Almost Embarrassed to say...I was dissapointed

First, J. California Cooper is one of my favorites but somehow these stories, half of them were not that interesting. I almost felt like I was reading about the same people. Dont get me wrong, I had my favorites, and it could have been that one particuliar narrator whose shouting voice grated my nerves! It could be that the stories I was least fond of were the ones with this particuliar narrator. If you listen to the book, you will know who I am referring too!

comforting.. .

i read this book as a child, ironically while home with a broken leg. 24 yrs later, i get to enjoy this again while recovering from knee surgery. a bit of my childhood to enjoy again. the stories are great symbols of love and devotion to loving the person, the kind of love we long for but rarely find.

Great read and Great performance

If you could sum up Homemade Love in three words, what would they be?

Warms the Soul

Who was your favorite character and why?

All. Each character comes with their own story. The read should take each story as it's own lesson and not try to make it more.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to other performances by this narrator, however, the narrator was perfect for this book. It almost felt like I was sitting with my grandmother as she told me these stories.

If you could take any character from Homemade Love out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Not sure about dinner, but I would love to talk with each of them.

Any additional comments?

This is a great book for a reader that likes to hear about unabridged life. There are ups and downs. The stories do not always happy endings. However, there are typically lessons learned and /or peace found; which makes the stories more real.
