The Quest for Anna Klein Audiobook

" I stumbled upon this by accident on the best seller shelves at the library. It sat at the bottom of my to-read stack, a book and author of which I had no previous knowledge. It turns out to be one of my favorite summer reads so far. Set in two main time periods, 1939 and 2001, each year is important to the plot. Much research into historical events and locations is evident, occasionally daunting the reader to keep them straight. But the weaving of all the elements to end in surprising but very satisfactory ending left me thoughtfully contemplating the task Mr. cook had set for himself in the writing of this novel. I enjoyed it immensely. "

" Wooden, one dimensional characters, and a plot that was somewhat confusing twoards the end. Though I would really like this book but was so disappointed by it. "

" Love it! What a remarkable story teller Thomas Cook is! I like this as much as "The Chatham School Affair." Both books featrue the narrator in their old age looking back on the one chapter of their lives that forever changed their lives! This one keeps you guessing till the very end, and what an ending that was!!! "

" This month's office book-club selection. Underwhelmed was I. "

" Disappointed in this book. Was not crazy about the writing style and felt it dragged a bit. Didn't care much for any of the characters either. Just not my cup of tea, I guess. This was a book club pick, otherwise I might not even have finished it. "

" Two and a half stars. Hard to get into when the story is constantly being interrupted with the interviewer's story. "

" Reading this suspenseful novel is like having a front row seat while Scheherazade weaves a story, holding you captive because you don't want to miss a single word. This is the first time I have read a novel by Thomas H. Cook. I can't wait to read another one! "

" A slowly moving story, but ultimately compelling. Not my favorite Thomas Cook, but worth the read. "

" Cook is an amazing storyteller. Another great book. "

" The story of a search for an old love in world War. The story takes many interesting turns, and the ending is surprising and satisfying. "

" A 1939 plot to assassinate Hitler, and its aftermath 70 years later. The ending was a complete surprise. "

" Reviewed (tepid) for PW "

" Disappointing ending. Took a long time to get there. "

" Very interesting book. Nice twist at the end. I'm on a WWII kick right now and this filled the bill. Good mystery, a nice love story and a wonderful way to tell the story. "

" A spy story, a World War II thriller, but not, and a love story. Confusing at times, but well written and I couldn't put it down. "

" Very interesting. Kind of a spy thriller, family saga combo pack. An elderly man relates to a younger man his experiences as an undercover agent involved in a plot to kill Hitler--but that's not all the story is about. I listened to it and found it riveting. You may disagree... "

" A slowly moving story, but ultimately compelling. Not my favorite Thomas Cook, but worth the read. "

" Disappointing ending. Took a long time to get there. "
