"I liked this book. I would happily recommend it and I can see myself re-reading it once more (in the distant future, after I've forgotten some of the details and can be surprised again)."

"Interesting book, but I thought the story moved slowly. Because I found the book easy to put down, it took me much longer to finish reading it than I would have liked."

"I really liked this. I thought the story was fast-moving and interesting. I look forward to reading another by this author. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys sifi. I'd put this up next to the first Halo book."

"An imaginative read, but I didn't find it especially easy to get through. The humor was worth the effort though."

"A good read for a jaded Catholic (or even an un-jaded and open-minded one). I don't know how it would ring for someone unfamiliar with Catholicism."

"Very good. I liked the book so much I'm not sure I want to see the movie, since I'm pretty certain they won't be able to catch all the details."

"Not nearly as easy-to-read and fast-paced as The DaVinci Code, but very similar. If you made Langdon into a woman, this might be what you'd get."


The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life: Keep What  You Have and Create What You Deserve

"I thought her anecdotes helped illustrate the points well. Rather wish I'd read this when I was 20 instead of ... well, instead of now."

"About what I expect from Deveraux: an easy read, pretty obvious romance, surmountable obstacles."

"Adequate. I don't think I would have finished this book if I didn't have the audio version. As it was, I'm not convinced it wasn't a waste of time. Lots of potential in the story, but I feel like the author just didn't try hard enough."

"I've tried several books by Gaffney and they all fall far short of this one. The characters are easy to identify with and the story lines weave together to make this an enjoyable story. I've sent several copies to friends and used it for my choice at a book club."

"Fun. Funny. Makes me think of those 80s shows that were part mystery, part comedy. (Think: Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd.)"
