Engaging story

It took only about 10 minutes for this book to pull me in! Cormac is the story of a family and their dog, but mostly from the author's point of view. I found I couldn't wait to get back to the book and could have easily listened to it in one shot. The adventure is incredible and shows people's differing views of dogs as animals or parts of a family. A fun read!

authors...hire a narrator

cute story, had i read it. unfortunately-i listened to it. authors, your gift is in the writing. realize this, and hire a narrator. while i enjoyed the story, the droneing voice was too much. if you want to enjoy this tale...get the book.

Publisher's Summary:

"Do you believe it can be done then?" I asked.

"Well, try," he replied.

Diary of a Pilgrimage is a story bubbling with Jerome's wit and whimsy interspersed with intervals of calm reflection.Written in 1891, it is the tale of a journey to see the Passion Play at Oberammergau.Many of his light hearted remarks prove to be acute observations of contemporary life, many of which hold true to this day.This is a wonderful piece of Jerome literature that fully deserves its place in the sun.

A gem of a book

This books is a well crafted balance between whimsy and serious philosophical thought. It might be considered impossible to write a humorous account of what is,to many, a deeply religious experience, but JKJ achieves this with dexterity ? the rendition of the Passsion Play is handled with sincerity and sympathy. His gentle ridicule is reserved for his fellow travellers, the customs of the countries he travels through and above all for his own bewildered behaviour. A gem of a book, slightly wordy in parts, but full of humour.

Publisher's Summary:

When she was 10 years old, Cady and a group of friends, as well as a couple of bullies, were climbing a tree. When the play got rough, Cady and one of the bad guys fell out of the tree. She hit her head, fell into a coma, and underwent years of physical therapy before she recovered. The boy died, and everyone blamed her for his death.

When Cady, who has no memory of the accident, returns to Indigo Valley, she reconnects with her old friends, some of whom witnessed the tragedy but never admitted it. With her eccentric but loving grandmother's support, she attempts to recover her memory of that momentous day, so she can shed all of the guilt and bad feelings that have been crushing her spirit. Along the road to discovery, she gets involved romantically with the town's police chief, who was one of the bullies involved in the tragic incident.

Heartwarming, funny, poignant and romantic, Fern Michaels' new novel is the story of a young woman coming into her own.

Critic Reviews:

"Narrator Michele Pawk realistically depicts Cady's former friends as suspicious and fearful and Boomer, a former love interest, as intriguing. Her portrayal of Cady's childish excitement and fear is gripping as she retraces her steps on that fateful day." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

typical

This is a typical Fern Michael's books. Everything wraps up perfectly at the end and everyone is happy. There were a few good points that made me listen closer. The big secret should have been more pronounced then just in the last 20 pages of the book.

Late Bloomer

I absolutely loved this book!! I had tears of joy at the end! :)

Publisher's Summary:

Jason, an American student, was beaten to death by angry local youths at the height of the apartheid era. Years later, his mother is told that Jason's killers have applied for amnesty. Jason's parents pack their bags and fly from Nantucket to Cape Town. Filled with rage, Jason's mother resolves to fight the murderers' pleas for forgiveness.

As Nadine follows the Irvings to beautiful, ghost-filled South Africa, she is flooded with memories of a time when the pull toward adventure and intrigue left her with a broken heart.

In a country both foreign and familiar, Nadine is forced to face long-buried demons, come to terms with the missing pieces of her own family past, and learn what it means to truly love and to forgive.

Critic Reviews:

"Upon finishing Ward's tantalizingly spare yet precisely powerful novel, readers will want to start all over again, looking for the clues they missed the first time around when Ward, like a cunning magician, so deftly led them astray." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Read this for knowledge not joy.

I must admit it has some very confusing areas where who is the party speaking and where they are is not readily noticeable. I found it a fast read but I read very fast. Although it has twist and turns I don't really think that all of them added to the quality of the book.Some times I just wanted to shake my head and would say to myself, where is she or he or why is this confusion happening at this point. It made some interesting points on South Africa , Apartheid and post Apartheid. It was very realistic in the anger, hate and violence on both sides. I found it a sad book.

Disappointing

I really loved parts of this book...the parts about So Africa, some of the characters. However I felt it to be a little confusing at times and the ending came far too abruptly

Disappointing...

I have been a great fan of Amanda Eyre Ward. I was so thrilled to hear she had a new novel coming out that I pre-ordered it. And when it arrived in the mail yesterday, I put everything else aside to read it.

