This book fascinated me for a while and then I lost interest. It just seemed to drag on and I didn't finish it.

This book is fantastic. Especially if you are thinking about a career change but even if you are happy in your work you will like this book. Maureen Anderson has an easy style of writing.

Excellent series of stories that need not be read all together but are fun to have a continuation in them.

This book was engrossing and surprising. I had to read the ending a couple of times just to make sure I understood what I was reading, not because it was hard but because it was such a surprise. Really great read!

A fun, easy read. The characters are different yet you hope for them and want them to triumph.
It was surprising a few times but that made it more interesting and harder to put down.

First of all, this picture is the back cover, and I don't know how to get the front cover to appear.

The book was very informative before our trip to Ireland. It has more information than is needed but was interesting to read all the details. After our trip, it was even more fun to look at and read about the places we had visited.

I really started out liking this book but as it went on I found Olive to be a depressing character that I just couldn't find any endearing qualities about. It was a different kind of book and I'm sure many people will enjoy it more than I did.

This was typical Danielle Steel. I really liked the characters and how different they were even though they were sisters. It's engrossing and you want o find out how it turns out.

This book is funny and inspiring in many ways. What a way to look at death. We might as well have a sense of humor about it, since it will happen to all of us. Very easy read, only took me 2 days to get through it.
