Memories of Madison County

Rating:
Summary: Mixed opinion...
Review: I just finished reading my copy of St. James' book a few hours ago and in all honesty I'm not completely sure how to feel. The writing of Jana St. James is actually very good; descriptive with lots of detail, and the emotions that she and Waller feel are written so clearly/elonquently that we can feel what they felt as if we were there with them or it was one of us in this situation. But, like the other reviewers, I too am confused as to why she would bring all this out in the open twentysomething years later when the affair is so long over. Why would she do that when he's moved on with his wife Georgia, and he and Georgia are obviously happy, knowing that the publication of this novel could do damage to their relationship? It's almost as if St. James wants to stir up trouble. If she really felt the need to write about this time in her life to get it out of her system, she should have written this book exactly as she has done-except write it as a novel, with ficticious names/characters. However the writing is good, as I said before, and she writes about the emotions well, making her story all too believable. Three stars is about the fairest review I can give this book.

Review: I read the book in one sitting, I could not tear myself away. I felt like I was there, I could feal all the love and emotions. Memories of Madison County is at the top of my favorite list, I haven't read a book this good in along time. Thank You

Summary: "Never judge a book byt it's cover..."
Review: I was just looking around for something intersting, something just to read. Then one day my mother came in with this book that they had given to her, I saw the cover and thought this wasn't my kinda book, after leaving it on top of my t.v for a few weeks I decided to see what it was about, I picked it up and started reading, soon I couldn't put it down. This book is the kind of book that puts you in the front seat and makes you realize how much it can hurt to loose someone you deeply love. It kinda makes you wonder how bad that feeling is, and not wanting to but having to let go, of falling in love so deeply but just knowing that it just can't be, and that it has to not be. It's just a book you can read to pass the time, and to learn form someone else's point of view. If you like these kind of stories, this one is one to read.
