I enjoyed this book very much. I grew up in the Western New York area and am familiar with many of the places mentioned in the story. I also took a "City of Light" bus tour this summer. It started at Buffalo Seminary (aka Macaulay School) and stopped at places from the book.

I wish I'd read the book before the tour, but after the fact it was still very enjoyable. There is a good story line that connects well-known people from Buffalo. Many have buildings named after them in Buffalo. The book was a good, easy read.

I've read several Coben books, but this is the first in the Myron Bolitar series. As you would expect, this is a fast-paced book with romance, mystery, and suspense that also tugs at your emotions. It deals with a serious theme that pulls you into Myron's personal life. A very good book.

I enjoyed this book very much. Just when you think you have it figured out, Coben throws another curve. He keeps you in suspense throughout the book. Well worth reading.

Designed to help grandmothers understand the "rules" they need to know. These include such pointers as: Be calm. Pick your battles. Listen politely (then do what you want). Remember, you're in competition with the other grandmother!

Cute little book that provides tongue-in-cheek advice for Grandma.

Another great book from Kristin Hannah. I must admit I felt a little lost at the very beginning; couldn't quite get my head around what I was reading. Once I got into it though I've really enjoyed it. It keeps you turning the page wondering what will happen next. It has suspense, is heart warming, and tear jerking; runs the gamut (sp ?) of emotions. I would definitely recommend it.

Relax, This Won't Hurt: Painless Answers to Women's Most Pressing Health Questions
Review Date: 2/24/2009


You have probably seen Dr. Reichman on television. Her book looks at the health issues women face -- and worry about. Her explanations are informative and easy to understand. She is a great resource for women of all ages from adolescence throughout life. Great gift for every mother, daughter, and grandmother. The more knowledgeable you are, the more you can do to help your body and psyche develop and mature for a healthy, happy life.
