Rating:  Summary: Entertaining and thought-provoking. Review: To be able to write a novel that it is thought-provoking, laugh-out-loud funny, satirical, and a great conversational book requires talent, and Catherine Burr has that talent.
Rating:  Summary: Found on a plane Review: With the seats so close on today's flights I could not miss the book being read next to me. As the person finished I asked about the book and he described an exciting story of twists and turns. With two hours left on the flight I got a chance to read the book cover to cover and was "Lucky" to finish as we landed. You must read just find the secret. My favorite characater is Heather, the women that most men would like to find. I have ordered the book and hope it arrives by Valentines day because my wife will not be able to put it down.
Rating:  Summary: Wealth is "Not" an Empty Virtue Review: Work up that sequel, Catherine. Bang the drum of success over an icy samosa and take a flourished bow -- or two, or three. But please! Don't stop here. Don't rest on the laurels of one lusty story. Go write us more, Kiddo. Tell us another tale, entertain us anew. You have a gifted knack to express a cornucopia of mundane emotions. The underlying truth of human frailty screams out from the pages of your novel. The real secret in "Silicon Secrets" is the tacit humor that underscores all of mankind's innate needs. Lucky defines "life" with a nonchalant ease of a rogue savant. Heather, the struggling child of the cosmos, sees beauty wasted everywhere. A malcontent of wealth and ease, she acts out - screams out - her "sense" of being. She will be, she. Damn the consequences, damn the lofty heritage of Billy Sanger. Ah! Yes. A real artist? But wait...the flower child has breached her natural flow to develop. All of this perfection is flawed. All of Heather's needs are whisked away by the cad and rambler, Lucky. Wealth is "not" an empty viture. Greed "is" an acceptable vice. Avarics "is" a common goal instilled by developed society. And just when do you state all this? What words did you pen down for us -- the reader -- to chew up and spit back...into the face of social normalcy? Well?...You did it from word one -- right through to the end. And -- I thank you.
Rating:  Summary: Perfect Vacation Read. Review: You'll be engrossed in the story and characters from beginning to end. Some characters you may like more than others, but their will be at least one or more you can relate with.Lucky--good or bad guy? Heather--honest or as deceiving as J.J., the woman who lures Lucky into the life he thinks he wants. It's up to the reader to decide who think is "right," and it's a fun read in the process.
