It takes awhile to get the real story going, but it gets very interesting. A good look at 'old' Hollywood, and the lies told. Good up to the very end.

While I enjoyed the first half of the book, where Consuelo Vanderbilt is miserable and married to a fairly horrible man, the second half where she is happy, and spending money like it's gong out of style, was just so-so. Seems like every chapter she or her mother are buying another 'cottage' to get away from 'it all'. This woman may have been forced into a loveless marriage, but she was one spoiled girl. I can't recommend this book, if I were to be honest.

Very interesting and well written true story of two ne'er do wells who decide to burn down buildings on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Except for the chapter devoted to Bonnie and Clyde, this book was engrossing. This is a good book to read if you're feeling depressed, and have nowhere to turn, no one has it as bad as these two.

So many characters in this book, so many stories. I love they way they all wind together. Took me awhile to figure out what was what and who was who, but it is truly beautiful when it all comes together. Just like the two previous books, this is a gem.

A 'prequel' to the DaVanci Code- a little over the top, but an interesting read, I read it on the beach. I think a movie is being made based on the book, maybe with Tom Hanks?

Another fascinating book by Mr. Zafon-a great story told by a great story teller.

Parts were enjoyable, quite lovely, even. Then the rest was just plain 'What?". I finished it, so yea for me.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but with the back and forth between 'present day' Wyoming and 1968 Viet Nam, I got confused from time to time. Still a good story.

I almost made it to the end of this book, but then I realized that I didn't care what happened, too depressing to read during self quarantine.

The author tries to be funny, but sometimes tries too hard.

Wow this book has so many layers, where you end up is not where you start out, or where you think you'll end up. Lizzie, raised by her uncle, Father Mike, is taken from him, he dies, she grows up with out him. Years later she is in a horrible accident, and he comes to her in a dream. The ending keeps changing, things are revealed that you never saw coming. A haunting book, to say the least.

Another fun, fascinating and fast Longmire book. I will admit, I picture the actors from the equally great series as read the books. Our hero goes above and beyond to solve crimes, save lives, and bring justice to Wyoming.

Scot Harvath saves the day again, the back story could have used some more 'fleshsing out' but still a good yarn.

Typical John Grisham, full of hard working lawyers, lying lawyers, hard working judges and lying judges.

Not bad for short stories.

Not a bad story, different I'd say. But since it's from the 'Covid/pandemic/quarantine/lockdown' era, the author felt compelled to add that in at the very end. Otherwise a good read.

Another Lt. Eve Dallas story, chasing the bad guys and gals. It's interesting that this is set in the future, one of the characters goes to Hillary Rodham Clinton High School., in NYC, of course. I have read two of these stories now, out of order, and I don't think that matters much.

For the first time in a long time, I actually got a little misty eyed at the end of this book. I liked that the dog is the narrator-he is probably the most likable character in the book. This was a quick read-and even though I cried a little at the end, I enjoyed it.
