Erema

stick with the words

(1 stars)

FBL

a fabulous tale, made ridiculous by another reader who must add so much to prose that needs nothing. I will try to find more by readers that are content to let the words be. The primary reader , ( I had to skip 3 exciting chapters as I could not understand a word of another,) made every word so strident that the heroine appears hysterical throughout. Do those who record for Librivox listen to their recordings? Dreadful.

But it seems to be a bit long and drag out a bit. It also gets kind of preachy. Erema is a young lady who's father takes her to the US at the cost of his own life. She is taken in and raised by a friend. As she gets older, people come to where she lives in an attempt to steal her away from her foster home. As she gets older, she decides it is time to uncover the secret her father kept. So she travels to England, where her family was originally from. She knows her father was accused of murder, but why did he flee from that if he was innocent? What is the secret surrounding her family? I have to say, I kind of struggled listening to this book. It is long, a bit dry in some spots, and a few of the chapters are read by someone with a distracting accent. It is an okay book.

Just ok

The story was rather long in some parts. The end sort of left me going huh? I never could figure out what Erema did with the estate in England, or whether she married. I just felt like things were not tied up well. Also the narration of this book overall was really rather poor. One narrator I could not understand one word she said. Linda Dodge's narration was clear but just so dull.

Entertaining

The author's style enjoys keeping his readers guessing w twists in various sub-plots. It's true he didn't end w usual "they married & lived ..." etc. Instead, his chosen twist in parting was to leave the plot open for your imagination to complete & savor. Did the man pull his head together & ask her, or ...? What were the results for each party? Can the story then continue in your reflections? 8-)

I enjoyed listening to the book and thought it had an interesting and entertaining plot. It did get tedious describing a few events, and there were a few chapters that I resorted to reading online as the speaker was too difficult to understand.

Very good story. Exciting and uplifting.
