This is a Prequel

Revisado: 11-08-24

Although I am always loving to be back in Three Pines with people I have come to love, the ending of this one is SO disappointing. So many unanswered questions and so many threads not resolved. A good novel can set up future stories and at the same time feel complete and satisfying in itself. This wasn’t one of them. My least favorite of this series for that reason.

Amaze!

Revisado: 09-16-24

I loved the story, the characters and scientific details. The narrator perfectly captures the voices of Grace and Rocky. Like most great novels, this will stay with me. I think that “amaze!” Is my new word of wonderment and repeating a word three times my new method of emphasis. Thankful! Thankful! Thankful!

Another Great John Sandford Novel

Revisado: 04-24-24

What more can you ask in a novel? Characters you know and love, good verses evil, and people who are willing to step up to do what needs to be done for the benefit of others.

Childhood PTSD is Real

Revisado: 08-13-23

My father died in a plane crash in Vietnam in 1967. He was not in the military but was there as a civilian at the request of the US AID. At that time there was no such thing as grief counselors for kids, and everyone just went on with life as if nothing had changed. 50 years later, when I connected with the other children of the men who had also died in that crash, we all shared that common experience: “No one talked about it.”

My brothers’ lives were forever effected by PTSD. So even before Harry mentioned PTSD in this book, I knew what

Funny and Fun…Well Written

Revisado: 06-03-23

The characters are engaging and (except for the villains) likable. The story has twists and turns to keep you guessing and interested. And those over 70 who are finding that younger people and society at large are dismissing and disregarding you will take even more pleasure in this series that celebrates a group of smart, caring, and creative seniors.

I’m so happy to hear this wonderful read of another Vera Stanhope book. These are novels that make me happy. Intelligent, stories well told, and engaging characters.

Funny, Smart, and Growth Encouraging

Revisado: 03-28-23

There are several levels that readers can appreciate and enjoy this book. First of all, it will make you laugh out loud. Great comedic writing. Next, you'll appreciate the intelligent turn of phrase, or the perfect wording. My favorite? "The brain stem level of satisfaction" of raising your own food. Perfect. It's a book that will make foodies hungry and gardeners grin in recognition.

But beyond that is the story of a person...of you and me...being willing to try something new. A story of how when we give in and say "yes" to pushing ourselves into starting from scratch, learning new skills, we experience one of the best experiences that life has to offer.

Disappointing

Revisado: 12-15-21

As a plant person I had high hopes for this book, but it just got more and more bizarre, with characters I couldn’t care about. I stopped listening when they shot the dog.

Thoughtful, Heartwarming, and Well Written

Revisado: 10-12-19

If you grew up in the midwest in the late 1950's or the 1960's this book will resonate with you. If you like an American tale that includes characters that are as complicated as people are in real life, this book will appeal to you. And if you've ever struggled with the mysteries of the nature of faith and spirituality, you'll enjoy this book.
