Returned the book half way through the listen

I've never read Jojo's books before and thought I'd give it a go after reading positive reviews about her work. The story couldn't be more predictable and far fetched. The writing style is unimaginative and I was bored with the listen despite Clare Corbett's fantastic narration. She couldn't save the book for me. I am a fan of stories that make you wonder what's next in store for the characters that are developed and unique, stories that you think about well after you finish the book. I'm a fan of Murakami, Coelho, Moriarty so perhaps the bar was set too high in my mind. I won't bother with any of her books again.

Jojo Moyes

Sort of like a chick flick

My first impression is that it's a novel for women. All about relationships amongst the various characters. It obviously has much more than that because despite whatever chauvinist tendencies I may have I finished it in two days.

The story flows evenly from chapter to chapter. Whenever I resumed listening I was quickly hooked. It is an easy listen and uncomplicated.

The narration by Clare Corbett was up to her usual good standard.

I thought it was a great listen.

Night Music : the melody lingers on.

Jojo Moynes has a gift for developing characters and bringing them to life. The depths of the human psyche; raw emotions, struggles, strengths and weaknesses are explored and exposed in this beautiful story of discovery.

What a story!!!!

oh my goodness, Jojo Moyes does it again!!!! I was transported to another world of wonderful characters, deep plot, and complex issues. My tension built and built and built. I couldn’t stop listening. I think this is probably one of my favourite books of all time. I also loved the narration. I’m headed out to find more narrated by this company. Fabulous performances. it also had some magical qualities to the story, a bit like a Neil G.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book

Great story with lots of interesting characters. A couple of good twists.
The narrator was mostly good but she made Byron sound about 60 instead of 32. And Kitty sounded about 10 instead of 15. Guess it's hard for one narrator to put on a number of different voices.
