Review:This book tells a quaint tale of life's challenges in Iraq. If you enjoy a very easy read and a nice story with a pleasant ending this is for you.
I enjoyed it's simplicity enough to give it four stars. Read more

Review:Any book that makes me cry while riding on the NYC subway deserves the description of touching.

In a few short pages, the author sets up a story of three women in transition. Family dynamics, career challenges, and geographical choices all play a role. It is well written and satisfying.

The reasons I didn't give it 5 stars are:
- it is too short
- I wanted a little more depth on the women's relationships with their husbands
- I wanted a little more consistency about the ... Read more

Review:Ms Stewart did such an amazing job with all the details and the storyline. I could see the old mohair couch. I want to go find St Dennis and eat the ice cream. This is a great book for anyone who wants to get away in a book. Go to St Dennis! I know I am going to be buying her other books so I can go back.

Ellis/Ellie Chapman had everything she could ever want. She grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. She worked for her father's company and was engaged to be married, she had it all. ... Read more

Review:I have enjoyed this series so very much. There has to be another part of the story to come. Great relationships developed between the main character and her slave family. I hope I had an ancestor with this much grit. Read more

Review:This was a nice romance, just not very complex. It was fairly contrived that Tyler would pine away for 17 years, just hoping that his high school crush, Alexis, would show up one day. When she does show up, a recent widow, it was fairly obvious how it was all going to end happily. Still, I enjoyed the book, even though I prefer a little more depth to a story. Read more

Review:The book The Long Way Home by Andrew Klavan is a continuation of the first book, The Last Thing I Remember, in the Homelanders series. I particularly enjoyed this book because of the action mixed with mystery. The main character, Charlie West, being a fugitive accused of killing his best friend Alex, allows for constant action. In the first book, Charlie wakes up strapped to a chair, not remembering the past year. In this book, he is always either being chased by the police, or trying to fig... Read more

Review:It was really hard to like the main character, I'm from the Pacific Northwest so obviously live in a different world. I just couldn't understand allowing yourself to be controlled like that and all the back and forth was just getting ridiculous. Read more

Review:Another good World War II spy thriller from Follett. This time around, the story centers on a young Danish student's efforts to help England discover how the Germans are able to shoot down so many British bombers.

Thematically, Follett explores the difference between a life (and a society) run according to duty, rules, and order---whether it's a Danish police detective cooperating with the occupying Nazis, or an evangelical minister destroying his son's dreams for one youthful "sin"---an... Read more

Review:Las descripciones ambientales llegan a cansar.los personajes están bien definidos pero hay referencias que reiteradamente se mencionan( color del pelo de Jackson y del nuevo rey ) que no se entiende su introducción Read more

Review:From what I understand from other reviewers, this is a departure from Follett's usual fare. Since this is the only novel of his that I've read, I can't compare it to previous books of his. Follett takes quite a bit of time developing his characters and setting the scene for this story, so it really doesn't get going until about the halfway point. From then on, it's a fast paced and entertaining read. The setting is Scotland at Christmas. A deadly virus is stolen from a research lab. The pr... Read more
