Summary: Mitford by Mistake
Review: I picked up the audio cassette of At Home in Mitford as an impulse when leaving my local library. No sooner had I listened to the first few minutes when I knew that I was hooked on the people and the countenance of this quaint North Carolina town. Jan Karon draws pictures with her words, and Jon McDonough's reading is warm and, at times, whimsical. I've listened to all five of Jan Karon's Mitford books and have enjoyed each one. None in the series is a let down. I'm ready to pack my bags and move to Mitford, and then on to the White Cap. I particularly recommend A New Song to devotees of the Outer Banks.

Summary: Sweet, but so what?
Review: If a grouchy Unitarian can find something to like in this book, you know it must be good. Sure, it's sweet, but if you eat a balanced diet and get plently of exercise you'll have nothing to fear. The cynics who are appalled at the nice people in this book and the wish the world would be better if we were kinder to one another must be dead to hope.

Summary: Hometown Series
Review: At Home in Mitford is a book about a small North Carolina town. It follows the story of the town's pastor, Father Tim, his troubles and his happy experiences with the people in the town. The stories of the town's people come alive as the book progreses. With a Buick size dog, a red headed boy, and a blonde haired nieghbor, Father Tim keeps the town and it's population in working order.

Summary: Delightful, Spritually Fulfilling
Review: What a great! I enjoyed the book, the simplicity, the writing, the development of the characters. At the end loose ends were tied up, but I was so glad to have the next book in the series! I'd hate having to wait a year. I read the second one immediately after finishing the first.

Summary: absolutely wonderful
Review: I have enjoyed this book and Ms Karon's other books very much. I find myself laughing out loud at the happenings of Dooley and Uncle Billy. I would love to live in Mitford if there could ever be such a place.

Summary: Enjoyable and quick
Review: I don't normally read novels because I have a very short attention span. I normally stick to magazines. Unless a novel gets me in the first chapeter I don't finish it. This one caught me right off.My mother suggested I read it when I was home for Christmas. I found it easy to supplant people I know into the role of the characters. I felt like the plot moved pretty quick. I couldn't put it down. It was a little sweet but in a refreshing way. I can see where it would bore some people but personally I enjoyed it. I would recommend it but not to those who usually enjoy suspense or thrillers it is a little too slow for that. (referring to paperback)

Summary: My teeth are disolving
Review: If you get down to this review,you just like reading reviews, but as I went down through the reviews I found a trend: Those that listened to the audiobook didn't like it. I listened to the audiobook and I didn't like it either. It's abridged and read by the author. I usually like that arrangement, because I feel the author won't read it if it's too badly abridged. This is one of the worst abridgements ever! The story jumps from one situation to a completely unrelated subject with no transition. This was a book for our book club. I'm glad I'll miss the discussion session for this book because it was AWFUL! The writing is stilted - even people from the Ole South don't talk like that any more, and the story, as you've read above, is pure Mayberry - but this show wouldn't have lasted a season, even if it were the 60s.

Summary: At Home In Mitford
Review: I must admit that I wasn't too excited about Christian reading, but this was a delightful book. Excellent characterizations. I am ready to move to Mitford and open a women's shoe store. (You will need to read the book to understand.) Rusks@Juno.com

Summary: Heartwarming & Delightful
Review: I have read the whole series and thoroughly enjoyed them all. I wish she would continue to write about Mitford. I really hate for it to end. I would love for her to write more about Dooley and what happens in his future and how he handles coming into all of that money Miss Sadie has left him. Keep them coming!
