Where the River Ends (Abridged) Audiobook

" Very touching story, reminiscent of Nicholas Sparks. Be sure to have a box of kleenex handy. Just wish he'd dealt a little more with the spiritual aspects of death and dying, had the characters share their faith more. "

" Charles Martin is a great writer, not my favorite by him but really good. "

" Mary Faye's pick "

" This was a very good book! definitely a tear jerker "

" I love this author! His style of writing is so captivating. This book is a love story but not all of his books are. They make you want to live life deeply, feeling even the small things. They make you want to love better and to be present in the moments you get. "

" I stumbled upon this author and am enjoying his books - very Nicholas Sparks like, easy reading and a nice change of pace from the more serious titles on my list "

" i liked the characters, a lot. there was a ton of scenic description that i liked, but it didn't draw me into the book. i vary between rating a 3 or 4 - def. a 3.5. "

" The book follows a couple though a loosing battle with cancer. It is very touching in many parts and a very emotional story. There were a few things in it that I had a hard time with like attempted rape. But on the whole it was a heart tugging story. "

" I would actually give this 3 1/2 stars. It was good, but I got bogged down in the descriptions of the river. I found those parts a bit too wordy for my taste. Not as good as "When Crickets Cry", but still good. "

" This is the best book I've read this year. True love eloquently put into words. "

" anything written by charles martin is worth the time spent reading. His books always have a lyrical quality with an authentic southern voice. This is a good book about a husband's last journey with his terminally ill wife... not at the top of my charles martin favorites list but a very good book "

" Very sad story by a very talented writer. "

" I listened to this on a cartrip. To be fair, it was abridged, but I thought it was terribly average. "

" My favorite Charles Martin book is "When Crickets Cry" but this one is good too. His books are addicting and really touching. "

" Almost a five star. Will read more of this author. "

" i prefer Nicholas Sparks "

" Not the type of book I normally read, but a friend gave it to me. I'll admit; I cried. I don't think I could I could handle watching my husband die of cancer. In this case it was the wife, but the outcome is the same. "

" Ok ~couldn't believe the number of typos/grammar mistakes "

" I wish I had words to describe what this book did to me. The journey and the belief that it truly never ends... "

" I would maybe give it 3.5. It was annoying how every other chapter jumped from the past to the present, it kinda interrupted the flow of the story for me. Also it was really cheesy at times but in the end it was a pretty touching story. "

" Sad story about never ending love and endurance "

" I didn't like it enough to keep reading ... it was slow and didn't grab my attention. "

" Another winner from Charles Martin. As usual, I finished it days ago and keep thinking about the book and characters. Well written, great story, cant say enough good things about his books and writing. "

" It's only a 3 star because I rounded up from 2.5. It was too long and too many copy editing mistakes--and really, if I was loving the book I probably wouldn't have noticed those. As much as I've loved Martin's other books, this one was a big disappointment. "

" This was a well written love story. I liked how it flipped between the characters past and the present. The details and the pain of dealing with a loved ones cancer was very real and honest. "

" 3.5 starsThought provoking story about last days of cancer, the relationship between husband and wife, and what is true love really. It was a good story, easy read, but enjoyable. Loved Abbie. Loved Doss. Loved the flying priest. "

" What an incredible love story! This book was lovely and in a class of its own, it really gives you a mark to measure your own relationships by and probably most men won't meet that mark, sadly. I fell in love! "

" Another book by one of my favorite authors! Yippee!! It was FANTASTIC! I cried & cried. I love, love, love Charles Martin's books!!! "

" Very well written, Charles Martin takes you inside the emotional roller coaster of a cancer patient. The front cover has a warning that the book will break your heart. It does that and so much more! I recommend this to everyone, it is a true work of art! "

" This is the best book I've read this year. True love eloquently put into words. "

" I will have to read more by Charles Martin. This book is moving. Doss and Abbie face her diagnosis of cancer head on. My "eyes leaked" many times...especially at the end. "

" This book was just okay. I liked every other chapter but felt it was too much of a geography lesson in between. Perhaps if I were more familiar with the southeastern United States it would have meant more to me. "

" interesting book. good parts. bad parts. interesting parts. "

" Strange turns in this book. Very unbelievable. "
