    Loved this book! From the first page I was along for the ride, and enjoyed every minute. Very well written, interesting plot and characters.

    I loved this book! Wesley is amazing and Ms. O'Brien tells the story of his life very well.

    • Rated 5 stars

    This is just the coolest book of stories about some reprehensible human beings. Which we totally care about.

    I couldn't write this book. Neither could you. Fortunately for us, Mr. Pollock could and did.

    This is a keeper.

  • Final Salute: A Story of Unfinished Lives
    • Rated 5 stars

    You need to read this book. Even if you (like me!) "support the troops," you have no idea. This book is about how the military cares for its own, its fallen. There is pain, empathy, nobility, heroism here. If you can read this book without crying, you're a robot. Read this book. You will be forever changed.

  • Another Man's Moccasins: A Walt Longmire Mystery
    • Rated 5 stars

    Maybe the best Craig Johnson book yet. I worry about a character recounting his Vietnam experience but in this case it makes sense and reveals more about Walt's character. If you're new to the series, start with the first one (Cold Dish). You won't be sorry.

  • Dear American Airlines: A Novel
    1 of 1 members found this review helpful.
    • Rated 4 stars

    The whole book is a letter to American Airlines demanding a refund for a horrible stranding at O'Hare. But of course it's much more than that. Wow, if only the rest of us could write wonderful books while in airline hell!

  • Cost: A Novel
    • Rated 4 stars

    As always, Ms. Robinson's writing is amazing. This is a small family story that expands to include all of us. Wonderful, heartbreaking characters. This will stay with you for a long time.

  • How Perfect Is That
    • Rated 5 stars

    A very funny book! No one in Austin, from the homeless to high society, is safe here. Great characters, all around.

  • The Legend of Colton H. Bryant
    • Rated 4 stars

    I'm a fan of Ms. Fuller. This is a beautifully-written story about a rural guy's life. Except it contains bigger stories about the West, and the world we live in now. Very well done.

  • Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's
    • Rated 3 stars

    If you want to know about Aspberger's Syndrome, or some gossip about his brother "Augusten Burroughs," this is the book for you. For the rest of us, it's a heartfelt, well-written book about what it is to be him.
