Now here is a book that everyone should read. It makes you really think about life and the perspective from which we view it. The idea is simple, if fanciful; If there were infinite possibilities for the life we could choose, which one would be take? This question is explored in a repetitive fashion but stops just short of being too much so. There are some lines in the book, particularly at the end, that you will take with you after you have finished the book. A particularly good read for anyone feeling down.

I loved this booked! I was always so intimidated to start it but once I started I couldn’t put it down. What a love story!

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.

This book was very well written based on historical facts and accounts. I looked further into this particular story in history and found that this author conducted a lot of research and is said to be the most accurate story regarding Olive and the Oatmans lives and occurrences. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves history.

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.

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.

This is an amazingly beautiful story about loss; loss of a spouse, loss of a parent, loss of a true love. And it is about how people cope with loss and how they sometimes find beauty and purpose in themselves and others. It’s also about getting older and what that can mean. Great book; I highly recommend it.

Let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of biographies for the simple reason that not everything in a person’s life will be interesting,,,or so I thought until I read this book. Just about every minute of this book kept me engaged and wondering what would happen next. And to say that it is about an immigrant from Yemen who is working as a doorman and want to start a business importing coffee from Yemen doesn’t do it justice. It is the amazing story of a young man committed to improving the life of coffee farmers in his home country and of someone who will literally do anything to accomplish that. Excellent read!
