The Secret (Abridged) Audiobook

" This book was fine. I thought that there wasn't that much going on. It took the whole book to reveal the "secret" and it wasn't that interesting or surprising in the end. Wished it had been better. "

" An interesting book. I want to read the rest of the series. "

" Beautiful and poignant first book in Beverly Lewis trilogy of today's Amish family life. "

" This was a sweet, easy book to read. It the kind that make you feel good after you have finished it. I look forward to the others in her series. "

" Interesting. And a quick read. "

" I love Beverly Lewis books. They are good books that you don't want to put down. Also are clean books-no bad content in them. "

" I enjoyed this a lot. Liked the twist near the end, and am looking forward to part two. I enjoy reading about the simple life, and also seeing that the Plain life in many ways resembles that of the non-Amish. I will read more by this author. "

" My first Beverly Lewis book. I look forward to reading more form her! "

" Typical of Lewis. You learn only what's necessary to keep you coming back, but not enought to ruin the plot. Very good book. "

" Great read, enjoyed it immensely. "

" Didn't know this was a series. Now I have to wait for the others to come out. DOH! :) Good book, though. "

" This was a great book, I sped through it As usual when reading her books I long for a simple life and would love to be Amish :) "

" I won't be reading the sequel to this one. The story just dragged on and I can probably predict what will happen in the sequel. "

" Loved it! It was a great read and got me thinking. "

" I didn't like the "voice" the author uses. I really hate how the author throws in words in the Amish dialect. "

" I loved it and can't wait for the next book. If you have enjoyed beverly lewis' other series this book if for you "

" I read this book for a f2f club otherwise I probably would not have picked this book out. I liked it...and it is the first in a series so someday I may seek out the second book, but I could really take it or leave it. "

" Enjoyed this book very much. Anxious to continue the series. "

" I did enjoy this book, however if left me not knowing what happened, there was no conclusion. It ends leading you to need the next book in this series to see what happens. Other than that, it was a good book to read and I look forward to the next one. "

" Fun read. Goes really fast. I read it in three sittings. Kind of interesting to learn about the Amish and Mennonites. When I did summer stock in Pennsylvania I remember seeing their buggies on the roads. "

" I really liked this book. You don't find out the secret until the very end. I should have guessed what it was but I didn't. Overall, a very enjoyable book. Now I can't wait to read the next. "

" Another great book by Beverly Lewis. "

" It was a good little fiction/Amish story. I really like Amish culture! "

" This was a fairly good book. What I liked most about it was getting to read about the Amish people and what their customs and beliefs are. In terms of the plot, it was so highly predictable, it made me a little impatient. This is the first in the series, but I don't think I'll be continuing on. "

" Touching... I didn't think I could enjoy a story of an Amish family so much! The secret that was came out at the very end was shocking. I can not wait to see what will happen in the next book. "

" I was really getting into this story, but it ended with so many things unknown. I guess that's why it's a series! Gonna have to read the others sometime... "

" The story of Amish families and their way of life. Mother Esh has a secret that she has kept for twenty-four years. Beverly Lewis writes in simple terms, the way the Amish live; this is the first of a series. Looking forward to the rest of the story. "

" now i cant wait to get hold of the next of the series... "

" I did find it a little slow, but at the same time I love the mystery behind Grace's mother and what was going on with her. I look forward to finding out what happends to Grace and Heather. I have just started the next book of the series. "

" This was my very first Beverly Lewis book and I couldn't wait for the 2nd book to come out. Great read! "

" This book was really slow and a lot of the time I felt like nothing was really happening. I'm not sure why the author thought it was necessary to drag it out over several books, but I don't think I enjoyed the first book enough to continue reading the rest of the series to find out. "

" So far nice different people different backgrounds and lives, looking forward to know the secretstory nice butt the way it is told could dull at tiimes "

" Reading this book was like watching paint dry. Slow, slow slow. I had to read it for a book club or I wouldn't have finished it. "

" Would like a more satisfying ending, but the book was good in general. "

" This was an ok story, but clear from the outset that it was just an introduction to the series of books. I have an inkling of how certain story lines in the book may be resolved in the coming books, but I'm all up for being proved wrong... "
