The Little Book Audiobook

" Still one of my favorites ... a great 'time travel' and mystery, plus a bit of historical fiction all wrapped up in one book - loved it!! "

" This was a book club book and was quite different than a "normal" one. It actually led to quite a bit of discussion. Quite a bit of time travel with interesting time and place. Some threads of the story werre a little weak, though. "

" Perfect reading right after a Vienna vacation if you're into the Secession movement. "

" This was a very, very bizarre book. But I think I liked it. My question is (not to be too spoilerific), who was the ambassador?? Is his name ever mentioned? "

" what a great book! Has lots of things I love -- time travel, stories in stories, history, great writing! super beach book without being too popcorny. "

" Excellent book. I particularly enjoyed Wheeler's childhood. It did get a little tedious reading all the "facts" about Freud, Vienna, etc., but probably most readers are into that stuff. Wheeler's childhood friend Bucky/Buddy (can't remember), and the way the author used Wheeler's memories of him, was my favorite part. "

" I really enjoyed this book but fell just short of being great. To many times the story falls back on repeating details, and I found the end of the book fell really flat for me. So overly romantic mush. Bad end to an otherwise really good book "

" Time travel steampunk, victorian manners, Vienna, with some good and bad guys and daring women, and strange overlap of relations ( well time travel will do that). A fun read. "

" I'm currently re-reading this to brush on it for book club discussion at the end of the month. It's the kind of book that ties together a lot of threads at the end, so it's been fun to read it again knowing the whole story. You catch a lot that went right past you the first time. "

" I like the part in Boston better than the part in Vienna. "

" I really wanted to read this book. And I tried. And I tried. But I just couldn't get into it. After maybe 50 pages, I couldn't bear to trudge through the remaining 350-ish pages. "

" A nice story. And nice to read it while in Vienna. A little too cheesy (insincere?) at parts for me though. "

" It was okay, but not one I would normally read. Time travel, Hitler, Vienna, music and family. Some parts were good, other sections dragged on and on! "

" If you were into Time Travler's Wife you might like this... I didn't fall in love with the characters but the rich descriptions of turn of the century Vienna kept me reading. "

" Strange, can't get into it. "

" Very interesting - takes place in Vienna 1897. A bit complicated but good. "

" Too sentimental. Things had to happen the way they did because the plot demanded it. That's annoying. "

" Another fascinating historical fiction in which the author makes time travel necessary in order for the past to develop. "

" A good , if not , confusing book. "

" Really enjoyable read. It takes a good 50-70 pages to get into, but worth it in the end! "

" I have always been hooked by a good story of time travel. Late 19th century Vienna is always an interesting time period. "

" what an interesting book. intriguing, thought provoking and a testament to love. i'm glad i have it on my Kindle. I plan on reading it again. "

" This was a fun. I learned about Vienna, Austria in the late 1800s: Mahler, Freud, Hitler, and European politics. Fascinating story line. I thought the ending lagged a bit, but everything else was enjoyable! "

" I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book after something of a slow start. It only gets four stars, though, because certain plot elements left me unsatisfied. "

" Time travel, historical perspectives and fiction all in one "

" Really enthralling story, with loads of thought-provoking themes running thru it. I applaud the author for not giving up during the 20-odd years it took to write! "

" Awful. The happenstance of a Forrest Gump written by a John Irving wannabe. "

" I give this book an A for originality and historicity and boldness. I give it a B or C+ for teh writing, which was a bit clunky. "

" This book is clever and not badly written but I just had difficulty caring about the characters or what happened to them. I attribute this to not enjoying time travel stories that much. This one has pretty good execution but it just wasn't my cup of tea. "
