Summer Lightning 2 reviews

Harpercollins (Mm), 1993
Fabulous first novel of an author destined for fame
Summer Lightning is a great love story as well as being a spooky thriller. The writing makes all the events seem so very possible. Especially the nerdy neighbor! Read it soon because the author is bound to appear on Oprah!

College Life 101: The Reunion (Campus Life 101 , No 6)1 review

i really enjoyed it!!!
This was a great book. It shows how friends change when miles and time have seperated them. Excellent! I really thought that Kim should have gotten with Zara's brother, Aaron, but I understand her reasoning. She didn't want to get hurt.

Berkley Books, 1998
good book
Could one girl's life be more depressing? Allie's living at home because her parents are too poor to send her to college, she's overweight, she can't get a date, and her brother has a tumor! Poor girl. And I thought my problems were bad. I really like this book, and this whole series, though. It's good and realistic!

You won't be able to put it down!
This was a great book. It's the first one I've read by this author, but it won't be the last. I picked it up on a whim because the cover copy made reference to Mary Higgins Clark. I enjoyed this book more than hers. I thought the present tense style would bother me, but it really didn't. I think it made it more suspenseful.

Turning Seventeen, #6: This Boy Is Mine2 reviews
Wendy Corsi Staub
Parachute Press (NY), 2001
One of Many Great Books
Once again, the authors of the "Turning Seventeen" have done it again. They managed to write a 6th outstanding book. "This Boy is Mine" was one of my favorites though. This one touches way to close to home for me. Just like them I had a clique of friends and I started having troubles with one of my friends and before I knew it they were all making plans without me. We are all back together ...

Great book!
This was my first book by Staub and really got me hooked on the author. The author wrote in present tense, which was different than what I was used to, but have really grown to love. It makes the book so much more exciting and heart pounding. The storyline was believable and the characters were fully developed. I really enjoyed every page. The ending really caught me by surprise, as a great ...

Satisfying, Well-Written Horror Novel
This is a wonderful, perfect horror novel written by a very talented author.
The book starts off telling about teenage girls in the small town that have mysteriously disappeared ten years ago. Rory, who had been away from home for a while, returns to her home to take care of her 13-year-old sister Molly and aging mother while her brother takes a trip to Europe. Even though it had been 10 years ...

Jessica is Dazzling
I loved this book. It was one of my favorite Turning Seventeen copies. Jessica got into some trouble, but finally did the right thing to get out of it.I think she is one of the best girls in this series. She has a lovely way of making everything turn out. She has to do so much, but still has time to do it and be with her friends. She's like Wonder Woman, but as an almost seventeen year old girl, ...

good book!
I really liked this book. It was very good. Bridget is kind of stupid, though. Trying to hide her little sercet flame for Will from her friends. They'll figure it out eventually, I'm sure. But I'm not really sure what I would do in her shoes either.

An all-too-real look at mental illness.
Wendy Corsi Staub has done a wonderful job portraying the effects of mental illness on a teenage girl and her family. This book should be required reading for all teens (and pre-teens) and their families.

Lily Dale: Believing
My 12 year old couldn't put the book down. At some points she couldn't read it after it got dark because it was so chilling! She said she still enjoyed it very much. And also said that she would recommend it to anyone and everyone that she knew. She is definetely looking forward to Lily Dale: Connecting.

This is the first book I have read by this author. I couldn't put it down! I was riveted till the end and did not figure out who the murderer was until the very end. I will definitely read more by this author in the future. 476 pages and I read it in 3 days! I absolutely recommend this book...don't pass it up!!!

Loved it!!
My cousin, and best friend, read this book last summer. She finished it in a week then lended it to me. She assured me I'd like it and sure enough she was right. Although the beginning was a little boring, I'd still give it 5 stars. Staub keeps the reader at the edge of their seat and making sure the doors and windows are locked. When you find out who the killer is, you'll think "Why didn't ...

WOW....Just WOW
I've read all of her books and except for "Dearly Beloved" I've found them all to be amazing. The first book I read was "Lullaby and Goodnight" and the only reason I bought it was because the cover looked interesting:)))))) I got hooked on her books right away. And I can't wait for the new one to come out in April I believe. Read her books, you won't be disappointed.

Obsessed?
Wow, skimming reviews I noticed quite a few of my fellow(ess) reviewers seemed quite harsh towards this title. Now I am reviewing the novel, not other reviews, but felt it neccessary to say one thing. It looked like the biggest complaint was this title's lack of originality. Luis Jorges Borges believed everything has been written, and to an extent I agree. It is incrasingly hard for an author to ...

Pretty cool book!
The Family Album is a good book for Party of Five fans. It got listings of things viewers don't see on TV like love letters of Justin and Julia and the menu at the Salinger's. Basically perfect for fans who want to scoop out every detail.
