To Have and to Hold: A Novel Audiobook

" I have to say, I found this disappointingly bland. I've read several Jane Green books, and I always read them with the vague feeling that I've read them before and have just forgotten the specifics. I think this may be my last attempt at a Jame Green book, which is frustrating as I loved Jemima J and Mr Maybe! Its just too annoying to read a book and find the storyline so derivative that you have a constant sneaking suspicion that you've read it before. I was also frustrated as *possible spoiler* the supposed big climax of the book is a bit of a damp squib. It builds for so many pages, then the denouement is dealt with almost as an afterthought and disposed of in about three pages. Disappointing and derivative. "

" It's Jane Green, if you liked her other books, you'll like this one.. "

" This was a new author for me. The story is very modern and lite to read. I cheered when Alice decided to do her own thing. I was glad that the author did not tie-up all the plots into a happy ever after ending. I will seek out this author again in the future. "

" It really makes you think about who you are and what you would be willing to put up with for love. "

" I read a ton of mixed reviews on this book, so I was a little leary about it, but I must say I really enjoyed. I love how the main character was able to find the happiness she deserved and be herself! "

" when you don't want to think, read some of Jane Green she's good "

" very slow starting.... not planning on finishing it.... "

" To Have and To Hold: A Novel by Jane Green (2005) "

" MY favorite Jane Green book, although no one else thinks so. "

" Jane Green is a great read...predictable (most of the time) but very entertaining in delivery. "

" Quick, easy, entertaining read. Jane Green never disappoints. "

" Loved this book! Couldn't put it down! "

" Kind of slow in places...not her best work. "

" Cute. I liked this better than Jemima J. "

" I know I read this, but can't remember much about it - so it can't have been great, but I also musn't have hated it. So it gets 2 stars! "

" Not one of Jane's best books, but a nice read anyways. "

" Great story and writing but way too much use of the "F" word. "

" I enjoy Jane Green's novels because they are quick, fun reads. This book, however, is a little depressing as you are invited into a bad marriage. "

" Another sub-par Green novel. She has done better than this one "

" kalo blm ngerasa dewasa n berumur cukup, dilarang keras baca buku ini..whahah..bisa bikin gangguan jiwa.. "

" I liked the plot twists in this book-- it didn't follow the traditional formula, and I appreciated that. "

" Setelah membaca buku ini untuk ketiga kalinya, saya jadi benar-benar merasakan bagaimana jadinya harus berpura-pura demi sebuah perkawinan yang di impian kita merupakan perkawinan yang sempurna. Dan apa hasilnya? Being yourself memang hal yang paling penting "

" Meh. Just wasn't that great, really. The characters weren't all that believable, and the ending was lacklustre. I really just hoped for something better, I guess. It wasn't a complete waste of time, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. "

" Chick lit pure and simple. "

" the first half of the book was quick to read, but started making me feel kind of depressed for Alice--I loved the second half though because it made me want to move out the the country and fix up my own cottage! "

" It was an entertaining enough read, but the ending was so cheesy. "

" Very girly, very chick-lit to the highest degree. But I liked it, and think that I read it before. "

" Good chick lit. I liked it because we have all been in one of those "how did I get here" situations, especially with men. The guy was such a jerk in this book as well, she really did deserve better, but when your "dream guy" comes along, I can see how she gets swept up in it. "

" I liked the ending! I am not a big fan of books on infidelity. "

" Decent, easy read - pretty funny at times, but the plot was almost too predictable. The main character in the story seemed too intelligent to also be so naive. "

" It was a really good read, the kind of book you can pick up and read in a couple of days. Even though I had a good idea of what was going to happen, I liked the journey to get there! "

" Standard chick lit. I'd say skip it. "

" My favorite Jane Green book yet! "
