Listen by Rene Gutteridge

This is only the second book I've read by Rene Gutteridge and I have come to the conclusion that I really must read more of her books. I started this book Friday after work and finished it Saturday afternoon. I really wanted to stay up and finish it but I knew I needed to get to bed cause I had some things I had to do Saturday morning. Listen is a book that makes you think about what we say when we think no one is listening. In Listen we get to meet the residents of the small town of Marlo. Marlo is a sleepy little town that is about to be turned upside down when people's personal conversations are posted on the Internet. All of sudden friends are against friends and chaos becomes the norm for Marlo.

Listen is an excellent book..it keeps you turning the pages trying to figure out who could be responsible for the posted conversations and why. Not only is this an enjoyable read but it leaves you with some food for thought. The power of words certainly can be mighty than the sword.

As you can probably guess I highly recommend this book and I personally am looking forward to reading more books by Rene Gutteridge. :)

  1. I want this book! I tried to get a review copy, but didn't make it in time.

    Her "storm" series is spectacular! Be sure to read them if you get a chance.

    Never the Bride (with Cheryl McKay) is another great book. It's going on my "keeper" shelf! Supposedly it's coming out as a movie at some point...I can't wait to watch it.

    Another wonderful review, Angie!
