Waiting For Spring Audiobook

" This book could benefit from serious editing, 30 percent of it could and should be deleted. Length does not always equal quality. Excess can (and did) result in a very annoyed reader. "

" A sweet,old-fashioned romance "

" I thought the beginning really captured the sadness and pain of the main character Tess. But it never ended and just seemed to get worse and worse. I hated the constant "counting" the main character did--from the steps to her apartment to how many days since something bad happened. Maybe I missed something there. I obviously got that Tess used sex for validation, etc...but the sex in this book (usually called f--ing) got old really fast. For someone who supposedly thought in terms of color, and creative colors at that, there was nothing bright and colorful about Tess or this story. I thought the drug dealer and Rachel story was bizarre and anyone could see how that was going to end. I hated the stupid story about the broken pin...I feel terrible for being so mean, but the ending was so neat and tidy and unbelievable I just had to cringe--I think it might have been better to end like "Looking For Mr. Goodbar." I think this was a first novel, so I have to say, I couldn't have done it, but maybe streamline the story next time. I'm still "Waiting for Spring" No pun intended--well actually yes it was! "

" This is the first ebook I have bought. "

" A great read by a Maine author. Wonderful description. She made me feel the depths of the character's desperation. Beautiful slice of life book. "

" A metaphoric, complicated search for something beyond mere existence, dare I say hopeful and good. A realistic sketch of life filled with color and beauty, flawed by jagged rocks under feet. "

" A fun YA read, but there really wasn't anything new or groundbreaking in this novel. A cliche narrator, a predictable plot, and a merely adequate control of storytelling language made this another run-of-the mill teen read. "

" this book was really long and at times I felt like the author dragged on a bit but in the end it was very well written. it is an incredibly emotional and a lot of the times sad story and the author did a really god job of making me feel tess's pain. I would definitely recommend this book. "

" This book has captured raw emotion like no other I have ever read. I wept many times while reading this. I ached for the leading character. It was a good book I liked it "

" It was a beautiful story of family, pain, forgiveness, love and moving on. But it feels a little too wordy. "

" Great story, a little depressing in the middle, but with a happy ending! "

" Terribly disappointed and disgusted by the contents of the book. I think it only has a serene and cute cover page, other than that this one superbly fools the reader! I think this could be given a miss. "

" A hauntingly beautiful novel. "
