How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsReading Book 2 (and all) of the Mitford Series is like coming home.
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2020
I'm rating "At Home in Mitford," and "A Light in the Window" five stars although I think they deserve ten stars+ . The Mitford Series through each of it's books is a beautiful story set in a small town. I love everything about this town and novels. It is a clean book. It is about a town with fascinating characters who are like family. "Mitford takes care of it's own" - which is something our country currently could learn to do better. If you are yearning for a relaxing book(s) to read about a town that treats each other like family during the pandemic - this is it. There is plenty of action, romance, etc to keep you entertained. This series has 14 books, and when I read the last word on the last page, I will be heartbroken. I may start all over from the beginning. I know I will read this series several times over. Reading a Mitford book is truly like coming home. I recommend the Mitford Series for people of all ages. My Dad loved this series. That is how I started reading this series. It makes me feel close to my Dad. Then after starting "At Home In Mitford," it became a love affair for life. I can't praise the Mitford Series enough. It is not to be missed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as shown - not correct product

I ordered this audio CD specifically because it was narrated by John McDonough. I opened the package today and played it for the first time and the copy enclosed is narrated by the author, a woman. This is very disappointing - how can the "new" package say that it is read by John McDonough and have it not be. I would appreciate the seller contacting me about this.

Extremely disappointed. After listening to the first book of this series a thousand times, I fell in love with the realism John McDonough gave the characters...which is why I purchased this product. Although not only does the box, but also each individual CD therin are labeled, "Read by John McDonough", they are NOT. Talk about bold misrepresentation.

This item is represented as being read by John McDonough, but is actually read by the author. I'm disappointed as McDonough is my favorite. I may return it.

Several of us read this for our monthly book club selection. Several loved it and the characters; others, like myself, didn't care for this particular type of story. Just not my particular cup of tea...

1.0 out of 5 stars If this is Christianity...
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2008
In the interest of full disclosure, this is the only book in the series I have read. As some escapism fluff this book hits the spot, but as some model of Christianity its falls woefully short. As an example, the Miss Sadie character pays an exorbitant sum for a wedding reception for a secret relative while treating her black maid pretty shabbily. Why would Luella want to sleep on a couch at the foot of Miss Sadie's bed in the worn out mansion? All the characters from lower socio-economic groups seem hollow, but I guess that makes it easier to swallow the social injustice.

I guess the lack of four-letter words and premarital sex makes this a "Christian" book. It certainly isn't the behavior of the characters.
