Up Island (Abridged) Audiobook

" Actually, more of a 2.5. Didn't care for her writing style, but story was okay. "

" Good, pleasant, read. Nice to be absorbed in a good, old novel. "

" Really enjoyed it. Shows a family can be anyone. "

" Not great literature, but a good read. Love the dog. "

" The woman I work for introduced me to this author..... I enjoyed reading this and think that I will definitely be reading some of her other books. "

" I thought the main character was a bit mopey and overly depressed, I kept thinking "get over it already" to myself. Still not a bad story and I enjoy the author. "

" This book annoyed me for some reason. I finished it as it was a quick read, but it was just so odd and depressing at times. "

" An okay story. Simple. Basic. Typical. "

" My first time to read this author and loved the book. Just when I thought I had figured out the story, something new was introduced. Not what I was expecting. "

" My first Siddons book; I liked the plot and the characters but my Lord she is wordy. "

" I listened to the audiobook "

" Well written and enjoyable. Gives you something to think about after reading. "

" This was not your typical love story, if it can be considered that. But I found it to be a interesting read. I wish she would write a sequal to it "

" i cared more about the swans than i did the characters. not too sure WHY i made myself finish it? guess i kept waiting for that A-ha moment. "

" Author sets all these books in the Carolina Low Country, my favorite place on earth. I can hear the slow drawl of this part of the south and smell the ocean as I read her books. "

" One of this author's better books, although my husband made fun of it when we listened to it as a book on tape (I had previously read it but forgotten a lot of it). Interesting to learn a little about people who live in northern Maine, since I know nothing about that part of the US. "

" Really like this audio book. The reader was really great and fit the character so well. I couldn't wait to get back into my car every day to hear more but didn't want it to end. "

" One of the most charming books I have read. I actually laughed out loud. The characters are endearing and she draws you into their lives. "

" Enjoyed that it took place on Marthas Vineyard! and just loved the story SO MUCH!!! "

" Siddons' descriptions are exquisite. "

" Nice book about how we can make our own "families." Well written. I have a couple more of her books on my shelves and I look forward to reading them, although I will probably read something else in between. "

" The book was okay. The beginning, I thought was very slow and dull. It did pick up a little...enough to hold my interest to finish the book. It was a very slow reading. I definitely like her other book better..Islands. "

" Love her stuff. "

" Molly Redwine has a year of change and upheaval. Her husband, Tee, confesses an affair and asks for a divorce. Molly retreats to Martha's Vineyard to recover after her mother's death adds to her grief. Interesting read. "

" A lovely book about relationships. One of my favorites! "

" A surprisingly good read. I did not expect to read it in just three days considering that the author is not familiar to me. I like the dialogue and the flow of the story. "

" My favorite Ann River Siddons book! "

" An uplifting, some-what comically written, story about finding yourself and making it through tough times. "

" Nice book about how we can make our own "families." Well written. I have a couple more of her books on my shelves and I look forward to reading them, although I will probably read something else in between. "

" I just seriously don't get why so many women read romance novels. I'm sorry. "

" Siddons, as usual, delivers a likeable tale of well-drawn characters. A great relationship read. "
