The Loop Audiobook

" The talking parrot as messenger of God theme is quite fascinating. We all seek meaning in the events of our lives, Lymen is seeking his in the vision of a bird's sayings encapsulating his life. Counterpoint to his world view are the previous owners of the bird and the librarian who helps him search. "

" I could not put it down because I wanted to know what happened next to these curious characters. "

" Very entertaining, interesting characters. "

" 3.5 stars. Ending so-so. Rest of book good, ending anticlimactic "

" One of the best feel good books I have read in a long time! I couldnt put it down and loved the quirky yet totaly believable characters. It is odd reading a book with local references in it, but it didnt take away from the story for me at all. "

" unique short read. Details of Lyman's third shift Courtesy Patrol job and what he did with his time off were interesting. Ending seemed a bit improbable. "

" Lyman befriends a lost parrot that changes his orderly if dull existence. A librarian named Fiona gets into the mix, and by the end he's completely out of his rut and off to new adventures. Unpredictable plot, interesting characters. I like the bird. "

" Good story. They made a movie out of this, too. I just happened across it and rented it. Was good. Oh, they changed the title to "A Bird of the Air." "

" Fiona, is a community college librarian who likes to talk loudly in other people's libraries. "

" Not my favorite Coomer novel (that would HAVE TO be One Vacant Chair), but still a fun quirky novel with unforgettable characters. "

" An odd look into the lonely life of an orphan. As a bird lover i enjoyed the story of the oarrot much more than the story of the main character. The end left me wanting. "

" I'm not sure I would've stuck with the print version, but the audio narration worked well for me. Reminded of Anne Tyler's style, for those who might be fans of hers. "

" A quick read that really grew on me. Main character Lyman is simple and complicated at the same time - that's an amazing feat of writing right there! "

" If we look around we are never truly alone. There is always someone who will befriend us no matter how much we try to isolate. "

" This is a NYT Notable book? Gimme a break. It was TERRIBLE. "
