Alex Hemingway Hemingway ahemingway — Street Corner TBR Reduction Challenge April #2 per Nic. Well, it was heart-warming and bittersweet, but something about the writing style was just a little bit off for me. I think it was the pacing, it was too slow. It's one of those that feels like it's dragging.... don't get me wrong though the story was beautiful, serious and moving. Grace is a high-school student working at a Nursing Home as a candy-striper. She falls in love (not goo-goo eyed, let me have your baby love) with one of the old men living there, Mr. Sands. He's quirky and off-beat. He is adorable. But, he has Lou Greig's disease. There is no cure and he asks Grace to step-in and do him a HUGE favor. We go through her struggle, she doesn't know if she should/could/is going to do it. Honestly it is sad. Watching someone you love and care about deteriorate is not a pleasant thing. She is confused. Not only does she have Mr. Sands' problem to worry about, now things have gotten awkward between her and her best friend Eric. She likes him and wants to be with him, but doesn't want to lose their friendship. It's a little 'nails-on-chalkboard' to read the beginnnings of their romance and even the end as well. They might fit together eventually, but the writing is just, well... awkward. After reading this I can't help but wonder if someone who was not a Christian would like it or not?!? I still am at a loss, I just don't know. It's not preachy or anything, but at the same time God is mentioned throughout as well as prayer. 3.5 stars Quotes: "You can't let what other people say about you affect the way you go about your business, You know why?" "The reason, Mr. sands continues, "is because people get things wrong. All the time. The get things wrong over and over again, and once you've got that figured out, their judgements or what they say about you seems a lot less important." "So you think someone hears us or is listening when we pray?" "He smiles and I can see both the top and bottom rows of his teeth. I've had moments of doubt. Of course I have. I don't know how anyone can live in this world where, let's face it, injustice takes place all the time and not wonder if anyone is paying attention." He shrugs."But what I keep coming back to is the fact that life is so fragile, someone has to be looking out for us. At least in the most basic way. So for me, prayer is not just asking of a favor- like 'please God, let my mother be okay'-but more as a thank you. A thank you for every minutes I've had with her. I;m sure that kind of sounds corny, but it does help me appreciate the good things in my life. So when I say yeah, prayer works, it's because I think that if all I'm doing here is expressing gratitude for her life, that's okay. That's important."

Peggy Lee _ — Charming, but somehow I feel there's a slight disconnect between text and illustrations.

Elena Ciobanu kindswan — This was the first pick bmy bookclub read. For a long time it was the only one that we all loved! A quick read that wikll leave you thinking....

W Park iamdezigner — Despite the criticism of others, a bear finds the perfect gift for his mouse friend. One of those books that gently helps kids learn to listen to themselves and not the criticism of others.

Jonathan Tsui jellythan2589 — A Worthy Legacy by Tomi Akinyanmi has a wonderful message but I was expecting it to include more plot about the main character. Particularly about dealing with her grandfather's death and using his advice to change her life for the better. Instead it has a brief character and scene introduction followed by a lot of advice and thoughts on life. There is nothing wrong with a book that gives guidance but the writing style is so cluttered that I don't feel like I gained as much as I could have.

Katalin Tramontano _raftcraze — Es handelt sich hier um eine Familiengeschichte auf einem Anwesen in Cornwall, die in 3 Zeitebenen spielt: um 1900, 1975/76 und 2005. SIe beschreibt die Suche einer Australierin, sie 1913 als 4-jährige mutterseelenallein auf einem Schiff aus England in Australien eintrifft und stillschweigend von einem Ehepaar adoptiert wird. Nach ihrem Tod führt ihre Enkelin die Suche weiter. Ich bin auf das Buch im Supermarkt gestossen, wo es mich zwar öfter in die Buchecke zieht, aber ich selten etwas finde. Ich bin mal wieder gespalten, was das Buch angeht, es liest sich prima und ist wirklich fesselnd aber die Geschichte bietet wenige, bis gar keine Überraschungen. DIe Wendungen deuten sich schon 50 - 100 Seiten im Vorraus an und man wartet nur noch darauf, dass der Leser es endlich "offiziell" erfährt. Und ich bin eher schusselig und langsam, was zum Beispiel das Mitlösen von Krimis angeht, wenn mir also schon alles so früh klar ist, heisst es was! Dinge, die im großen Stil im Stile einer genialen Schlussfolgerung der Hauptpersonen ans Licht gebracht werden, sind dem Leser ohnehin schon klar. Die Charaktere sind insgesamt sehr flach und stereotyp, was vielleicht der Tatsache geschuldet ist, dass die 3 Zeitebenen schon etwas Mitdenken erfordern, und die Autorin es dem Leser etwas einfacher machen wollte. Und trotzdem: Ein toller Schmöker, in dem man sich verlieren kann. Ich mag solche Familiengeschichten mit verschiedenen Zeitebenen einfach gern. DIe Landschaft und vor allem "der geheime Garten" sind aber der eigentliche "Star" des Buches.

Justin Shea justinmshea — This is what I call popcorn reading. If it were made into a movie, it would be a pg-13, 90 minute episode of Supernatural meets Vampire Diaries with equally appalling actors. I don't understand these 5 star reviews that are praising this book as a breath of fresh air or anything like that. It makes me wonder if I look through some of the shelves of the reviewers will I find five star reviews for Twilight and 50 Shades. It also makes me question the types of books those who are paid to review the book read. Phoenix has no idea what she wants from these characters. They're all one dimensional and really serve no purpose to each other. I'm wondering if she even outlined this mess and bothered to create character biographies. This book is not a secret wonder, breath taking, or a special snowflake by any means. It should be marketed towards 16 year olds who think Twilight is the greatest book ever written. Heather is basically a cave woman with a gun and badge. Every time she opened her mouth all I could hear was "I am cop. I have gun. I have badge. Do what I say." She tried to throw non-existent weight around every moment she could especially in situations where she couldn't. Dante was never in her protective custody but she treated him as such. She had the entire case figured out in mere minutes which was completely laughable seeing as she had been hunting the serial killer for three years. Her backstory is nonexistent except for a mention of a sister (which serves no purpose at all. At least not in this book) and her father who apparently was a shitty father but a great mentor. The story centers around Dante who's backstory is even weaker. Lucian's secret is figured out within moments of meeting him. Time that should have been spent on Joanna and her involvement with Dante an his past should have been fleshed out a great deal more but was left lacking and wanting. If it wasn't for the fact I picked this book up for next to nothing when Borders was closing, I would never have wasted my time on it. Same with books two and three. I'm going to read them because these books can be ripped through in an afternoon. That's how much they can't be taken seriously.
