Got Better As I Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
In the end, I really enjoyed this book. It was a little hard to catch on in the beginning (slow start and the British tongue can be hard to follow). But as I continued, I couldnt put it down. I enjoyed the stories about the daughters far more than their mother's journal entries. Some were too long, drawn out and came at a bad time in the story. Maybe it's because you never really get to know the mother so sometimes I had no interest in reading what she wrote. After I finished the book, I was left with a desire to know more. How their lives continue, like I was waiting for the next episode. The last few books I've read left me with such a hollow feeling - I was pleased this book ends on a lighter note, even if other reviews say its too easy to believe. I recommend reading this book.

I enjoyed this book. It doesn't take long to get caught up in the characters. It's a book about life and relationships. An easy but heart felt read.
Touching book!

This is a great book. I could not put it down. As a mother, I was moved by Barbara's need to leave something for her girls. The characters are very complicated and the author gives great insight to each of them.
Tremedous!

I loved every page. I have daughters of my own and found it very insightful. If only all fiction could be this griping. Recommend it for the summer and beyond.
Love this Book!
