I listened to this one. The reader was good and I was driving so continuing was easy. Sometimes books that drag when you are reading them come across differently when you listen.
Yes. I’m a Tyler fan. I’ve read everything. I have a few authors that I’ll always read and I throughly enjoy the writing, and just like any friend I don’t expect perfection.
It isn’t my favorite of hers, but I thought it was a good book. I’ve been reading her books since the 70’s & we’ve aged together & now she’s dealing with death & how it affects a family.
I read it in 2015 and really liked it. I haven’t read any of Tyler’s other books so I can’t comment on how it compares. However, I found it to be a really interesting exploration of family and time. I wrote a review back then if you’re interested https://www.fuelledbyfiction.com/2015/02/a-spool-of-blue-thread-by-anne-tyler.html
I did & I didn’t enjoy it as much as her others.
It’s terrible
Someone has nominated this book and really appreciate your honest remarks.
I did not like it overall. There were a couple story lines that were good but the characters were very frustrating!
Just like real people?
@Susan real but awful people ?
What was so awful about them?
I feel the same as @Lori. I have read ever Anne Tyler book and usually love them but i was not a fan of this one.

I read it awhile ago and have to admit that I can’t recall it right now, although I love Anne Tyler.
It’s all about making coffe. That’s all. Coffee every morning. Boring.
I loved it and gave it 5 stars!
I read it, not really impressed.
I liked it.
I love Tyler, but could not finish the book. Terrible
I really liked it.
I thought it was very good. Thought provoking as a mother as life speeds by!
I enjoyed it
i liked it… but i’ve enjoyed all of her books.
I liked it. It won’t be on my “best book ever read” but I liked it.
I couldn’t get into it.
Couldn’t get past the first couple of chapters, hated the characters almost instantly- really wanted to like it because that COVER? lol
I thought it was worth the time — you need to like family saga type stories — also loved the ‘attitude’ toward social workers.
Didn’t care for it myself. A bit too rambling for me
Not her best.
Meh.
Loverd it.
Not one of my fave Anne Tyler books, but still liked it!
I liked it very much. I like all her books.
Yes, I loved it but then I love anything by her.

It is a great family story, like everything she’s ever written. It gets increasingly better. One of the best books I read last year.
i do have it on my list

It was just… ok
I read it in October of 2016 and gave it 4 stars on Goodreads, but I sure don’t remember it.
I liked it.
I like Anne Tyler, but this wasn’t one of her best.

Did not like it at all, and I’m generally a big fan.
