LOVED this book.. as I couldn't put it down as I wanted to know what happened around the next corner so to speak.. am not the best reviewer.. But this book is well worth the money you will spend on it.. and will leave you with a warmness in your heart and a smile on your face...

This book is a great thriller so long as you don't take it seriously.
The lifestyle advocated by the eco-group in this book is not sustainable given the current world population, and torture doesn't work.
Still, if you enjoyed The Da Vinci Code without taking it as TRUTH, you will enjoy this book for the thriller it is intended to be.
Read it, but don't take is seriously.
I believe global warming is man-made, but I believe terrorism always turns people against the cause . . . ligit or not. And this book implies that torture works. It doesn't.

It's a fun read and a good thriller. Enjoy, and hang on to your carbon neutral life-style, but do not take this book seriously.

I would recommend this book. Very interesting historical fiction. It was eye opening to me. Quick read and one I did not want to put down.

Am always excited to come across a free download, because it usually means I've found a new author whose follow-up books I'll purchase. Unfortunately, after reading "A Bride Most Begrudging," I'd be afraid to buy future Gist books in case they end the same way. For the first 90% of the novel, Gist created enchanting and believable characters, and made the readers care. Unfortunately, without giving away too much, the last 10% takes the tragedy of American settlers too seriously. I've looked up to see if Gist has written a follow-up novel, in hopes that more storylines get tied together, and from what I've seen it doesn't look like it.

I got hooked from the beginning. This series is an action packed romance with a fabulous butt kicking witch. What else could you ask for?

Lehane creates a wonderfully creepy sense of place. Twisty plot. Solid characters. "Shutter Island" is an absorbing and relentlessly fast read.

Though billed as historical fiction this was seriously lacking any historical relevance. I kept reading hoping it would get better but instead it got more fantastical. The plot revolves largely around the Booth family's acting and dysfunction and is heavy on quotes from plays. I was hoping to get some sort of biography on Asia Booth, but this book did not deliver. I know nothing more about Asia Booth than I did when I first sat down to read this.

Loved this book, full of suspense and even a little romance, Misty Evans outdid herself, the action packed story kept me turning the pages long after I should have been asleep.
Hope there is a followup on this story.

My first thought, is this a review link or a political blog? It amazes me how the liberals hate to have their opinions confused with facts. All, those socialist and marxist that rated this book a one star, did so because they hated the way the book presented facts with references and foot notes that do not support their anti American campaign. Here is a question for all you liberal socialist: What county is better than the U.S. that is socialist or Marxist. Think of the answer to yourself - got it- good, now go move there and get the hell out of America if you hate it so much. Good by and good riddance. Now as for the book itself. If you are interested in learning what they probably never taught you in school then I suggest this book, so you have a clear understanding of how we got here and what we need to do as Americans to keep this country great. The book states facts with plenty of footnotes and references, does not present opinions like the liberal communist love to use as talking points. If you are truly interested in the history of this country read this book. If you want to hear the same song over and over and over, watch Katie Couric or MSNBC and get your talking points so you can gel your uniformed opinions that you can regurgitate over your double soy milk latte with your comrades.

The depth and detail in the book is exceptional. The mystery was so well developed and the various angles were linked. Flowing from beginning to end without that typical brief wrap up in the last few chapters. Well written and very interesting.
