Summer of '69

It was a nice light read. Nothing in-depth. I know this is silly, but the narrator reading he said or she said. Really annoyed me. This is the first audio I have read that has done that.

Enjoyed the the characters but felt I wanted a bit more of each of their stories. Excellent reader.

Another page turner from Elin!!

I tried very hard to keep listening, but the narrator reading, “he said, she said” more often than not, I couldn’t continue listening. Very annoying.

Not one of my favorites.

Loved it! Great read, and was sad to see it end . Loved all the characters , as well as the story line. Easy, light, read

Loved it, every part of it. Fun read, great characters!

The story is light, light, light. There is no depth here but if you want a "beach-read" that is even less profound than most, this is for you. The narrator is very good, she is far better than the story. I thought that the inclusion of the Mary Jo Kopechne incident was cheap and trite.

I graduated from high school in 69, am a huge fan of music of the era, had twins and had a home in New England, so I related to lunch of this book. I enjoyed every minute! It was excellent!!

Very shallow writing and I simply didn’t care about the characters. Weak plot. Twice I fast forwarded 2 hours and didn’t miss anything. If I hadn’t had to read this for a book club I wouldn’t have finished it.

Very superficial, did not capture the tumultuousness of those times at all. Very much romanticized, lots and lots of white washing. Too many children sent to die for no reason and before their brains are even developed sufficiently to understand what is being asked of them and what the consequences will be.

Loved the story

A terrific summer read. Highly recommend this book that is close to reality in location and year events.

Easy breezy summer "read".

I really enjoyed this book and the way in shown how mother's thought things should be in those days it was one of the realest stories of people you rooted for them all

Nice nostalgic read . 69 was an amazing year !

I related more to Blair’s pregnancy (I’m a mother of twins) than to the interpretation of the times.
