| Loved it! The audio version has to be the best, with various actors reading for sections of the book which are 'authored' by different characters. If you're a reader who likes the interconnected feeling some books bring about, when characters, story,...more | |

| My mom suffered from Altzheimers disease. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand what a person who has the disease goes through. Well written, with plenty of heart-felt lines to keep the reader turning pages. My one complaint...more | |

| Great read, great audio book, by the talented Ann Patchett. She created an incredible sense of time and place, a believable plot, interesting characters, and wrote with her usual sense of lyrical prose. What a master. | |

| Written by the same person who authored 'Cloud Atlas,' this novel, despite the many good reviews, felt out-of-sync to me. The reader was great on the audio version, and yet there were frequent confusions for me regarding characters, scenes, etc. It w...more | |

| Excellent midgrade or primary, non-fiction read or read-a-loud. Hilary Hyland's THE WRECK OF THE ETHIE is well-written, informative, and also a real page-turner. The story takes place in 1919 and centers around an amazing true story about a steamship...more | |

| TOWN RED is a fun read. Jennifer Moss has written an entertaining, page-turning mystery with great dialogue, likeable characters, and a believable love story. I'm ready for Book Two!! | |

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”

Hi Debbi:Thanks for your comment, and also for the great review. RIDING INVISIBLE is one of those 'books from the heart.' I grew up with a brain-damaged younger brother, much different from Will, but who suffered from childhood-onset-schizophrenia. This enabled me to embody the character of Yancy, partly because as a kid, horses were my great escape.
This book makes me think you have been through some of the things you wrote about in Riding invisible. I have ,and your writing rings so true!
Hi Angie: Nice to be your goodreads friend too!
