The Man Who Disappeared Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Really liked the characters in this, and the story was great too, seemed to lack somewhere though to mean it wasn't quite a cracker, can't quite put my finger on it though! "

" Really enjoyed this well written novel. Will read more by this author. "

" The Man Who Disappeared I picked this book up because i was one of the newly formed TV book club books. The blurb for the story was quite exciting but unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. There was actually very little action within the novel and I found myself slightly bored throughout a large proportion of it. Less exciting than I thought it would be. "

" Read as part of a bookclub list - it is a good enough story and its well written but it lacked any real spark for me "

" "When posh people go bad" and the family have to scum it and shop at ASDA instead of Waitrose...gasp....and mother has to get a job as a cleaner!! Poor posh lady....poor child having to go to state school....shudder, just imagine that. I couldn't identify with it, but I persevered and finished it. Disappointed with the end though. "

" Quite enjoyed this recommendation from the TV Book Club - nothing too taxing but an enjoyable read. "

" Kept me interested till the end. I read it on holiday in Turkey and went for a swim between chapters "

" Read this one as a quick summer read. And it was quick, and it was easy. Can't say that it will ever be one of my faves, but it was interesting. I especially liked to see the mother's role in the family, and how she didn't know how strong she really was until it was all tested. So true... "

" This is a McDonalds of a book, so bland you can't hate it nor really rave about it. Didn't feel for the lead character at all, she was far too superficial and felt that it would have been a far stronger plot if Felix had have stayed 'disappeared' ! "

" First book I have read by this author.....bit slow to draw in at first but a generally good read "

" This started out really well, got my interest but then just went nowhere. Did not follow the story and did not feel for the characters. "

" I vaguely remember liking "Astonishing Splashes of Colour", so was quite happy to give this book by Clare Morrall a try. Not that it was bad or anything, but it just wasn't much to speak of. Okay for a summer read, but the storyline (while interesting premise) didn't quite take off. "

" Engaging novel about loss and recovery, with a surprising appearance by The Group of Seven. "

" Very readable. She' s one of my favourite writers. Great characters, well developed story. A "sit back and enjoy" read! "

" This is a frightfully clever book but you can't help thinking that more could have been done with it. Also, the book feels heavily weighted towards a female audience. That said, it was a good story well told and well worth reading. "

" Quite enjoyed this book, quite an interesting storyline and easy to read but can't help thinking the story could have had more to it, for example the analysis of the characters pasts. "

" A fairly slow read, and in places somewhat implausible. However, I made it to the end and found the writing style reasonable, the main character likeable and easy to identify with. Would I read more of Clare Morrall? Mmm, perhaps. "

" Interesting premise about how well we know the person we are married to and what happens when what we think we know is not the reality. I enjoyed it though couldn't say it was a page turner.I'd be curious to read another of this author's books. "

" Not a page turner but the story got more interesting as it progressed "

" From her first brilliant book - Astonishing Splashes of Colour - Morrall never disappoints, realistic with some great characters. "

" Engaging novel about loss and recovery, with a surprising appearance by The Group of Seven. "

" I found this quite an odd story, but, like the rest of Clare Morrall's books, really enjoyed it. "

" Kept me interested till the end. I read it on holiday in Turkey and went for a swim between chapters "

" A good gripping read, showing how small decisions lay paths that are hard to deviate from. The main strength of this for me was the way it focused mainly on the woman left behind as opposed to the man who disappeared. "

" I really enjoyed this. My only annoyance was that I didn't understand why there was so much media attention surrounding the case. I guess there had to be for the story to work but it just didn't really make sense. "
