"A very funny, entertaining book - it was easy to care about the characters, and relate to them."

"I've read this book twice, something I rarely do - and this book was equally satisfying both times. Katherine Neville does a great job of immersing the reader into both the 18th century and 20th century plotlines. There are rich characters, wonderful exotic locations, international intrigue and romance...what more could you ask for in a novel? A must-read in my opinion."

"This book has some helpful tips about health, particularly those related to specific conditions (such as diabetes). Overall I found it to have a lot of good information that I could use right away. It's a good book for those ready to make some changes in their lifestyle to get to better health."

"This book started off slowly, and I thought it was odd...but a few chapters in it grabbed my attention and I couldn't put it down. The plot twists and turns were fantastic, and I really cared about the characters. It reminded me of Forrest Gump in a way...a man on a quest."

"I found this book to be both engrossing and emotionally challenging to read. The topic of depression is covered very well here, and I found myself getting drawn into the story right from the beginning. I cared about the characters and felt like they could be people I know. Highly recommended Another good book by Ann Packer is 'The Dive From Clausen's Pier'."

"I found this book very engrossing, and read it in one sitting. The story of women and their relationships both with each other and the men in their lives was both touching and humorous. These are the kinds of friends you want by your side.
Be sure to have tissues handy, you will need them!"

"I gave this book a chance...but about 100 pages in, I gave up. The tone of the book seemed almost whiny, and I couldn't get myself to care much about the characters. This might be OK if there's nothing else around to read...not exactly a resounding endorsement, I know."
