Sara's Song

Summary: Cozy read for a rainy day
Review: Because I work full time and am raising a family my reading time is special to me. I saved this book for the long 4th of July weekend along with Finders Keepers. I read both of them while I sat under my sun umbrella in two days. What a mix of characters in Sara's Song. Each character was so totally different and so real I hated to see the book end. I thought the plot was really good and I rooted for Dallas from the git-go. I had the feeling he was somehow going to be very special to the book even though he "died". I have an aunt like Nellie who is so in your face I thought I was reading about her. That's what I like about this author's books. Everything is so real I feel like I experienced whatever it was that was happening myself. A lot of writers can't make me feel like that. It was a great book.

I'm one of your biggest fans.

Summary: Fern Michaels does it yet again!
Review: Fern is at her amazing best! Once again, Fern manages to interweave her characters, making them both believable and fascinating at the same time. Dr. Sarah Killian and rock star Dallas Lord shouldn't have anything in common. They come from two very different worlds. Somehow, through their differences they find each other's strengths--from this love blossoms.At the beginning of SARA'S SONG, Dallas still has a lot of growing up to do. It is only when he is faced with death, and discovers himself and strengths he didn't know he possessed that he is able to mature.The Dallas who returns is a new man. More mature, wiser, and a man the reader can truly fall in love with. By the end of the book the reader is rooting for these too and the ending is like a decadent dessert. Her secondary characters are the frame for the story and help to tie it all together. Nellie is absolutely delightful. The writing is tight, the dialogue is witty and Fern creates that magical element that makes one go back and read a book again and again.

Summary: Enjoyed This Book
Review: I have to say that I really enjoyed reading this book. I read over some of the reviews that Fern Michaels got on this book, but I don't tend to agree with some of them. I really liked reading about how Dallas went about changing his life and then managed to finally get back with his love (Sara). Very good book. When I read a book and it makes me cry (as this one did), I have to give it good marks :). I enjoyed this book very much and will reccommend it to my friends.

Summary: A real page turner
Review: I haven't read much in the way of romantic suspense and was surprised to see Fern Michaels had written one. I liked this book a lot. Just when you think you have it all figured out, she throws you a curve. I like that. I'm sick of reading same old, same old. I have a cousin who suffers from dyslexia and she is on the money here with Dallas and what he went through. Adamm was a great character. They were all great characters. I'm anxiously waiting for the new one. The sample chapter at the end really got me going.

Summary: Did someone fire the proof reader?
Review: I talked with my sister one day and we discuss books frequently. She said she was reading the most badly written book ever. Well, after I started reading a batch of books she lent to me months later...I picked it right out! This is the second book by this author I have tried to plod through, and only because I was hard-up for something to read. I got bored reading her one-sided page long dialogues. NOBODY talks and talks like that. I think this may just be Michaels style of writing..one I will make a point to avoid in the future. I'll stick to Nora Roberts and Elizabeth Lowell for characters that have depth and dialogues that are pertinent to the story-line.

Summary: Another fascinating work by a master
Review: Internationally famous rock star Dallas Lord is in Los Angeles doing a special benefit for alzeimers research. However, when his best friend, lead guitarist Billy Sweet, complains of chest pain, Dallas rushes him to the emergency room of Benton Memorial Hospital. Dr. Sara Killian provides medical care for Billy, who has suffered a life threatening coronary.

As Billy convalesces, Sara and Dallas are very attracted to each other. However, Sara is wary of Dallas' high visibility lifestyle. He also has his fears that, she being a highly educated person, will reject him due to his inability to read. Adding to the reluctance between the two is the increasing tension between Dallas and his sibling, the business manager of the band, who also is attracted to Sara's smile. Dallas frets even as he wonders if his better educated and apparently more intelligent brother is better suited for Dr. Sara.

SARA'S SONG is a neatly composed relationship romance that will be enjoyed by readers who like competitive love stories. The lead protagonists are charming characters, whose doubts and hesitations make them seem very real. The support cast propels the story line forward. Fern Michaels has provided her readership with an entertaining and thought provoking contemporary relationship romance.

Summary: LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAAA!!!
Review: Sara's Song was an interesting book. The author Fern Michaels takes two opposites and prove that they are opposites and they should never be anywhere near each other other than passing on the street. She manages to defuse one of the country's greatest doctors in the name of Dr. Sara Killian while simultaneously exposing the underside of one of the country's greatest rock stars in the name of Dallas Lord.

Come now, what would a promising doctor really want with a rock star, each of which was about 40 years old. Fern has a monumental task on her hands with this storyline. Needless to say, Fern rises to the call. The good doctor leaves her throne and comes down the ladder to become a potter while the rock star reaches out for more education up the ladder. Compromise, compromise, compromise becomes very easy to do when such wide spans have to be covered. After many smoke screens, they get together and vow to love each other for ever and ever of which a song--book title-- (Sara's Song) was written to document same.

Why can't real life play out like these wonderful books???????

Summary: Bravo!
Review: This was my first book from Fern Michaels. It was horrible. I'm surprise she stayed with Dallas. The dialogue was stupid. Horrible book.
