The Dead Don't Dance Audiobook

" The book overall was good. It hit a little close to home for me, but wasn't too emotional, which was good. I don't like this style of book. Its very disconnected. You're reading the story and then all of a sudden the "talker" goes back in the past for an entire chapter explaining how he met and became friends with the person. Its just not my favorite way of writing... I wonder if its all first person. I probably won't be reading more from Charles Martin any time soon. "

" This book was amazing. Sad but beautiful. Discuss's how a man deals with his wonder christian wife being in a coma. He looses his faith for a little bit but regains it by doing some amazing things. At the end (view spoiler)[his wife comes out of a coma (hide spoiler)] Just comes to show miracles do happen. "

" Just okay. Loaned to me by a friend; not something I would have read on my own. Too predictable, and found the writing style awkward in areas. Also, Christian fiction not my favorite. "

" Loved it, was on the edge of my seat. "

" My favorite Charles Martin book! The characters are easy to relate to and I just fell in love with them. I was sad when the book was over because I felt like I was losing a wonderful group of friends. "

" I thought this book started off slow, but at about pg 200, it took off and really captured me. Charles Martin writes so beautifully and honestly, it's hard NOT to enjoy his stories. "

" The writing is beautiful and the journey of the character was wonderful. I wish I had chosen a different time to read this book as three of my friends are pregnant and the plot is based on two scary deliveries. "

" I have loved all the Charles Martin books I have read, and I am anxious to start Thunder and Rain. I read The Dead Don't Dance this week and I must say, I have enjoyed his later books better. As usual there is a very sad story but there are a lot of heartwarming scenes. Overall a good read. "

" excellent--God meets all "

" Again, a great read! "

" My first book by this author. It is fiction by a Christian author, but I don't know that I would categorize it as Christian fiction - it is not overwhelming or "sappy" in its message, but has some good nuggets of truth about God's sovereignty in tragic events. Good story, well written, I enjoyed it. "

" It was similar to his other books a nice uplifting book but it had some slow parts "

" One day, when I have the proper time to dedicate, I will write a review for this book. One which will, hopefully, do this work of art some small justice. "

" Really great story of love, loss, life. Very well written & wonderfully moving book. "

" Very sad...............not much else to say. Hope to never go through anything like that. "

" Really good book! Kind of a slow start but can't but it down after a while, you have to finish it so you can read Maggie (the sequel), its much better! "

" Good book. Very quick and interesting read. "

" This book is a treat to read. The writing flows over you like a river. "

" Not my favorite....but didn't have to think too much on this book. "

" I would give this book 3 1/2 stars. Overall it was a good book, but there were a few parts that seemed to ramble that I ended up just skimming through...otherwise I would have given it a solid 4. "

" My favorite Charles Martin book. "

" In case you couldn't tell from my list, I love this author. His characters are wonderful and his settings are areas I'm familiar with so that is appealing to me. "

" I just started reading his books and they all have such great life lessons. Really makes you think and appreciate all that you have and cherish life's struggles. "

" I much preferred one of the author's later books, "When Crickets Cry." "

" One of the best books I have read recently. I read this is one sitting... which is pretty rare for me. I can't wait to read more by this author. "

" I really enjoyed this one. "

" I really enjoyed this book and now am reading the sequel, Maggie. It's nice, once in a while, to read something not violent. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't put it down. Looking forward to getting the next one. "

" Not as Good as Chasing Fireflies, but considering it was his debut novel, it's not bad. A little too mushy/romantic for my liking - but I loved the character development of the students and the main character. "

" I thought this book was good but a little predictable, and a little odd in spots. A dog in a hospital, and spelling trees and flowers in the hospital from outside? Just a few off things that created pet peeves for me, but overall the story was engrossing and Maggie a character I rooted for. "

" Enjoyed the story. It's refreshing to read about characters of faith and integrity. "

" This author never ceases to amaze me. What a voice! "

" It was kind of a challenging read for me. Seemed like it took me forever. I would say the last third or so is definately the best part of the book. I don't read a lot of books from a male perpective, it was different from some of the things I usually read. "

" Not as good as When Crickets Cry or Chasing Fireflies, in my opinion, but still a good story. I liked the sequel, Maggie, more! "

" I liked this one even more than the first of his books that I read. It was a quick read that keeps your attention. "

" Good read - a little depressing, but thoughtful and loving - The sequel I liked the sequel "Maggie" a lot more - I like the way Martin writes though - definitely worth reading! "

" Very sad...............not much else to say. Hope to never go through anything like that. "

" Not one if my favorites by this author. It was a slow read and kind of depressing. It had a few happy moments, but mostly very sad. "

" not particularly exciting. this would be a great beach book "

" Not many books ellicit my emotions, but this one did. I enjoyed it more than expected. Highly recommended; nice clean read for those looking for that qualification. "

" Good story - sad and yet hopeful "

" Pretty good for his first book, but have already read his most recent book, he has really come a long way. Keep writing, Charles! "

" This was a well written novel. It is a very sad subject, so be prepared to cry. I liked the progression the main character makes. "

" Really great story of love, loss, life. Very well written & wonderfully moving book. "

" Not my favorite....but didn't have to think too much on this book. "

" Amazing, inspirational, christain book about dealing with the problem's life throws at you. "
