The Last Time I Saw You: A Novel Audiobook

" I got this book through first reads, and I enjoyed it. It was a light, fun, story and I felt that it was written very well. It's about a 40 year high school reunion. The story is really enjoyable. I thought it was a great weekend read. I gave it three stars because I felt that Berg could do better. This book isn't bad at all, but when you compare it to Talk Before Sleep or Open House, it just doesn't measure up. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a light read that is a lot of fun. "

" "...trusting that things will, in their owntime and in their own way, come quite satisfactorily together" (241). "

" engaging story of a 40th high school reunion. again quirky, interesting characters "

" didn't like ending "

" Easy to read - okay. "

" An upcoming 40th high school reunion is planned. Dorothy dreams of hooking up with the old quarterback. Les just wants to visit with a classmate who is also a veterinarian. Pete hopes to rekindle the love with his estranged wife Nora. Mary Alice wants to reexamine her rather painful high school years. Candy was the "it" girl in high school, but now wants only friendship. A poignant tale of the past with a hopeful future. "

" Believable characters at a high school reunion--who couldn't see themselves there? "

" Such a good lite hearted read. Easy read and enjoyable. "

" I've been reading a lot of serious books lately so I needed a Lifetime movie equivalent of a book and this served its exact purpose. Just something to entertain me on the train, a pretty forgettable book overall. "

" This book was just alright, I really was hoping that the ending would have been alittle juicier. I thought it was alittle boring, and I hoped it would have "zoomed up" a little. Oh well. "

" Good read by one of my favorite authors. This time, she hit home with her portrayal of several 58 year olds attending their 40th HS reunion and offered a glimpse back at a time in the past where they all were so very different. Next year is my 40th and I cannot wait to see my old school friends. "

" somewhat terrible - very scattered, too many characters without enough development to be able to keep track of who is who and at the end, you realize you don't really care. "

" This book was ok. I think I might have read it before. Not my favorite Elizabeth Berg book. "

" Chick lit about a 40 class reunion. Nothing special but pleasant to listen to. "

" A relaxing, entertaining read. "

" A bit like a beach read. Nothing really develops and I do not understand why they keep saying the 40th reunion is the last one ever. "

" There's just something about Elizabeth Berg that I love. Her books make me feel cozy and secure. In this novel, the storyline follows several classmates preparing to attend their 40th high school reunion (the "last" one). This is one book where I enjoyed knowing "the rest of the story". "

" Another book by Berg that reaffirms why she is one of my favorite contemporary writers. I feel like I could sit down with her for a cup of coffee and we would instantly hit it off. Just wondering though why this referred to as " the last reunion"? "

" This story was really delightful -- I loved the characters, the gradual peeling away of all their layers, and the upbeat, but not overly sappy ending. "

" It's about various people who attend their 40th HS reunion. I just had mine last Nov and wasn't able to attend, so I was curious. It was a fun, fast read, but surprisingly I couldn't really related to any of the characters, even though they were all born the same year I was, 1952. "

" This is a cute cozy read. Elizabeth Berg does a good job of developing the characters and the story. My only complaint is that the book ended too soon. I wanted more of these lovable characters and how their lives changed after the reunion. "

" Quick, light. Not a life changer but pleasant enough "

" Oh sad but true, happy and poignant....a good read. "

" I picked this book because it is about a class reunion and I will be attending mine in July. Also, I like the author. Great book, although I hope my class reunion isn't as cliquey as the one in this book. I cheered for the vet and the nerd. "

" The characters were realistic and it shows what we hold on to as individual and how our memories shape what we think even if it's not the truth. "

" As other Elizabeth Berg books have been, a simple and refreshingly honest story about individuals returning to their home town for the 40th high school reunion. I liked how the author delves into each character's life and what they were thinking/experiencing right before the reunion. "

" It was OK. The premise of the book was good, but somehow I just couldn't get into the writing. "

" Easy read. Brings back memories of high school. Very enjoyable "

" This is an enjoyable light read by the ever thoughtful crafter of characters, Elizabeth Berg. The story follows several 60-ish graduates as they prepare to attend their 40th high school reunion. The themes of appearance versus substance and growth versus stagnation are central to the narrative. "

" Loved the character development. Really could relate these characters to people from my own high school... "

" Good enough book about what it's like to go back to a high school reunion after a bazillion years. I could relate to some of the sentiments having gone to my 30th reunion a few years ago. "

" Highschool reunion Why you wanted to go why you didn't why you went a re-do or illuimination of both past and what is now "

" This was about a 40 year hight school reunion and various people attending and their little sagas. I usually like Berg's writing, but this book was pretty trite. I never could get involved in it. "

" This book was just alright, I really was hoping that the ending would have been alittle juicier. I thought it was alittle boring, and I hoped it would have "zoomed up" a little. Oh well. "

" good vacation read about a high school reunion "

" A high school reunion story with a twist - 40th reunion! Cool kids and geeks actually connect. "

" Too old.... a bit sad... just not my thing ... "
