Coast Road
Coast Road

Chris M.
I love it when the book I'm reading lets me picture the entire setting, story, etc. Coast Road was wonderful--I passed it along to a friend who also couldn't put it down. When's the movie??

This book was touching, humorous and thoughtful, bringing up many issues on many levels, bypassing the clichés of how men and women act and relate. The characters and the dialogue are so real they almost jump off the page in their human strength and weakness. This book is a winner.

Coast Road came as a wonderful surprise to me. I bought it as a "trash novel" to read at the airport. I finally read it giving birth to our third child (a boy), and discovered a novel where the relationships of husband/wife and parent/children and humanity/God ( …more

I could not put this book down, I was so upset that the book ended, I wanted it to go on and on. It made me think about relationships, life and really what is important in life. A must read !!!!

From Maria Ramirez
I really loved this book. I loved the mystery in discovering "Faith" - so simple and pure yet such a powerful idea which lent much to the story. I am a romantic and was praying for Jack to see what he really had and could lose again if he didn't open his …more

I think this book is a good book to read because you can just skip around in it and you don't have to read it in order. There are a lot of good stories in it about life, Friendship, Love and lots more. I really enjoy reading this book and I recommend it for kids …more

This book is a must read...even if you don't like to read! There are over 100 short stories that will touch your heart in some way or another. I laughed, I cried, I even read them out loud to friends and family. I had a hard time putting it down, and I can't wait until …more
Charming Billy
Charming Billy
by Alice McDermott
 (7/15/2001)
Marilyn Bonano
The premise for this novel seems out of sync initially. We are at a funeral, Billy is gone and can't defend himself from the memories others have of him. Chilling thought for the live reader. But, Billy was loved by many for different reasons. And Maeve, his …more

After all the hype and praise surrounding this novel, when I finally read it myself I found that my feelings resembled those of a deflated balloon. This book has been vastly overrated. It has little coherence or focus and the characters fail to excite your sympathy …more

Little does the unwary reader suspect how their emotions will be squeezed, stirred and hung out to dry as they follow Charlotte Gray into war - torn 1940's France. Sebastian Faulks has again produced a novel of great power and perception, which, coupled with …more

J Rolph
I have read all of the "Prey" series and they are all excellent books. Certain Prey was one that I had difficulty putting down. The climatic ending was such a shock, it really is too bad that Lucas didn't get the killer in this one, maybe that means Clara Rinker will …more

I just finished "Carnal Innocence". I couldn't put it down. It was such a wonderfully written book, with plot twists even I didn't see coming. It was very emotional. Until the very end, I didn't know who had committed any of the murders. Very good read.

Absolutely hilarious and unfortunately so true to life for many of us "Singletons." Would love to see a sequel. Where is this author anyway? Have not been able to find out much about this comical lady who tells it like it is when it comes to the single life. Just …more
