Dreadful reading

The book was ok though not as good as I had hoped but the reading of it was so awful that I had doubts about listening to it all the way through

enjoyable read

really original book.loved the dialogue and setting.looking forward to her next book.great narration.new York sounds wonderful in it.ending slightly a let down

Very interesting !!

Loved the story line !!! Amazing how people react to money and keeping up appearances and the consequences of not having any money !!!

Strangely captivating

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would and I have. It's a simple story based on the standard middle class fear of falling.
That said, the characters are well drawn if not entirely likeable. You stick with it as you want to see how it pans out

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The sense of dread that the inheritance was lost. The panic that set in. It was very real and human. At times the introspection became heavy going and the time jumps into the future didn't work.
That said, it was well written and I will watch for other titles from this author.

What does Mia Barron bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

She is an excellent narrator, one of the best I've come across.

Was The Nest worth the listening time?

It was a gentle stroll and I don't regret buying it.

Any additional comments?

Worth the gamble!

Entertaining

This is a lovely, fairly simple story of a short period of change in a family, but very nicely done.

The characters could easily have been caricatures - the gay antiques dealer, the suburban homemaker, the quirkily dressed writer - or entirely flat, but instead were created warmly and with depth and detail.

The narration was very good also.

Overall, it's not great art, but it's entertaining and thoughtful.

unexpectedly very good

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this story of a modern day family. Lght and easy listening.
