I understand that this might be part of the genre but I didn‘t get it.

Insightful tale of growing up in South Africa. Hard to comprehend some of what he tells. Highly recommend
Maggie is a great writer. Quite a tale she tells for the most part avoids editorial comments and lets the facts talk.
A lot happens in the last half of the book and there are no hints of the coming surprises
Wow. What a story. The story gives you a new perspective on George Washington
Very powerful. The book follows nine Lower Ninth Ward residents and culminates shortly after Katrina.
The book is a sad reminder of how our government failed New Orleans
This is an excellent book about those left behind in London and in Malta. The title of the book is tongue in cheek since the brave were never jus on the front line
I liked the characters but the story is a bit strange. The author proves that love alters how one sees the world
Excellent non fiction. Fascinating Cold War story. Well researched and written
Interesting twists on time travel with a complicated love triangle. Good read
You won‘t guess the ending but it is a wow. You can‘t figure out whether you like or hate the main characters but that fact keeps it interesting
The book was good but the ending was like the author just ran out of ideas. Disappointing
Good story and I liked the narrator. He gets in lots von of predicaments
Pleasant read. Not much tension in story but lots of sex
Enjoyable. No suspense about the bad guys but fun nonetheless
Karl is a good writer. He knows what is important and unloads lots of facts on you. John
I enjoyed it greatly. WWII provides lots of venues for great stories
Reads somewhat like a history book. Ha! Interesting how key individuals drive the success of the pioneers
You will learn some little known history and wonder about the differences between lucky and unlucky
Read in one day. It moves quickly. Makes you wonder about what you don‘t know about friends and family
Immortality-gift or curse? Good read that shows how gifts sometimes cause you great pain.
Good story. Like most WWII books, lots of sadness but the Ladies Choir does a good job of helping with a stiff upper lip
Good action. Always interesting to read about human/ alien interaction. Romance is absent.
Great story. You will enjoy the characters. I don‘t know what Kristen intended with her story but the story has many echoes of events of our time.
This story is all about the people around us and the good and bad choices we make. I didn‘t guess the ending-you won‘t either
All the positive reviews are right. Great story.
WWII continues to provide tremendous ideas for compelling novels
Though I have read at least a half dozen Lincoln books I don‘t remember the depth of detail that this book contains. The striking thing about LINCOLN that this book brings home is how many times Lincoln lost before he won the presidency. Very enjoyable
My first Reacher book. Good story about a corrupt town bought off by steady streams of cash. Reacher fans will like the story and not be surprised (spoiler alert) that Reacher walks away from his love interest.
Good mystery. The Emily is the main character and she is well drawn- often conflicted by life‘s choices. Her fiancé is a rich kid. Why are rich people almost always portrayed as assholes. Is it because it is true?
I had not read Jo before but I will. Like many current novels all the characters in this novel are flawed but I guess that is real life. On the other hand the family that is the subject of the story is very messed up. Overall the story kept my interest
Ignore my earlier post thinking of my other book I was reading
If you believe in those who can see the future you will love this story
Three female leads and you will suffer with each of them. WWII setting for most of book with the Elizabeth/Phillip wedding framing the ending.
I wasn‘t surprised by any of the history he relates but the author does a masterful job of constructing her thesis based on facts
Superb story. Flashback story from current to Pre WWII. You will enjoy the characters.
This book shows the connections between wars that are continents apart which is a sad thought.
Good story in that context
Good whodunnit. Had me guessing til the murderer was disclosed. I recommend
This is the third book and I would rate this one 3d of the three
Still very enjoyable. I laughed out loud more times than I could count.
Read all three. They are each a delight.
The book is good but different in how it jumps from topic to topic and sometimes you aren‘t sure of the relevance of the jump
Very well written. Lots to think about. Fascinating observations about our history and current times. I would encourage most everyone to read this.
As expected there is a big twist at the end of the book. Fast moving. Enjoyable
My first but not last Baldacci book. He is a great storyteller and this is a good story with great characters
John
If you want a peek into the future as to what climate changes might do to us as a world this is an excellent story
Story about the English Irish battles in the mid 1800‘s and two men whose lives intersect. The ending was unsatisfying which is the reason it is not a pick.
In our own life we are often struck by how we intersect with each other in more ways than we understand.
This is a story of loss of a child and a wife and the search for answers. I would not recommend to anyone who has had a recent loss
Shelby Lake is the main character and you will enjoy this tale of a lost boy and Shelby‘s quest to find the answer to his disappearance
