Gdybyś spotkał(a) kogoś, w kim się od pierwszej chwili zakochujesz, czy praktycznie bez poznania ożenił(a)byś się z tą osobą? Bez zastanowienia, bo tak podpowiada serce? Bez poznania, bo się liczycie tylko Wy dwoje? Czy to szaleństwo? Czy może prawdziwa miłość? Historia rozpoczyna się w lutym - mi...
Okay, a friend challenged me to read this 30 days ago, I did it and The Deep End of the Ocean was not something I would have ever chosen on my own. Overall it was sad and at times depressing but what saved it for me was the way Jacquelyn paced the story. I had to keep on pushing through to see what ...
Two If By Sea, Jacquelyn Mitchard, author; George Newbern, I think it is hard for an author to write a novel that is similar in theme to another of her successful books, even years later. It invites comparison, and it is hard to measure up. “The Deep End of the Ocean” also involves a child that is ...
Quick review for a somewhat quick read. "What We Saw At Night" is an odd YA mystery. I don't know if I can say that my impression of it being "odd" is a good thing, because the oddity lies in its overarching presentation despite some pretty awesome/interesting elements. There were so many things abo...
Two if by Sea by Jacquelyn Mitchard has a lot going on, perhaps too much. Frank Mercy's story of grief is at the heart of all the threads of this story, but the story of Ian's power is at the heart of the plot. Is this the story of grief and new love or is this the story of a gift and the good and e...
What We Saw at Night should never have made my favorites list. It probably shouldn’t even be on my “like” list, because it just had so many problems. I didn’t like two of the main characters for most of the book (and still didn’t like one of them after I finished the book), I had to find the answer ...
In most of the anthologies that I've read there are often some good stories, some bad stories, and some in between. The end result is that I usually feel ambivalent. When I first started reading Shadow Show, I thought this anthology would be more of the same after reading the first story, which was ...
This is an interesting study in the meaning of family, particularly with regard to adoption. I found the story interesting at times, irritating at others but for the most part it was good, not great, but good. I was pretty sure how (in a macro sense) the story would end. I was right. There were ...
I'm really torn between 4 and 5 stars on this one. As far as short story collections go, this is pretty much 5 stars (there were only a few stories that I really didn't care for, and I read all but one of them). I think the only one I skipped was "Two of a Kind" by Jacquelyn Mitchard. It just seemed...
Twelve-year-old Veronica Swan's life is turned upside down when her two younger sisters are murdered during a game of hide-and-seek. She's a naive Mormon child, albeit one with unusually liberal parents given the faith, and has even more difficulty than one might expect dealing with the horrific si...
