Disappointing Performance
This is a very interesting, well-researched book. The story line is interesting, well-written and the characters fascinating. Unfortunately two of the narrators were disappointing. Rosie's narrator sounded detached and distracted preventing the listener from feeling the compassion that this fascinating character deserved. Both Rosie & Nick's narrators were devoid of emotion when relating things dear to their heart. Nick's narrator would be more suitable for a self-help book. Fortunately the children's narrators were a lot better in comparison, but on the whole I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more had I read this book rather than listened to it.

Ended halfway through the story!!
I agree with others on the narrator of Rosie's character, I almost made me give up the book early on. She sounded miles away and did not do justice to the character. There were many very boring sections for me, particularly the parts involving Gregorio the alternative healer, he was totally unbelievable and ridiculous.
The use of too many convenient coincidences to build the story were also unrealistic.
I persisted with the book as I enjoyed the narrators of Max and Daisy's characters. However I was utterly disappointed with the conclusion of this book. I felt let down by the sudden ending. It's almost as if the writer had grown bored with the characters and decided to call it a day!!
