From the first page to the last sentence, I was captivated. Stedman’s beautifully written story and unforgettable characters have you on a emotional roller coaster from beginning to end. Her description of the Lighthouse on Janus Rock were just wonderful it made we want to run away to a isolated Island. Tom and Isabel are a happy couple that make a very heartfelt decision which will haunt them till the end. Was it right or wrong, we always hope we make the best decisions, sometimes they could be selfish ones, or painful, but in the end we always hope there for the best. Compelling, powerful, definitely a must read.

I liked the way this book made me feel. It took me down my nostalgia road. Where I was, who I was with in many historical events. M.O. Walsh writing was pleasant in my mind. You could say it was a coming of age meets mystery. The beginning was smooth, middle slightly slow, ending great pick up. I can\\\\\\\'t wait to discuss it at my book club this week. Without no spoilers it is about a young teenager in Baton rouge who becomes a suspect in the rape of the girl across the street who he is obsessed with. Definitely a good read. I guess M.O. stands for MOVE OVER Walsh is coming through.

Ok not my favorite Lisa Genova book, but the lady can still write a good book. LOVE ANTHONY in the beginning takes place in Nantucket Island in winter(depressing weather), as two women (alternating chapters) try to rebuild their lives after different tragedies effect them. On one hand a wife has a cheating husband, on the other hand a mother grieves a lost son with autism.
Unbeknown to them, their lives interweave together.
Lisa provides a picture definition into the world of autism. Where most struggle to understand autism, Lisa introduces us to embracing it.
Not sure what my book club is going to say about it. They were not looking forward to reading another book about a boy with autism. LOVE ANTHONY wasn\\\\\\\'t just about that, it was about unconditional love and how to open our hearts and mind and let it in. It was a steady read, it made me feel good but in the end I felt cheated.
The character Beth was advised after she finished writing her book, \\\\\\\"you don\\\\\\\'t have the right ending yet\\\\\\\", well Lisa I believe that might be the same case here. You don\\\\\\\'t have the right ending...But I liked it

Great fun, good read, but what isn't good by Neil Gaiman?

I listened to the audio book, 13 disks and not until disk #10 did I think it became interesting and addictive. If I was reading it I would have stopped after the first 100 pages. This book is for fans of Downton Abbey with all the proper English and social class. Not my cup of tea...

Wow I found this a very difficult, graphic read. More then half my book club (about 7 people) did not finish it. Way to much (fiction or non-fiction) hardship, torture, bizarre an all around difficult read, not for the light at heart.

I would have drove my car from coast to coast listening to Bahni Turpin narrate "Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen" The story (politically correct or not) was absolutely fabulous for me. I have been in a dry spell finding my next great story and Sarah Bird wet my whistle. Unfortunately I have never heard of Cathy Williams a woman Buffalo Soldier and now I can't tell enough readers about this well written, exciting story about Cathy. All the elements that make a good book great are in this book. I didn't care if Cathy Williams words were true or not true for a slave in that era. I thought all the words were fantastic and they took me on a beautiful journey through love, loss, grief, beauty, ugly, and friendship I was totally captivated. If you like to read historical fiction that dreamily takes you there and back DAUGHTER OF A DAUGHTER OF A QUEEN is the book for you. I rate it 5 stars for Sarah Bird and 5 stars to Cathy Williams.
