The River Audiobook

" Picked it up in the airport. Pretty run of the mill... kept my interest for the trip, but the characters were not particularly realistic or gripping. "

" This was a page turner! The loss of 2 children in a tragic drowning affects the members of a small community in different ways. Each new character she introduces is subtly connected to each other and adds to the suspense of the story- I was very surprised at the ending she chose! "

" Overall I liked the book but I didn't really get the ending. "

" There were a lot of characters to keep straight - but I liked it pretty well "

" Didn't make much of an impression! I stopped reading it over Xmas/New Year & when I picked it up again I couldn't even remember what it was about. Didn't bother trying to finish it. "

" This book was tragic yet beautifully written. The visual images it created burned into my head. I would highly recommend it. "

" Another page turner, absolute thriller and I am very pleased to say, I was surprised. I can often guess what happens next, but this one had some great twists and turns all the way through. You don't realise how dark it is until you finish it. Excellent book, would highly recommend. "

" Really enjoyed the writing and the story was beautifully done. "

" Lots of characters to keep up with, but the ending is a bit of a surprise. Interesting story to see how intertwined everyone is in a small village in England. The book goes faster after you overcome the first few chapters of being introduced to all of the characters. "

" Story about a drama that happened 30 years ago, with lines going back and forth in time. The drama, children drown in the river, influences on many lives. The end is quite awful, far from a happy end. "

" This story had lots of history that kept running into the current story line. The characters turned up in a variety of ways and so I was constantly having to rebuild my image of who they were, their motives and the complexity of their lives. "

" Lots of characters. Ending that didn't make sense. Not a book I'd recommend. "

" Didn't get on with this - very slow and quite dull. Not what I expected - disappointing "
