My husband and I read this together. I read while he does the driving. Definitely intriguing and a book with layers. It kept us guessing up until the end.

Definitely a unique novel based on the real life Russian (actually Ukrainian) sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko. Quite a few names I was unsure how to pronounce but I did the best I could since I read the book aloud to my husband. I think he enjoyed the technical military details, we both learned more about WWII. and we were both guessing as to where some of the storyline was going to âtake' us. I always read the Author's Notes, if there are any. Thes notes were interesting as they helped us understand how fact and fiction was blended together.

I truly liked The Forgotten Garden and had a hard time putting it down. That being said I often found myself looking back over past chapters to link the parts together; I felt like I was reading 3 books within one. Even with that distraction I earnestly read to find out the whole story. It is a long read, but after the first page I was hooked into the mystery of the lives of the characters.

I was very glad I read this book. It is eye-opening and insightful for anyone that has interacted with someone with autism.

I really liked this book I had never read a book by Deborah Smith before and I liked the flow and the subject matter. It is an easy read and has a few twists that kept me wondering how things would turn out.

This is the first book I have read by Donna VanLiere. It takes you to a bygone time and draws you into the lives of the characters and their relationships, especially the main character Ivorie. It is touching and sad with some parts ripping your heart. Overall it is heartwarming and shows how goodness will triumph over evil.

This is the second Robert Ludlum book my husband and I have read together. I read while he drives so I try to find books I think he both he and I will like. This book has suspense and espionage with twists and turns. There are times we think the wording is somewhat far-fetched but that does not bother us too much. I like the fact that I can read aloud and he gets to 'read', too. I am trying to 'wish' for more of Ludlum's books here on PBS since we both like mystery, action and intrigue.

I have read several in this series and like the complexity that is involved as the characters solve the case. The Harbor does not disappoint in that respect; enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. All the books take place in Sweden so, for me, reading it aloud as my husband drives is a little tough with the pronunciation of some of the words. :-)

I saw the movie quite some time ago and had it on my wish list on PBS for quite awhile. I felt so lucky to read this. It makes you laugh and cry and has a powerful message and I recommend it.

Fast paced, unpredictable, scary, sometimes far-fetched. I did enjoy reading it and of course, my husband figured everything out before me.

Nice, feel-good Christmas book with historical references and surprise. Easy Read.

If you like scary and reading things that gets your heart going. This may be for you. I could not put it down and yet I was scared to find out what was going to happen next.

I enjoyed this book, cannot believe people actually do this.

A little bit of mystery, a little bit of drama and a little bit of silly romance gave me another book to enjoy. I did feel that the sentences were a bit choppy; not really sure how to describe that.

This is a book that tugs at your heartstrings. I kept wondering how these 'two stories' would tie together and what a pleasant surprise. As with the other Nicholas Sparks books I have read I was caught up in the lives of the characters and when I had to put the book down I could not wait to pick it back up again.

This thriller combines my art interest and my interest in World War II. The secrets uncovered and the fast pace definitely make this a page turner.

Although the book On Death and Dying by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross was written some time ago and focuses on the way professionals interact with terminal patients it also gives perspectives from the patient's and love-one's view. It does not matter how long ago you lost a loved one; the grief can feel like it began yesterday even though years have passed. This book is an important read for everyone; it is in part clinical, personal, educational and enlightening. It will help you understand the grief process and guide you in your support for someone who is dying.

This is the first Robert Ludlum book I read. I liked the intrigue and suspenseful plot. I too late realized this was book 3 of a series and immediately began searching for the other two.

This is the first book I have read by Barbara Delinsky and it was ok; quite a bit was far-fetched and seemed highly improbable. There were a number of what you might side stories within the book and I continued reading because I wanted to know how all the different twists were going to be resolved. If this book is supposed to be âone of her best' as quoted by the Boston Globe, it makes me wonder about all her other books.
