    I'll be reading more from this author. Great mystery. I can usually second guess the plot.....not so here.

    Altho this is biographical fiction, much of it is based in fact. Certainly gives a slant to the times they lived in. This was a book club read. Discussion around the table got pretty heated. Taking a good look at the archetecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and how its influence flavors many aspects of our everyday life is a jaw dropper.

    The intersting thing about reading this book, more than the actual reading of it, was the reaction of others when they saw what I was reading. Most let me know that it was controvercial. My opinion is that one must remember that it IS fiction. Having said that, the book does cause one to think and give one pause. The story is a little loose and sappy for my taste, but just the same........gives you several things to think about.

  • The Deep End of the Ocean (Oprah's Book Club)

    It wasn't until I was well into the book before I realized I'd seen the movie already. Who knows when. Still a good read. Very touching.

    Interesting commentary on life of people with too much time on their hands, but also a good example of the fact that people really don't change once they've let you know who they are inside.

    Got a little tedious towards the end.

  • Easy Gardening: Recipes for Successful Planting (Daily Telegraph)
    • Rated 0 stars

    This is a handy book to guide planting of the yard. The color combinations are very gentle, for the most part, and I think I may need to own this one as a permanent reference.

    I found this engaging and pretty close to at least three different clergy whose churches I have attended. It was spooky how closely Lewis captured the heart of several of them; how most are dealing with demons of their own. It reminded me why I quit attending church a few years ago.

  • The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
    • Rated 4 stars

    Quick enjoyable read. In 1900, a young widow finds her seaside cottage is haunted...and forms a unique relationship with the ghost. I've also seen the 1947 movie with Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison. Both the movie and the book are charming and the movie is pretty true to the book.

  • The Romanov Bride
    • Rated 3 stars

    Set in Revoutionary Russia, this story tells the drama of lesser known historical figures. The story is told alternatly from the prospective of the widowed duchess, Elisavyeta who is sister-in-law to the tsar and a young revolutionary. The extremes of wealth and poverty in the late 1800's early 1900's.

    Interesting intrigue of twists and turns pitting Science against Religion. Fast paced high IQ stuff. Loved it.
