We don't always appreciate what we have/who we are

If you could sum up Death by Roses in three words, what would they be?

A Second Chance...sort of

What did you like best about this story?

I actually watched an interview with author Vivian Probst. I feel like it kind of prepared me with some needed emotional background

What does Teri Schnaubelt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I must admit. I'm a Teri Schnaubelt fan. I really liked her depiction of Mary Rose and Marilee. Perfect b*tches! I wanted to throttle them in the beginning of the story. There were so many female and male characters. While Ms. Schnaubelt doesn't necessarily give each character his/her own voice, she does convey the various attitudes. It works. Ms. Schnaubelt is a fun storyteller.

If you could take any character from Death by Roses out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Art, sr...he's just so...real

Winner

I loved everything about this book. It made me laugh and it made me cry. I usually read completely different types of books and wasn't sure about this but I am so glad that I had the opportunity to listen to it. The performance is exceptional, writing is fantastic and story left me hopeful.

Book review

I didn't finish the book. Had a hard time keeping my interest. The narrator was good.

Excellent

For some reason I was especially touched by this book. As usual Teri Schnaubell turns in a fantastic performance and the plot was fun.

Author has a unique wit.

What did you like best about Death by Roses? What did you like least?

I liked the authors wit. It is quite hilarious. The story line is somewhat confusing until you realize that the 2 storylines will come together.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Ended as it should have.

What does Teri Schnaubelt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Teri Schnaubelt brings so much. She puts so much into each character. If you were reading it you would not have the great performance that she gives.

Do you think Death by Roses needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, I do not think it should have a follow-up book. Because where can you go from here.
