Fascinating storyline . Interesting characters . Satisfying ending . A worthwhile read

Reading this for my Georgette Heyer Book club - actually a re-read of this which I first ready many years ago. We started chronologically with the Black Moth but immediately went sideways into the books which reworked and referenced plot and character from the Black Moth. Still love Heyer's meticulous research and writing, but at least of her tropes in this and the prequel, These Old Shades, are disturbing, even based as they are on the use of the historically accurate assumptions and mores of the times.

If Jodi Picoult wrote it, I read it. Unfortunately, this was just a meh story. I did enjoy her descriptions of Egypt and the characters experience there, but the main story was a bit lacking and a tad unbelievable.

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 .

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.

Despite the horrors depicted in the book it gave me hope. Love always wins over hate. Easy read. Highly recommend

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.

So entertaining!

Now here is a genre that I would not normally read, but I have read two of her books recently and enjoyed both very much. And what book could be better for a bibliophile than his one that takes place in a library? The story bounces back and forth between two time frames and gives you a look challenges faced by a family who used to live in and care for the NY public library and the current challenges faced by the library’s special collection curators. I learn so much by reading her books.

This book kept me guessing at every turn I really enjoyed the way the other spoke in multiple points of view! Will try more of sagers books!
