The Weight of Silence Audiobook

" enjoyable read- not super notworthy. "

" I really love the way that Heather Gudenkauf writes. The two books I have read by her are absolutely gorgeous and have such a simple flow, which makes her books so easy to read and to follow. I loved Callie and Ben, their sibling relationship melted my heart and knowing that Ben would do anything to protect his little sister was lovely to read. "

" So good. A must read' "

" I really enjoyed this book from start to finish. I had trouble putting it down at times. It's sad that so many women really do stay in those situations. The author did a great job tying up all the loose ends. Would definitely recommend this one. "

" Engaging story of two little girls who get lost in the woods. plenty o twists and turns to keep you guessing, and a sweet ending that wasn't too syrupy. "

" Couldn't put it down. Never expected the ending. "

" A quick read that was pretty predictable. The author's character development was a strength, her creativity a weakness. "

" I love this book. I read it in 2 days. Definitely keeps you wanting to know more. "

" While I like the one person style of writing, I found this book slow to progress. I can't say I will give Heather's other books a read after the disappointment of this one. "

" Was an amazing book! "

" Not just a suspensful story about two girls gone missing, but so much more... "

" Very interesting story. I really liked how it was told from the perspective of the 5 main characters. It was a little slow at first but then I couldn't put it down. "

" I really love the short, fast, suspenseful chapters. "

" I simply could not put this one down. Captivating characters with real-life flaws and a compelling storyline. I'll be checking out her other books for sure. "

" I liked the characters and the way that each chapter was seen through the eyes of different characters, written in the first person, apart from Calli, a 7 year old selective mute who's chapters are written in the third person. Reminded me of Jodi Picoult's style of writing. "

" Heather Gudenkauf heeft nog een boek geschreven naast deze en 'voor mijn zusje' en die ga ik waarschijnlijk ook lezen. Ik hou wel van de stijl. Een verhaal verteld vanuit verschillende perspectieven. Laagje voor laagje een verhaal ontrafelen. Zeer genietbaar leesvoer. "

" This was an easy and engaging book to read on vacation, but I wasn't overly impressed with the somewhat predictable plot and conclusion. "

" Good story, but I found it very depressing. "

" I am hooked on the author and her writing style. Fast paced and kept me wanting more, to really know what happened and why Finished this one in less than 24 hours. "

" LOVED IT!! LOVE her writting style. couldn't put it down! "

" Each chapter is from a different persons point of view, which I like. Just found myself skimming a bit where stories overlapped. "

" This Book Is Amazing Pulls You In From The Vet begining and i could hardly but it down ...defintely a page turner the characters were so believable..i felt pulled in from the start =) AMazing! "

" Really liked the twists in this... A little predictable at some points, but love seeing strength in families and children! "

" Interesting plot concept, and certainly a page turner, but a little disappointing in the end. Too many coincidences that lead up to the events of that day which made the whole story not come together for me. "

" I really liked this book, good character development and suspense that kept building. I still think about this story. "

" Similar to Jodi Picoult with each chapter told from a different main characters view point. Interesting book that I couldn't put down. Sweet, mute Callie is my favorite! "

" This is a fantastic book! I loved how each chapter was written in the voice of a different character. It made you see all view points of the story and kept you guessing at the same time. I would highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys a book that can make you think! "

" I liked the characters and the way that each chapter was seen through the eyes of different characters, written in the first person, apart from Calli, a 7 year old selective mute who's chapters are written in the third person. Reminded me of Jodi Picoult's style of writing. "

" She was NOT a good mother! "

" Another great read by Heather Gudenkauf. "

" "In her debut novel, Heather Gudenkauf masterfully explores the intricate dynamics of famlies, and the power that silence and secrets hold on them..."-Ann Hood, author of the novel The Knitting Circle and the memoir Comfort:A Journey through Grief "

" This was an easy and engaging book to read on vacation, but I wasn't overly impressed with the somewhat predictable plot and conclusion. "

" This was a book that kept my interest from begining to end. "

" This book was a very fast read...I think I read it in two days I couldn't put it down! I enjoyed it so much I picked up her second book and read that in a couple of days as well. I don't know what else to say...it kept me guessing right until the end, suspense and drama all wrapped up into one. "

" I really enjoyed this book, the relationship between Callie and her older brother Ben was lovely and really held my interest. I liked the short chapters, the book was written very much like a Jodi Picoult book. "

" Two little girls go missing in the woods. One is a selective mute who has not spoken for 4 years. The story is told from the viewpoints of many relevant people, including the deputy sheriff, a mother & a brother of one child, the father of the other, as well as Calli herself. "

" I love short chapters, but this book seemed a little slow to me and confusing at the start..lots of why questions, why couldn't the girl who knew the woods so well find her way home....why couldn't they find her... "

" This was an ok book. I would probably go with 3 1\2 stars really. It is a quick, easy read..I felt it kind of got "wordy" in spots. I do like the first person narration in each chapter. It was definitely her first novel, but I will try her out again. "

" Really good, written like Jodi Picoult "
