Review from An Assassin in Utopia →
I had no idea about any of this, so I was completely fascinating. However, the narrator’s voice was harsh and unpleasant.
I haven’t listened to a book Lynn Austin has written that I haven’t loved! This one definitely made me cry! The sacrifice and redemption is so beautiful.
This book promotes archaic religious doctrine about men controlling their wives, God controlling women, and the idea that sin against religious conventions leading to punishment on the subsequent generations. Disappointing.
loved the story through all the generations of women. I loved hearing struggles of old and made me think of my German grandmother and what she must have gone through. I also loved hearing faith brought into a story, so refreshing to hear Christian values and authors not avoiding God in our lives. I loved..
Concept was good. Dialogue seemed choppy. I felt like some themes among the characters could have been explored more. Some of the performers narration was almost intolerable.
Loved the mystery. I felt the recap was too long-winded. And really, he didn’t need to kill the dog! There were two male chauvenist comments. The narrator gave a wonderful interpretation of a young woman, but her narration dropped sentence inflections. Still, there were great moments of humor and the characters were believable and sympathetic…
This book keeps you on your toes. The jumping from person perspective to earlier history and the modern era and how it all came around to be was very well thought out and I commend the author. Spiritually speaking, it demonstrates the racism of different immigrants and it all boils down to the same issues..
I loved this book. I learned so many things from it and enjoyed very much the style of writing as well as the narrator. Listen to this book. Your life will benefit from it.
Definitely in the top five of the best books I’ve ever listened to. Filled with heartbreak and with joy. And the narrator did it great justice.
