parents. He finds out that he is the son of the woman he was raised to believe was his sister. The story skips from past to present and back again telling the good and bad of Tom Bedford's life. A very poignant tale of a family's tragic life occasionally including happier times. "

" Very surprised by this poor book - his sister/mother!! I loved all of Nicholas Evan's other books. Very disappointed in this one. "

" Lots of plot and character development-- reminds of me of a movie in its twists and suspense. Like the setting in 50's-60's hollywood, England, and the western US. Might pick for book club. "

" A fast read with some time traveling that works and complicated family dynamics come to fore. From a boarding school experience (bad) to a son who is a US Marine in trouble - fascinating. "

" The moral/truism as stated/revealed at the end made the rest of the book beem overwrought. "

" I liked the story better than the ending. "

" Good story with anticipation of the ending "

" Was a bit slow to start but liked it once I got in to it "

" I really enjoyed this book - well I will admit I love everything this author has written and can't wait for more. I enjoy a story of adversity and triumph, with a bit of history and emtional growth thrown in! "

" What a great book! Once I got over being confused about the back - and - forth style of writing, I couldn't put it down! I must say that the general end of the story was good, but I was a little dissapointed in the very end. Still a great read, though. "

" Would give it 3 1/2 stars----could have been better if he showed changes from present day to the past, since it skipped back and forth and took awhile to determine where you were in time. "

" From the author of The Horse Whisperer. Excellent read. A bit rushed at the end, but, nonetheless, one of the best books I've read in a while. I kept thinking about it when I wasn't reading..which is always a signal that I'm really loving a book! Highly recommend this one. "

" The book was great up untill the last fifty pages where I felt the writer rushed the ending. In saying that its a great read and Evans doesn't disapoint. His story telling is so discripted that it feels like your a fly on the wall watching the different characters being played out in the book. "

" eh, it was no Horse Whisperer, but it was ok. "

" Note to self. Do not listen to Michael Emerson describe love making scenes, whilst driving. This can lead to serious accidents or missing your turn off on the duel carriageway! "

" Poorly written (way too much gratuitous jumping around) and morally bankrupt. (Mass murderer lives happily ever after? Sorry.) "

" Had a twist at the end I didn't expect "

" Loved this story...moving from past to present and back. I love how the story comes together. "
