Review:I thoroughly enjoyed this book,much more than his last. It was a very fast read and I hated to see it end. Just wish they would do more mini series before the actors are to old or gone. I am hungry for another trip down Barbary Lane. Read more

Review:I got used to the lack of quotation marks.... but why all the unnecessary commas and sentence fragments? Were they on purpose or doesn't she know how to punctuate? If is she doesn't, why didn't the editors correct it all? I was hoping after reading all these reviews that there was probably some hidden meaning that I didn't get..,.. evidently not. Strange book.

Review:Liked this book alot...but waited for more fearful things to happen...toward the end it picked up though...I felt it left us with some questions to be answered...but all in all I did like how it was wrapped up at the end...I do recomend as an interesting read. Read more

Review:Wow!!!! Though I was given an advanced copy of this book for honest review, I must say this may be one of my favorites by this author. It is a fast read and will keep your attention throughout the entire book. I really enjoyed the characters developed. Though BDSM is no longer a hidden topic in society, as a reader I like how Penny Wylder dug into the emotions and trust that take place into relationships that may be established on this. I would love to read about the Lily and Mark relationship, ... Read more

Review:Very interesting read . I hate when u cam predict what's going to happen next or what the character is going to say and this was the opposite ... I fell in love with the characters and felt like I knew them . " can I get a king brother?" Read more

Review:"He looked dangerous. He reminded me of a bad habit. He was something I knew I shouldn't want, but I felt myself gravitating toward him regardless."

I've had this book on my TBR list for awhile...(the never ending to be read list), but I just hadn't picked it up yet. And it wasn't that I didn't want to, just review books kept getting in the way. I finally just threw caution to the wild and picked it up. And boy was I glad. I mean I DEVOURED this book. I started it at 11pm and finished it... Read more

Review:Faulkner's near perfect tragi-comedy of a poor family trying to get their dead mother's corpse to her preferred final resting place, with fire and flood intervening. Family members and friends tell their own version of the story, each in a combination of his/her own voice laced with Biblical Faulnerisms never uttered by man or beast. This is a tour de force, short enough to finish reading in a weekend, and guaranteed to stay with you for years.The Vintage edition is excellent. Read more

Review:The best piece of literature ever written so I was told by an O so educated man. I went for the audio book to help me get through it. I do appreciate the art but as many I needed a little help with the rolling on of the story. Read more

Review:What an unpretentious little book, and who would have dreamed it would be so full of first-rate short stories? Mr. O’Connor wrote from the 1930’s to the 1960’s, and may be one of the finest writers Ireland has produced, which is saying a great deal. Thank you and thank you again to Open Road Media and Net Galley for the ARC. It’s been a real joy to read!

O’Connor’s early life was marked by alcoholism and domestic violence, and he tosses these into the stewpot of his stories that is so ... Read more

Review:McGahern writes beautifully, and he obviously has a keen eye - his portraits of the various Irish men and women who populate these stories are well-drawn, and he evokes not only the speech but the total experience of the Irish very well. If only these stories weren't - at least for the most part - so bleak, I could personally enjoy them much more. There's humor to be found within this volume, for sure - but for the most part I found hopelessness and resignation and emptiness and pathos. Far t... Read more
