This is a Gem

Review from The Correspondent →

The distinct and unique voices of each character in the audio book magically drew me in. The character development was superb as found myself loving the character, Sybil. She felt, like I was listening to a diary. You always know a story will be a favorite when you are, at the end, very disappointed the..

Perhaps better in print firm

Review from The Correspondent →

In print format , the eye would skim over the complete addresses, zip codes, dates, and time stamps.The choice not to edit these in the audio version, to only information as needed, creates a choppy Rhythm, which I found distracting and annoying. Otherwise, the epistolary structure is effective in casting a broad spectrum of interconnected..

Deep character development

Review from The Correspondent →

I really enjoyed The Correspondent. What stood out most to me was the depth of the character development—the way you’re invited into someone’s life as they reflect near the end of it. There was something very moving about hearing her look back on her decisions, her regrets, and the different paths her life could have..

Great narration. Book was meh

Review from The Correspondent →

I just didn’t love this book. I know lots of people did, but the perpetual, overwhelming sadness combined with the arrogance and stubbornness of the main character did not make it very interesting to me. Plus, she is supposed to be an English major and accomplished writer, yet she makes the same grammatical error over..
