Review:I love this author and always enjoy her stories. This one is a bit predictable at times, but also very enjoyable. While it would qualify as chicklit or women's lit, it is a philosophy that we all need to visit now and then. Women, their lives, their families, their loves and their sadness....it is all here and done very well. It is a story about real life issues, but also about resolution, determination and compromise. No one ever has it all and what we do have should be evaluated and appre... Read more

Review:A relative gave me the hardback of this book along with the movie for my birthday, knowing what an avid Austen fan I am since getting my English degree but not having read it herself. While certainly a quick read...finished it on a 3 hour flight...I found finishing it a labor of love to please my relative. While some of the individual stories are humorous, quite frankly this "book club" could have been discussing any number of authors' works. This is rather ironic, because most of them were supp...

Review:While not a true Kingsolver fan, I am rapidly becomming one! After reading Poisonwood Bible and enjoying it, I read this and absolutely loved it. What I didn't know about ecology, coyotes and moths could fill volumes. I really enjoyed the characters and their interwoven stories and learned so much about the delicate balance of nature. I would recommend this book to anyone without hesitation. It was absolutely wonderful. Read more

Review:I rarely read novels and less short stories, so I did not know what to expect. I have not finished reading this book and may not. Please don't misunderstand me, Hemmingway is a world famous writer and that is not by chance or sheer luck. He was skillful and dedicated to his craft. Who am I to criticize. I still appreciate his incredible work to produce this book. I still want to read The Old Man and the Sea, since it is one of his most famous works. Read more

Review:Ararat is a horror, mystery, monster-ish book. It's not what I thought it would be, but that is not a bad thing. It was well written and even though I really didn't like the overall plot it was written engaging enough to keep me wanting to read it and finding out what happens. It wasn't bad just not my usual cup of tea. Don't get me wrong I love creepy, scary, paranormal, and horror stories but demonic possession stories don't really do it for me. I was expecting something a little more monstrou... Read more

Review:I recommend this series to everyone who likes their horror & comedy in equally shocking proportions. You know the book is great when you can't stop reading while simultaneously not wanting the story to end. These books gave me a glimpse into a world that I will return to as often as possible. Dave & John are the anti-heroes of a generation. To the author I say bravo sir, job well done. Read more

Review:Nothing like the tv show series but perfectly wonderful to read in itself. A nice insight to know more about Dirk's past and just a fun little story. Douglas Adams truly is a wonderful writer. I mean within the first chapter, he just use beautiful descriptive language. Ahhhh, loved it so much. Read more

Review:This timeless masterpiece seems to get better every time I read it. Baldwin has a way of snatching your attention and engaging each of your emotions in this hair raising, groundbreaking, raw, macabre love story. Giovanni's. Room shall always remain a personal favorite! Read more

Review:The story of Bigger is especially relevant as the nation again discusses issues of race after the trial of George Zimmerman for the death of Trayvon Martin. It is easy to see how racism and marginalization of young Black men leads to powerlessness and rage, and rage leads to actions that exacerbate racist fear, and that fear leads to more racism.
