Summary: Excellent...One of the BEST
Review: J. California Cooper really captured the essence of anyone trying to discover themselves and, indeed, searching for satisfaction. From the moment I started reading, I was captivated by the liveliness and unpredictability of the storyline. I had a hard time putting the book down! This is by far the best book I've read in a long time.

Summary: One of my Favorite writers
Review: J. California is one of my favorite writers. In Search of Satisfaction was, by far, her most 'out there' book. I just couldn't believe the outright scandalous nature of some of the characters. Though I think one of the underlying themes regarding Satan was overdone a bit, the real point, that people do a WHOLE lot in their quest for happiness and satisfaction, ultimately came through in the end. Most of her short stories are short, sweet and generally have happy endings. This book takes you on a wild ride with some selfish, crazy, plotting people along with a couple pure and simple folks.

Summary: Voted Best Book of 2003 ('Just Us Girls' Book Club)
Review: The ladies of 'Just Us Girls' Book Club reviewed this book in June '03. Overall the group felt that this book was very good!! The author did a good job in depicting how money does not ultimately bring total satisfaction! Each character portrayed selfish characteristics... there is a thin line of pleasing yourself before pleasing others. The metaphor of the black widow spider clearly depicted the character of Carlene. Hosanna made important decisions in New Orleans that impacted her family in Yorkville.
Question - `who has greater power God or money?'

Summary: Danielle Steele If She Were Pat Robertson
Review: This book was interesting, much the way night time soap operas are interesting: the events are so fantastic that you want to see what happens even though you don't give a damn about the characters. Ms. Cooper's tale reads like a miniseries on some christian TV station: all the good guys get rewarded and all the bad guys get punished - just like in real life, right??! She frequently lets us in on Satan's thoughts, and I know she knows that Satan is laughing about the lost time I wasted on this book. I'd have given it one star, but I did read the whole thing, and even if the devil made me do it, I figure that's worth an extra star.
