I enjoyed this book so much that I bought a copy for my daughter-in-law who is an elementary school teacher. This is just such a nice story about a small town where everyone knows everyone and they all come together to be there for one another despite their individual differences. This is a nice summer read and it will make you feel good.

Interesting historical figure -a bit too romance novel for me but well written

Powerful, emotional and shocking

King is my all-time favorite author and the only reason I gave this book 4 rather than 5 stars is that it’s a bit dark, even for King and I had some trouble getting through parts of it. And unlike much of King’s other work, which is really about human nature and how people will react in certain situations, this one is primarily about some really terrible creatures. The books two main characters are Dan Torrence, the young boy, now a man, who survived the story described in “The Shining”, and a young girl named Abra who shares Dan’s ability to “shine”. They come together in this story to battle the evil creatures but they also discover something about themselves and their relationship. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you like a story that may frighten you, then you will enjoy this one.

So here is a perfect example of why I try really hard not to give up on a book once I start it. The beginning is filled with a description of so many odd named people and one line of their back story that I almost put this down for good. But I hung in there and was rewarded. It’s really a touching tale of life in a community in Brooklyn in 1969 and all the trouble and beauty that went with it. It was a time when everyone knew everyone and taking care of one another was everything. There are a couple of just very silly parts, but overall the writing is beautiful and inspired. Hang in there; it’s worth it!

Hard book to read , sad story of an alcoholic mother but so well written that I really enjoyed it . The main character is so likable and sweet that you can’t help cheering for him and hoping things turn out right for him .

While I have enjoyed Cornwell's books very much in the past, this one is WAY too sci-fi for me. It also has a lot of technical detail about tools and equipment, but not a lot of explanation for the activity that is taking place. Very disappointed and I would not read another one from this series.

This book had, at times, the feel of a cozy mystery but had some really bad violent characters as well, making for an interesting mix. In essence, you never know what’s around the next corner, or page in this case. Throw in the curiosity and eccentricity of cats, and you have an interesting story. The story begins with a couple away on vacation and the cat sitter walks in to find a murder. But some people turn out not be who they appear to be as the plot thickens.
