Fantastic I listened to The Long Way Home on audible. Usually, it takes me quite a while to finish a book if I'm listening but I could not wait for an opportunity to finish this book. I switched to the print version so I could find out what happened. The story centers around four women traveling across the country. Each person has her own reason for going on the trip. What starts out as four strangers trying to change the path they are on ends as four friends realizing you really can't change th...
Loved this book. Would love to see it in a movie. Enjoyed that you got to learn about each individual, as well as the dynamics of them in the group. Definitely recommend.
Mindless, and is definitely better on audio as the entire book is almost all conversation. An entertaining listen but you have to suspend disbelief and it has no depth.
After so many good reviews on this book, I really looked forward to it. I was almost immediately disappointed. Four strangers decide to take a road trip together after barely meeting one another while each is struggling with their own demons. One of them is a psychic (hard to read about when you don't believe in that stuff), and she seems to be the one guiding the rest. The description made it sound like a long road trip with lots of adventure. It was actually brief and the women split up half w...
This book should be called the Lame Way Home. The only reason I kept reading was in hopes of it getting better, it never did! The characters are so naive they seem ignorant and the 23 year old psychic? Really? This book had no redeeming qualities. Save your time and read the Sunday comics, you'll probably find more depth.
This the first book I read by McQuestion and I have to tell you that I really enjoyed it. McQuestion has a genuineness that comes through the pages. She tells a story that any woman can relate to. The story is about how grief brought some very different women together and how each gave the other something that they did not even know they needed. I marveled while watching the women evolve and create bonds while they traveled across the county. I laughed, was moved, cheered and honestly, at times,...
I discovered this book through an Amazon Kindle recommendation. It was a great story and page-turner. It isn't a book with any literary magnificence, or grand prose or anything like that. It was a fun little story with heartwarming characters and a good book to read as an escape.
Barely finished it. The writing was bad, the plot was mostly bad. The characters did not feel believable to me; the only one I liked was Laverne. Barely above a one star from me.
friendship and trustLoved this book. The book is a story of how women can change other women’s lives -friendship happens because of trust. These were probably the4 most odd people you would see getting together. It was fun to read and fun to read the endingROAD TRIP
Beautiful I really enjoyed this book, keeps you entertained! I’m really enjoying this author. Can’t wait to see what I will read next
Another Great Readm causation plays with the idea of intuition and psychic was abilities in everyday settings. This is a fun, laugh out loud, story.
Road trips are great Four women take a unplanned road trip to Las Vegas to check on one woman’s stepson. Sweet story of friendships growing and a little bit of psychic ability thrown in along the way.
Karen McQuestion's The Long Way Home is an entertaining and enjoyable read. I loved the characters with their own unique personalities and backgrounds and how they interact. Enjoyed the way the story unfolded and how the women dealt with the issues that came up on their trip. I would definitely recommend The Long Way Home.
I tried to read this book on my Kindle. The story involves women meeting at a grief support group. A much younger woman comes rushing in because she’s psychic. She doesn’t really belong there; she just arrives because voices tell her to go somewhere, and she wanders around until the feeling gets stronger, and she ends up there. Meh. It started to lose me at that point. I set it aside. Since I’m supposed to read this for a book group, I decided maybe the audiobook would work. I could listen to it...
This book had been on my wish list for years. Last week I purchased a month of Kindle Unlimited and this book was one of free books so I thought Yah! but after reading about one third I have to say Nah!It is too rosy too not real too cutesy and I am not in the mood for a book like that where everything seems to be so unrealistic but is portrayed as being the normallest (<---made up this word I think?In Dutch we say normaal and normaalste) thing of the world. Women that do not know each other go
I was not a fan of this book. A story about four female strangers on a road trip to las Vegas from Wisconsin in attempts to reunite one of the women with her estranged stepson was told haphazardly and was completely unrelatable. I've read other books by this writer that were somewhat interesting so I was expecting something a little better than this mindless novel. I would not recommend this book to any of my fellow readers.
The writing - sentence structure, vocabulary, grammar - seemed appropriate for a story aimed at 3rd or 4th grade. It was grating.The characters lacked depth and believability. As others have noted, the elderly LaVerne carried around a baggie of her family's prescription and OTC medications and cheerfully doled out uppers, downers and pain medications to members of the trip. She is never challenged, even by doctors in a hospital, for having and giving out these meds, and the others in her party t...
I picked this up as one of those cheap Audible Daily Deal books, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There's a bit of paranormal stuff in here, but it's not so much that you want to reject the book as being silly. Young Jazzy has always had the ability to hear spirit voices, and most often the voice she hears is that of hear deceased grandma. Jazzy is compelled one night by her grandmother's voice to drop by a grief counseling session. Her bubbly positive personality uplifts everyone in the group, and
