I "found" Mr. Coben quite by accident a few years back, and after reading the first book I've made it a priority to read anything else he has written. I truly love his "voice"....

Another "timeless" author. The way he weaves a story, and then wraps you up in it, may just leave you wanting this story to never end!

I've always thought that you start dying if you stop learning. With that mantra in mind I've always tried to better myself, reading Zig Ziglar, Anthony Robbins, and anything else I can get my hands on. Mr. Mackay offers some fresh and interesting new insights and varying takes on the way to play nice in the business world!

The format of this book takes some getting used to, but once you do you'll love the way it's told! The way Anita Shreve tells this story, by individual first-person accounts, makes it even more interesting than just a blow-by-blow from one persons' perspective! Fantastic!!!

One of the most well-crafted stories I've ever read.....detailed and enticing, this story wraps itself around you and doesn't let you go until the final page. And even then, you'll be wishing for a sequel so that we find out what happens next in their lives!
