Thank-you!
Good Eggs was a mixed read for me. On the positive, I loved that audiobook was set up with three narrators to tell the story as told through the three different viewpoints in the book. Their Irish accents and narration were excellent. It was a great audiobook experience. I also really loved the character of Millie. She cracked me up and was a fun character. I wanted the story just to be about her! On the negative side, I really didn’t like the character of Kevin. He complains about his wife not spending time with him when she is working hard to support their family while he is out of a job. Instead of working harder to find a new job and alleviate her workload, he instead decides to try to embark on an affair. I was not pleased and could not sympathize with him at all. It really brought the book down for me. The book was advertised as being very funny. I did like the humor, but it wasn’t laugh out loud funny and had a lot of down moments in it.
Overall, Good Eggs
is an interesting book about a multi-generational Irish family. The audiobook experience is excellent, but the
story was so-so for me.
