The identity comes first: Evie Porter. Once she’s given a name and location by her mysterious boss, Mr. Smith, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the mark: Ryan Sumner. The last piece of the puzzle is the job. Evie isn’t privy to Mr. Smith’s real identity, but she knows this job isn't like the others. Ryan has gotten under her skin, and she’s starting to envision a different sort of life for herself. But Evie can’t make any mistakes—especially after what happened last time.

Decent plot with some twists, a bit far fetched some of the details. But, movies stretch the impossible too.

I really enjoyed this book, even more than I expected. I knew Mel Brooks was very talented. However, I had no idea that he produced and directed so much. What made this book especially wonderful was hearing his voice as the narrator. There was not one boring moment for fans of Mel Brooks!

For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight - or the headlines. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years - all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception.

This was an honest insight into Demi Moore’s tortured life and how she overcame her past and upbringing to become the woman she is today. I always enjoyed seeing Demi in movies, and this was wonderful to see the depth of the person behind her roles on the silver screen. Anyone who has had a troubled past can find lots to identify with, thank you Demi

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

While parts of the book dragged a bit, this was a solid sharing of the other side of the ‘Royal’ story. So terribly sad when families don’t support each other. Can’t blame them for leaving England and the rules and protocols. Hoping their children can grow up safely and happily.

When she was suddenly given the opportunity of a new life in rural Jutland, journalist and archetypal Londoner Helen Russell discovered a startling statistic: the happiest place on earth isn't Disneyland but Denmark, a land often thought of by foreigners as consisting entirely of long, dark winters, cured herring, Lego and pastries. What is the secret to their success? Are happy Danes born or made?

First, great narrator! She definitely added to the story in her delivery. Second, wonderful story that kept me interested (almost) the entire time. Story line kept the information flowing well with entertaining examples of how Danish life ‘is’. Very much worth the listen!

So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say.

Couldn’t connect with the lead character
Reviewed: 04-21-19
Thin story line with first significant plot twist halfway through the book. Main character was not believable living alone since a small child (never any health issues and she grew up gorgeous and seemingly healthy?) He silence and lack of communication at important times with other characters frustrated me. Played too much the martyr. Investigation was not believable - went to court with no substantial evidence? What happened to the Grand Jury trial to determine if there was enough evidence to go to trial? It was however beautifully written as far as imagery.

What a lovely story this was. I didn’t expect much thinking that the quilting theme was going to overpower the story. But it was a lovely story with great characters and if you are a quilter you will really enjoy how quilts were ‘sewn’ into the story. Enjoy!

With ribald humor, wit, and incredible insight, Alan seamlessly moves back and forth in time, integrating stories from his childhood in Scotland and his experiences today as the celebrated actor of film, television, and stage. At times suspenseful, at times deeply moving, but always incredibly brave and honest, Not My Father's Son is a powerful story of embracing the best aspects of the past and triumphantly pushing the darkness aside.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6,061
This landmark book is for those of us who prefer words to equations; this is the story of the ultimate quest for knowledge, the ongoing search for the secrets at the heart of time and space. Its author, Stephen W. Hawking, is arguably the greatest mind since Einstein. From the vantage point of the wheelchair, where he has spent the last 20 years trapped by Lou Gehrig's disease, Professor Hawking has transformed our view of the universe. A Brief History of Time is Hawking's classic introduction to today's most important scientific ideas.

Told in language we all can understand, A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and “arrows of time,” of the big bang and a bigger God — where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation.
