Abandoned at 40% and I had to check twice if this was the same Kristin Hannah who wrote The Nightingale and The Great Alone as this was just so mediocre. Bland and predictable, so unlike her other books. I honestly wasn’t WILD about the premise to start with and I should have gone with my hunch and left this one on the shelf as nothing about this book worked for me. The plot and characters were so predictable and the story just dragged. I found myself reluctantly picking up this one when I sat d...
Interesting plot. I struggled with the quality of the writing, the easy/awkward introduction of a romantic subplot, and the oversimplification of "small town life". Just to start, in this book "small town life" = the REPEATED mention of who was homecoming queen 20 years ago by almost EVERY adult character in the novel, loads of uninformed gossip, the collective "best friendness" of the entire police department, etc., etc., & ...etc. I also wish the child welfare issues were researched more caref...
Going against the grain again (not something I’ve done a lot, thankfully – maybe 3 or 4 times in the last year and a half)This dialogue in this book seemed to have a Lieutenant Horatio Caine (David Caruso in CSI Miami) undertone.This is the third Kristin Hannah book I’ve read....I finished it in order to count the author in a reading group challenge on GoodReads – 3 books by each author to count....while the first two books I read were okay, they were in my opinion young teen novels.... But righ...
I would have enjoyed this book so much more if Kristin Hannah had taken the time to do suitable research on autism, in all it's various forms. I took real issue with her use of the term, "an autistic." She also made it seem as if autistic children never make eye contact and aren't capable of feeling empathy. This simply isn't true. They're not little robots. Finally, it's RHETT'S SYNDROME, Ms. Hannah, not Ratt's Syndrome. An extra hour of research and your book could have been so much better. I
A truly beautiful story. Magic Hour tells the story of the two sisters Julia and Ellie who have never been particularly close. Julia is a psychiatrist living in LA. After having been involved in a tragic scandal relating to one of her patients, she feels worn down and torn with what to do next. Ellie lives in the Rain Valley, the small Washington town they grew up in, and works as a police officer. She’s been divorced twice and can’t seem to find what’s missing in her life. Out of nowhere, a sma...
Don't Bother Buying this BookI purchased this book because I enjoyed THE GREAT ALONE. Unfortunately the writing of this book was not of the same caliber. In fact, I doubt I will ever buy another book by this author. The idea of discovering a child who has grown up in the woods was interesting but the author could not carry it off. Plus the love story (which wasn't needed) was too unrealistic. Save your money for a better book.
Exactly what I needed after a 970 page read - quick, easy and even a bit predictable, but with likable characters. I even found myself crying at the end. A nice beach read.
In fact, three and a half stars!!But Goodreads doesn't enable us to grant half stars.."Wild" is the dramatic story of a little girl emerging from the woods with a little wolf puppy as her only companion..She cannot articulate words, only animal sounds for communication..Then a child psychologist try to unravel this enigma involving the kid!But before she can help the child, she has to overcame her inner demons..Also a beautiful love story unfolds here, which I have enjoyed very much..For me just...
DNF. When I realised it was about a feral child - I lost interest.
I would run to the train after work just so I can sit down and read this book, and I was so sad when it ended. A little girl raised by wolves is rescued in a small town, and she changes people's lives as she adapts to her new world. Really, really good story!!
I’m a huge fan of Kristin Hannah; WINTERS GARDEN and THE NIGHTINGALE are two of my all-time favorite novels. Somehow I missed MAGIC HOUR the first time around, but picked it up last week from my local bookstore. What a beautiful novel! The characters are complex and compelling. From the first page you are captivated by Alice, an obviously abused and feral little girl, venturing out of the deep woods for the first time, her wolf pup clutched close. I read the first half of the novel in a single s...
