Summary: Perfect for an escapist weekend
Review: Bill Richardson is always brilliant. Bachelor Brothers B&B is touching, whimsical, hilarious and eloquent. This is the perfect book for a rainy day at the cottage. The Brothers live in a world where you can embrace life's simple pleasures and leave cynicism, violence, sexism and homophobia at the gate. A great gift for book-lovers, your best friend or your grandmother.

Rating:
Summary: Charming and whimsical.
Review: Everyone in the story seems to be eccentric, and perhaps that's why they all fit together so well. I enjoyed the story, and the idea of place you could vacation where you'd actually have the time to read. The two lists of authors that one of the brothers offered intrigued me. And a couple of the stories that were told had me laughing out loud.

Summary: A literary version of "comfort food"
Review: For those of us who do not prefer to read grizzly horror novels, but instead clever, amusing stories that de-stress us on work breaks or ease us gently into sleep....this is a great book! I've read it four times - and it has become a bedside favorite. Ignore the cynical Kirkus review above...everyone I know has loved this book and has passed it along to a friend.

Summary: Unique
Review: Given to me by a book loving friend this was not a work I had heard of, and from the title not one I expected to enjoy. But I was pleasantly surprised by this quiet and touching novel. The whole tone was one of reserved friendliness. The structure of the book was interesting and entertaining. I heartily recommend it, especially at a single setting on a chilly, rainy afternoon with a cup of tea at hand.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Gosh I loved this book. I read it in one hit, and ended up with a sore face from smiling the whole way through. The characters are wonderfully eccentric, their stories warm and funny. It could be the perfect book to take your mind off all that troubles you. I just wish the Bachelors and their B&B really existed.

Summary: Love it!
Review: I first noticed the colors and fonts on the binding in the library, and that's what made me pick this book up in the first place. But at soon as I started reading I knew I would love it! One of the great things about this book is that you can open it anywhere and start reading and it's just as fun. I thought it was very entertaining, funny and heartwarming, and I think just about anyone could enjoy it. I ended up buying it for everyone on my Christmas list last year, and so far I've heard all rave reviews!

Summary: It's time for a sequel
Review: I have just finished my second reading of this and also the "Pillow Book". They are truly enchanting, eccentric and laugh-out-loud funny. I can't wait for the third volume (hope I'm not to be disappointed) because I can't imagine the brothers would close up the house.

Summary: Great
Review: I have just finished reading this book and am already looking for more titles by this author. It is one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read - and I have read many. I loved the style of writing and the humor. I only wish I could visit that bed & breakfast. It sounds like my idea of the perfect vacation. I will read this one again. And Bill Richardson, if you read this, please write more!!

Summary: Listened to cats yowl that were more entertaining
Review: I have to admit, I'm easy to please. Great audio books are few and far between, but the writing, the reading, the tone and the stories on these cds were to me pretentious and overbearing. Save yourself the money and buy a classic. I enjoyed the "seabiscuit" story on Cd. Get that. I should have known better. Was it quaint? Maybe. Interesting or well done- no. I'd have more fun just reading a log book from an inn than listening to this again.
