"Another great novel from Dale Brown. This author has a knack for making you sit on the edge of your seat."

"Marvelous, readable survey and detailed stories of the politics and the personalities of this world shaking discovery of an Egyptian pharoah's tomb - and intact with the multiple treasures stored along with the mummy remains of the boy-King found within three magnificent surrounds. Thomas Hoving was one of the best things that ever happened to the Metropolitan Museum of Art; along with his genius for public relations was the presentation of many beautiful and exotic artifacts from these tomb rooms to New York and other states for exhibit. His writing takes the reader onsite to England, U.S. of A., and in Egypt's heat, in the hysteria and in the ruthless and gigantic press battles and coverage, as well as figuratively, participant in the tomb's excavation, discoveries and years of preservation thereafter. The tomb and the artifacts are to this day, still at risk from loss and deterioration within the ownership established years ago in the Egyptian government, sad to say. A fascinating rendition of what it is like to win Olympic Gold and then having to preserve the "win". "

"The first time Jim Nagol is left in charge of his infant daughter, tragedy strikes and he and his daughter are both severely burned when he accidentally leaves a stove burner on with no flame. His daughter Anna's burns are so severe, doctors are not at all sure she'll make a recovery.
Now seven month's later Jim's wife, Sharon, has left her husband and is living alone in an apartment two hours away. Sharon cannot forgive Jim for the accident and is struggling to make ends meet by working for Prescott Incorporated as an accountant.
When two of the company's top executive both make unwanted passes at Sharon she knows that if she now reveals that she found some unexplained company expenses during a recent audit her findings would be seen as retaliation. She has no choice but to stay quiet and work on how best to reveal the embezzlement to the proper authorities.
But driving home one night she's forced off the road in a hit-and-run accident and when the police investigate there is more than one suspect including the two company executives and her husband Jim with whom she had an explosive argument with that same day.
Burned alternates from the present and Sharon's troubles and back to the time of the accident and the weeks following it. I like this approach because as soon as the story gets good it skips in time and you're left with a major cliff hanger for the next few chapters when you pick up again but get another cliff hanger with the second story line.
Nevling does a great job of keeping the suspense going and laying out the perfect mystery. My only disappointment with the book is the dialogue between most of the characters. There were more than a few times when I would think to myself, "Who talks like that?" Otherwise the book is a recommended read for all mystery and suspense readers.

"I enjoyed this book of Anita Shreve's the best. The suspense kept me going and wondering how someone lives 2 lives and makes a woman feel like they're his only world. Sad at times, but enjoyable read."

"Another materpiece from the master himself Dale Brown. If you like this author you will totally enjoy this novel. Just another WINNER in a long list of winners from Dale Brown."

"Small town folks living a life they are given not what they would actually want for themselves if they had more choices. Hard working woman is stuck in a marriage of convenience even though she thinks it's love. Making life work no matter what circumstances we are given made me feel for her."

"Wonderful story and another time in life to think about. I like reading stories with foreign authors they describe things differently and the story kept me wanting more."

"Good story and kept my attention. Enjoyed the 3 stories within this book and it was a fast read."

"This book was SO sad. The author's mother was a terrible parent and all through her life she was shuffled from person to person and from place to place. It's a miracle she grew up to be a competent person."

"I liked all three of the stories in this book. It is a light-hearted, thought provoking book which helps you to believe in miracles."

" When I first got this book I read the first two chapters and enjoyed it very much but it didnt grip my heart and being an emotional reader I laid it down for a month and read something else. I just picked it up and again and due to underlining so much of it I cant and wouldnt think of putting it back in system because I want to keep it for all time. This book is so intelligent, elegant even, that I felt my IQ rise 5 points simply by reading it.
First part is about Islam faith and I was shocked to read what they think and feel about America and Israel.But that didnt grab my heart. It was the letters written between David and Carol, one a tried and blue Communist, the other a converted Communist, turned conservative. Then my was gripped into this conversation. The chapters that followed astounding! The section and quotes and statistics in chapter 5 the Radical Holocaust caused me to not put this book down until I finished it. I underlined so much of it I will never be able to put it back into the system so I will do the next best thing, which is, to let others know that this book is a must read. It will define what the true right and left is all about, it adresses the dangers of our society and of socialism and how it will bring, not a new way of life, but a diseased and flawed way of life like reanimated dead flesh with all its horrors and new ones to boot. Read it! You will feel smarter after you do and the greatest thing is you will be!! Good book David. I wrote one too but its not even in your class, its just my story of what they did to me after I spoke out about the murder of a boy by a homosexual man in California. Thank you for your book I wish I could write like you. I have the passion just not the ability. You have a true gift. God bless you. I give this book a 7. "

"This book was short and sweet. I took me less than an hour from cover to cover...
It was entertaining, it made me laugh a few times. I could only picture some of the people (which makes me realize I need to brush up on current events) but the ones I could made reading these messages even better.
I think my favorites were the 3rd one and the last one!"

"I hadn't heard of this book until I came across it while browsing on PBS. It was a pleasant surprise, well-written with a very lovable and memorable main character. It is a very sweet and lovely book and I could immediately think of several friends who would find this book as special as I did. I highly recommend it."

"I'm not much for mysteries & thrillers. Handed to me by a friend who knew I grew up in The City, he wanted to know if the places mentioned in the book were fact or fiction. I started skimming thru the book only to find myself reading it. The names of the streets & districts are real. As I read I found myself walking on the streets & through the neighborhoods, remembering how things were. It's been a while. Hard for me to visualize the things that happened in the book happening int The City by the Bay, but it makes for a good read. I've recommended it to all my friends & relatives who still live in The City & in the Bay Area."

"Angels & Demons is a fast read with a really compelling story and some interesting factual information in it. It's written at a pretty low level, but is fun and interesting nevertheless. This book doesn't disappoint! "

"I liked it in the sense that it was only to the point about what was going on, nothing frilly or fancy thrown in. It keeps you guessing about what is going on with the ghost's throughout the whole thing, would like to have seen more of that part of it, but hey. Outside of that it's not bad, definatly a guy book, with all the funny stuff he says (it's soooo male in thought. lol) but you have to love it anyway..."

"One of the best explorations of the Dreyfus Affair in modern times. If you ever wondered what all the fuss was about the Dreyfus Affair, and why it rocked French society in the 1890's, this is the book to read. "
