Where the Crawdads Sing

Patriot3 — Thu, 13 Jun 2019 17:28:53 GMT

I just started this book and so far, very interesting. It's been #1 on the best sellers list for quite a while. Anyone else read it. Don't give anything away!

I read it a couple of months ago. When I first started it I wondered if I really wanted to continue. I had heard so many wonderful things about it and wasn't sure it was living up to the hype. But I did go on, got more deeply interested, and when I was finished I was glad I stuck with it. I was surprised by how much I ended up liking it. I hope you enjoy it as well!

I read it this past March. I thought it was a wonderful book. It kept my attention right up to the very last word. Highly recommend.

So far, it is the best fiction book of the year for me.

(The best nonfiction is the biography of Mr. Rogers.)

I haven't read a book in years. My mother in law suggested this book. Great read. Thoroughly enjoyed

Hated it. Only read 3/4 and end. Most people loved it.

Great book, I think Reese Witherspoon got the rights to and is going to make a movie.

Hi Patriot,

Please let me know if the plot is sad; there's enough sadness taking place in Philly's neighborhoods with children unattended and virtually unloved...I do what I can to help - and it leaves little room for more depression if you know what I mean...

if the plot is sad I can't - my heart just cant....so let me know at some point if this is a story of beauty and love as opposed to desolate sadness...ok?

Thanks!

@MoonieBaby. I think the book is both, but mostly beauty of the spirit. I liked the book.

@yellowroseCan you get the Overdrive app? You need a library card, but you can borrow books (regular & audio), cds & movies.

Hoopla & Overdrive are my 2 favorite apps in the world.

I read Crawdads on my Overdrive app.

@beckyb1012- Thanks! I'm going to give it one more try. I started it (or tried to) twice, and hardly got into it when I decided I was bored.

I think it was my frame of mind. I'm going to try once again. I don't think the ebook waiting list is that long anymore. Plus, so many people loved it.

Thanks for your positive remarks!

I'm reading it right now. Early days but I just love that sweet little pea Kya. I would say, and this is just a guess, that if you don't like it straightaway, you won't like this book. One thing I hate-the going back and forth from the past to the present. But I'm hooked now so there's no "turning" back
