The Possibilities of Sainthood Audiobook (Unabridged)

" whoooo. laughing so hard i am in pain. heeehee "

" This was just a delightful story! It was fun to follow Antonia as navigated her way with her family,her crush, and her best friend while trying to become the world's first living saint. She was hilarious! "

" It was cute, but she just didn't seem genuine. "

" This book was a great deal of fun. It's a slice of life I never lived, but was always curious about, that of a teen-aged Catholic school girl. She is obsessed with the saints and has a letter-writing campaign with the Vatican to add some saints...and she volunteers to be the first living saint! Filled with details of Providence, (Rhode Island...and the other kind as well!) Italian groceries, a mother's love, and an unforgettable First Kiss, this is one to leave out for any junior high or high school girl, especially the more innocent ones finding their way. "

" Cute story. I learned a lot about saints and what they are good for. Not being Catholic I didn't know how many saints there were and what they were for. A saint for coughing? Anyway, Antonia Lucia Labella is determined to be the first living saint in Catholic history and every month for the past 9 years she has been writing to the Vatican Committee on Sainthood imploring them of new saint and offering herself for the position. Along the way she performs some minor miracles on her own and proceeds to winterize her family's fig trees for the Rhode Island winter and wears a crown of (LIT) candles in her hair for the St. Lucia festival. "

" I thought this book was AWESOME!!!! Saints are really actually pretty interesting. "

" This is the kind of book I consider to be my "comfort food". It was light and cute and didn't require too much from me as a reader. Was it spectacular? No. Was it the kind of book I would have liked at age 15? Yes. "

" Cute romance. Has some funny moments. "

" The writing style reminds me of how a 15 year old girl would actually speak. Pretty quick read and a nice break from heavy reading. "

" While this is total candy, I liked it. Very much YA interests. "

" Amanda liked it but I got tired of it and skimmed the last half, just to see if it would get better. Not. "Kind of cute" is the nicest thing I can say about it. "

" This book is about a chatholic girl going to a all girls chatholic school. Next to her school is a Chatholic all boys school. She has a crush on one boy but on her way to trying to become saint like be apart of the Pope. Amazing book some drama and mystery "

" Very interesting and funny! Great, romantic read :) "

" A pretty amusing teen book. "

" A little slow at first to get into for me, and I'm not sure how well it would play to MS/HS boys, but I found Antonia to be a wonderfully engaging character with a very honest voice. Definitely a fun read! "

" A really cute YA chick lit about a girl who aspires to become the first living saint. I enjoyed getting a glimpse into the world catholicism and saints. A very likable character- Antonia Lucia Labella. "

" enh... "

" I really enjoyed this novel. It covers first love, romance and journaling. "

" I thought this book was very religous and since my family is majorly Catholic, I thought it was a pretty good book. It was amazing how she knew so many saints. "

" This is one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read. I actually bought 3 copies and gave them to a few of my friends. I laughed until I cried. It is a sweet and very funny coming of age story of first crushes and being careful about what you wish for...you just may get it. "

" Not really Catholic dsepite it's title and topic...quite the opposite. "

" I feel like I can't even accurately judge this book since I'm not the target audience, but I'm not sure if I'd want my daughter to read it. "

" This book is about a chatholic girl going to a all girls chatholic school. Next to her school is a Chatholic all boys school. She has a crush on one boy but on her way to trying to become saint like be apart of the Pope. Amazing book some drama and mystery "

" This is my kind of book-- an innocent romance written with humor plus something to learn. Antonia is an Italian Catholic girl who is growing up in New York. I enjoyed learning about Catholicism, Italian family dynamics, and watching her find herself. "

" Such a sweet book ! "

" This is one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read. I actually bought 3 copies and gave them to a few of my friends. I laughed until I cried. It is a sweet and very funny coming of age story of first crushes and being careful about what you wish for...you just may get it. "

" This is really a very fun book for girls ages 12-14. It's simply an Italian-American teen who really wants to be a saint while at the same time really wants to kiss a boy. A fun story. "

" Book on CD. Cute book but predictable. It had so many descriptions of saints, which was interesting since that is something I have zero experience with. "

" consideration Did not stand up to My expectations. "

" cute - clean - nice "

" Meh. Sorry, Donna Freitas. It was great to hear you at the FFW, but your book was just okay. Antonia has a great voice throughout, but I wasn't convinced that Michael was right for her in the end. "

" Clever and fun to read about this Italian Catholic family and its cultural nuances. Not my favorite style of writing with a young girl talking about lust and such. Even though she's aspiring to become the first living saint her mind seems a bit too one-track (boys/kissing) for my tastes. "

" Couldn't get over the bad writing. Especially that the characters addressed each other by name in about 80% of the dialog. That drives me crazy. "
