My Reviews
The fact that an EMP attack could actually happen in our country is what makes this book scary. It creates many questions. If the threat is real, what is the government doing about this? Why has it not been in the news? Should I prepare for this? How would I react? There is a lot of action in the story, which held my attention. It was a quick read.
I enjoyed reading this book, but the beginning was a little slow. Since it was written in the voice and vocabulary of a young child, some sentences I had to re-read to get the jist of what he was talking about or meant. It was very creative.
This is the only book that I have ever read two times. I loved it both times. The story has history, friendships, and action that covers three generations of families in Savannah, Georgia. It was a fun book to read!
I enjoyed reading this book more than I expected. Knowing that some of the events actually happened, was a sad reminder of how cruel and prejudice the world is. I found it hard to sleep and get it out of my head at times.
This book is very hard to describe. It was not my favorite book to read and most of the group did not really care for it. However, we did have a very good discussion about the book regarding death.
Coming from an abusive childhood and difficult life, Heloise became successful financially, even though not by legal means. Being self-educated, she was smart in many ways, but did not always make the best decisions.
This is a hard book to review, for me anyway. I thought the beginning was boring! Until finally, something exciting happened, and the priest was caught kissing the teenage girl! After that it was better. It was a good story. Even though I did not finish it before we met at book club, I did finish it a few days after our meeting.
Not one of the people in our group liked the book. They thought it was depressing.
This book gave me a new perspective on military families and what they may go through while their loved ones are away and when they return. It was interesting to see how the characters dealt with these difficulties.
This book was a bit depressing. It seemed the main event was teenagers getting high. Nine people in our book club and nobody liked it. We definitely would not read a sequel.
This book was not what I expected. This lady wanted to tell her story about having an affair with a Priest. Most of the book was her describing their intimate details in bed every night. Not my kind of book. I think they were both off their rocker!
Half of our ladies liked the book and half of them did not. I thought it was an enjoyable read. I was anxious to get to the end to see why Gerald changed his identity, and it was not at all what I expected, and was surprising.
All members of our club liked the book. The ending was a surprise.
This was an easy read. I liked the characters. Gave me insight as to how difficult peoples lives can be and so different, even coming from the same family. Even though you start out at the bottom, you can end up on top, especially when you have people that care and love you.
I would rate this book as just OK and most of the ladies felt the same way. It does not grab your interest enough and some of the characters are unrealistic.
This world war two historical novel showed the bravery of women during a perilous time. It was very sad to read what people went through during this time and knowing someone in real life probably experienced this very same thing. Even though it was fiction, it has a believable reality to the story. The end did surprise me. I do think all the ladies in our group enjoyed reading this book.
All of our ladies liked this book. The best part is it kept us guessing till the end. Just when you think you have it figured out, then you find out that you did not.
I thought this was very interesting to learn customs of other countries. I found it very frustrating that there were no consequences for the behavior of the elders of this village. I wanted them to be punished for their crimes. King Peggy showed much control in dealing with them.
I enjoyed this book very much. I love to read books based on true stories. The fact that this really happened to children is horrendous, but the book did have a good ending. I could not wait to get to the end to see if the sisters were reunited.
This book kept my attention. Very good story. Surprise ending.
