Rating: Summary: Passable, but long Review: This book wasn't too bad. I did find the characters to be somewhat wishy-washy and you never really knew what to expect (not really in a good way). I enjoyed reading about the time the characters spent as children most of all. It made you understand more the bitterness and resentment that they all seemed to have for one another. However, Callie's manipulation of all the rest seemed to be unfounded and a little hard to believe. This was the first Fern Michaels book I read (I have read another before writing this review) and this one was kind of too long to really keep me hooked the whole time. It could have had about 100 pages less and been easier to understand and follow. Not the best book I ever read, but, overall, it was an amusing way to pass the time.

Rating: Summary: WORST BOOK I EVER READ Review: This book's characters totally lacked any depth. One minute someone is having a nervous breakdown and the next she is standing up in a wedding. As far as the "Big Plot Twist" regarding parentage, what a joke! It seemed like she ran out of ideas and just threw this in to keep the "story" going.Fern Michaels (whom I normally LOVE)really messed this one up.
Rating: Summary: You Snooze-You Lose Review: This is by far the best example of Fern Michaels' work. As the line is delicate, yet loving, as race integrates in the south. The Best Reading all Year in my opinion. Love wins over race is her message. Please keep 'em coming! BUY THIS ONE!
Rating: Summary: Four people all looking for something different... Review: This was a tale different than most I have read. Four people are all looking for something different, and all go to the same place to find it. There lives were greatly entertwined as children, but they have drifted apart over the years. They are all back together again, and old emotions are tangled with new ones. A very entertaining mix.
Ms. Michaels has always been one of my favorite writers. I did not find this novel a dissapointment in the least, and hope to see more with this level of quality writing in the near future. This is a must read.
Rating: Summary: Extraordinary tale of true friendship Review: This was a wonderful story of true friendship. Everyone was so real, like friends you've had all your life. The author allowed us to see them grow and mature and to see their faults and their strengths and how they took on life with gusto and how when the going got tough they all pulled together the way they had when they were children. I saw my own yesterdays in this book. It was so good I didn't want it to end. Anyone who didn't get a message out of this book didn't read it properly. Carol Mezner
Rating: Summary: unbelievalbe Review: Unbelievable, I mean that literally. From the very beginning I was wondering, is this just me or is this a really silly story. I had a very hard time believing thirteen and fourteen year olds could support a home and people in it with a newspaper route. The dialogue between the friends was very unrealistic, and so was there behavior. I really don't think a top cop, who is now FBI, would go around threatening to use her gun every time she didn't get her way. I could go on and on with the strange behavior, but all in all I was very disappointed.
Rating: Summary: yesterday, today, tomorrow ~ who cares? Review: well this book took a while to finish. i tried to enjoy it, but i could not. the story is about three women, their "mama pearl" and a man who spent quite a deal of time together in their youth. mama pearl "protected and loved everyone". okay, so we get more than 3/4 of the way through this book (because everybody was busy remembering stuff) and then it is decided that one of the characters is selfish etc. we get everything wrapped up, neat and tidy at the end. what kind of story was this? some kind of feel good, you get what you deserve story. only it was so far off base, there was nothing realistic about it and as an escape clause for a novel it fell way way short. okay enuf for now. i want my money back (but the spine was broken, so it will go to the used book store for a teenager who needs imagination to read).

Rating: Summary: Superb Review: Yesterday is a tale of true friendship. I think everyone wishes they had such true friends in their life. I enjoyed every single page and was sorry to have the book end. Don't miss this one.
