Well...this was different. No chapters. It was a sad book. Just when you thought it would turn out well.... ]]> <![CDATA[Patty added 'Three Weeks with My Brother']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65115766 to: Three Weeks with My Brother (Paperback) by Nicholas Sparks
bookshelves: biography
This memoir written by Nicholas Sparks is truly an inspirational read. Any of you who love his books will love this candid, sweet and often heart-wrenching account of his life and the relationship with his brother and the insights he reveals about his life. A fascinating read. I read it straight through. As a second born child in a family of four children I could relate to the feelings he revealed about his status as second born in his family. I have a new respect for the works of Nicholas Sparks. I've read many of his books and seen the movies made from them. A wonderful author and wonderful human being. ]]> <![CDATA[Patty added 'The Shipping News : A Novel']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64498451 to: The Shipping News : A Novel (Mass Market Paperback) by Annie Proulx
Very different. A great lesson in descriptive writing, but for my taste a bit over done. Great characters. Her style is unique and a bit jolting. She really captures the essence of life in the rock and ice of Newfoundland. Am interested in seeing how the movie plays. ]]> <![CDATA[Patty is on page 200 of The Shipping News :... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64498451 Patty is on page 200 of 368 of The Shipping News : A Novel ]]> <![CDATA[Patty Wiseman responded to an event]]> http://www.goodreads.com/event/show/48477-wordvessel-book-giveaway WordVessel Book Giveaway Patty said "yes" to attending the event: WordVessel Book Giveaway.
