Tomorrow Audiobook

" This was a very boring book with a very shallow plot. At the end my opinion was "so what?" "

" This book was very disappointing. After I finished I went and read some of the reviews on here and they all pretty much say exactly how I felt about it. The premise is fantastic and there is is this big build up to the "secret" and then it is such a let down. I love the idea of the mother writing a letter to her children the night before they reveal a life changing secret. However this was done so poorly especially given that the secret had to do with infertility. The mother frequently focused on the fact that their father and grandparents were not "true" relatives, as if that matters in real life! A parent is the one who raises you and loves you and cares for you, that does not necessarily have anything to do with blood. Her entire perspective was ridiculous and unrealistic and I would imagine offensive to those who have actually gone through this battle. Additionally, there is a great deal of focus on the sex life between the parents, which a parent would never put in a letter to their children, nor would a child be interested in those intimate details. A shame that with all of the potential it was a bust. "

" This book could not end soon enough for me. In fact, I don't think I finished it. "

" The narrator and her husband have kept a secret from their children. I may have missed the point, not being a parent myself, but while the secret is important, I think she's being a bit of a drama queen. Some fun flashbacks about life in college during the sixties "

" picked up randomly from library (liked the cover and the jacket led me to believe it was going to be good). a long story about nothing! one night in a womans life worrying about telling her 16 yr olds that their dad, who is a great guy isn't really their dad. they were artificially inseminated by someone random and have a kept it a secret. The Englsih make way too big of a deal about nothing! Why did I spend 5 days on it??? "

" If there was a zero stars I would give it to this book. Great reminder that just because a book catches my eye at the library does not mean I should automatically read it. "

" That few men can write a credible narrative/journal from a female point of view. "

" This book was ok!!! But beautifully pictographs mother s thoughts!! "

" Dit viel me erg tegen. Een lange monoloog : een moeder die haar 16-jarige tweeling iets wil onthullen/bekennen. Een mijmering die al snel gaat vervelen.... "

" I have read a couple of Graham Swift novels before - Waterland & Last Orders - and really enjoyed them, but I couldn't even finish this one. I actually found myself saying "blah blah blah" in my head. The narrator was so boring and kept going on and on about the same things. Very disappointing. "

" It ws bound to happen. Swift is one of my favorite authors, but this was his first disappointing book. The narrator was inconsistent and at the end, I felt duped, not enlightened. Nothing much memorable about this one. "

" If you loved waterland, don't read this book. It will ruin Swift for you. "

" A good book about loss and how we face it. "

" I haven't disliked a book this much in years. The voice was too rambling and annoying, the "hook" of what she is going to tell her kids tomorrow is thrown in your face way too many times, and I ended up skim-reading it. A shame. The premise seemed so good. "

" Far too slow-paced for my taste. There are not many characters in the book and we don't even get to know anything much about the personality of the 2 youngsters. Disappointing. "

" While this book represented a fascinating feat of imagination on the author's part and was beautifully written, I can't really recommend this book. "

" Good book. The big secret as to what "tomorrow" was actually going to be all about kept me turning the pages ... "

" This was a tad unbelievable as a storyline....nit sure you would ever talk to your children in a letter like this suggests. But that said, I did have to finish it in case something interesting came out of it...... "

" I kept waiting for a bigger relevation than the one that was eventually revealed, but the book was a short, lovely mediation on family and love. "

" Only skimmed the final 20% of the book. By then I had given up caring what she was waiting to tell the kids. "

" Just... get... to... the...point! Ugh! Okay story, but it's written the night before the great secret is unveiled. And it goes in circles & turns & twists ad nauseum. Finally you get to tomorrow & find out the big secret - and you're left with "That's it?" Disappointing. "

" I will never get back the time I wasted on this book. "

" Beautiful writing, but the story becomes tedious after a while. "
