5/31/2023 0 Comments The Cows by Dawn O'PorterStella’s story in particular, while it achieved the point of showing how far people will go to make their dream come true, seemed so ridiculous that I almost lost interest. Some of the events that happened just seemed so unlikely that it was fairly obvious they were simply there to move to story along. On this rare occasion though, I think listening to the book enhanced its appeal. Although I listen to and enjoy audiobooks, I generally prefer printed books. Without giving away any spoilers, I thought the story was entertaining enough and as mentioned, extremely well narrated. Each in her own way, refuses to follow the herd and this has consequences for all of them. The story centres around three women – Tara, a tv executive who makes a silly mistake one night and it threatens to ruin her life Cam, a well known blogger who has a hugely successful career, but her mother and sisters despair of her life choices and Stella, a young woman mourning the death of her sister, who is driven to desperate lengths to get what she wants out of life. It’s a mixed bag of a book for me – definitely held my attention throughout, but when looked at in retrospect a lot of the things that happened were verging on ludicrous. I listened to the audiobook of The Cows, expertly narrated by the author herself, Dawn O’Porter, plus Karen Cass and Laura Kirman.
