The Lost Prince Audiobook

" Didn't make much sense. I wanted more from this book. In the end it was disappointing. "

" So now I have to go read The Little Book. It would have been nice if the flyleaf had mentioned that this was the second part of an on-going story so I could have read them in order. Instead I spent a good portion of this book feeling more confused than I needed to be. Having said that though, I truly did enjoy this book. It reminded me of the old authors like Dickens but easier to access. The premise: a young woman, Eleanor returns from Vienna in the late 1800s in possession of a broken heart, a mysterious ring, and an even more mysterious journal, along with foreknowledge of every major historical event to occur within her lifetime. It is up to her to determine her role in causing the events outlined in this journal to come to pass. She knows who will be necessary to this unfolding but not necessarily where to find them or what, specifically, they must do. With strong determination and serene aplomb, Eleanor sets her life on the journal's proscribed course with surprising and satisfying results. Famous historical figures such as Freud, Jung, and Mahler, and an "insider's" look at how ordinary lives were affected by events both large and small lend appeal to anyone with a bent toward historical fiction. A nice blend of fantasy, romance, and history for the reader looking for something a little bit different. "

" Like it though a bit of atlas shrugged capitalist theme "

" Interesting concept but took way too long to get there. I mostly just skimmed the book to see if the title was at all relevant which it turned out to be. "

" started out strong and held my interest until the last quarter and then it fizzled. "

" I really enjoyed this. What a great find. "

" I didn't realize that this was the second in a series, and I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the time travel premise. It created an opportunity for the character to explore psycho-analysis and independence. The book was so well written that reading it was like opening one butterscotch candy after another. "

" Surprising, subtle, and most of all, elegant. "

" Follow up to The Little Book was sadly, not as goof as the first book "

" I loved Selden Edward's The Little Book, but I couldn't get into The Lost Prince. I read halfway through but realized I forcing myself to continue. Life's too short, and there are too many good books out there for that. "

" I liked the premise of this book...it felt a little Somewhere in Timeish. Having a blueprint to your life would be such an odd predicament. I love how she was able to go about doing so much good, and gaining such great independence in a time when both were so limited to women. A really unique story. "

" Very different but intriguing...set in Vienna and the US during the beginning of the century. "

" i love seldon edwards works. they make you think. you learn a lot about the history of austria at the turn of the century and during the first world war. you learn about the history of freud and his followers. "

" Book was relative good, story of knowing the future to buy stocks, war, potential loss of a friend and finding him, but too long. "

" I suggest reading The Little Book before reading this. "

" Great book. Loved the premise of free will versus destiny. "

" I also read this book not knowing about the preceding novel, "The Little Book". This book on its own was fascinating. The story pulled me in and I felt enthralled by Eleanor's story. I can't wait to read the first book to round out this saga. One of the best books I've read this year. "

" It went on too long, but I enjoyed most of it. "
