This point is so believable. It is right to the point. Robin Cook through an enjoyable novel gives the real deal happening right this moment. Believe this man.
Under The Tuscan Sun: At Home In Italy
by Frances Mayes
 (8/12/2001)
Dana Viglante
This was the best book I have ever read. I traveled through Italy three years ago and did not want to come home. Frances Mayes style of writing made me feel like I was sitting at the table with her. It was a wonderful book and I was disappointed when I finished the last page. I wish that it could have gone on and on. Fortunately, I ran out and bought the sequel - Bella Tuscany. I recommend that you run (not walk) to your nearest bookstore and purchase both books. They will transport you to Italy.
Tripwire

I have read all the four Lee Child books and have particularly enjoyed them all, especially "The Visitor" and "Tripwire". I am addicted to both his character, Jack Reacher, and to the author's style of writing. I can't wait for his next publication!
Tuesdays With Morrie: An Old Man, A Young Man & The Last Great Lesson
by Mitch Albom

I enjoyed this book somewhat. It was very heart- warming and nice. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that is was so repetitive. It conveys a great message. I just didn't enjoy the fact of how , for example, every chapter was named almost the same thing. Other than that, it taught me a lesson I will remember the rest of my life.

I think that Mitch Albom's book, Tuesday with Morrie is the most beautiful book I have read in many years. Its wisdom and compassion will stay with me for the rest of my life. No wonder it has been on the best seller list for over three years. A truly great story of love for one another...teacher and student

I think that I have never read such an inspiring book ever! I had to read it for a book report, and didn't think it would be good, but after reading it I want to read it again and again! It is so insightful and inspiring! I love it a lot!

This is honestly the best book I have ever read. The powerful message that Morrie gives us about living and friendship is truly a gift. Mitch Albom happened to be the messenger who compiled this unforgettable story. I am grateful they found each other again!

For those of you who have not read this book, you are truly really missing out on the best book I've ever read. This is a book everyone can relate to. It's not about some old man dying and he tells his stories to his student. It's about a man named Morrie who sees life differently and perhaps the way more of us need to see it, and better yet- he has the courage to share it with someone.

This book touched me in many ways. I recently found out about it after the death of my father. My dad had ALS just like Morrie. I truly want to thank Oprah for showing TV viewers how awful this disease is and what true friendship really is. This book was a true blessing in my life at that time.

I have a sister with ALS and from the onset of her disease diagnosis over 10 years ago, I prayed for someone to tell the public about the dreaded effects (and blessings) of this disease. It is truly a horrific disease and those that have it and those who know someone with it will have their lives changed forever. The movie (thanks Oprah) comes out Sunday night (Dec 5 '99) and more awareness is certainly needed.
I think what may not be shown is the absolute caring that is needed for these ALS people by the ones that love them. In my case, my mother is truly devoted (almost to the breaking point) of caring for her. Dad also carries the same load but, perhaps, in a somewhat different way. I have surrendered to help them all out and my "living lessons" from this situation are ones that are certainly beyond any dollar amount that one may amass in their lifetime.
For me, this disease and being so close to it only means that for my Sister, Mom, Dad and myself that perhaps we are, truly, "Going Home".
For those that take interest in the book or movie, it portrays only a tiny fraction of what goes on. As my sister says "I am living a nightmare" and at a slow speed - I must add.
Thanks and God Bless, her brother, Kevin
Tuesdays With Morrie: An Old Man, A Young Man & The Last Great Lesson

Unknown Author
I enjoyed this book very much. I recently graduated high school and gave this book to one of my teachers as a gift. The book touched me in many ways. Throughout my high school years I had become close with this one certain teacher, she was my eleventh grade English teacher. She later became a friend who was always willing to give advice, and help me see the other side of situations. I related with Mitch in the closeness he felt to his "teacher". His teacher of academics, but most importantly life. The thing I took out of this book is that life is your teacher, and you are its pupil! I am glad the i had the opportunity to spend time with my fellow pupil in the classroom of life. She will always be apart of my memories, as Morrie will to Mitch.

I was looking forward to this book, but I found it to be a collection of moldy bromides and generally-accepted platitudes inflated to look like something new.
Timeline

I had to make a trip from N.C. to Fl. by car, I got the unabridged cassette of Timeline by Michael Crichton. From the start, I was hooked. The way he uses quantum technology to make the story believable is suplus. I became so
They Are My Children, Too: A Mother's Struggle for Her Sons

Mary
I am in a situation where I am in constant fear of my sons father kidnapping my son. This is a gut wrenching story, I pray that one day it will have a happy ending. I am from Melbourne Australia and would like to personally write to Catherine, if at all possible. There must be some kind of organization that parents can go to who are also in this situation. If anyone is aware of any please let me know.

I read this book during May, 1999. There are many times that as I read the book aloud to family and friends, I felt I was reading my life story. We could change the names and the country to the U.S. and it could be the same story. I would like to be in touch with the author. I have written letters and would like an e-mail address. My husband and I want to become involved in some organization to prevent this from happening to others. Court battles are at hand for us and who knows where that will lead. I too, hope my children, Adam and Barrett, will someday read the book and all the letters I have written to them. I want them to grow up knowing they were loved, very much loved, by their mother and grandparents. This is without a doubt, one of the worst nightmares a parent could find themselves thrown into. My prayers go out to other children and parents in this situation. Blessings to all of you.

I'm not one for writing lengthy paragraphs but I do wish to say that this book found it's way into my life. I live in Melbourne, Australia. If it found it's way to me, I hope it can somehow find it's way through to Alexander & Constantin and maybe one day they will realize the true story of what happened and how their mother fought and continues fighting to have them back in her arms. It was a nice book to read and had me captivated all the way through. I just wish there was a happy ending for Catherine and her boys!

Once again an exciting read from the master. We find Sean at work but this time he plays a bit part. Hannah finally made Superintendent. Ferguson is his usual urbane self. The story is riveting and has a sad ending with the heroin, Lady Helen, dying before her mission is complete. The question in my mind is did Jack Barry actually perish??

I thought the book was excellent and could not put it down! having just read it for the second time I happened to go past an old war time airfield it was quite an eerie feeling I wish someone would make this book into a film

Feel comfortable with The President's Daughter's characters. Mainly based on Blake Johnson, and Ferguson's crew. Lady Helen is the aristocratic 'executioner' in this good follow-up book. Sean is there.. but, not the main character. I also listened to the Brilliance Corp. unabridged version...the reader is NOT Patrick MacNee, which was BAD. hope that any further Jack Higgins Audio versions will have MacNee as a reader! He IS Sean Dillon, for me. Try the book, you won't be disappointed.
The Vampire Armand: The Vampire Chronicles
by Anne Rice
 (8/12/2001)
Cindy
Read IWTV yrs ago, then rediscovered Anne Rice recently with TVA & bought all her vampire chronicles to fill in the gaps & bring me up to the present Armand book. This book explained Armand's character completely (long overdue from the other books). The tragedy of his mortal/immortal lives really touched me, and the love/hate relationship between him & Lestat was interesting to read (they are complete opposites in every way). The character of Armand is Rice's symbol of all who have been abused, who endure their pasts & go on to find love & maybe their faith restored. One of the most sensual & mysterious vampires created by Anne Rice.
