The News Where You Are Audiobook

" Tv news presenter needs a ratings boost. Investigating the death of his predecessor, and paying for bad jokes. Nostalgic over buildings his grandfather designed. "

" Nowhere near as gripping or as wonderful as What was Lost IMO but O'Flynn writes beautifully yet again about lost, the lost and being found. "

" I really loved the characters in this book, and the small, every day emotional moments. I thought the big mystery was pretty easy to figure out and anticlimactic, but it was pleasant to spend time in these characters' lives. "

" Frank is a presenter for a W Midlands TV news programme with him we touch on the nature of local TV, ageing, urban redevelopment, loneliness but all rather superficially - a bit like local TV coverage perhaps? "

" Slow character development with an ending that did not merit the buildup. I was left with the feeling that the author herself was mired in the past, a dominant theme in the book. Perhaps that was the meta-context? I wanted to like it more, but then, I always do:) "

" A little slow moving. "

" 4 1/2. while i didn't love it as much as "what was lost," catherine o'flynn has got serious chops and i kinda adore her. "

" Gentle humour and moving moments of dark sadness. I loved the style of this book - so easy to read, interesting characters, something a little like a mystery story and yet not really...Very enjoyable read. I'm adding her previous book to me 'to read' list. "

" Worth the wait, but maybe not quite as good as the first book. "

" Sweet, slight little book about contentment, dressed up as a mystery. Not much of a mystery but a good character study and entertaining. "

" Kind of a strange book, but worth reading. It's about a television news reader and his mid-life crisis. "

" Her books are novels that read like mysteries. Multiple plots, it all comes together in the end. "

" Just not a favorite writing style of mine. Plot moved slowly, too many 'flashbacks' to create the scenes. "

" "Good read" but not as good as her first book. She does an amazing job of balancing humor with sadness. The concept of aging and legacy were interesting but this story just didn't hook me like the first one did. "

" This book was disappointing. It was not a patch on the surreal suburban ghost story 'What Was Lost', her debut novel. Although there was some lovely prose and perceptions about life, I felt it was a bit wishy washy and didn't really go anywhere. I wasn't gripped as I was in WWL. "

" I wasnt sure about this at first but by the end I was hooked, and reall empathised with main character , Frank. Funny and sad all at the same time. "

" Finished because it's not worth any more of my time. Skip this one. "

" This was a pleasant gentle read with a hint of mystery. Frank allcroft is a genuinely nice guy wh loves his wife and daughter and doesn't like to say no to anyone. "

" Her books are novels that read like mysteries. Multiple plots, it all comes together in the end. "

" This is by the author of WHAT WAS LOST, & although this story isn't as good, it has its moments. The protangonist's architect father spent his entire life at his job to the detriment of his relationships with his wife & son. And now all but one of his buildings are being demolished. "

" I couldn't decide whether I loved this book or not. The characters are interesting, the story moved along quickly, there were certainly some beautiful passages, but it felt like something was missing. "

" A lovely book, beautifully written, about the sadness and absurdity of life. "

" An easy read with well-drawn characters. The plot felt a bit meandering, although it managed to surprise me a little at the end. "

" I really loved the characters in this book, and the small, every day emotional moments. I thought the big mystery was pretty easy to figure out and anticlimactic, but it was pleasant to spend time in these characters' lives. "

" A great quick read. It is witty yet insightful. It examines the passage of time & ageing from so many angles through the different characters almost without you realising. I got swept along so quickly by the story. "

" Very enjoyable, easy to read, well written and engrossing book. I found that although there is not much action it didn't seem to matter. I would read this again and recommend it to anyone to read "

" I'm half way through this book, which I'm reading on my iphone. I downloaded it because the range of books on iBooks is very poor. I've got to say this is pretty lame and dreary. "
