You Came Back: A Novel Audiobook

" I read this just in the nick of time to revoke its nomination as a book club choice, thank goodness. We affectionately refer to ourselves as "The Bad Book Club" and this would have been a contender for the worst of the bad. Thankfully I took one for the team and saved them the hours they would have lost reading this. "

" Started off good, got a little long-winded towards the middle, and (at least for me) ended on a most unsatisfactory note (maybe because by then, I'd grown weary of the decreasingly sympathetic characters). I did, however, keep reading, so I guess that's saying something... "

" This book made me very sleepy. The premise showed promise: a divorced couple get contacted by a woman who says she sees the ghost of their deceased son. The husband doesn't believe in ghosts and is engaged to Someone new. I made it about 200 pages and realized almost nothing had happened. It was unbearably slow moving. "

" I want to give this one a 2.5. I really liked it for maybe the first half, and then it just went in a direction that I didn't like at all. "

" I was Mark Fife in this book. Could not read it fast enough. Highly recommended. "

" Haunting and sad novel about a man who is finally coming to terms with his son's death... Until he is told that maybe his son isn't entirely gone. A sad but engaging read. "

" Wish it could have had about a 100 pages shaved away... "

" It was a good story. The characters were shallow at times and immature but overall, I enjoyed it. I would gladly read another book by this author. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I liked the suspense and family drama this book had. "

" Although the geographic familiarity brought back fond memories, the thematic proximity perhaps left me too close to the plot to evaluate it effectively. I was left wanting at the end, but of course, so were the main characters. "

" Just loved it! Does anyone know if there will be a sequel? "

" It's hard to review this book without spoilers, so be warned - mild ones ahead. As a mom, it was a hard topic to read about, and I found myself hoping for a different outcome, simply because I know I would want what this mother wanted. "

" I think I thought it would be more like Stephen King and it wasn't. However, I enjoyed the ending. "

" Started out strong, got a little too loose and meandering in the middle but had a satisfying finish. "

" What begins as a ghost story turns into more of a study of loss and what we will do to get what we have lost back. A gripping tale which made me think what would I do if I lost a child and might be able to get them back. "

" creepy. kept me turning the pages, but I was disappointed in the ending. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I generally stay away from supernatural or sci-fi types so reading a ghost story was a change of pace for me. I thought the characters were well done, plot was great and it kept my interest all the way through. "

" A wonderfully written exploration of the ties of love between parents and children, and how that love can overshadow the beliefs and certainties we hold. "

" Not exactly what I expected. As Mark moves on from the loss of his child and marriage, events conspire to prohibit him from moving forward happily. Ending is different that how I thought it would end. "

" Story is set in Columbus (my hometown) and I know the author's family. I always enjoy that! "

" Sad and hard to not relate to all the characters in the story- well written "

" This book was awesome! It's about the possibility of a couple's dead child coming back as a ghost because he wants them to get back together. Also about a medium who may or may not be on the up and up. This author knows how to write!! "
