4.5– a delightful tale as usual from Sloan. great for book lovers. didn’t like the man of it all as much but it was pretty self aware.

Wonderful book with great strategies for waiting and being patient.

Used Library pass for museum which was excellent. Learned a lot about the Schuyler family, early Albany history and about life there on the 18th century. Thank you Bethlehem Public Library for this experience and so much more.

Book by a Native American.

An interesting record of Steinbecks observations, encounters with Americans, and his experiences as he travels cross country with his poodle, Charley, in his uniquely designed truck he named Rocinante. A nostalgic look at America as it was in 1962

Scary stuff. Hard to believe such ignorance and hate continues to breed.

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.

It was wonderful. I liked the part where Alex became a fairy Godmother even though she was young.

I really enjoyed this book. It tells the stories of black voices in the 50's. These events did happen and haven't been told. It makes you think of all forms of oppression.

This was a very interesting history of a local unsolved murder outside Troy in 1908. The case is still unsolved but after an extensive review of the known facts the authors put forth their suspect.
