The Husband Habit Audiobook

" Neither the dialog nor the writing in general were as good as I would have expected from Ms. Valdez-Rodriguez. She did included some very poignant impressions about the effects of war, namely the Iraq War, on the members of the armed forces, their families and friends, and the innocent victims who happened to be in the wrong place when fighting occurred. She also included some very relevant statements about the selfish and less than honest views of those who made the decision to begin the war in the first place. "

" Interesting fiction based in ABQ. Very easy read. I love this author. Very descriptive and sensual in her writing. A very "dessert" kind of book, but it was enjoyable! "

" Fun fluff. Predictable. "

" Very unique writing style. Loved it. Great characters and interaction. Very humorous. Scenery discriptions of New Mexico were interesting. Loved the whole cooking theme. Only part that tainted the story was the political/religious slant the author kept interjecting. I felt like I was being scolded at times for not having the same dissatisfaction in those two areas. Otherwise, a very enjoyable book. "

" Very good...fun. "

" This book was good!! Loved that it all took place in ABQ and she mentioned actual places like Flying Star and Nob Hill!! Great book!! "

" Loved the realtionship between Vanessa and Paul. The ending needs work. I felt the author did not know what to do for an ending, hence the las few chapters. Still a great read. "

" Didn't like this one. It took almost half way through the book to get the storyline going. I loved the other 3 books of hers that I already read, so I'm really disappointed. "

" I love her books. Strong latina women do things the way they should and not everythign is wrapped up neatly. This one features a chef who loves dogs so it really struck a chord with me. A good summer book. "

" I liked the first half of this book but was really disappointed with the 2nd half. I dislike being force fed a political agenda--it left a bad taste in my mouth. Too bad really because up until that point I was enjoying this authors writing style. "

" I loved it, enjoyed every word ! "

" First book I've read in one day :-) "

" Was going great until she bogged the entire thing down with way too much introspection. I mean honestly, it was like reading through an existential thesis of living in Arizona. Blimey, how much is too much? Read this book. "

" Thought this was a really cute novel. Light read, good story, I enjoyed it. I have enjoyed all her books actually. "

" I found this book rather hard to get into. I almost didn't finish the book, but it picked up about halfway through. "

" I usually like this author, but this was not one of her better books. By the title and cover, one would think it was going to be a fun summer beach read. It's really not. It also got a bit too preachy with the political messages. "

" slow start, but great ending "

" I thought this was a chick-lit book, not a mantra for the liberal agenda in American politics. Not very impressed with writing style. "

" Pretty good, not as dynamic as her other books since there is only one main character. Still a good read! "

" Albuuerque "

" Cute story, but very predictable and didn't like/appreciate the strong political and religious view points thrown in. "

" a very light read... I liked the food parts. "

" Thought this was a really cute novel. Light read, good story, I enjoyed it. I have enjoyed all her books actually. "

" First book I've read in one day :-) "

" New Mexico chef that continues to fall for married men....thought it could be funny but it was not. The author throws in a huge political aspect into the book and although I agree with the author, it does not fit in the storyline. Would not recommend. "

" a nice story but i can't stand the way she writes. it's all half sentences!! "

" Interesting fiction based in ABQ. Very easy read. I love this author. Very descriptive and sensual in her writing. A very "dessert" kind of book, but it was enjoyable! "

" didn't enjoy it til the very end. her dirty girls club books are stronger. "
