Another enjoyable epic from Ken Follett. I didn't like it as much as "Pillars of the Earth," but still found it very enjoyable. Several stories are interwoven, reminding my of other books including "How Green Was My Valley." Interesting readying about several families around the time of WWI, with sexual content that may be unsuitable for younger readers.
I generally love Lisa Jewell's books but for some reason I found this one didn't keep me as interested as the rest of her books have in the past. I found it a little slow in pace and not quite as entertaining as the rest of her brilliant books. Would still read anything Lisa brings out though, she's a fabulous author.
This was so shocking. And good. And it had a good ending which makes it a really good read. Want to read more by her!
Another awesome must read from Andy Andrews! How different our lives would be if only we would take time to gain a little perspective by noticing those around us and the circumstances we're in.
I really loved this book. I started it on a vacation and despite a return to my work routine: picking it up, putting it down, I felt completely enmeshed in her character's lives. She kept all of her numerous threads going, twisting here and there and despite that, I had no difficulty remembering about people and horses, their nuances and quirky natures. She really created all of her characters magically and I loved how the horses were as alive as the people, maybe even more so. She remarks in the beginning that it is a "comic epic poem in prose" which I wondered about but it was an amazing writer's feat. I really don't even know what to say other than I have not enjoyed reading a book so much recently. Yes, there have been other very good books, but leavened with sadness. This is uplifting in a way that bad things do happen, but she has no violence to her beloved characters, just because she can. And it is a fictionalized world, yet she is painting a picture and not proving something. I suppose that does not explain, but it was not as if she wanted a redemptive read, but rather to populate a world with characters- equinine, canine, human and she really did it just so well. I am passing this on to as many friends as i can as it is such a delight to read. I feel I have not really explained my reaction to it well, but see for yourself.
