Liz and Sarabeth were girlhood neighbors in the suburbs of Northern California, brought as close as sisters by the suicide of Sarabeth's mother. In the decades that followed, their relationship remained a source of continuity and strength. But when Liz's adolescent daughter enters dangerous waters, the women's friendship takes a devastating turn, forcing Liz and Sarabeth to question their most deeply held beliefs about their connection. From the bestselling author of The Dive from Clausen's Pier, Songs Without Words is the gripping story of a lifelong friendship pushed to the breaking point.

I was not bored -  |
Songs Without Words Review |
|
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. |

I loved Clausen's Pier. This one started out intriguing with rich characters but they then went NOWHERE. |

Songs Without Words Review |

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. |

A snoozer - |
Songs Without Words Review |

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.

Disappointed - |
Songs Without Words Review |
|
A few years back I read "Dive From Clausen's Pier" and enjoyed it, which is why I picked up this book. However I was very disappointed with this book. First off, Ann Packer needs a better editor! This was so poorly written in areas that I had to read and re-read to try and figure out what she was saying or trying to say. (And I am an avid reader so this does NOT happen often.)
In addition, I didn't care for the story and I really have no idea what she was trying to accomplish or say with this novel! While it was an interesting premise and it intrigued me...I just couldn't relate to the characters at all, well, mainly Sarabeth. But since she was sort of the main focus, it just ruined the story for me. Like I mentioned, I am just sort of left wondering what this author was trying to say here, what was the point? Overall, it left me pretty confused. I won't pick up another novel from this author. |
