Every Last One Audiobook

" Amazing audiobook! Hope Davis manages to give life to a range of distinct personalities and to make the story come oh so alive. I think she's a fantastic narrator. And Anna Quindlin is a bloody amazing author. So there, the perfect combination. "

" Anna quindland has a beautiful style of writing, and the story unfolds with its twists happening unexpectedly. Hope Davis does an excellent job bringing the caracters to the front with different inflections of her voice, tone and even accents, makes you feel you're right there. An excellent reading/acting "

" I wasn't expecting the magnitude of the tragedy that happened. The last half of the book it's hard not to put yourself in Mary Beth's situation to try to catch a glimpse of how she must be feeling & how the reader themselves would cope if in the same scenario. Well-written, honest, easy to attach to the characters. "

" Outstanding book, could not put it down. I haven't ready Anna Quindlen since "Black and Blue", now I remember just why I so enjoyed it. Ms. Quindlen's style of self-reflective musings and probing of the motherhood gene had me nodding and agreeing often. It's been a long time since I've been in tears by simply reading a book. Highly recommended. "

" After the unspeakable happens - it is inevitably about forgiveness, family, living & loving - and ultimately choosing to live again. "

" Wow...what a page turner!! So sad but an incredible story with characters that I felt I knew. "

" A sleeper. "

" Anna Quindlen's writing is such beautiful use of the English language. She can capture a sense, or a moment, so perfectly. In this novel, it is all about mothering and our connections to our children. It feels as if someone were reading my mind and was then able to condense my thoughts and feelings into concise and articulate words. There is not a fast moving plot, but the inner dialogue of the main character is so compelling. I couldn't put it down. "

" Sad story, but so well-written. "

" A bit trite but wanted to see how it ended. A good one to read if you have don't have too much time to read at once and need to put it down for a week or so. "

" OMG. All I could think while reading the second half of the book was "I'm so glad this is not my story." I bawled my eyes out...the pain of grief was so real. "

" It is a phycological ride in the point of view of a young mother having 3 children where the younger pair is twins. The climax of the story is totally unexpected senorio and it took me by surprise. Overall it's a nice book. "

" Loved it - well developed characters and really felt as if I was MaryBeth. DO NOT READ ANYTHING THAT GIVES THE PLOT AWAY! The rising action was perfect and the turning point was predictable yet shocking. I felt the ending dragged just a bit,but not enough to spoil this story. "

" This is a great book, but it was a tough read during the second half. The second half is rather devasting. "

" She is an incredible writer - emotionally parts were tough to read, but well worth it. "

" Ordinary people leading seemingly ordinary lives only to have it all fall down around them. Anna Quindlen knows how to tell it just right! "

" I really enjoyed this...her take on grief and children was really insightful..I look forward to reading more of her books "

" This book was just okay, it was a pretty slow read. About half way you git hit with a huge twist, and then it goes back to being slow. Definitely didn't keep me very interested. "

" Very touching, like Anna's way of writing. "

" Heart-wrenching story. "

" Incredibly engaging and heartfelt story. Just not one I'd pick up if you're in the market for something uplifting, as that it is not. But a very well-written story that was a great audio read. "

" I found it to be very emotionally intense...it kept me riveted. "

" It was a real tear jerker. Slowly the story revealed itself. By the time I got mid way through the book I couldn't put it down. I had made a note years ago to read more Anna Quindlen and just stumbled across it recently. I will look for more of her books. "

" A perfect balance of sad and hopeful. Beautifully written. "

" I read this book in a weekend. It made me sad, it brought out very strong emotions. As a mother to twins, I felt for her twins, especially after what happens. A very good book. I love Anna Quindlen! "

" A little morbid and sad.... "

" Beautiful writing but the subject matter was a little grim for my taste... "

" I couldn't put this book down. How does a mother survive life when her two children and her husband are stalked and murdered by a neighborhood boy. The intrigue of this story is what happens after the horrific event. How will the mother carry on her life with her remaining son, Alex. "

" This started out as a great story...a little slow to the climax of the story. After the "main event", I kept waiting for the story to pick back up, but it never quite did. Not a bad story, but I was a bit disappointed. "

" Don't read the inside flap of the book-- it gives away too much. "

" This was a really great book that threw me for a total loop! I love it when books do that. "

" This was the first of her books I've read, and I loved it. Beautifully written. "

" Anna Quindlen has a way of pulling me into her stories, and I cannot put them down. I start out thinking it is kind of mundane as I watch how she combines everyday events with events that blow the characters' lives apart. "
