Review:Absolutely loved the continued saga of the Brendan Chronicles ! Took me far to way I expected to the plight of the Navajos & the horrific disregard for there culture . Made me so ashamed yet proud of the few that cared enough to recognize the injustice. Hoping CARRIE finds love again in the next book,however she needed to heal. I love all 10 books of this historical packed brought to life in a personal way ... Read more

Review:A very interesting and poignant memory of the darkest days in history. As many of these kinds of books that i read, ech one is quite different yet so similar. The seller provided in record time, in excellent condition. Read more

Review:Excellent character development. So good to look inside the lives of people that life has not always been good and to see survival techniques developed and the beauty and ugliness existing side by side. Read more

Review:Of my growing list of Hornblower-books-read I found this to be most helpful in seeing how the gallant Hornblower found his way into the British Navy (he was apparently gang-pressed, but as a midshipman). This book is pretty much a compendium of short stories that light the way by which we know this wonderful character. We see him when he comes aboard and promptly gets seasick, but then how he rises to many occasions of dealing with the seas or his enemies. Forester is a wonderful writer and t... Read more

Review:I am reading the Hornblower series for the third time, and loving it! Strangely, two of the volumes are not available on Kindle. I read the series as a boy and love to go back to it. I just found out that CS Forrester lived in Berkeley and is buried in Orange County California. Read more

Review:Jody Hedlund is another author who moves you to the finish line because each word, and action leads you to the next and you don't want to put it down. This book will take you from heartache to heartache, and a small, tiny piece of hope mixed in. There was violence brought through natural disasters, but she leads you through those periods by showing love and compassion between certain characters. You will enjoy with laughter, and cry with concern., yet be amazed that miracles still happen. Grea... Read more

Review:Somewhat slow paced, readers of the series will still find this book very interesting. It just seemed a necessary task to set up what is to come. I personally enjoyed it for I find the 'daily life' of people very interesting during these periods of great historical significance. Read more

Review:Loved the storyline, the characters, and the setting in this book. Can you imagine your believed to be dead husband showing up during your engagement dinner? I really liked the part of the story about Tyson being a changed man and proving it to her. It would be so easy to fall in love with a man like him. However, he is running for Senate and is in need of a wife by his side...hmmm... makes you wonder if he has really changed?

This is a cute story with such likeable characters. Hatcher is... Read more

Review:I haven't read this author's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, [book:The Sympathizer|23168277], so I was glad to have the opportunity to read this short volume of stories to get a feel for his writing and now I will for sure read it. The author immediately with captivating writing invites you to meet not just the characters in the present, but we learn about their pasts as well . We meet the ghosts, their families, the culture, the country of of their birth - Vietnam , and inevitably the undercurre... Read more

Review:This was a fantastic book and reading experience! This is by far the most beautiful and, at nearly 700 pages, the least portable book I have read this year! The blue and gold cover, gold edged pages, and drawings throughout made for a visually pleasing experience alongside some awesome story telling. This is technically YA, but it definitely hits on some tough topics! The first half is a story entirely in pictures and the second half, a connected story in words, with some pictures thrown in. I h... Read more
