You Were Always Mom's Favorite: Sisters in Conversation Throughout Their Lives Audiobook

" Lots to think about. I saw myself in so many of the situations. And my sister, too, of course. "

" A nice read, comforting and breezy. Emphasis on conversations between/among sisters, very much based on age, I liked it. "

" recommended by my sister - readable and thought-provoking. "

" It was an interesting read, especially the parts that could have been my sister and myself. "

" A must-read for sisters everywhere. Explains the complex relationships sisters share and talks about why sisters do and don't get along, as well as exploring the idea that the way we see ourselves as people has a lot to do with how we see ourselves in relation to our sisters. "

" Very much enjoyed the perspective on this book. Great insights that allowed me a peek into the life of my older sister. Did not care for the writing style but there was great value in what I read in the book. It is a good bedside table book to read snatches of before drifting to sleep at night. "

" I have only one sister, and whether we get along or not doesn't seem to matter. We are there for each other and we support and love each other through everything. How lucky I am. This book just confirmed that. "

" Interesting I suppose, but a bit longer than I would have liked and not much more gained as it went past the first 100 pages. A bit acadmeic, and it did not give me any "aha!" moments. "

" Great read for anyone with a sister! "

" Another birthday book from Kate. Just started it last night and am already very interested. Has both an anecdotal and a research focus- engaging combo. "

" An interesting look at the inner-language, spoken and otherwise, between sisters. I saw myself and my sister in several of the stories! Some made me laugh out loud and others made me think twice. "

" I didn't learn anything from this book. Well, I learned that for every sister out there with a problem, there is another sister out there who doesn't agree. So if you want to know if other sisters have the same problems you have with your sister, don't bother reading this book. You do. End of story. "

" So, I called my sister after I finished this book. I kind of haven't been talking to my sister for a couple months now. I would say this book did its job. "

" I love everything Deborah Tannen has written and I especially love her titles! "

" Least favorite of mine from this author. Too much of "on the other hand" to really reach basic conclusions. Reads more like a study of individual sister relationships. "

" If you have sisters...and I have 3....you should read this book. I listened to it on cd, it was so interesting. Deborah Tannen is one smart lady. This is a self-help book but she's really not telling you what to do or what to change, she simply tells what is! btw - I am not mom's favorite :) "

" Quick Read. Interesting but very repetitive. "

" This book explores the many facets of relationships between sisters, and how they develop. The author draws on extensive interviews with women of all ages. I found it helpful, readable, and insightful. "

" Loved the stories from real sisters in this "

" Her writing is somewhat rambling but the book was an interesting fast read. The book mentions an Arab proverb that was cool -- repeating an insult is like making the insult yourself. "
