The View from Mount Joy: A Novel Audiobook

" I read this as an AD (Advanced Read) before it was published and I greatly enjoyed it. "

" I don't know why I wasted my time on this one. It was a slow read. It seems like I was reading it forever yet I never got anywhere in the book! Total opposite of Water for Elephants. In the future, I will just stop reading! It was an interesting story, however. A light beach read. "

" not what I was expecting, but it's a good read. "

" I mostly read this because I was going to hear Lorna Lanvik speak. Not one of my favorites. Would reccomned "Oh My Stars" over this one. "

" This is a great book with lots of ups and downs in the life of the charater of the book. It's funny, catchy and a fast read. "

" Funny and interesting. Easy enjoyable read. "

" Sept. Book Club title. Landvik's characters are well developed and I really enjoyed how well the 70's are portrayed. "

" A fluffy, but fun read -- gearing up for dinner with the author this weekend. "

" Liked it. Didn't love it. "

" Sometimes a little too perfect and unbelievable but a fun and easy read "

" Just okay. I finished it and was not upset at having spent the time reading it but I really have no opinion strongy one way or the other. Probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone as there are too many other good books to spend time in. "

" Novel about a "good guy" and his relationship with the most popular high school girl. Leaves me wondering which lived happily ever after. "

" I like Lorna Landvik, and I liked the book. The male narrator's voice seemed to become less authentic at the end - but it was rather courageous of her to make the villian female - a flip flop of her usual plots. "

" Good read about family and life. "

" an enjoyable enough book, but definitely not my favorite by Lorna Landvik "

" This was a really good story - very heartwarming, and easy to read. I really liked the characters, and found that I wanted to read more about them. Highly recommended! "

" Nice story about a small town boy. "

" This was a pretty good read. The main character was well-done. I felt like I knew him by the time I finished the book. "

" Contrasts the lives of friends Joe Andreson and Kristi Casey. Enjoyed very much. "

" I really enjoyed spending time with these characters. There were a lot of sweet moments, and a lot of laugh out loud moments too! And even a mention of my lovely maiden name - Grina. "

" Fun maketing idea: games at a grocery store. Joe Andreson improvises games and prizes to often benefit people in need but the winner is not always who he expects. Includes blended families, long term relationships,happiness-THE view from Mount Joy. Fun read. "

" This was a nice story about a grocery store owner in Minnesota. It was a nice read. She also wrote "Patty Jane's House of Curl" which is one of my favorites. "

" This book was pretty good. It kind of glossed over a lot of things, but I did enjoy it. If you're into the latest in literature, probably not your thing, but it was a pretty good read. "

" Kind of naughty! Didn't love this one! "

" If you are a Lorna Landvik fan, I really recommend this book. "

" This was a fun book and quick read. I could relate to the era it was placed in. "

" I started reading this book, but there was some explicit sexual content, so I didn't want to try to forge through it. Not worth it. "

" Read this on vacation and it had the perfect fluff/non-fluff ratio to satisfy me but not tax me. The whole time I was reading it I kept thinking I had read it before but couldn't quite remember if I had. That's the kind of book it is - predictable yet enjoyable. "

" Readable. Some strong areas. Good ending. "

" A nice feel-good story about completely unbelievable characters. It was an enjoyable read, but not an especially memorable book for me. "

" It started out really good but plot sort of fell apart and I kept thinking "what is the point of this story" by the end. Also, the author had a hidden political agenda and that is always annoying to me... "

" I absolutely loved this book. Joe is a great character who had a lot thrown at him in his life and always landed on his feet. "

" much better then her other book about angry housewives eating bonbons. still light reading but not too shabby for $3 at barnes and noble "

" i love the author Lorna Landvik. She is a Minnesota author who has some wonderful quirky characters in her books. I have read all of her books. This is one is not as good as some others but still an enjoyable read. "

" I enjoyed this one, but not as much as other offerings from this author I've read recently. The characters didn't capture my heart as those in Patty Jane's House of Curls did. "
