“Wonderful. I've bought six copies of this book and met the co-author twice. The only thing better than the book is the story of how it was written.”
“I always think I'm not going to like war books. This one has rich charaters, suspense, moral dilemmas and a solid plot in a compact package. I finished it wondering what happens next.”
“This reminded me of my favorite teacher -- who taught me to love Dickens. Started a little slow, picked up and was a satifying read.”
“I read this on Audbile and was never sure if it was history or fiction. I enjoyed it a lot -- a good mystery, and I learned more about the artist (and who doesn't like Caravaggio -- that man could PAINT). Then googled it and found out ANOTHER Caravaggio was found in 2006.”
“This was a good Audible read. But if I were not a knitter, I'm not sure I'd have picked it up. If you're not a knitter, you might think it's dumb. ”
“Silly, but an entertaining Audible read. Disappointed by the ending”
“I did not love Frank...or this book. Did not much like the style, and had trouble with the question of what was real and what was made up. But it did make me more curious about Frank lloyd Wright.”
“This book is sort of like Glass Castle, but not really. It's an amazing memoir that will make you want to read his next book. The guy can tell a story. (I think that's a southern thing, like corn likker.) And I really think it's a true one.”
“Well written. Also pretty graphic. People call it a coming of age story. Maybe. But not my cup of tea. I just kept wondering about the parents. Did they notice their smart boy was going from girl to boy to girl to boy...?”
“I read this on vacation, and it was perfect for that. Engaging but not total trash. The Gatsby connection is interesting and fun. And of course, at the end I said, "Of course."”
