Summary: I have a copy in every room
Review: Quite literally yes! I do have a copy in every room. There are certain passges that I love to re-read again. The moment in Beanos and the respectful waitress turning the volume up so an intimate conversation between Michael Tillman and Jahlay can ensue. The Thanksgiving Dinner at The Bradens where you feel you are in the room with the characters witnessing a potential affair develop between them both but, somehow, you feel you are the only one who sees it. There are so many passages that I love about this book that, by their very power, they could be miniature essays in their own right. The fact that they all come together to make an all-round belter of a romantic novel makes the book a classic in my opinion. If Zen and the Art.... Catch 22...The Catcher in the Rye...are books you feel you should have due to popular opinion, then listen to me and buy this as it is in a class of its own in this genre.

Summary: "Slow Waltz" more like "Slow Death "
Review: R. J. Waller has once again given us another dose of his self-serving tripe. I believe this man KNOWS he doesn't have any talent for writing(and his music---let's not EVEN go there!)and is laughing his way to the bank as he deposits even more money he made off the yokels from the midwest who ate this trash up with a spoon because he's 'one of OURS.'. Iowa can have him, they deserve him. The only good thing I can say about his novels are that they are small and slim enough that any well meaning lover of good books can spirit the copies out of the library and toss them in a dumpster.

Summary: We need to have more of this type of love story.
Review: Robert James Waller needs to continuously write more of these love stories. 'Slow Waltz in Cedar Bend' is another good, believable story. It's too bad some critics can't recognize a truly good writer.

Summary: A page turning romance on a college campus
Review: Robert Waller writes a romance set on a college campus and really evokes college life from the point of view of a professor. This book really brought back memories! However, Mr. Waller should have ended the book sooner. He wrote one chapter too many! Enjoy the book, but skip the last chapter

Summary: Steve Riden says: Does it Get Any Better?
Review: Somehow, Wallers seems to take it to the next level. It's like he has no limits as a writer. I've once sent three copies of this book to a woman I loved; she never responded, but I think that may be her problme, not mine.

Summary: Somewhere between a soap opera and a Harlequin Romance
Review: The story was ok, but nothing great. I found the writing to be no great shakes, and frankly, a bit corny. I wanted to tell Michael to just get over it, and everytime I read the word Jellie, all I could think of was a great big bowl of jello.I read the whole thing on an airplane ride home--for that, it served its purpose. If you're looking for good literature, though, don't waste your time.

Summary: Only 50,000 words, thank God!
Review: This is a simple story of love and lust, told without using big words or graphic sexual descriptions. A child of twelve could read it and write a book report in about four hours, and never have to think too hard. He/she might wonder why grownups in the story were acting like teenage Romeo and Juliet, but other than that, it holds no surprises. Good clean fun for a short airplane ride or a rainy day on vacation.

Summary: Slow Waltz
Review: this is the book that should have been made into a movie instead of Bridges. Imagine the scenes that could have been shot at the lake in Tukadee(sp?)! The area in the Black Hills was beautiful too. Also, there was more drama, i.e. Michael's accident, the duck incident, when Jellie and her daughter appeared at the hotel. I found it a more intriguing and believable story. In my opinion, the best of all his books. footnote to amazon.com: why don't you mention that both Bridges and Slow Waltz are available on CD? I own both.
