Review 1: Me Before You A Novel audiobook by Pamela Harvey
A Journey Into the Unknown
This book starts with a simple bad luck story – in a very class-conscious country a “lower class” woman loses her menial restaurant job, which has helped support her family, and takes on a position as an “emotional” caregiver for a quadriplegic. His family has substantial economic resources and spares nothing in providing care for their impaired son; the protagonist, Louisa, is hired on, not as a medical care provider, but as a sort of lifestyle assistant, to improve the man’s quality of life. This works until she learns that she is to be his babysitter to stop his suicide attempts – of which there has been at least one. She dislikes this premise when she learns of it but continues on to fulfill her contract, and Will’s mood, appearance, and enjoyment of life gradually improve. She takes him on outings, to concerts, buys voice recognition software for his computer so that he can be part of the disabled community and form friendships, thus expanding the scope of his life.
At first I thought this would be predictably about how the able-bodied/impaired learn to relate, like each other and then fall in love. In this story, they do form a bond, of sorts, eventually, but it’s not enough for Will to want to continue his life.
The story then moves on to considerations of assisted suicide, and asks the tough questions about quality of life and what level of quality is worth preserving. I won’t spoil but the resolution of the story is handled with dignity and grace. Along the way, added to the mix are the emotional forces of those around Louisa and Will who have their own opinions and agendas.
Though well-written and full of laugh-out-loud moments, the book is not a front-runner on the audible home page, and I just happened to find it while browsing the “back room”. The book truly deserves the 5 stars I’ve given it.
I would recommend a different title and cover design – both mislead the audible shopper towards the romantic and chick-fic genre and the story is so much more nuanced and complex. (Note: I am not disparaging chick-fic, and think it’s a valid genre for entertainment purposes. But there are so many other reasons to read – learning how others live and handle life’s challenges, appreciation of beautiful writing, virtual tourism and escape to other environments, handling conflict resolution, the list can go on.)
This is a terrific read, unconventional and unpredictable, and illustrative of larger questions than life in the present moment.
Review 2: Me Before You A Novel audiobook by Bonny
Will & Louisa – each has what the other one needs
Neither the cover nor the title of Me Before You give any real hint of the story within, but I was very pleasantly surprised by what a simply great story it is. Jojo Moyes tells the story of Will Traynor, wheelchair-bound quadriplegic, and Louisa Clark, his hired care assistant, two polar opposites who would not have met under ordinary circumstances. Will is a successful financier from an upper-class family, a man who lived a “large life”, but after the accident that made him a quadriplegic, his chilly magistrate mother hires Louisa to help care for Will. Louisa is an average, unintellectual girl, part of a close-knit, working class family that desperately needs the income from her job. She initially thinks she is in far over her head, but the family’s financial situation leaves Louisa no choice. After some false starts, Will and Lou forge an interesting relationship, one where they both seem to get something that they very much need.
I won’t recount any more plot details because this is the point where the book really starts to get interesting. The premise of Me Before You sounded very interesting to me, but I initially resisted reading it because I was afraid it would be a chick-lit romance (not my favorite). Me Before You is so much more and well worth reading.
Review 3: Me Before You A Novel audiobook by Matthew Family
I bought this as part of the first in the series sale. It obviously was popular. I’m not a movie watcher, so I didn’t realize it was a screen play too.
My low ratings are not due to the author but the fact, I loathed the ending of this book. My motive for listening to books is to bring a little enjoyment or knowledge into my life. I am all about happy endings, be it the romance flourishes OR the criminal is caught! I thought this was supposed to be a sweet romance, and I got very caught up and attached to the characters, BUT the ending left my heart aching. I cried & cried, which I know some readers may like. I do NOT. I wish I would of researched the book a little more prior to spending my time listening to it.
