Review:I read for entertainment and I found this novel to be very engaging. The references to Andrew Wyeth and Christina's World were appreciated as I read and even more so a week later when I saw the current Blue Man Group show which features Christina's World. I liked learning a little about how art can have an impact on an Alzheimer's patient. Read more

Review:I promised myself that after her last book "The Old Wine Shades", I would never again buy one of Ms. Grimes books until they were available at a bargain price. Did I listen to myself? No! And the result is that I am still frustrated at the continuing change in the characters I loved in the earlier books. Come on. Do the faithful readers of this series really believe that Richard Jury is as sex crazed as Ms. Grimes has written here? Why Ms Grimes? Do you think this will sell more books? May... Read more

Review:Very typical Karen Kingsbury. She nailed it. A very tough topic - adoption, and the idea of having your well loved child taken from you. What all parents fear, dealt with in a thorough, straight forward Godly manner. LOVE Karen Kingsbury. Read more

Review:Amazing second book! The whole plot was intense through ever y chapter and kept me clinging to every word. The imagery is breath taking (as always) and- SPOILERS -Tom' s death nearly ripped up my heart! Long live Tom Imura! <3 Read more

Review:After reading the graphic novel "The Storm in the Barn," a horror story set during the Dust Bowl days in the American Midwest, someone recommended this book to me. It had a similar premise -- a horror story set during the Dust Bowl, this time in Canada -- but I figured it would be different enough to give a new take on the concept. And it certainly is a creative and chilling book, bringing a strong dose of Lovecraft-inspired terror to an unlikely era and place... but the writing style feels a ... Read more

Review:The whole Squeaky Clean series is a favorite of mine and Dust and Obey is no different. Can't wait to see what happens next with Gabby and Riley. I love that I can read a mystery/suspense book and have it be clean. Read more

Review:Bought this based upon the rave reviews... But the overpriced Kindle edition completely falls flat. I was psyched to read it to my boy on my iPad, but the pages have too much white space around the images and in the two-page mode the pages are off by one, ruining the surprises and making the transitions messy.

So while this looks like a great book in hard copy, not in any way acceptable on the Kindle/iPad. Read more

Review:Fante was writing in a different literary world. While Charles Bukowski's introduction expresses his own fascination with Fante's exposition of Depression Los Angeles, the novelist fails to present anything but stick-figure characters. (It's clear why Fante was more successful at screenplays than novels: he writes scenes.) I'd always wanted to read Fante. Okay, I've done it. I don't have to read another. Read more

Review:The social elites of the inter-war period in England provide a rich tapestry on which a tragic and sardonic tale is told. Waugh breathes life into characters who are extreme in their vanity, yet tragically susceptible and frail. The result is one of the classic satirical novels of the last century. Readers who enjoy the deliberate and biting style of George Orwell will find Waugh a dear addition to their literary diet. Read more

Review:good book, but wording is large, with lots of space in between paragraphs, some pages dont go to the end of the page, making it a very, very quick read. Not worth the $10, I spent; next time I will get my books used like I normally do. I feel like I been ripped off. Read more
