The Cure for Modern Life Audiobook

" It's a heartwarming story that cheers you up when you lose hope at humanity. I love Matthew even if he seemed like a jerk at times. Deep down inside he's actually a really nice guy and it shows when he's with Isabelle (my favourite character). Although I found Amelia annoyingly self-righteous in the beginning, she grew on me by the middle of the book. The only part that annoyed me a little was how Ben always relied on Matthew to clear up his mess though. "

" A fast, easy vacation read. The characters are compelling enough, there's a good amount of time lapse. I didn't love the author's choice in what to spell out for you and what to make you assume. It was like when she did one, I wanted the other and vice versa. "

" Really enjoyed this book. Great characters you both love and loathe. Subtly gives you things to think about. "

" Liked it so much, I even found other books by her to read ... that says alot! "

" A very intriguing book ... fast paced too. "

" Interesting topics (drug abuse, pharmaceutical companies, relationships, medicine, etc.), but I only liked it enough to give it three stars. The ending was particularly bad. "

" Predictable twist and ending but a nice read anyway. "

" I liked this. It was interesting, complicated, and I think I like the ending. I would, of course, like more of a complete conclusion, but I'll just draw my happy conclustions and feel good about it all. I think I'll truly recommend it. "

" I really enjoyed her book, "once upon a day" and so i had to read this one. I learned a lot about the pharmaceutical companies, and marketing practices. It made me laugh, and want to bonk people on the head. I like the book, but I'm still not sure about the ending. "

" This is a great book club read. It deals with some provocative topics like morality, ethics and fate. The writing is OK, but the themes are what make this novel such a compelling read. It really makes you think about right and wrong, how we judge others and how people can evolve. Great read. "

" A very quick read. Was okay. Expected and wanted a little more insight into the characters and the plot was a little flat. "

" The beginning grabbed me, but I found myself finishing it just to finish it. "

" great book - interesting characters and fast read (when you have time) "

" I should've learned when I didn't really care for the last Lisa Tucker book b/c I didn't really like this one either. Language was a bit unnecessarily rough & the story was just a little bit too far-fetched. "

" I did enjoy the ethical questions that this book raised, but could have really done without some of the language. It was enjoyable and relatively quick read, though some of the circumstances and people's motives were a little too "easily wrapped up" with a bow at the end. "

" I'll post a review at another time. "

" Interesting analysis of what an ethical life looks like, and what really matters in the final accounting. Readers struggling to balance work and home/family life will appreciate the honest take on the conflicts that inevitably arise. "

" I agree with many of the other reviewers here who had trouble with the characters. Really, none of them were in the least bit sympathetic. Definitely struggled to get through this one. "

" Predictable, and I didn't really care about the adult characters, but 10-year-old Danny was charming and 3-year-old Isabelle was adorable without being too cutesie. "

" Lots of people told me this was a good book. I don't know. I just couldn't get into it. Didn't connect with the characters couldn't concentrate on the story./...... "

" A nice story. A little far-fetched. It is a feel good book, and I felt better for reading it "

" Entertaining, easy read. Hated the ending. I turned the page and looked for the next chapter, but it was over. Felt a little cheated at the end. "

" Hard to really connect with most of the characters; it was a real disappointment. "

" Intersesting, sometimes im bored reading the 'business' talks "

" we had an animated discussion about this book at bookclub but I did not enjoy it. "

" It's hard to like a book a lot when you can't stand any of the characters. But it was an interesting story. "

" I said I'd forget about it in a few days. Dreck. And I did forget! <br/> "

" I listened to this book in my car, and it was fairly good although the narrator's voice bugged me after a while. The story's ending was very unsatisfying, but after 9 disks it had to end. "

" Liked it so much, I even found other books by her to read ... that says alot! "

" Intriguing....all over the place, but kept me reading. "

" Interesting. Pharmaceutical exec who may be less evil that his brilliant friend the research doctor. I thought the story would focus more on the child, Danny. May try one of her other books. "

" A nice story. A little far-fetched. It is a feel good book, and I felt better for reading it "

" This truely not a self help book thank GOD. This is a touching story of humanity and ethics. How ethic influence the choices we make in our existance and our life. "

" She is becoming a favorite author. "

" we had an animated discussion about this book at bookclub but I did not enjoy it. "

" Interesting analysis of what an ethical life looks like, and what really matters in the final accounting. Readers struggling to balance work and home/family life will appreciate the honest take on the conflicts that inevitably arise. "

" It's all about values and perspectives. Amelia gets some much needed perspective after years of knowing Matt and judging him for having a lucrative job at a big pharma co. "
