Comment:
Thoroughly enjoyable and beautifully written, Maya Angelou chronicles her life with humour and tragedy - it is a reminder of how human beings can be so cruel.

A very nice read that chronicles the journey of two American women who are entrusted with delivering the news - either through the mail or through the radio during World War II. A good introduction into how the Germans began the quiet exile of Jews out of Germany and how they were left in the cold by other countries unwilling to help.A very nice read that chronicles the journey of two American women who are entrusted with delivering the news - either through the mail or through the radio during World War II.

A great read that tells the story of a variety of unrelated characters living in LA. Every chapter is introduced by an interesting fact about L.A. The writing is style is very fast paced - you can hear the cynicism in the writer's voice that reflects the hard, driving life in the big city.A great read that tells the story of a variety of unrelated characters living in LA.

A great book club read as it sparked some lively discussion (and judgement) about what a woman should or should not give up to follow her passion. A good insight into life in the early 1900's for women and the life of Frank Lloyd Wright.

I liked this book - the cover leads you to believe that the book will cover the "slap" incident through the eyes of those attending the party, but more than that, it provides a window into the reasons why each person viewed the incident in the way they did and how they relate to the other characters.I liked this book - the cover leads you to believe that the book will cover the "slap" incident through the eyes of those attending the party, but more than that, it provides a window into the reasons why each person viewed the incident in the way…
