The Slow Moon Audiobook

" The decission you make in life have an effect on others. I really felt the emotion of the characters in this story. "

" Good mystery although might be classified as a "chick" book as it has a lot of character descriptions in it. The story keeps us interested...it is about a group of teenagers. "

" Boo. I really couldn't get into this one. This book is like the worst kind of chick lit. I thought the plot was terrible, the characters were flat, and I found the whole thing to be pretty unbelievable. "

" My Mother gave this to me to read she really loved it and gave it a 5 star rating. I didn't love it but it was good. It took me a while to get into about 1/2 way thru it started to pick up and I wanted to keep reading. "

" I was stunned that the topic of this book was not depressing at all. Teenage rape can tend to be such a hard topic to read on... but Elizabeth Cox made this story so real - and full of feeling on both sides - that its not disgusting to read - just real. "

" This was such a great book...i am so glad i decided to read it. I loved the story and just couldnt wait to find out what would happen!! "

" Perhaps the intended audience for this book is young teenagers and if that's the case, it is probably a good story. However, I found the 'mystery' of who actually committed the crime to be not much of a mystery at all. And, there were so many different themes covered that did not relate to one another (rape, adultery, gay adolescence, parental abandonment, and Yes, even wild monkeys!), I found the story to be unfocused. I guess it could be argued that life is full of different experiences. But for me, "The Slow Moon" was a real sleeper. "

" I read this book over winter break. The topic is pretty dark, but the overall message is one of hope. I thought it was really well written, but beware it's a very emotional piece. "

" This book was not as good as I was hoping/expecting it to be. She seems to be a Jodi Picoult type author, except her characters are no as developed. It wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't a great one either. "

" All in all a good read on an interesting topic. However, there were a lot of secondary story lines that seemed extraneous and could have been left out in order to develop the main plotline better. "

" I found the story to be depressing -- too many dysfunctional families and individuals -- I probably wouldn't read it again. "

" I did enjoy this book quite a bit.... "

" Was expecting much more from this one. It started out good, but it all sort of just fizzled out midways to the end then it ended and left me rather unsatisfied. "

" This was a good, quick read. It is mystery and although I figured it out, I enjoyed reading it. "

" Meh... Thought it would be better than it was. Took me four nights to read just couldn't get swept away... The storyline was good, but did not appreciate the jumping around, I found it hard to follow, whether it was current or past being talked about. "

" It was ok. Too graphic for teenagers. The motive behind the crime made no sense to me. "

" It's an intersting book,but, I needed to have more details about each character's ending. Also I was disappointed when I knew who did that to Sophie because it's so excepected. "

" felt slow indeed. but some loose ends too. "

" I loved this book. Even though the subject matter was a little dark, there is a happy ending. This was a very quick read. "

" This book was fine. A page turner, you really feel for all the characters. A nice suprise ending. "

" Quick, easy read. I found the author's writing style to be repetative and not engaging. "

" a page turner none the less... I skimmed quite a bit of it but i'd say it was a fine read "

" Too predictable. Not sure why she threw in the monkey scene at the end. Kind of weird. "

" fast and intriguing! i like a good mystery. "

" A page-turner, but a few clumsy spots kept it from being great. "

" Good summer read...keeps you wondering. "

" Excellent read! I couldn't put it down. "

" This book was not as good as I was hoping/expecting it to be. She seems to be a Jodi Picoult type author, except her characters are no as developed. It wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't a great one either. "

" An easy read that I found interesting. Reminded me of Jodi Picolt book. "

" An ok read as a time-filler, but nothing profound or particularly hitting. "

" The book relates a rape and subsequent activies of teenagers in a small town. I thought the adult response was realistic and very interesting. A good read. "

" I was amazed by the way this crime novel was almost poetic in rhythm. The author, Elizabeth Cox, must have been exhausted after finishing this novel -- it was written that well, in my opinion. "

" Jodie Piccouolt-ish novel of love/sex/deceit among teenagers in a small town. The inter-relationships with their families and the family relation ships feel very real. <br/> "

" The decission you make in life have an effect on others. I really felt the emotion of the characters in this story. "

" I found the story to be depressing -- too many dysfunctional families and individuals -- I probably wouldn't read it again. <br/> <br/> <br/> "

" Reading this book was painful. There were too many people to keep track of, and I did not care about any of them. I found the writing disjunct, and told from too many points of view. I could not WAIT for the book to end. "

" I kept waiting for this story to develop more than it did.....and kept getting distracted by all the sub-plots that all seemed to pop up and then go nowhere. <br/> <br/>A very sad emotional book...especially if you have teenagers. "

" Blah, not my favorite. The end has a ridiculous unbelievable turn that has nothing to do with anything.....can I add that monkeys are involved. Waste of time. "

" This was such a great book...i am so glad i decided to read it. I loved the story and just couldnt wait to find out what would happen!! "

" Elizabeth Cox always offers a compelling, well told story. "

" It was ok. Too graphic for teenagers. The motive behind the crime made no sense to me. "
