Full review coming once I have time to gather my thoughts. I hoped I would enjoy WHILE HE WAS AWAY, and I did. I had a few small quibbles, but overall found it to be an enjoyable book, with a fresh, original writing style from the author.
Don’t let the pastel colored sunset fool you into thinking this is a love conquers all thing. This is not just some sweet love story of a couple seeing things through to their happily ever after. IT’S BETTER THAN THAT. Mainly because it’s more real but more importantly less dramatic about the goings...
I really don't know what to think about this book. It was ok, but I somehow didn't like Penny. Her story had good moments, had weak too.Nice, quick read.
Other reviews like this at The Book Babe Note: Due to copy an paste, formatting has been lost.While He Was Away was an utterly amazing novel about the effects of war, the girlfriends of soldiers, and, overall, how scary and insane it can be having someone you love in the war.To be honest, I really ...
I've been flip-flopping on exactly what to say about this book since I read it. There are parts that I absolutely loved. And there are parts (like the end)--not so much.I loved the cover. A lot of times, the cover doesn't match the book or what I think the couple looks like. This isn't the case w...
to be honest , i was unable to get inside the book . it didn't interest me much and it felt forced for when i picked up my tablet to read it .and that for me is Not Cool .Maybe i'll read it some other time , until then this book is not for me .
I had hopes that While He Was Away would be an eye opening, emotional experience for me, but unfortunately, it was not that. I understood it was about a girl's boyfriend being drafted and going off to Iraq, and the struggles she will be facing once he was gone. However, throughout the whole book I d...
Opinion:Disappointment. That is what I felt when I read this book. I liked it well enough and I liked the characters, but I was let down by the fact that I thought the story was going to be something other than what it was. From the description I thought I was going to get to see what happened with...
I knew I shouldn't read this book. I knew it! This book definitely isn't for those who want things to happen. LOL I know,this sounds weird,but nothing was happening. That's why it took me a couple of days to finish it. I felt bad for Penna and I feel bad for the real women who are waiting for their ...
When I started reading this book I knew exactly where it was going. This book took me buy surprise with the changes of the characters. It certainly was not what I expected it to be but instead made me long for more.What I loved most about this book are the characters. The reader meets to characters ...
