Reseñas

George McDonald I need say no more... except that I wish he had


(5 stars)

A beautiful book


(5 stars)

It is initially made a little hard to get used to many voices reading the one narration, but by the end one certainly sinks into it. Many a moment a tear needed to be wiped away, many a moment his life described cast a needed shining light on where my path needed to adjust. Thank you George, and thank you readers for bringing me this.

Refreshing


(5 stars)

It starts slowly, but pulls the listener in with gentle grace as well as interesting characters and suspense. Fans of "Pansy" and Grace Livingston Hill will be particularly attracted to this book, but it's much more than a romance. The author has much to say to anyone concerned with living a God-centered life.

Annals of a Quiet Neighbourhood


(5 stars)

I love the way the truth of God's word is woven in the story. Very interesting hearing in 1st person.

The Title Doesn't Do It Justice


(5 stars)

I am only a few hours into this marvelous book but I already can't wait to finish it so I can listen to it again (a very, very rare occurrence). I have thoroughly enjoyed George MacDonald's books but to me this is his best. I think the title is misleading and some may pass it by because it doesn't sound very exciting. Sadly, they would be missing a masterpiece.

Truth loved


(5 stars)

as with all George McDonald stories both adult and children's and for all the genres he writes in, he continues to encourage us to thought and belief in our loving Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus Christ our saviour Who is The True way to life and relationship both here and the hereafter. some readers are not easy to listen to

A bit boring


(3.5 stars)

The story is full of religious reflexions, sometimes too long. The main plot line is often interrupted by other characters' lines (which were less interesting for me). But still it is a good old English story, quiet and calming.

Great book and narration


(5 stars)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The truth is illuminated through out by Macdonald's great words. thanks to all the readers. a couple chapters were a little harder to hear but other than that, it was perfect.
