Deep Dish

By: Mary Kay Andrews

Narrated by: Isabel Keating

“Deep Dish is one delicious read. Mary Kay Andrews has cooked up a tale y’all will savor to the last bite. ” — Paula Deen

Battling TV chefs—a handsome Georgia redneck with a show called ""Vittles"" and a young professional woman with a cheating boyfriend, bad dye job, and overinvolved family—find themselves competing for a coveted weekly time slot on national television in Mary Kay Andrews’s delightful New York Times bestseller Deep Dish.

The incomparable Mary Kay offers heaping portions of humor, heart, and sass that fans of Fannie Flagg, Jennifer Crusie, Adriana Trigiani, Emily Giffin, and the Sweet Potato Queens simply will not be able to resist, as the winner-take-all cooking competition gets intense, especially when love ups the ante.

predictable

It was not authors best, The story was trite and the prose unoriginal. I usually like this author

Easy listening, just a nice story.

What made the experience of listening to Deep Dish the most enjoyable?

The story was easy to get into, moved along fine. Had a good story.

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

I like her voice for all of the characters. She is easy to listen to. I actually looked her up to see what other books she has read.

Another Good MKA Book Served to her readers

MKA "dishes" up another great book. She once again skillfully serves her readers with deep and rich Southern Characters from Georgia. Although I highly recommend the book I think this audio book fell short on several counts. First, Audible needs to STOP with the abridged MKA books. Listeners lose out on the highly crafted details of the typical MKA story line. Next, Isabel Keating is always easy to listen to and adds soul to the characters, but for some reason this audio book was not her best performance. Finally, MKA wrote this book for a third party observation point. Her others books are told from the main characters point of view - I was disappointed with this.

Nevertheless, despite my comments you will enjoy this book. MKA is a great contemporary southern author.

terribly over-acted southern narration

I'm so disappointed to see that I somehow ended up with an abridged MKA book. But it does explain why it's such a less compelling story than the others...it's not the fully written story. Worse yet, this is the most disappointing narration of any of her books. It's excessively southern, almost like caricatures.
I wish I could exchange it for the real version.

My Choice For Worst Narration Ever

This is by far the worst book Mary Kay has written. The story might be better but the narrator takes away any chance of it being at the least entertaining. I am a fan of MKA but this is bad. Not interesting at all.
