Excellent piece of writing. Ingenious. More has a wonderful sense of humor, and is clearly able to reflect on himself and his own society.

I liked this book and recommend it. What starts out as a wealthy man’s search for his wife who has disappeared after a vacation with her close college friends end up in typical Daniel Silva intrigue If you want to find out what happens then you need to read this book. I don’t want to give anything away that will spoil the book for others

A non-Jewish British journalist, who has covered the MidEast extensively, is outraged by the extensive anti-Israel, pro-Hamas demonstrations that took place immediately after the atrocities Hamas committed on Oct 7, weeks before Israel began its counter-offensive in Gaza. Interviewing people on all sides, he warns about the "theology" of terrorist groups and the impact they are having -- and the dangers they pose -- to Western societies. Powerful reading; MUST reading for all Americans.

I am a huge Sorkin fan, and I have always been fascinated by his near obsession with the story of Philo Farnsworth (and his brother in law Cliff Garner). The story of Farnsworth is a sad and disappointing one. It shows you how hard it can be for one man, even if he can/does make a difference. I enjoyed it and wished I could see it performed. But I also hope more people learn these kinds of stories and see how we were meant to be explorers and builders and to make amazing things

This thriller kept my interest. It had a lot of twists with a surprising ending. It was interesting to see the conclusions Courtney kept making. I would recommend this book

Katarina Shaw decides, at a very young age, that she wants to become an Olympic ice dance skater. She meets Heath Rocha, a young down-on-his-life/luck, guy. Their connection is instant and strong. Their story is powerful and scorching. The behind-the-scenes activity is very interesting. In the end it was dramatic and good.

This year's summer reading program guest speaker at the end of the summer party is the author John Searles. Searles, known for his mystery books, has tried his hand in another genre - the fictionalized account of a well-known person. In SINGLE GIRLS the life and times of the the writer, editor, and personality of Cosmopolitan fame Helen Gurley Brown is the star. The story was enjoyable and heartbreaking in turn. I wish I had paid more attention to all Brown said and did when I would have been able to benefit from it! Oh to be a single girl again ...

I enjoyed Theo of Golden and thought it was a solid read with compelling characters and an emotional story. That said, after hearing so much hype, I expected to be more drawn into the story. Since I tend to enjoy mystery/thriller books, I found Theo of Gold to be a little slow at times. Ultimately, a beautiful well written story.

I'm mixed on this book. There was a lot of twists and turns, which is usually good, but many were unnecessary. Guy kills his wife or did he? A million suspects. There were also too many red herrings, so much so, that it was obvious there were just that. The reveal was underwhelming and a bit cliché. The lies, revealed with more lies, made the truth seem insignificant. No real characters too root for, and unsatisfying ending.

I think it was a good book. It reminded me of some other ones I have read including Sidartha. It was a quick read and was not a lot of work. I think it is good for people to read, like a book from high school. It was okay, but I am glad I am happy I read it.