I finished last night -- and I truly am disappointed with the book. I feel as if Ward manipulated her readers -- I suppose she intended it as a clever writer's device (I won't give it away). But I came away completely confused. Yes, I did as her "Reading Club Guide" suggested, and went back and read through the boy's journal to find "clues". But,

frankly, that really irritated me. Why should I have to re-read a book, just to understand the ending?! It became a cerebral, not visceral, exercise -- and I feel as if I just wasted the better part of a precious day of my life.

I was fully aware of apartheid -- had studied South African history in college, in a course on British Imperialism, and had followed the events in the subsequent years: Winnie Mandela and the "necklaces", and Bishop Tutu's Reconciliation trials. Some readers said that the book was useful in instructing them about S. African history. I didn't even learn that from the book.

In a word: "Disappointing".

Sad to say,I will not be looking forward to Ms.

Title: A Handbook to Luck

Release date: 03-29-07

Publisher: Books on Tape

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

As we follow them across the next 20 years, we see chance draw Leila and Marta into Enrique's life; Leila and Enrique loving and losing each other, with Marta the means to renewed hope for Enrique; and, throughout, "good luck or bad tilting life one way or another" for all of them.

With its cast of vividly drawn characters, its graceful movement through time, and its subtle revelation of the essential hopes and doubts of ordinary people whose lives are made extraordinary by circumstance, A Handbook to Luck is Cristina García's most beautiful, elegiac, and deeply emotional novel yet.

Critic Reviews:

"Garcia's most transfixing and moving novel to date." (Booklist)

"Solid....Garcia...lovingly portrays her characters grappling with misfortune and luck in unfamiliar surroundings." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Human life

A story of 4 or 5 immigants/visitors to the U.S.A. There isn't very much interconnection between the stories, and none of them come to any particular resolution - it's just a series of diverse lives and events. Of moderate interest, but in the end somewhat disappointing.

So Liz is surprised when Wetherby takes her off the case - this is just her sort of operation. However, Wetherby has some very disturbing news.

As her colleagues try to counter an impending terrorist strike, Liz must use all her skills to find out who the mole is, and what their intentions are, before it is too late.

Critic Reviews:

"A cracking good thriller." (Observer)

"Intelligent....Undeniably pacey." (Guardian)

"This is something rare: the spy novel that prizes authenticity over fabrication." (Mail on Sunday)

Members Reviews:

Did not match expectations !

Although there was a promise of an insight into the murkey world of Spooks, I found the plot pedestrian and predictable. No twists or turns, no real surprise in the ending.

Would I recommend it ? Only if there was nothing else to read

Title: A Painted House

Author: John Grisham

Narrator: David Lansbury

Format: Abridged

Length: 5 hrs and 11 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-07-05

Publisher: Random House AudioBooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The hill people and the Mexicans arrived on the same day. It was a Wednesday, early in September 1952. The Cardinals were five games behind the Dodgers with two weeks to go, and the season looked hopeless. The cotton, however, was waist high to my father, almost over my head, and he and my grandfather could be heard before supper whispering words that were seldom heard. It could be a 'good crop'. Thus begins the new novel from John Grisham, a story inspired by his own childhood in rural Arkansas. The narrator is a farm boy named Luke Chandler, age seven, who lives in the cotton fields with his parents and grandparents in a little house that's never been painted. The Chandlers farm eighty acres that they rent, not own, and when the cotton is ready they hire a truckload of Mexicans and a family from the Ozarks to help harvest it. For six weeks they pick cotton, battling the heat, the rain, the fatigue, and sometimes, each other. As the weeks pass Luke sees and hears things no seven year old could possibly be prepared for, and finds himself keeping secrets that not only threaten the crop but will change the lives of the Chandlers forever. A Painted House is a moving story of one boy's journey from innocence to experience.

and love it. A well told tale wrapped in the ...

No the typical John Grisham, there's no courtroom here. It's a return to a different era. Anyone who ever lived on a farm will recognize it, and love it. A well told tale wrapped in the layers of a different time.

simple but imaginative narrative make this a a great story and perfect read for any mood or interest

Sensitively written, Grisham's flowing, simple but imaginative narrative make this a a great story and perfect read for any mood or interest.

Departure from the norm

It was a great departure from the lawyer stories. I also loved Playing for Pizza, another departure but its an excellent story with well rounded character personalities and an interesting storyline.

wrong color paint

The story was okay. Not among my favorites from John Grisham. Had to read it for book club.

Great read

Feel like you are living in the depression era but are making it by plain determination and sweat of the brow. Yet enough twists and turns to hold interest.
