Customer Reviews for: Songs Without Words

Rating 4 out of 5 - I was not bored
I enjoyed this book and was never bored. I came to care about the characters and wanted to know how their stories turn out. In a time when non-fiction memoirs seem ridiculous, it's nice to read an honest portrayal of life in a work of fiction.

Rating 2 out of 5 - Not as Good
I loved Clausen's Pier. This one started out intriguing with rich characters but they then went NOWHERE.

Rating 1 out of 5 - Bookclub Borded to Death -- Film at 11
I wish that I had followed the visual directions on the cover of this book and just turned out the light.

The plot points were so transparent and the characterizations were shallow and uninteresting. The characters were totally unlikeable and if I were in a room with all of these people, I wouldn't waste my time getting to know them better -- I'd leave as quickly as possible. There wasn't one that deserved redemption. The author's writing voice also didn't lend much to the story. Unfortunately, this book turned me off from trying any other book written by this author. Boring. Uninspired. Definitely going to the used book store -- if they'll take it.

Rating 2 out of 5 - A snoozer
I wanted to like this book, but in the end, it just didn't do much for me. I loved Ann Packer's other book, "The Dive From Clausen's Pier," so I was looking forward to this one. While the prose is intriguing and clear, the story drags after the first 100 pages or so and never really picks up again. It's easy to read, so I found myself rushing to finish just so I could move on to another book.
