Love this one! And wow, does it bring back my own chaotic childhood... (and it's going for a SONG.)

Love this one! Unsentimental non-stop action with a strong moral foundation.

The stark aloneness of growing up radically different from the rest! Hits you like a bag of bricks. But Georgia STAYS STRONG.

A sheer literary tour de force. You are right THERE with Georgia in that inept hospital. I was mesmerized at first by the book but had no clue of the sheer horror that was about to blow the lid off it!

It's a real page-turner, alright. The fires of pain intensify and Georgia bravely bears them. I"m hooked. You Go, American Girl!!!

Dynamite!

A Sure FIVE STARS! This is YOUR Story, Along with All its Pain.

Now, after a necessary break, I return to the Memories that Made the Protagonist - Memories of Raw Trauma, that Unmade and Remade me as well. Night has fallen with a thud. The only known cure for it - as Jan Karon says - is Somewhere Safe with Someone Good! May we all find that safety.
Bravo, Georgia!

Love it!

Just got to the paranormal part - fascinating!

At first I was alarmed by faults in Ms Sanchez' translation, but now I see she has done us all an invaluable service - she has captured the magical moods of Hermann Hesse's early stories. They are wonderful! It is, however, important to realize that some words are garbled and personal pronouns are confused - but if you want a chance to read some captivating stories, with effort - for $3 you'll get this Kindle book!

Super funny Cozy Mystery, tailor made for seniors like me!

What a riveting read. It grabs you by your lapels and SHAKES YOU UP BIG TIME!

Ladies and Gents, here is the First and Foremost Nominee for Fergus' Seniors-Lighten-Up-and-LAUGH-Again Award for 2022: SENIOR MOMENTS ARE MURDER by Mike Befeler (jot that name down - you're gonna need it as an antidote to your own pesky Mood Indigos, if you're like me)!
I kid you not. This book'll get ya rocking' and reelin' again in NO time.
You see:
This Geezer's mind gets blanks that can somehow DO FOLKS IN!

Love these cozy geezer mysteries about the eternally forgetful (shades of yours truly?) octogenarian Paul Jacobson!

I have been waiting for this one for years! It inspired the 1940 cinematic classic, starting Bette Davis as Henrietta and Charles Boyer as the duke. FINALLY out in Kindle!

This time - the AUDIOBOOK! Sheer listening pleasure...

In this early novel Orwell's prose is already sharp as a gimlet!

A WONDERFUL Happy-Sad Novel - full of PURE HUMAN JOY! Five stars.

This beautiful book is like a magical prism - breaking white sunlight apart into multiple colours - and into the multiple POV's of the many (by now loved and familiar) searching characters who populate its pages!

A remarkable look at the changes transcranial stiumulation can produce in the brain. But to me the book is a bit too overloaded with tech talk, and lacks moral substance, in my opinion.

I was wrong last night. This is NOT a new Christian novel for teens. It is a new Christian novel - with a knock out punch - for mature YA readers and their parents trying to make peace with their past, and see their way THROUGH their guilt trips over Deep Family Secrets. A FIVE STAR book for sure! And a truly brave book.

EXCELLENT!!!

This radiant little romance novel - perfect for young Christian millenials - is really.quite wonderful! I am really enjoying it. It is an affordable book that's Brand New!

This beautiful autobiography gives me the immediacy of her life as it happens as a kid - recalled with the same kinda episodic memories I am blessed with. It is the vibrancy of a remembered teen's life AS IT HAPPENED.

Some books are so weird that they remind me of my life as a child - uncertain in a world of immovable adult certainties, lost in space like young Georgia - I don't wonder that the adult world had to jerk me out of my reverie into the real world of my own adulthood in quiet nightmares. I still don't know if the latter explained the former, or vice versa, but this book gives me both! A work of genius.

Uh… oh. A Big WOW. This Gal’s destined to be HUGE! I kid you not - Just READ her.

Watch out, Ludmilla Petrushevskaya - America’s got your equal as a challenger for your title of the literary world’s tutelary Dark Anima!

Friends, this is Phenomenal writing.
