To Heaven by Water Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I usually really enjoy Justin Cartwright's book but I was a little disappointed with this. It is entertaining as the author has a great eye for detail and social commentary, but I wasn't really engaged with the characters, and some of the behaviour was unbelievable. "

" decent prose, often silly characters, unsatisfactory ending "

" Just okay - I found it a little cumbersome at times. "

" An OK read, not fab.. probably wouldn't suggest it to anyone! "

" I enjoyed this and was gripped from the start. Good characters and fun plot kept me going and I liked the level of detail - reminiscent of Anne Tyler's style - that you get with Cartwright. Basically that's why I read fiction. "

" Good story with family issues and some thought provoking pieces. This author understands how people tick. "

" Total navel-gazing book. You keep waiting for it to get to the point or the plot, but it never does. I only read it because I was on a long, international flight with nothing else to read or watch. "

" I loved the imagery of the author, as he tells a tale about a recent widower's journey of love and loss with his grown family and brother. "

" Seems to me that Justin Cartwright has the gift of capturing ordinary families and finding the drama of everyday life. Death too, and ageing. But this is not a morbid book. His comments on relationships can ring too close for comfort, some days. "
