Summary: Was My Book Missing The Last Page??
Review: I really liked this book I could not stop reading it. It makes you think about people that you know, are they really who you think they are? I didn't like the ending, actually it didn't have an ending. I told my husband that I had to take my book back because some back pages were missing. Sure enough I go to the store and find that all the copies there have the same ending that I read!! I was annoyed because it was a good book but did it have to end like that??

Summary: Gripping!
Review: Don't start this book unless you have time to read it through. It pulled me in from the first page and I could not put it down. It hammered home how intricate relationships are and how little we really know about even the people we think we are most close to.

Summary: If you wondering what it's like to be married to a pilot...
Review: Having been a pilot's wife for almost 16 years, I found this novel both stunningly realistic, and outrageously ridiculous. Kathryn's internal monologue the night Robert shows up on her doorstep to reveal the news is chillingly accurate...I don't know a pilot's wife who hasn't run this scenario through her head a million times and wondered how she would take her ever next breath if it ever really happened. We all have had late-christmases, postponed birthdays, and the vague feeling that we are always being left behind. I often tease my husband about having "another wife" in Detroit (his base)when forgets if he has told me something, but Jack actually did! I'm not sure what kind of ending this book had. Like so many others, I was left with an empty, confused feeling. Maybe a sequel is pending? One thing is for sure, Ms. Shreve spoke to airline people before writing this book. Definitely worth reading, but buy the paperback not the hard-cover.

Summary: Fascinating and Ultimately Uplifting
Review: I thought this book was wonderful. While the subject is on it face depressing, it was more of the story of a strong woman person picking up the pieces of her life, after the death of her husband, and moves on with their life. It is also a mystery (why did the plane go down?). And the story of how someone (albeit fictional) comes to terms with betrayal. For those who do not liked depressing books, like those Oprah normally chooses, do not pass this book. Those however who have suffered the loss, might want to think twice. While much of Annie's grief and loss is wrapped in shock, it is still very strong.

Summary: Riveting
Review: This book brings home the fact that it is possible to never truly know another person. It starts on a sad note, the loss of a husband, and proceeds to disclose events totally unbelievable, totally realistic. This is something that really could happen. I admired Kathryn for her sensitivity to the "other woman" and her children while trying to deal with her own grief and shock. I highly recommend this book. I couldn't put it down and read it through in one day.

Summary: This Could Have Been a Really Good Book
Review: The author came up with a hellava story, there just wasn't enough of it. This was almost a short story with the text looking like something turned in for homework and it had to be X amount of pages. I had just finished "I Know This Much Is True" right before reading this book. Maybe that was the problem. My comparison left this book a pale, sad second place.

Summary: Oprah made a big deal out of nothing...
Review: I was expecting this book to be exciting from what Oprah said on her show. It was a very predictable book to me. I felt like I knew what would happen before each chapter ended. The only good thing about the book was that it didn't take long to finish!!!

Summary: Can you ever truly know the person you are married to?
Review: New author for me, but found the book interesting. Pilot who loses his life, wife who finds she never truly knew this man that she had been married to for years. Quite a few twists and turns, easy reading.

Summary: Another good reading selection thanks to Oprah!!!!!!
Review: Anita Shreve has a way of writing that makes it difficult to put the novel down before you've finished reading it. Makes me want to read some of her other novels.
