Title: History That's Easy to Digest Review: I had previously read Williams' "Stoner" -- and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't know what to expect when he tackled an historical subject, but should have figured that he'd get the human aspect of it just right. That's exactly what he did. "Octavius" retells the story of the Roman Empire in the years of Octavius Caesar's reign, following the assassination of his adoptive father, Julius Caesar. The story is riveting -- well told through excerpts from the diaries, memoranda and missives of Octavius and many of his contemporaries. The characters are wonderfully drawn. A very easy and informative read. I have no idea if Williams' depiction of the title character's humanity and personality is accurate, but if so he was a remarkable ruler. I recommend this book highly. Is this product review negative?

Title: Hidden Riches is a gem Review: Hidden Riches is one of my favorite books, if I'm in the mood for a saucy romantic mystery this is the one I pull off the shelf.The growing romance between Dora Conrad and her anti-social tenant, former police lieutenant Jed Skimmerhorn is flirty, sexy and sweet.The mystery surrounding a purchase from an estate sale and menacing break ins of Dora's antique shop draw them closer and closer together despite themselves. The resolution of the mystery and romance are both satisfying.Nora Roberts' quirky, eccentric and endearing characters pull me into Dora and Jed's adventure every time. Closing the book is bittersweet. Is this product review negative?
