Barrett Kesterlian
As always, Mr. Barry is brilliant. I have already read the book twice. The flow is as smooth as always. His outlook on his age is not mockery but true self assessment. We hope to get there and when I do, I will have the book next to me. Mr. Barry please …more

Cliff of Ft. Myers, Fla.
I am soon to be 62 years old. I have read the New Testament since I was a pre-teen boy. I thought I pretty well knew what I thought about this enigma called Jesus Christ. Wrong! Mr. Cahill has dramatically captured and portrayed His message and …more

This is the most wonderful book I have ever read. It has made me open my soul to God. I now realize that God has been speaking to me all my life, only I was not listening. Before reading this book, I had had ideas or thought on many aspects of the world and …more

I was raised Catholic and from the time I was a child there were so many things about the Catholic church that just rubbed me wrong. Somehow I always felt that if God was such a loving god (which I truly believed Him/Her to be), why would He/She punish us or …more

I have read books 1, 2 and part of 3...I must say that I was very weary of the whole "conversations with God" concept. I didn't know whether to believe in the truth of it all... but after reading these books, I suppose it doesn't matter whether conversation actually …more

I will have to say that you should judge this book by its cover...the cover sucked, and the book sucked even more.

I have just finished Cold Mountain and found it to be one of those rare books that truly draws one into it's world. Frazier does a magnificent job of describing daily life in the Civil War era Southern highlands as well as drawing us into what feels like a friendship …more

I thought Cold Mountain was a good book. I had to read the book as part of my English honors class. Although the ending disappointed the majority of our class, I thought that in a way, it was necessary. The ending amplified Frazier's meaning- that humanity in war is nearly impossible.

Cold Mountain was my book club's selection for this month. And I am certainly happy with the choice. This is the best book I have read for awhile. I just finished it yesterday and have been able to think of little else. The tragedy of Inman and Ada makes my heart …more

If you don't know much about nature and have never ventured beyond your backyard, this book will fulfill your senses of what they have been deprived. You will grab the next chance to trek to the nearest wooded area to explore and share with Inman and the …more

I listened to Cold Mountain as a 'talking book at Christmas on a trip from Canberra (our national capital) to Adelaide and Melbourne, a journey which takes around 21 hours in total. I was so captivated by the eloquence of Frazier's lyrical prose, that the …more

Hello, I finished this book in Arizona, the last place I visited before I returned to Australia. It has wreaked me. I can't read much else, and I keep wondering why this book was so different. The author tells the story, as authors often do, but he lets the …more

This is not a book to be read on a bus or on a subway. This is a work that demands time and attention. It will reward the attentive reader with a richness of imagery and lyrical description that is rare indeed in a modern narrative. This immensely detailed work is …more

Cold Mountain is a very good book. The first part of the book is not very good but as you get the the forth or fifth chapters it starts to get interesting.

"Coast Road" is a deep human story of family life that you can't put down. The author must have lived parts of the tense phases of this delightful story. Thank you, Barbara Delinsky !

I could not put this book down. It is so filled with emotion. It was a pleasure seeing Jack making a stronger connection with his daughters. I felt this story showed a great sense of what family, friends and neighbors are all about. You never know when …more

I have read and enjoyed many Barbara Delinsky books, but Coast Road is by far my favorite. I became so involved in the story and so attached to the characters that I am miserable to have finished it. I want more of these people...more of their story....maybe a sequel book, Barbara?
