Heartwarming and funny, A Song Called Home will take you into the life of Lou, as she goes on a journey of self discovery.

I liked this book. It didn't blow my mind, but I liked how it introduced this huge event at the beginning and then showed you how it built up the entire time. I liked how Reid explored all the characters and built their story as this cool interwoven thing while giving each character time and attention. The character development was probably what I liked the most about this book. Great book for taking to the beach!

Well I had high hopes but then I was disappointed by the lack of character depth.

An exciting book that keeps the reader hooked until the very end. The reader gets to see the inner feelings and turmoil of a mom who just knows what everyone else doesn't want to see. The ending made me want for more.

It was SUPER funny! I liked how Humphrey helped his class.

Third attempt at this review. An excellent guide for a visit to Nantucket; pricy but so much to do no matter the season or your age. If I win the lottery I would like to visit and: take the ferry, rent abike, see the lighthouse, visit the whaling museum, the old section, stay at the White Elephant, have a few lobster rolls and watch the sunset on the beach.

While a continuation of the Bill Hodges story (book 2 of 3) he doesn't enter into the story until the back-half. The front half is all set up; the theft of $20,000 and priceless manuscripts and subsequent murder of the reclusive author at the hands of a maniacal fanatic, the obsessive's subsequent arrest for an unrelated crime, and many decades later the discovery of the berried treasure, an apparent miracle in the eyes of a young man whose family desperately needs one. King methodically sets up all the dominos, and puts all the pieces in place, clearly foreshadowing the Rube Goldberg conclusion, but it is still an enjoyable ride. One can't help but feel like this novel is an tantalizing amuse bouche served between a particularly delicious appetizer and a potentially dubious entree; While this and the previous instalment have been straight thriller suspense (not mysteries per say as the audience knows the killers), the epilog hints that the third and final instalment will have more traditional Stephen King themes of ESP and/or supernatural horror.

I think this book is five stars because the author does an immaculate job of conveying the character's point of view. The book is little violent, and the author describes it in a great way. But the detail in this book gives an amazing visualization for the reader. Overall, It's a awesome book.

I wanted to love this book as science and faith and their intersections are where I "live". But this book plunged into the world of addiction so heavily, that I felt like I needed an Al-Anon meeting while reading it. I don't say that lightly because I highly appreciate 12-step recovery groups. I thought this leaned heavily into the coming-of-age issues of how to disengage from mentally ill parents and restrictive churches. Because it was a look-backwards POV, I thought Gifty, being a Stanford student, would be intelligent enough to seek out other places of worship and come to terms with (while not approve of) the cultural issues in churches. To condemn God because of a few people seems.....unwise and unfair. Do we want God to smite every bad action or actor? Wouldn't that include each one of us? This is the inherent tension in Christianity. How do we continue to love? The attempt for Gifty to discover the answers to depression and addiction seems laudable but naive. How many millions of people have hoped to do just that? Maybe working with God and maybe through 12-step groups could move the needle? Nonetheless,I learned a lot about Ghana, the daily pain of immigration, and the bigotry endemic in AL.

thought the book was funny
