Dairy Queen kept popping up on my list of audiobooks from the library, so I finally decided to go on Goodreads and see what it was all about. I was really surprised when it ended up having a lot of favorable review. The cover does nothing for this book, seriously! I understand the direction they took, but I was not screaming to read it because the cover was so amazing. The audiobook was read by Natalie Moore and was 6 hours, 7 minutes long.

Likes:

The story was original, I had no idea what I was going to get into with the book, but it was a fun, easy ride that kept me listening.

The reader gave the story the Midwest accent. There was quite a few times I was smiling because it did sound like Minnesota / Wisconsin speak. There is definitely a distinct dialect in our area and this book added that right in.

The whole analogy with the cows, just going through the motions and doing what we are told was really interesting. I definitely feel like every day I am “herded” to work, to the grocery store, home, ect, and then go back to do it all over again. The theme of the book was really to stand out and I liked that.

By the time the story came to a close, I really liked the ending and the way the story wrapped up.

Gripes:

It was another one of those good book, but not one that leaves you with a million feelings, stuck in your head for weeks. So really, there are no gripes. It was a good, fun book. It was perfect for my little road trip!
