Refreshing and Interesting

This latest installment by the amazing John Vanderslice is nothing short of brilliant.  I bought this CD and can't stop listening to it.  He has inventive lyrics and multi-layerd melodies, consisting of string instruments (like the prominent presence of the cello in Dear Sarah Shu), synth sounds, pianos, guitars, and much more.

This CD is just what I needed.  The current onslaught of emo music is enough to make even the most sophisticated listener wish they were deaf, but this album provides a welcome reprieve from that world.

A definite must buy!

This book was refreshing and a good read.  Well done Dave.  I've always considered myself an orphan.  My parents although divorced passed away within a year of each other when I was in my early 20's.  My father left behind two young sons just like Dave and his "little" brother.  This was a refreshing and interesting book.  So, Dave didn't discover the cure for cancer or anything like that, but this book speaks of youth and survival, and most important is the true picture he paints of the relationship between two brothers.  I recommend this book.  HJK

This book was refreshing in that it was fresh and clean.  A short read that left you feeling good, it wasn't full of drama or foul language.  It told the story of love and loss without beating you over the head with details that are usually kept private.  I enjoyed the read.

With the exception of some grammatical errors, this book was refreshing and well written. The story was interesting and kept me intrigued until the end. There are dark relationships that are so very different from what you find in most paranormal books. The concepts, ideas, and understandings of the supernatural are fresh and intriguing. I would most definately recommend this novel, especially considering the price steal!

A fun and refreshing read.  The author's use of language is clever, delightful, and sometimes downright funny.  The plot moves right along, with insight into the world of business and takeover politics, bringing us to an unexpected and satisfying finish.  Of course, the plot is not without spice, but its affairs are handled discretely and with humor.  I would love to see this book turned into a movie!

I really enjoyed this book, it is refreshing to read a book that is good, and has no dirty words and as the title says interesting it kept me spellbound all the way the end.

I think the description on the front is pretty accurate. If you love stories, and they help you wrap your brain around scripture, theology, life etc, then this is a great book for you. It is refreshing and insightful - funny and unpretentious. I enjoyed every minute of it.

this was fresh and new as it didn't remind me of "another" book. I enjoyed the characters and their development as the story progressed. I will reread again down the road.

I really enjoyed this book.  For one thing, while the author used a subject we all have at least heard of (bigfoot), everything about this story is unique.  I found it so refreshing, and the book is anything but predictable.  I loved the characters and found I got more invested in the story the more I got to know them.  For me, the book wasn't a fast read, but I don't mean that as a bad thing.  The story is an adventure, but it also makes you ponder and goes deep. I recommend this book if you're interested in these legends, but also if you're looking for something that is different and refreshing.  I look forward to reading more books from this author.

I enjoyed this book.  I am a lover of history and this is an unique approach to telling a story of historical characters.  While the writing is somewhat different than your typical historical fiction, I found it refreshing and very readable, very no nonsense.  I loved the incorporation of mystical aspects into unknown details and events.  I thought it was a very clever approach and it encouraged me throughout the novel to understand what was fact and what was fiction.  As any historian knows, history is written through the eyes of the pen holder.  In this respect, Gregory takes all aspects of fact and fiction and incorporates them into her "version" of this period.  It is believable (as long as you do not have an extensive affinity for this time period.  As with all books which incorporate fact, if you are a lover of the "truth" and knowledgeable and defensive of the subject matter, this is probably not a book you would enjoy).  For me it was an adventure which led to curiosity.  While clearly not all true, it provided me with a better understanding of the cast of characters and an intrigue to learn more.

I am not a big reader of fiction, but this story is beguiling, humorous, and wonderfully refreshing.  The technique is very interesting and took courage, and I agree with other reviewers in that I felt as though I was  ease dropping.  Ms. Cook writes with verve and intelligence and is  respectful of the reader.  I found the book more amusing than side  splitting, but, then again, I am a guy.  I wish there was as much  acceptance of an unfulfilled husband's life as there is a wife's.  Good for  Claire for breaking through with a lovely, well written and developed story  and peculiar characters that are actually believable.

This is an all-around excellent book about life and living and people.  Very refreshing and well done in short story form and with appropriate illustrations and comments by the author.  And the word POSITIVE stands out.  I didn't see the word "courage" that I remember but it is surprising that the author could pull together these true stories of such good and courageous people. I'd call it uplifting; and I learned a little about politics too.  I'd read any sequel.
