What Was Lost Audiobook

" So, I didn't actually finish this book. I got about half way through, and couldn't handle any more of the foul language. The story was interesting, but my frustration with language finally overpowered my curiosity to find out how it would end. "

" Thoroughly enjoyed it. It is relatively short (less than 250 pages) but the way the author intertwines the lives of characters is done very well. "

" I loved the super-dry humor, as well as the unforgettable characters. "

" This book reads like a play for some reason. I think it is the variety of voices/narrators in the story. Anyway I thought it was interesting commentary on "mall culture." Funny it is a British book, but could easily be set in the U.S. "

" Given the summer buzz I wanted to like it more than I did. I am not sure why I didn't, it just didn't stick with me. In fact I almost forgot I read it until I noticed it in a pile. I find it hard to write about a book unless I loved it, or hated it and this was just in between. "

" A funny, sad, amazing book, sort of a cross between "Harriet the Spy" and Nick Hornby. I laughed out loud through most of it and cried at the end and DAMN IT, I never cry. I want to track down the author and give her wedgies until she gets cracking on her next book. "

" Loved it. Kind of a commentary on our mall-warped culture, too. Good mystery. "

" Very poignant. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. The author drew me in quite nicely. "

" I just can't get into stories told by a precocious child protagonist. I had the same problem with "Room". "

" i now this looks like chick lit but its not and its really a cute funny little book "

" Quick read. I enojyed the story but I thought the "who dunit" at the end was wrapped up a bit quickly. "

" Almost a 4. What a great first book! Can't wait for her next one. I love the inner thoughts of the main characters; so true. "

" This book started out strong but petered out in the middle and never really went anywhere. "

" I think of this book every time I enter a shopping center. A wonderful but ever so sad book. "

" A quick read. The twists and turns and irony of the story leave me thinking, and indeed talking about it. Excellent. "

" I really liked the first part of the story with Kate Meaney. She was an interesting character. The rest of the story was depressing and a sad ending. "

" I didn't enjoy it very much when I started it, but closer to the middle of the book it got a lot better! It is a very cool mystery and when the answers are revealed at the end it is extremely surprising how the events unfolded slowly one by one. "

" Liked this book. I'm not a big mystery fan, but this is more about the characters than the mystery. Somewhat sad and depressing but there is light at the ending "

" Needed something lean, narrative, and character-based following my slow trip with McCarthy's C. This was perfect -- read in two sittings. "

" Boring and unbelievable is how I found this story. "

" Another book that I thought was kind of slow, until the last quarter, which made it all worthwhile. It's how the disappearance of a little girl affects others (not family members). "

" 1980s England, a young orphaned girl who thinks herself a spy disappears from a mall. I really liked this book, I liked the little girl and the other characters. It has a sad twist ending. "

" Really enjoyed this book. Hard to classify genre-wise as there are so many great things going for it. Wonderfully true to life characters, surprising relationships and some hilariously well observed sketches set in the shopping centre. "

" hmm... i liked this - it was a really fast listen, gripping story, and the narrator had an AWESOME accent. But it wasn't mind-blowing, at all. I feel like this is one I need to read some reviews to really absorb. "

" There were some sentences that I read over and over because I loved the way she wrote it. I could not relate to any of the characters and the story line was a little dark for my taste. "

" I found myself frustrated because it really wasn't what I thought it would be. The children in the book have so much more life than the adults. Since much of the book happens after Karen disappears, it can be a drag. "
