Wonderful, engaging, with well-crafted characters and a little philosophy of history thrown in for good measure

Everyone should read this. It's a call to arms to humanize medicine, especially in our last days.

Especially good for those looking for love. Less applicable to the marrieds.

Lovely and moving tribute to family, friends, and summer.

Be prepared to throw things in anger as you read this book. It is a very necessary book, but frustrating and depressing to realize the prevailing attitudes toward acquaintance rape in our country. Be patient with the many names and graphic details because this is an important read.

As much as I enjoyed this book, I cannot believe it ended where it did! I will be on the edge of my seat until the next book in the series is published.

Another great Moriarty book! Big Little Lies is still my favorite.

Moving, to say the least. May make you want to become a doctor or psychiatrist.

Argh, who wants to listen to/read the dialogue of a couple's fight? I found this book frustrating. Her YA stuff is better.

I had to stop reading because Gleick hardly gives libraries a mention! Hello?! How can you write over 500 pages and mention libraries 3 times? We are the archetype for information organization and retrieval. Blah.

Interesting new mystery series...looking forward to reading the next one

Another Tana French classic! She has such a gift for language.

A cute read that definitely made me grateful for the friends I have and eager to make new ones

A great and tragic read - the best Alzheimer's novel I've read.

If I wanted to be yelled at for four hours, I would cruise the streets of NYC seeking verbal abuse from the homeless. That would be more interesting than this book. It could have been important, but instead Tirado's diatribe is pointless, without hope, boring, and annoying. Nickel and Dimed was much better and still feels relevant.

A well crafted, fast read. Highly recommend.

Funny, sad, and moving.

I'm so sad to finish this book because it means I have to wait at least a year for another installment! Proud to say I figured out the who, if not the how :) What else is there to say except that I'm so glad Rowling is still writing.

Great new mystery series...looking forward to The Bone Seeker!

The problem with this novel, for me, was mislabeling. It is marketed as a mystery but is really a Southern character study. It comes highly recommended, and I don't quite see why. Perhaps I've lost my literary edge in my old age :)

One of my new favorite authors. Characters are just complicated enough and the dialogue is hilarious.

Ugh, Barr has lost her touch. She seems to have some disturbing fixation on child molestation (see also: Burn) as well as trying to get inside the minds of killers, and there is practically no mystery in this novel! The whole darn book is about trying to escape from creepy kidnappers instead of a traditional Barr National Park mystery. Skip this one.

Adorable and wondrous, like Carl Hiaasen crossed with a Cajun poet. This is lyrical and magical, and a fun listen for all ages.

Definitely funny, although, now that I almost qualify as a hick, some of the more rural manly activities lost their humor. Just understand that Stein is a very upper-class urban white man - he doesn't touch on race or class or any other issues that play into masculinity.

I loved the audio version - the narrator is excellent, with a retinue of accents and a lovely singing voice as well. My quibble with the book is the disjointed narrative - it builds the mystery, but at times feels unnecessarily “literary.”
