The Matchmaker

The story line was good, but the prose was mediocre. I wouldn’t recommend it if you like literary works or even just fine writing. Reminded me of romance novels I read as a teen. 54 people found this helpful

Any additional comments? I thought The Matchmaker was very entertaining! It had just the right amount of romance and adventure. I was very engaged in the story and it definitely kept me awake on my long daily commutes. I would even sit in my car after parking to listen to a little more. I thought the reader was also excellent. She did a great job reading the different voices. It was easy to distinguish the characters. I would highly recommend this book. 70 people found this helpful

Abandonment, alcoholism, heartbreak, mutilation, abusive unpleasant characters, agoraphobia, cancer, death. If all that is enjoyable for you to meet characters possessing, then you’ll like this book. I did not. The narration was decent is probably the only positive thing I could say about this awful book. I’ve listened to other Hildebrand novels, but this one just bombed. I tried again to listen and it is still depressing, but Hilderbrand’s novels always seem to have some of society’s Misfits. I liked it better this time around, but it’s still not a favorite. 61 people found this helpful

Have you listened to any of Erin Bennett’s other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes and so far I like this one the best… by far. Any additional comments? I think we all expect an interesting story, with a few twists and turns… but this book had so many possible real life situations. Choices in life are not always easy and coincidences dealt with differently. THIS book just hit life straight on. I really loved that. I wish more of her books were less predictable and more thought provoking. I\’ve only listened to a couple, but now going back to try and find one I enjoy as much as this one. 33 people found this helpful

I love reading about flawed people as that it what makes us interesting. These people are beyond flawed. I almost stopped listening more than a few times, but kept wanting it to get better. I was hopeful that at some point one of them would show some sign of decency, maturity or just a little kindness. I was disappointed, yet finished as hope is eternal. There is one likable person in this book and he is a secondary character. The rest are truly awful. There is closure for everyone and it does tie up nicely, but these are unkind, nasty, egomaniacal thoughtless people. They think they are better than everyone else and yet are ignorant as to who they are. Liars, cheaters who believe that because they have Ivy league education that they they are better than everyone else and more deserving. I know I am in the minority, but this is not my cup of tea. 41 people found this helpful
