The Lady in Blue (Abridged) Audiobook

" I love how a historical intrigue is turned into a subject of a book. The author narrates the story both from the past and the present. The climax was an exciting part where history meets the present and the present explains the history. A fun read for those whose interests lies in the unexplainable events in past and a contemporary author's attempt to explain it. "

" This book was just OK. It probably won't stay in my collection. "

" Not bad. Not as good as his other books but still entertaining. "

" Muy bueno el mensaje que nos manda con este libro aunque un poco flojo "

" Dan Brown meets Paulo Coehlo. Not bad. Abrupt ending. "

" Growing up in New Mexico, I was intrigued by the book's premise and location and thought it would be right up my alley. What I didn't expect was that it would be more DaVinci Code-esque. Now, mind you, I enjoyed the DaVinci Code, but this book seemed like a knock-off. The story is about a legend of the appearances of a "Lady in Blue" who appeared to Native Americans in New Mexico in the 1600's and told them to be baptized. It also centers around a nun who can supposedly bilocate or, in other words, be in two places at once. The book dragged a bit and then picked up a bit towards the end and then I was let down at the end. It was disappointing. "

" If I could I might give this book 2.5 stars... maybe it deserves 3... but I just finished it, and I feel very unsure. I was very underwhelmed with the ending. I felt while the book was written well and in an interesting way (the book jumped through time and focused on different characters at different points to keep the reader from knowing too much at one time), parts of the stories were not completed and the ending was very underwhelming. I guess I just kept waiting for the big surprise that would tie all of the parts together, and it just wasn't there. However, it was interesting enough to keep me reading until the end. Slightly disappointed. "

" Difficult to follow at times as it moved over serval time periods. Definitely not a gripping read. "

" A mystery-suspense that deals with angels, apparitions, and intrigue in the Catholic Church. Not an easy read, but for me worth it in the end. "

" stay away from this book. it's the lamest thing i ever read. literary technique is horrible. writing style is just so blah. (no offense to the author) "

" I enjoyed this book right up until the last chapter when the author took the easy way out and created an absurd solution to the mystery. Rats. "

" Terrible. Ridiculous. Terribly ridiculous. Ridiculously terrible. "

" Javier Sierra is one of my favorite authors and I think "The Lady in Blue" is his best book. "

" This story had potential but it seemed like the author wasn't sure where to go with the story. I honestly got a little bored sometimes. "

" I liked the format of chapters that alternated time and point of view. I thought the format did an excellent job of building the story towards what I had hoped would be an intriguing ending. Instead the ending was disappointing in its attempt to be clever. "

" creo ue estuvo un poco aburrido, no entendi mucho "

" I wasn't particularly fond of this book. Someone else may be interested in the saints etc. of the Catholic Church. It jumped back and forth to 1300's to present day. I got lost a couple of times. "

" This is a book that explores Catholic mysticism, but it is so of base and poorly plotted I wouldn't recommend it. "

" I had a hard time staying focus and at times I was confused. I thought this book was okay, but I won't recommend this book. "

" It was too similar to Angels and Deamons and there were aspects of the book that were not correct (Native American history, culture, etc.), so I just couldn't believe it. "

" Mistérios do passado e do presente, lendas ou realidade, o caminho para a verdade é emocionante! "

" Four stories meld together to create one story. I like the premise of the book, but it's just not written very well(translation problems?). I think McGowan's and Brown's and Berry's books with the religious mysteries are more entertaining. "

" Usually I love these sort of historical mysteries, but this one was difficult to follow with less than engaging characters. "

" Well done! A nice translation too! "

" Another historical/religious/mystery/thriller by Sierra. Very well done. "

" Took awhile to get in to but enjoyed it. Listen to the authors' notes at the very end that discusses how the book came to be written. Interesting in that the story is based on "reported" events. "

" I have an advanced reading copy. Excellent writing but the davinci-code-like story sucks...mostly because it is about the Catholic apropriation of sacred Indigenous myths. "

" stay away from this book. it's the lamest thing i ever read. literary technique is horrible. writing style is just so blah. (no offense to the author) "
