I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I think this will be a better movie than book. I think the “surprise” to the story will have more of an impact in the movie theater. The book was all over the place.
What a delightful story!! Dolly the golden doodle is at it again, with new adorable characters to help her along the way. The author continues the series with Dolly as the star, teaching the reader what it means, and looks like, to be kind. Young children will love the rhythmic pattern, as well as the interactive sing along throughout the story. Teachers and parents will also appreciate the age appropriate discussion questions at the end. Kids are going to love Dolly and anxiously await her next adventure.
Those of you who think coincidences are just that, you need to read this book. God and His angels are all around us. I challenge you to read this book, and Rushnell's others, to think otherwise.
Love the Penn Cage novels! Greg Ilse's books are lengthy, but worth it. He loves to go into detail about the settings and character's backgrounds. He always has a character you want to stand up for as well as one you hope gets it in the end.
I read this book ages ago, I think in 2006. I came acroos it today while dusting my parent's bookcase. I give it 5 stars not for the actual writing, but for how the story left me feeling. Immaculee is an inspration, her faith is something to aspire to, and her raw retelling of her experience stayed with me for months.
This book started out so well written, and with what I thought had a good plot line. However, the story ended up jumping around way too much, and didnt stick to the most interesting part.
Book 3 of summer reads! A heartbreaking story, but the way Lisa Genova intertwines the love and resilience of a family during such a tragic disease is inspiring. She made it about life, not death.
I've been waiting for Ng to write another book after reading Everything I Never Told You. In my opinion this book isn't as good, but it is still another great story. Ng is an outstanding, talented writer! In both of her books every character is so well defined, and her stories stay with you long after you are done reading.
All time favorite author and books. His last few of the Cork O'Connor series aren't his best (still good though), but 1-10 are great!
My first horror book, and King novel, that I read when I was 14! I was petrified! I am reading it again before the new movie comes out- just as haunting!
Found a new author to read! Charles Martin writes beautifully and has the reader captivated immediately! His characters are flawed, looking for hope, and finding their way through life! I will read more of Martin!
I love the friendships that the author developed with her characters. Reading Ginny's journal was the best part of the book.
I came across this on BookBub and thought I'd give it a try since it was so cheap. It was a very intriguing story, and so different from the thrillers and mysteries I like to read. I enjoyed “watching” the characters develop and you can help but love and root for the main character. I would have given it a 4, but I didn't like the way the story ended and everything got wrapped up so quickly.
