The Covenant Audiobook

" I listened to "The Covenant, Abram's Daughters" on cd while driving. I got to know the Amish people first hand when I spent several years living in North Western Pennsylvania, very near a large Amish community. I actually had an Amish housekeep for a while, and I felt Aimee Lilly did a fairly good job of giving her readers a feel for Amish life. Some of the character development is a little one dimensional, but I still found myself getting pulled in. That said, I was about to brand this as the book with the worst ending of all time, with the most unresolved story lines, when I figured out it was only the first book in a series of five. (Whew!) Now I am searching to find the other four books on cd. "

" This was an interesting book about an Amish community in Pennsylvania. Kind of a coming of age book but this is the first of a 5 book series. Can someone just tell me what happens?! "

" Couldn't really get into this book and ended up just shelving it after the first few chapters. "

" I'm marking this with 3 stars only because it is a very interesting plot. This is the first book in a series of 5 that chronicles an Amish family, their interaction with the Plain people, and secrets and dilemmas within their ranks. The writing is very mediocre - if Jodi Picoult had this plot she would include all five books into one and leave out all the fluff. Don't know if I'll read the other books in the series....but I would like to know how the conflicts are resolved. "

" This was an amazing book and I would read it again. It is fun to learn about the Amish lifestyle. "

" Sorry, it was just tooo slooow. I couldn't finish it. "

" This is typically my genre but i found this book boring and ever so predictable. I plan on finishing the series so I hope it picks up. "

" With Beverly Lewis, if you have read one book, you'll find you have read most of them. "

" This was a 2 slash 3 star book. I only gave it 3 stars because it slightly made me want to read the next book in the series...it was good, but just good...nothing extraordinary - sorry Tammy! ;) "

" this is first of a series about the Amish. Well written and interesting story - I will be reading the rest of the series! "

" Because I live in PA, I have read several books about the Amish. This is a religious fictional story and explains alot about the Amish way of life....... especially the wilding period of teenagers. "

" Loved the characters and story line..Can't wait to read the next one!! "

" This was a good book, but not her best. "

" I loved getting to know the characters in this series, I loved reading about their life-style. "

" This is a simple book about an Amish family, explains Amish life and drama, if it can be called that. It was interesting but beware that this is a series and you'll want to keep reading them because thats the way drama is...Its good for the plane or the beach. "

" I like how Lewis wrote this book. It was very interesting especially since I knew so little about the Amish people. "

" THis was a great series. A lot of stuff is going on that you would not think about from the Amish. Secrets, lies, the works...LOVE IT "

" Amish chick lit... done pretty well. "

" Loved it!! Very interesting look into a closed off world and society. I learned a lot! Great series!! "

" It was OK. Sweet story, but slow moving and the ending left a lot of unanswered questions. "

" I love her books. It took me awhile to get into it, but once I did i could not put it down. I ran out & got #2 yesterday! :) "

" A story about an Amish family. Leaves the story unfinished, which I don't like, and I haven't read the next books in the series, but I would put them on my to-read list. "

" Loved the insight to Amish life. "

" I loved this book! It was amazing. "

" This book started a bit slow for me but in the end I wanted to go get the second one right away. "

" I absolutely LOVE Beverly Lewis! Any of her books are good but the amish ones are awesome! "

" An amazing story and mystery. A little long at five books, it is an Amish soap opera with a great web of secrets and a satisfying solution. "

" Abram's Daughter's is a great series! It's full of mystery, romance, heartache, and finding faith in God. I loved it! "

" Had to finish to make sure something good finally happened to Leah, but not sure they were worth the last 15 pages of her happiness. "

" Fun read. Learned alot about the Amish. "

" The story kept me turning the pages and I even learned something. Very good. "

" Last in Abram's Daughters series. Very simplistic but very good. "

" Such a well-done series of Amish fiction. "

" These books were recommended to me by a friend. I liked them. It as aptly described to me as an "Amish soap opera" and so it is. We read them for a November book club. Amish=harvest=November for me :). You can't stop at Book 1. Read to the end of 5 for the complete story. "

" This is another Beverly Lewis series that I couldn't put down. The love story was great and it's a nice wholesome book :) "

" I really enjoyed reading these books. Quick reads, but as I was relating the plot to my husband, I realized they are a little soap opera-ish:) "

" I really liked this series about the Amish. They were a quick easy read and I couldn't put them down--I found the culture interesting and wanted to know what would happen. "
