well written, I liked the book better than the movie but i'm going to watch the movie again now that I have read the book. No solution to the mystery which adds a high degree of suspense

I vey rarely write a review. This is not an easy book to read. The subject matter exists deep within our culture and experience. It is extra-ordinary well documented and written by Isabel Wilkerson who has done a great job explaining Caste and how it affects our lives. I am honored to have read this book and to learn so much about our prejudices and preconceptions of people that are a big part of our lives and our country. By reading at most 1 or 2 chapters a day I was able to think about her thoughts and conclusions and understand how they affect our lives, friendships and families. It is a book that everyone in America should read.

well I have liked all the c j box books. He tells you so much about the things that I just don't know about Wyoming, Montana, etc and I learned a lot about wind farms in this book. But just because they are informative does not mean they are boring. Joe works so hard to do the right thing and there always people opposed to this.I am trying now to read the whole series.Joe is always putting himself in harms way and then has to figure a way out of it.

This was an unusual Stephen King book and I don't want to give anything away, buts it the first time I ever cried at the ending of one of his books. It is short and easy to read but packs a lot in the pages and what you can imagine behind the scene which is what reading is all about.

My usual reaction to many of Kings books is to sleep with the light on, lol.

I have enjoyed Karin slaughter's books but this one was really, suspenseful and sharp! It was a favorite one so far and anything else I say would be a spoiler!

if you haven't gotten into "the Skeleton Doctor", give him a try. Interesting books, good science, well plotted murder mysteries. Ive been enjoying them!

I have very seldom read anything non-fiction, but I really enjoyed this book and it was well written and I felt it reflected Will's personality well. He didn't try to hide his "flaws" or misjudgments, I felt it was very honest and he revealed some embarrassing moments as well. I was glad I read and I am happy I've always been a fan.
