Class of 90

Revisado: 06-15-24

Loved it. It was authentically Army/West Point. I was class of 90 and a chinook pilot. It brought back a flood of memories.

Mansplaining

Revisado: 01-20-23

This is my favorite episode in the first three seasons. I reference it often, the mansplaining and investment advice.

Makes me wish I was from Iowa

Revisado: 06-05-20

Senator Ernst is an inspiration! Her story of farm girl, to Army Battalion Commander, to US Senator is an illustration of service, perseverance, and compassion. Her respect and admiration for the people of Iowa shines in every word and action. Farm communities everywhere will hold their heads a little higher after reading this book. Her honesty, humility, and honorable living is refreshing and exactly the kind of servant leadership our county needs right now. Thank you for your service and good luck with your re-election.

Political Bias

Revisado: 01-16-20

I really liked the first book in this series. The second book showed political bias, but I could overlook it. This third book was even more biased. I just wanted it to end! If I hadn't already spent so much time with the first two I would have quit, and I hate to quit. So alas, I suffered through. Thank goodness for the 2.0x speed option.

my granddaughter says people are complicated

Revisado: 11-11-18

This book is more similar to A Man Called One than to Beartown. I loved the Grandmother, especially on the day they went to the zoo. Backman has a special ability for slowly unwrapping his characters. They are often quirky, damaged, and delightful. The precocious young girl was a little too mature at times to really be believable. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable book. #Familiesarecomplicated #Moms #Gettoknowpeople #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Being Timely

Revisado: 11-11-18

This book was ok. I appreciate that the author's premise was fairly original, and I think the time being part is clever. I also liked learning more about Japanese culture. However, her liberal bias seeped through many scenes in the book and distracted from the storytelling. #Liberalbias #Suicide #Noclueaboutthemilitary #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Heart warming, not just for dog lovers

Revisado: 04-23-12

Dean Koontz opened my heart even further to the wonderful love of a good dog. His unique, eloquent descriptions of what dogs change inside us was insightful, funny, and moving. I have a CCI release dog too. It is a great organization, training amazing dogs!

Layers

Revisado: 03-23-12

Would you consider the audio edition of Until the Next Time to be better than the print version?

Personally, I don't like reading any accents. So the audio version of the Irish accent was the best way to enjoy this book.

What other book might you compare Until the Next Time to and why?

This book reminds me of the Da Vinci Code

What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?

I liked the emotion he kept in the story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh. I married into an Irish family. So the observations about the Irish, by an Irishman, made me laugh.

Any additional comments?

This book has many layers and is thoroughly entertaining. It is a great book for a book club because there is a lot to talk about: war, love, spirituality, and politics.
