A novel of a widow, with no children, moves on with her life, changes and uproots everything. Moves to Oregon, becomes a "big sister" of a "cutter" opens her own bakery and you view her thoughts on everyday life and what she wants to do and accomplish - well worth the read and you become totally engrossed in this book.

Just completed reading this 2015 novel / mystery - a very gripping, interesting and awesome book to read - well worth your time! Yes, this is an entirely possible script and am sure this has been done before - how to vanish in 10 easy lessons, take loads of money and solve many mysteries at the same time.

Just completed The Auschwitz Escape by Joel Rosenberg. Even though book is listed as "fiction" there are many factual dates and information. Book, in fact, was excellent, riveting, well written and kept me up all night reading this 300+ book.

Just completed Brandon Stanton's book of "Humans of New York." Mr. Stanton captured the real essence and personification of humans in New York as there is no "normal." You could apply Portland's "Keep Portland (New York) Weird" to the photographs in this book. Having visited NYC many times, you will never find the same person(s), costumes or timing of each photograph.

Have read all of Pat Conroy's previous books, let me tell you this book outbeats them all!!! Conroy seems to be even more relaxed in his writing, really bringing every topic of the family up front - parents, grandparents, cousins, kids, you name it. Most definitely worth buying and reading.

For anyone that has become unemployed, this book provides a great view of self-esteem, worth and focusing on your ability!!! Do read this as Michael Gill certainly does provide so much information on himself and how he pulled himself up by his bootstraps.

What a fabulous writer,a previous Oregon resident / policeman with an excellent writing finesse. Loved reading this mystery and was always on the edge of my seat - well worth your time to read Alafair Burke

Just finished reading this "memoir" of Penny Marshall, a great read of a family where the kids, Garry, Penny and Ronny stuck together, helped each other throught their lives. Makes you wish you wish you were a part of their lives. A very accurate portrayal of Penny, a wholesome read and I was never let down!!!

Thrilling read, twists and turns on every page. The Expats really kept me guessing up to the last page. Great read!!!

Just completed reading Defending Jacob and am glad to see on the Top 10 Selling list. Excellent read with twists and turns on almost every page, how a family sticks together thru thick and thin, parents trying to do the best they can for their son. A fantastic book looking at the realities of raising a child, trying to understand family dynamics during a troubled time. Well worth purchasing this great book.

Such an enjoyable read - have enjoyed watching Dick Van Dyke for years as an actor, but reading the memoir of Dick Van Dyke was fabulous - a reawl treat - worth every moment. Mr. Van Dyke's story exceeded all my expectations -just trying to please everyone.

Bob Edwards wrote a spectacular book - shows Edward Murrow at his best and striving to be the best (for himself and everyone else)!! After seeing an exhibit of Murrow in NYC - this book - shows how broadcasting was brought to life with dignity by Murrow. Ed was an inspiration for everyone - aspiring reporters / journalists and everyone interested in new.
