For All Their Lives

Rating:
Summary: Enlightening historical fiction
Review: A unique blend of a romance with the historical Vietnam Era. This story was repeated all over the country many times, so I'm for sure some it was painful to read. I enjoyed it very much. I've read most of her books, but this older one I had missed. It also aptly described cold emotionless parents, unhappy childhood, and how adults can overcome their environment. The work done by nurses and doctors on the battlefield must have been under such primitive conditions it's a wonder anyone survived.

Summary: Absolutely wonderful! Will read this one again soon!
Review: For All Their Lives by Fern Michaels is truly wonderful. You love Ruby. Most of us could probably relate to this book. Wonderfully written, know Fern must have put a lot of her heart in this one. Well written and hooks you immediately.

Summary: This book left me heart-broken.
Review: I enjoyed reading this book even though it was a bit long at times. I liked the way the author brought out the emotions felt by Vietnam Vets after they returned home from the war but, I would have preferred for her to be a little more descriptive. I didn't really feel like I was there... smelling, feeling, and hearing what our soldiers and medical personnel did while they were "in country." My heart actually ached for Mac and Casey, wishing their love affair had materialized into much more. Overall, this book was good reading.

Summary: How could he give up?
Review: I felt for the most part, that the story was plausible. But I got truly irritated by how long it took for Mac and Casey to finally meet at the end. The fact that Mac gives up on Casey even after Alice gives him the go-ahead to go after her just doesn't wash. I was extremely disappointed that the never get together and presumably live their lives out without each other.

I was truly touched however by the comraderie of the troops and the aftermath of the war.

Summary: Best book Fern Michaels has written.
Review: I really enjoyed this book very much. I saw growth in characters, acceptance of situations as they happened and an overall well written story about those who fought an unpopular war and what happened to them after they returned home. The pain of loosing unknown soldiers along with those they knew was well done. Keep up the good work Fern. I am glad to see the sexual scenes take a back stage to the real drama of the story.
