The Middle Place Audiobook

" Loved this book. It looks at the reality of dealing with all the complexities of real life, what is happening to you, your parents and your kids all at the same time. We rarely get the chance to deal with one at a time. "

" Excellent! A great read for anyone whose life has been touched by a sister, cousin, friend's breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Author's style is humorous, honest and engaging. Thanks, my friend, Mary! "

" Cancer, father daughter memoir, very readable, affecting but not deep "

" I loved this non-fiction book. She's a wife, mother, writer who's diagnosed with cancer and her dad get s cancer diagnoses at the same time. I truly appreciate that she chose to share her journey with her readers! "

" unbeleivable book. so close to home for me! I absolutely loved her style of writing. Easy read but really grabbed you in!! "

" I could not put this book down. I thoroughly enjoyed it, felt like she was my best friend! "

" such a good story! lot's of bookmarks for gems, not only the thoughts but the way they are expressed. about being "caught" in the middle between your own children and aging parents... "

" About the only new thing this book had to offer was how close this author was to her Dad. Her breast cancer ordeal was so lightly/humorously handled, I felt like I was at a stand-up comedy club listening in. Weird book, and I don't know who I would recommend it to. "

" Does it sounds crass to say a book about dealing with cancer and an aging parent is "light" and "easy to read"? My brilliant sister-in-law recommended this book and by the time I got to page 20 I was already hooked. "

" A complete comfort to me!!! "

" I adore this book. I read it last month and I'm still thinking about it. It's one of the few books that actually made me laugh out loud... and this from a book that is about some serious life issues. Heartfelt, and moving, but also entertaining. "

" This book is not just for cancer patients. It is about family and relationships. The author is a writer so it has a wonderful flow about it. I couldn't put it down, but when I had to, it was easy to pick up again. I had a great father, but I came to love "Greenie" is this story. "

" Fantastic writing! Funny, sad and real. Enjoyed her honesty and her family. Almost made you wish you were her. "

" Quick, easy read about a woman trying to find her place in adulthood. Parenthood is never easy, especially when you up the ante and include taking care of your own parents. Loved the authors wit and humor in the light of life's challenges. "

" Enjoyed. Light-hearted even though she grapples with some challenges. "

" I loved this book - I couldn't put it down and was up all night reading it. "

" A very moving memoir about a woman's battle with breast cancer, while her dear dad fights his own cancer. It's a loving look at marriage and family. "

" This is a memoir about cancer and family... but it is funny and uplifting, surprisingly. The author's father is one of the most lovable characters I have ever seen in a book! A beautiful read. "

" By far the best book I have read in a long time. It is a very uplifting and easy book to read. "

" Thanks, Shelb! "

" I couldn't put this book down. It made me laugh... and cry. It made me nostalgic for my childhood. I really enjoyed Corrigan's writing style. Closing the book after the last page feels like saying goodbye to an old friend. "

" A great book that used humour and fantastic prose to tell a story about learning to deal with cancer. It was also neat that I know one of the people mentioned in her book.... "

" Excellent. Kelly Corrigan shares her breast cancer and adds stories from her youth to make a great read. "

" It was ok. I greatly admired her courage with battling breast cancer. But by the end of the book she got on my nerves, I found her self centered, naive and almost arrogant. And I didn't like the way she treated her mother. "

" I enjoyed this story about a family dealing with breast cancer. I would have given another star but for some foul language. "

" A funny, sad memoir of Kelly, a woman who has breast cancer. The writings of the book jump around a lot, which at times make it hard to follow. "

" This was the perfect thing to read on the plane to a visit with my parents, sister and her kids. My parents have had cancer 3 times altogether and luckily have made it through. Time spent with 3 generations right now is precious. "

" Funny, heart-warming, real and refreshing! I don't even know this author, but I'm pretty sure we'd be great friends (just based off her book). MUST READ "

" More promising than it delivered, although it did make me cry. "

" Validating. Humorous. Entertaining. Real "

" "The Middle Place" is the place between childhood and adulthood and the book is part memoir part cancer chronicle. It was nice and all, but the swearing was a definite drawback. Barely a 3. "

" Another favorite slice of life book. I loved the way the author wrote about very real, difficult things that eventually happen to all of us in one form another. "

" Interesting read about one woman and her battle with cancer. Well written and entertaining. Some foul language. "

" good book, super easy and quick read. both sad and funny. "

" This was a fairly quick read. Characters are well developed and the reader gets to know them. I loved Ed as much or more than the Green Man! "

" When I first started this book I thought for a second it might be a really depressing read. I quickly learned that was not the case. A big part of the book is about Kelly and her fathers fights with cancer but to me the main focus was the great relationship between a girl and her dad. "

" This was the perfect thing to read on the plane to a visit with my parents, sister and her kids. My parents have had cancer 3 times altogether and luckily have made it through. Time spent with 3 generations right now is precious. "

" The middle place is "that sliver of time when parenthood and childhood overlap." Book is about dealing w/ breast cancer and her relationship w/ her father. "

" Well written and a great story. "
