Rating: Summary: 'Annie's Song' was a great read. Review: I enjoyed reading Annie's Song . The story is well written and often amusing, considering the fact that one of the main characters (Annie) is deaf. The two main characters share a love for one another that allows them to go beyond the normal boundaries of communication and form a relationship that most only dream about.This book is heart-warming and entertaining. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good summer read
Rating: Summary: Entrancing Review: I had a hard time tearing myself away from this book. The same goes for her other books. Ms. Anderson's use of characters who are not physically perfect is a wonderful contrast to all of the other stories out there. Her characters are so human you can't help but fall in love in with them and want to become part of their world.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Review: I have not enjoyed a book so much in a long time. I laughed and cried out loud. Annie's ignorance was understandable given the circumstances of her "life" before Alex. Contrary to what another reviewer stated, Alex is not a wimp. He was caring and sensitive, maybe a little too good to be true but not a wimp. If only he was real! This is my first but not my last Catherine Anderson book.
Rating: Summary: A Sweet, Sweet Heart-Warming Romance Review: I have read many romances, but this must be the sweetest romance I have ever read. When Alex Montgomery marries the lovely deaf/mute Annie out of his percieved obligation, he believes he is saddle with an idiot wife. Not to soon after the wedding, Alex realizes the error of his ideas and crusades to woe and love his wife. Alex's quest to open his wife to a world she never knew is funny and heartwarming as he rushes into the process with unrelenting determination and optimism. Anderson has written a heart-engaging romance that successfully engages the reader on behalf of Alex and Annie, to surpass their initial inability to communicate to develop a love and joy for each other that knows no bounds. This book is definitely a 10+!
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Book! Review: I have read many, many historical romances. This one will make you laugh and cry. A very touching story that I couldn't put down. I bought copies for all of my friends.
Rating: Summary: Disapointed but not surprised Review: I love to read good romances and this was nothing like a good romance. I bought this book because of the reviews here on amazon. I must say that they are a bit misleading. This is not a romance but a love story. And a bad love story at that. I just didn't believe these characterd from jump street. I read chapter after chapter waiting for something to happen with them but it never did. 300 plus pages of pure fluff. Nothing happens in this story and the little that does pass for plot was predictable and clich`e. If you want to read a good book about deafness read Sandra Browns' Eloquent silence. It demonstrates what good writing is all about. Really i think this book would not have been so bad if were about 100 pages shorter.
Rating: Summary: avid romance reader Review: I loved this book. This is the first of Catherine Anderson's books that I have ever read and I certainly intend to read more.

Rating: Summary: One of the best reads! Review: I normally don't write reviews for romance novels ~~ but I really enjoyed this one. It was predictable though ~~ like a lot of other romance novels ~~ but it was so sweet and so refreshing compared to a lot of other books. It has an uplifting beat throughout the whole book and it did explored what it is like to be deaf. Annie's parents hid Annie ever since a fever left her "slightly touched" since she couldn't talk or hear ... they assumed that Annie was mentally ill. When Annie was raped by Douglas Montgomery, Douglas' big brother Alex steps in to marry her and raise her child ~~ giving her the protection of his name. What Alex didn't expect was to fall in love with Annie ~~ and this is a book detailing the sweet romance between Alex and Annie. If you're looking for a lighter read to take to the beach or on vacation ~~ I highly recommend this book! It's a good read and quick one too!!! 4-5-02
