Poignant and deep

Reviewed: 10-16-23

A haunting story that will stay with you long after you close the pages. Wingate’s writing is superb, keeping your senses on edge and delighted. I fell in love with the characters, and with the story. I had to put it down a few times because it was a hard story to swallow, even more so when understanding that it’s based on true facts. In the end, I was relieved that the characters were 100% fictional. I kept hoping that Camellia would return, but the authors choice to have her not return, drove home the reality of the story. I would read more of this author any day.

Superb

The performance was superb. I think the story was not only beautifully put together, but very appropriate for our times to remind us the importance of connecting with other human beings of different cultures.

I loved hearing about how the gut works and why veggies are so good for your gut and hence you. I loved understanding the whys behind why junk food is harmful to your gut. Overall, she did a good job of encouraging me to eat better and understanding the why's behind it. I will think twice before making a choice about my diet.

loved the perspective of the prophets mother. it's one of the few books from this time era written in The voice of a woman who experienced it.

I really enjoyed this this book by Lee child. it was less gruesome than some of his other books but just as compelling. really couldn't put it down.

predictable and no t my cup of tea

Reviewed: 03-18-19

it's not a book that I could finish. I found the story to be cliched and predictable. I found it intriguing that the story was written from the viewpoint of the dog, but did not like the way the author did it. Enzo's tone had a know-it-all arrogant attitude that while fitting for the author's purpose, did not jive with the dogs place in his owner's life. It all seems so contrived. also I didn't like all of the advice that was riddled throughout the book. they were blatantly stated. I feel that in a good book of literature these bits of advice should be discovered and furrowed out as you read. I didn't like that they were thrown at my face

magical

Reviewed: 12-21-18

the Christmas Pearl was a magical read. it was trite. it was iconic. but I loved every minute of it. The dramatic reading of it brought it to life. I would love to see this as a Hallmark movie or even a stage play. I loved the ghost. I loved the magic. I loved the reminiscence of it all. if I could sum it up I would say that it reminds me of the need to create magic in our lives at Christmas and always.
