Wer bei diesem Buch vom Autor gleich auf das Genre schließt, liegt völlig falsch. Es handelt sich hier um einen Familienroman, nicht um einen Krimi. Ich habe bei Amazon gesehen, daß einige Leute dem Buch deshalb eine schlechte Bewertung gegeben haben, das kann ich so gar nicht nachvollziehen. Wenn m...

This novel was dripping with so much cheese I had to run out and get some Ritz crackers. Very disappointing after all the great reviews about it. Even though the intention is a sad, yet inspirational story, everything seemed to just fall into place too perfectly in order for the plot to move along. ...
As a huge fan of David Baldacci, one of the top political-suspense thriller authors, I was a little intrigued when I first saw "One Summer" sitting on a shelf at my local bookstore. It seemed quite a departure from the usual Baldacci fare, so I picked it up out of curiosity. I must admit, I didn't r...
A powerful book that pulled me in quickly and dragged me to the concluding chapter. Feel somewhat drained now, physically and emotionally. A man, dying from some unnamed illness which has a survival rate of 0.0% (not 0.00001%, but 0.0%), is trying to live until Christmas. His wife is helping him as ...
