Rating:  Summary: Really Great!~ Review: This book is really a great book. I have read 5 of the 6 books in the collection (Hindenburg,1937/San Francisco Earthquake, 1906/The Great Chicago Fire,1871/Washington Avalanche, 1910/ Pearl Harbor,1941) Now I can't wait to read Louisianna Hurricane, 1860. I bought both of the latest Pearl Harbor & Louisianna Hurricane & I finished Pearl Harbor in less than 24 hours... I couldn't put it down!

Rating:  Summary: An Excellent Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: This book is so great! If I could give it a million stars I would. Okay. Maybe I am going a bit overboard but this is an excellent book. In the beginning twenty year old Bekah is still recovering the death of her fiancè. He died in a fire. Because of this she left her home in Hawaii and want to SanFransico. On her way home she meets a man named Scott. She thinks Scott is a reverand so she tells him all of her secerts. They end up falling in love. Heres the catch:she is engaged to her dead fiancès brother. Eventually they end the engagement because they arent in love. Bekah who is trained as a nurse has to go to the boat where Scott is assigned one night to nurse. The next morning the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor. The end does not say if Scott dies or not but I know Bekah doesnt.
Rating:  Summary: Pearl Harbor Review: This was a great book. My great-grandfather fought in WWII so I was curious about the second World War even before I started reading the book. I'm not really into teen romance stories but this book had me captivated from the begining to the end. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know about this event that is always talked about in America's history. (I hope you like to read teen romance books too!)
Rating:  Summary: Excellent! Review: Well, I'd actually give it 4 and a half stars, but that isn't possible. The book is about twenty year old Bekah Martin, whose fiance, David McLaughlin, died in a fire the year before. She did, however, agree to marry his twin brother, Ian McLaughlin. When she returns to Hawaii, she meets Scott DeAngelo, ensign, of the US Navy, while onboard the ship. The two have somewhat of a "shipboard romance", though she feels that she's being disloyal to Ian. He, meanwhile, thinks that she's afraid to love... which is true. Purgatory, he calls her way of life. They meet a few times after getting off to Hawaii, and Scott still persists to "capture her heart", so to speak. She still remains loyal to Ian. Ian, hoever, doesn't love her... only in a brother/sister way, as does she, so the two eventually break off the engagement. Scott proposes, but she tells him she has to think... On December 7th, she finds herself onboard the Nevada, asleep after tending to Scott's friend Jimmy. The attack on Pearl Harbor begins, and she's stuck in the middle of it. During the attack, Scott is suddenly on fire, and Bekah painfully reminices how David had also been engulfed in flames. Being a nurse, she finds several wounded, but she can't do much to help, and is brought back to the hospital. I can't tell the ending... It would ruin the story. But she sees Scott again, and isn't afraid to love him any longer, even if her worst fear is coming true: He's dying. The one thing wrong with this was that they jumped into romance a little too quickly. It would have been better had they fallen for each other later... instead of at second or third sight (in a matter of two or three meetings; two days). Still, it WAS an excellent story, and the scenes were painted quite vividly. Especially on the Nevada, when she encounters many men that were killed. The end, at the Pearl Harbor attack, was probably the most well written. If not for the romance, or the characters, read it for the end, which would give a clear and, almost, scary idea of what was happening during the attack.
Rating:  Summary: An Awesome Book! Review: Wow! I thought this book was awesome... It was a great love story and I could hardly put it down. The ending kinda left me hanging but it was still awesome. I think the author should write a sequal telling what the final outcome is. I suggest this book to everyone who is searching for a good romance.
