The Year That Follows Audiobook (Unabridged)

" It was ok, nothing great! I think that the characters where not very well developed and that it was made to seem like a fairy tail ending! Rather dull. "

" Light read. I was surprised it was written by a male. "

" So, there was nothing wrong with this book, fairly well written...but, just kind of boring in general. I didn't find myself particularly into the characters or the story line. It got great reviews from other readers and authors, but I personally found it to be okay! "

" Just an ok read, although a quick one. It started really well, but got jumpy and predictable. "

" Lasser's previous book, ALL I COULD GET, is one of my all-time favorites. This was appealing and well-written, but its lack of urgency suffered in comparison to its predecessor. It could have been subtitled "Please, please pick me Oprah!" "

" Very good book. I read it in one day. Story was interesting, and kept me entertained. "

" Would have been five stars if the ending were different. "

" I was surprised at how much I liked this book. In the first couple of chapters I was afraid it would be too much about 9/11 but it's really a great story of opening hearts & finding family not only in the people you live with but the people you find along the way. "

" Had trouble shifting back and forth from the story from the daughter's point of view and the story from the father's point of view. Didn't feel like you really got to know either one of them. "
