Title: If this is Heaven, I'm not going. Review: I thought I would read this before purchasing Mitch Albom's more recent Time Keeper just to have some exposure to the author's writing. In a way, I'm glad I did. I have not read a more depressing story since Old Yeller, and that was a substantial number of books ago. While I get the comparison's to It's A Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol (and no, the book does not have anything to do with Christmas), this is a sad story about a sad man who lived a sad life. The fact that the people he meets in Heaven can help explain why, does not make it any less sad. I think I'll skip Time Keeper. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Its not a great cigar just good chewing tobacco Review: If you haven't read a Gabriel DuPre novel before, start with Coyote Wind. Pete Bowen's style/voice needs to age on the reader. While the venues of Montana are as dramatic as New Mexico Bowen's discriptions are basic compared to Hillerman's. Further, Dupre's dialogue couples both the spoken word and the true thought in one statement. The comparisons are delightful once you get use to the pattern. Lastly the plot is not a metaphysical as Hillerman but spirtuality isa definitive resource to Dupre. Profanity is too gratuitous for a sly character such as Dupre but that's the author's style. And if you have daughters, there is symphysis Is the review positive or negative?

Title: A GREAT BIO, A MUST-READ FOR ALL LUCY LOVERS Review: Very little has been written about William Frawley and Vivian Vance. As a life-long I Love Lucy fan, I was anxious to read their life stories. This book offers a full-bodied, three-dimensional portrait of the pair. I was fascinated to learn about their lives pre-and post-Lucy, and I loved the book's anecdotes, especially all those involving Frawley and Vance's mutual dislike and Vance's relationship with Lucille Ball.
