The Clothes on Their Backs Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Interesting enough - my first ebook. Easy read, intersting topics themes were recent enough to be able to understand and relate to "

" It was fine, really. I think I was more annoyed with the main character than I should have been, for reasons beyond anyone's control. But she was kind of lame. And I felt cheated when I didn't get to hear more about the side stories, which were the most interesting part. So... eh. "

" I couldn't put this book down. Haven't read a page turner like this since "Kite Runner". "

" Not a perfect book, but the main character is compelling - about a time in British/London that I know little to nothing about. "

" It took a little while to get into the story but when I did it was very interesting. I really enjoyed this bllik. "

" A melancholy meander through memories with moments of brilliant bone piercing personal exploration. The uncle is a successfully developed as a charismatic, vital and dynamic. The conclusion was disappointing. "

" I found this post World War II story about a woman, her closed off traumatized parents and her flamboyant uncle a bit depressing. It is London in the years of skinheads, slums, beatings and muggings. I liked the wring of the story but found it a sad, lonely-type book. "

" Enjoyed the writing style and will read other books by the author. "

" Not that good; but like a train wreck, hard to look away from. "

" I got bored with this book and didn't finish it "

" I guess the idea that someone could grow up so clueless about her own family is valid, when its the premise for the book you are writing, but the idea just didn't pan out in the end. "

" This book was different - interesting but not a WOW "

" Interesting story set in contemporary London. "

" Why do I keep getting myself involved with contemporary stories set in England where they use British rhetoric/slang that confuses me? "

" I don't think I've read a book so completely off from the description provided on the back cover. Disappointing. But I did feel I wanted to finish it although not exactly sure why....? "

" A depressing story, well written enough to keep me reading to the end. "

" good read - got it free from The Times - although the meeting up of uncle and neice was a bit far fetched. Interesting angle on the loves of immigrants and the affect on the upbringing of their child "

" Very engrossing wish it would slow down! "

" The story is interesting but has little to do with clothes or fashion. "

" I'd give this 3 1/2 stars, it's pretty average with some strong parts. I also really expected more of a Booker nominee. "

" Interesting story set in contemporary London. "

" This kept my interest the whole way through, I found it hard to put down. Sad but satisfying. "

" It took a little while to get into the story but when I did it was very interesting. I really enjoyed this bllik. "
