Customer Review: I really enjoyed this book because of the history it presented. The characters were delightful. A very enjoyable read. I had no idea that the channel islands (off England's coast) were so isolated during WW2, nor that the German's had taken it over. There were many surprises and several quirky... more info
Customer Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. I passed mine on to 5 different people who all fell in love with Enzo the Dog in the book. You will laugh and you will cry but one thing is for sure....you will never look at your dog the same way again!!!!

Customer Review: The Washington Post review of this novel was right on point. Wally Lamb is obviously a master storyteller but this novel goes completely overboard. He throws WAY too many issues into what should have been a story about a husband and wife trying to overcome the devestating effects of the Columbine... more info

I have loved Louise Erdrich for years, ever since I found Love Medicine in the 80s. She tells amazing stories about her overlooked people, the Indians of the North Plains. She writes with stunning... more info

Customer Review: I was very disappointed in Home. Very slow and almost boring. I read the reviews prior to purchasing this book and most were favorable. Sorry, but I did not think so. I did finish it but it felt like a struggle!
