Summary: It's a Winner!
Review: Barbara Delinsky never disappoints! "Coast Road" is no exception. The characters, both good and bad, were very believable and I felt I knew them by the end of the book. The only problem now is....when is the next one due???

Summary: Delinsky is one of the twentieth century's best writers
Review: Jack McGill and Rachel Keats have been divorced for six years and each went their separate ways. He became a wheeler dealer San Francisco architect and she became a Big Sur artist. Though their marriage is a thing of the past, Jack panics when he receives a late night call informing him that Rachel has been seriously injured in a car accident. He rushes to see her as she lies in a coma. He immediately knows that their connection still remains strong. As Rachel remains in a coma, Jack moves into her home to care for their children and stay near her. He visits her every day and begins to meet her friends. Jack starts to understand why Rachel left him. He now knows he never had time for her and their children. He desperately needs to have a second chance to prove to Rachel and the kids that he has changed. Now, if she will only wake up to grant him his second chance. Barbara Delinsky has a strong and fluid writing style that constantly moves her story line forward in an interesting manner even as each plot is unique unto itself. COAST ROAD is a beautiful love story that stars a heroine who is in a coma throughout the novel. Only a daredevil like Ms. Delinsky would risk this type of device and only a talent like the Divine Ms. D could make it work so brilliantly. This author's star is rising to levels unheard of by industry pundits. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Another Delinsky delight
Review: I found myself quickly drawn into this book. The characters were engaging, the settings were vivid and the story was intense. There were lots of chances for Jack to leave, but he stuck by his ex-wife Rachel's side throughout her coma, meeting her new friends from her new life and caring for the teenage daughters who barely remembered him. One daughter is already coping with the loss of a beloved pet, the other is 'fifteen going on thirty'. Throughout, he finds himself remembering the good times with his ex-wife and decides to rededicate himself to his family, quitting his high-stress job that kept him away from them in the first place. I was moved to tears at several points, something a book rarely does for me. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Trying to See it From another Prespective....
Review: In this story, Jack McGill, who has choosen his career over his family numerous times gets a wake up call when he discovers that his ex-wife Rachel is in a coma after a car accident. Jack never stopped loving Rachel, and for the first time in his life he puts his career on hold and goes to Rachels bedside, and to his two daughters. He discovers both his daughter and his wife are not the people he always thought them to be and that he somehow "missed the forest for the trees". With verbal abuse as well as a lot of guidance from Rachel's new friends, and his own daughters, Jack begins to reevaluate his life. Coast Road touches on many different topics, such as miscarriage, divorce, traveling husbands, breast cancer, as well as what it is like for those around a coma patient, but don't let that deter you. This is a well written rewarding read.

Summary: A different type of book
Review: You don't often read a book like this--at least with this story line. I kept expecting Jack to fall on his face and just chuck it all, but the author does a great job of making him into a human so that the reader can see what is going on behind the mask. I thought this book was pretty true to life--relationship wise. Sometimes, spouses expect too much of the other without actual communication, and when that breaks down, they need to figure out how to get it back. I loved how Jack was able to re-discover his kids and his talent. A great book from a great author. Enjoy!
