As people said it does start off slow but keep reading this one and you will be talking about it for weeks. I disagree strongly with these negative reviews, this book is a real charmer. pick it up you won't be sorry

When I began to read this book it didn't appeal to me that much but as I read further on I fell in love with it. The love story was amazing and the descriptions of the wolves were extraordinary. I believe the best part of the book was the suspense at the end. Do not …more

Thank you Mr. Evans for stories for the heart. I am very found of your work. I have read both the "Christmas Box Collection" and "The Locket" --- both warranted the use of a box of tissues. I give you a definite "THUMBS UP!!!!". I cannot remember when I have been so …more

Great read! For three straight evenings after work I planted myself on my sofa and cozied up to "The Locket". I love the wholesomeness and honesty he depicts in his stories. I appreciated not having to endure a swear word or unneeded lust scene. Instead, …more
The Law of Similars
The Law of Similars
by Chris Bohjalian
 (8/12/2001)
Linda
I was never convinced that this story was being told from the point of view of a fourteen year old girl. Her vocabulary was so preppy that it made it even more ridiculous to try and believe she was a child of hippy parents. How many fourteen year olds do things "on a …more
The Lion's Game
The Lion's Game
by Nelson DeMille
 (8/12/2001)
MarkVW
DeMille is an old pro, and you'll see why in "The Lion's Game". He brings back smart-alecky John Corey in the first person and despite the occasionally annoying humor, gives the reader a sense of what it's like to be part of a team hunting the most feared terrorist in …more

Chris Keeton
"The Last Full Measure" brilliantly captures the brutality and humanity of the last years of the Civil War. It can be witnessed through the eyes of the key players in America's greatest test the motivation and desire to conclude the war with as much haste as …more

Jeff Shaara creates a successful sequel to his fathers book The Killer Angels. Shaara greater success was the transformation of his father book into the movie Gettysburg. We hope to soon see both the prequel, Gods and Generals, and the sequel The Last Full Measure make …more

The Last Full Measure
by Jeff Shaara
 (8/12/2001)
Dan
This is a great book. While Gods and Generals sometimes had the fault of a lack of detail, this book covers only two years of the war, and is therefore able to express more detail. Grant's character is portrayed excellently, while old friends Chamberlain and Lee are …more

The Hours

 (8/12/2001)
Barb
Of nine book club members, five liked the book, The Hours. To prepare for our discussion, we all viewed the Mrs. Dalloway video. We enjoyed comparing Woolf and Cunningham's stories. One big puzzlement that we found was that we weren't quite sure who Laura Brown was. Two …more

M. Hookey
This book was selected for discussion by the book group to which I belong. It is beautifully and cleverly written. I have to say, however, and I am speaking for myself alone, that the book comes together for me since we read Mrs. Dalloway as last month's selection. …more
The Ground Beneath Her Feet
The Ground Beneath Her Feet
by Salman Rushdie
 (8/12/2001)
Philth Nippert
I'm always impressed whenever a contemporary story blends with overtly mythical dimensions to come up with something new, and that's the kind of story The Ground Beneath Her Feet is. It has other facets too, of course: a love story, a family epic, a story …more

Initially, I read "The Greatest Generation" out of curiosity of World War II history. I was very pleased with how the stories of individual efforts made the experience very real. However, I was even more moved when I read "The Greatest Generation Speaks." The …more

'The Greatest Heap of Rubbish speaks'. Oh--some one spare me from the tortuous old fuddy duddies in this book. No wonder the world is the way it is today with the imperialist weirdoes in this book. For a new enlivening look at Tom Brokaw's great generation …more

Richard A. Siggelkow
Mr. Brokaw accurately reflects, through first hand accounts, how American soldiers reacted to their WW II experiences. I am proud to be a member of the "greatest generation", and served 38 months as a lst Lt. and Captain in England, North Africa, Sicily, …more

The Greatest Generation
by Tom Brokaw

William Taft
Although I read the book about a year and a half ago, and many others have been read since, it still resonates and sticks in my mind. It was the first piece of literature that I read that was based on war, and since my consuming its pages, I have become …more
