I loved him in The Good Wife.

The beginning of this book has grabbed me firmly by the heart and pulled me fully in to the story.

Three hours in and I'm loving the descriptions and humor.

Two things you're going to want to do while reading this book is to eat and not eat. Whichever one you do, you'll come away with a better understanding of what it's like to struggle with life long weight and food issues.

It's a little self indulgent to complain about your life while living in a vacation home on the Cape for a whole year.

I started listening to this book this morning. The topic is difficult but necessary. It's unfortunate that the author chose to narrate it herself. Her rythym is off and she speaks far too slowly, making the listening duration much longer than it needs to be. Still, the information she shares is important, so I'll stick with her to the end. Pun definitely not intended.

I have never procrastinated reading the ending of a book until this one. I don't want my heart to break, which is where I feel this will lead.

This book will make you want to do one or all of three things: 1. Move to Ethiopia to help the children, 2. Adopt one or more of their children, 3. Donate all your money and/or time to fighting AIDS.

This book is loaded with lots of pretty words strung together with similes like a strand of popcorn, each piece pierced by the small hands of children and lovingly wound around a Christmas tree so tall it's upper branches tickle the top most reaches of a cathedral ceiling.

You might want to skip this if vivid descriptions of what happens to your body after death make you squeamish. If not, you will be morbidly fascinated. It's certainly keeping me awake on my drive from PA to MA.

I would have given this a higher rating except for the ending. I see oodles of opportunity for a sequel. There are a lot of strings left untied.

Surely there's a better book about this time in history.

A remarkable true story about a remarkable family during a monstrous time in history.

I love his straightforward way of speaking and his people oriented management approach.

Its a good book. Realistic. Dour. Cold. Mostly realistic. I have a new appreciation for my girls' pediatricians and the fact that they never needed one to stay alive.

This book is educating me in the various reasons the US didn't take action against Germany or even take a stand until much too late, such as its own issues with negro voting laws, lynchings, and anti-Semetic feelings. Worse, the US didn't want to say anything that would cause Germany to default on its loan.

only reason I didn't read more was because the plane landed and I had to turn it off.

Loving it so far.

I start this one tonight.
