Wild Decembers Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Very interesting writing style. Rather than starting out with character development, you just drop right into the story. Just as sad, but not the best of her books. "

" The story felt like a Greek tragedy. The end was inevitable from the beginning, but the writing ..... beautiful. Poetic. "

" Even though I quite enjoyed the story line and the setting in Ireland, I found it a very "slow" read. But I finished the book and it did get better towards the end. I just might try and read another book by Edna O'Brien before deciding I don't like her style of writing. "

" Good read if not a little depressing. "

" If you like poetry or finding a story through symbolism, you might like this book. The last 50 pages were "good" only because the first 209 were so excruciatingly hard to get through. "

" Enjoyed this book very much... "

" I found this a hard book to get into. "

" Wow. What a book. This is a lyrical, poetic, utterly engaging book. The theme is as old as books - star crosses would be lovers. But she just nails it. A story of the warring sons of warring sons in rural Ireland. "

" I loved this book. I could have done with a happier ending, but it was a great read nonetheless. "

" Wonderful lyrical prose. Edna O'Brien just gets better and better. "

" I loved this book. I could have done with a happier ending, but it was a great read nonetheless. "

" I held my breath reading this book. Not that I didn't know it couldn't have a good ending. It's a timeless story, probably as old as humankind. Good read! "

" Very interesting writing style. Rather than starting out with character development, you just drop right into the story. Just as sad, but not the best of her books. "

" I ended up skimming most of this book and didn't finish even at that. It has a lot of language and was often crude. I don't recommend this book. "

" Wow. What a book. This is a lyrical, poetic, utterly engaging book. The theme is as old as books - star crosses would be lovers. But she just nails it. A story of the warring sons of warring sons in rural Ireland. "

" The story felt like a Greek tragedy. The end was inevitable from the beginning, but the writing ..... beautiful. Poetic. "

" I didn't like it as much as the same author's "The Light of Evening," but want to read some of her short stories and see if the people inthem show some signs of a sense of humor, some sense of perspective on what fate has handed them. "

" Good read if not a little depressing. "
