The Edge of Winter (Abridged) Audiobook

" Simple English.. cinta, humor bersatu. "

" Lost interest half way through so I quit reading it. "

" I usually like her books, but not this one. "

" sweet book-kinda predictable "

" Easy read for a cold winter night. "

" I am now officially done with summer reads! I gave this book 3 stars because of the good research that went into the narrative about snowy owls and their behaviors as well as the history of the U Boats who came so close to our New England shores during WW2. But the cheesy story line interwoven into those two story lines but a bit much. And I also think I'm done with novels by Luanne Rice - unless of course I'm actually on a beach with nothing to read. "

" I was bored with the whole story. If your into war and birds then this book is for you. "

" Just OK. I enjoyed the concepts in this story (somewhat), but I found the plot to be predictable. I liked the characters, but never really felt attached to them. About 1/4 of the way into the book, I began to get bored with the characters and the plot. Certain sections seemed to drag on and I found myself skimming several paragraphs at a time and not missing anything profound or exciting... "

" Listened to the audio book during a ten-hour road trip. It was a bit of a slow start but I as gripped by the narrative, as I made that long journey. "

" I don't know what I was thinking choosing this book, it was way to chick lit for me. The romance was incredibly cliched and saccharine sweet. There was some nice writing, I did love the setting but that is about all. Not much else to say really as I found this book to be totally forgettable. "

" A little cheesy, but I liked it. "

" I read this book a year or so ago. I do remember enjoying the story and the locale. "

" About a mom and daughter... both find love... drama about raising a sunken war ship which adds a little history but mostly a romance book "

" This was the first Luanne Rice novel that I read. It was really good! "

" A wonderful story of how a young girl gets a town to listen, care and stand together to help a community's heritage. "

" Very predictable, but likeable characters and a nice romance. "

" Mother and Teenaged Daughter Move on after their family is torn apart by divorce. A good, quick read. "

" Probably more like 3.5 stars but I liked it overall. Nothing spectacular but it was a good winter read for me. Probably a bit cheesy and sappy for some but that didn't bother me with this book. "

" The first Luann Rice book I read. An easy read, but a tear-jerker. I like her easy, romantic stories. "

" Sappy and predictible but hell, you don't read Luanne Rice to read something thought provaking and exciting. Charming book and an easy afternoon read. "

" This was a good read, but it took me a LONG time to get into it. I finally just had to start speeding through because it was overdue at the library. I like all of the other Luanne Rice books I have read better than this one. But, it was still a good read. "

" I know there'e a lot of people that relly get into her books, and I have liked a few, but this one in particular I just couldn't finish, and I hate it when I don't finish a book. "

" Nice story although it took me a bit to get into it. I really did enjoy it though. Not the best Luanne Rice I've read but I liked it enough. "

" This book was OK. Some of Luanne Rice's other books were much better. "

" An exploration of the German sub warfare off the east coast - which I knew very little about - this, plus the emotional fallout from wars made this book much better than I usually think of for Luanne Rice. "

" quite a good story, kept my interest "

" Nice enough story, with particular appeal due to birding angle, but not impressed with author's style. Tries to hard to be touching which it is, but still.... "

" I liked this light romantic book. It deals with mother-daughter relationships, father-son relationships, and nature-human relationships. "

" I loved this book. It has romance - teenagers and their parents; estranged family members; and how people love their hometown. "

" Rice is a favorite author of mine. This is one of her least complex books. A simple feel good story. The ending could have been more developed though. "

" Loved the story, it was layout in a way you had a hard time knowing what would happen next. Life can be hard, be forgiving and try to always look for the good things in life, "

" Decent easy, light read. I wish her writing and storylines were more like those she wrote when she first started, they just aren't the same to me. However, it was a fun, easy read. I think I am nearing my end of Luanne Rice reading days though...it seems she's exhausted all of her good ideas. "

" Lets see what kind of a writer she is... "

" Quite a fast, easy read. Fairly predictable but guess I need that this time of year. It brings up some history from WWII. The description of the East coast and the birds there was great. Wouldn't go out and buy this book, but someone gave it to me to enjoy then pass on. Glad I did read it. "

" Wow. Incredibly repetitive. And pat. <br/><br/>Interesting premise, but it felt like a verrrrrry long young adult read. Kind of sappy. "

" Listened to the audio book during a ten-hour road trip. It was a bit of a slow start but I as gripped by the narrative, as I made that long journey. "

" I was bored with the whole story. If your into war and birds then this book is for you. "

" Not a terribly exciting book, but I still enjoyed reading it because of my interest in nature and the beach. "

" A pretty good read. A bit on the juvenile adult level, but not too bad. "

" Another great journey for mother and daughter!! loved this book! "

" I always love stories that have a beach setting. As this takes place in the winter it was not your typical &quot;beach read&quot; but the seasonal difference was refreshing. I've never read anything Luanne Rice has written that I didn't thoroughly enjoy! "
