  "Jayber Crow" by messengerbookgroup (see profile) 09/16/09

This is my favorite book by my favorite author. This is not your typical romance; this is an epic romance that demonstrates that true love is not a physical longing and fulfillment. Nor is it about unrequited feelings. Jayber's devotion to the one he loves is not the story of a nerd who can't get a girlfriend; it is the story of a man who recognizes the value of a particular woman and has no regrets about being faithful to her, though there is no sexual relationship. It is, too, the continuing story of a place, beautifully rendered; realistic and fully realized. Loss and joy are there; and, mostly, the extraordinary lives of ordinary people.

 
  "Slow read" by maril (see profile) 02/25/12

Read slowly and carefully so none of Jayber's wisdom and observations escape you. Funny, sad, insightful and just a good read overall. You learn about the people of Jayber's world and care.
