Couldn't wait to get home and read it every night!

The story itself was maddening at times. Why were our troops sent into such a situation? Bowden did an amazing job 'glueing' together the many details from his interviews and studies of the many documents from the investigation into a timeline that provided several perspectives of each and every event. The politics driving the decision were illuminated. The personal stories from both sides were shared. His descriptions were so well done that I could see and hear the guys, the helicopters, the guns at times.
I hope I can find another book that's just as good!

This book is KILLING me!  I downloaded it a day or so ago, and figured I'd "save" it for when I finally drag myself to bed each night, around 2AM.  But once I get started reading, it's SO GOOD that I have to *force* myself to put it down and go to sleep!!  It's written so "colorfully" and gives a realistic picture of small town life in the South in the 40's.  My mom was from Southeastern Va, and I spent MANY weeks every summer with my Southern grandmother in her tiny rural town.  I had uncles who were farmers in a quaint little place where everyone knew EVERYONE, and everyone knew everyone's business!  This book is taking me back to those fun summers, and that "foreign" (at the time) way of life to me.  Now I live in the South, and it's not so foreign anymore.

I'm LOVING this book.  I'm forcing myself to put it down at night, both because I need to sleep, and because I DREAD the day it's finished!  I LOVE it!!

I love love love this book!! It may be 3am on Thanksgiving day but I devoured this book! Every single character just caught my attention and didn't let go. I feel like I almost had my heart ripped out and stomped on but it was replaced with joy and relief. Perfect start, great middle and an even better ending. Definitely a must read! From Spider to Rose to Oscar, youll love every one... well, Spider eventually, haha. Fantastic read to end my night.

This will be a book I know that will devour my weekend and that's a great thing!  After having stopped reading after a graduate program took the love of reading away from me; I know have a new reason to start reading again.  This book had me after the first page and I can't put it down!

I've been looking forward to this one my TBR list for a while (too long--my TBR is getting away from me!). It absolutely did not disappoint. I was sucked in and read it in a single day. The story is heart-rending and definitely dark, but there's splashes of humor here and there that help light the way. Possibly the best part was the great characterization. Each of the characters were very well fleshed out and leapt off the page. Even in the darkest situations, I could understand motivations and found myself cheering Audrey on, while seriously loathing a few of the Facebook Fifteen. Damanda doesn't shy away from the extremely tough subjects in this novel--suicide, bullying, punishments--but it works well and is very authentic. I highly recommend this, and the next two books in the series are high on my list!

I stayed up all night reading this - couldn't put it down! Terrific characters, especially oldest and youngest siblings - like four intersecting books in one, linked by a very intriguing premise. The fourth really hit home for me, and brought tears to my eyes for all of us who've walled ourselves off from pain.

I wouldn't normally have purchased this, but it was a free download for Kindle.  I am so glad I did!  Read it last night, and am hooked!  I pretty much loved everything about it.  A young girl that has had a less than desirable life learns that she is "special."  Mentor/neighbor Kizzy has always known this, and gifts Allie with the Moonstone.

The underlying messages in this book were phenominal.  Make good choices - regardless of your situation in life, we should all make decisions we can live with tomorrow.  Stay true to your real friends - they will always be there for you when you need them.

Local bad boy becomes a hero in this book, and I look forward to seeing more of him helping Allie in future escapades.  Excellent read - I'm off now to purchase the second!

I really need to go home from work, but I will tell you that I read this book within 24 hours of arrival.

I loved this book! I couldn't put it down and read the whole book in one evening. I look forward to reading it many more times, since Lisa's book has given me a nuanced and comforting way to look at my own concept of home (not a simple concept in a nomadic life).

Love at the Speed of Email seamlessly blends letters and memories with gorgeous, urgent, present-tense storytelling. I've been a longtime fan of Lisa's blog and loved learning more about how she and Mike found their way to one another, through letters and stories and big questions.

This book is an ideal choice for a long plane ride, a book club, or a lazy afternoon at "home" (whatever that means).

Buy this book!

I loved the dialog in this novel, it was so witty and yet realistic.  The characters were fleshed out and it took me back in time in such a way I felt like it was there.  The more I read the more difficult it was to put down.  I think it could become a Christmas classic and actually a perfect Christmas gift for Christmas' to come!  Can't wait for the next book!

I always enjoy your books and this one did not disappoint! I had to force myself to put it down and go to work! As it was, I stayed up late reading it, but was happy to come home and finish it! Can't wait for the next book!

I am obsessed with the tricks and secrets in this book - it has quickly become my nightly read before I go to sleep. I also love how uplifting and fun it is because Molly is so self deprecating when describing her own "road blocks" in love and life. Definitely a must read!

I enjoyed this book so much.  Every night before I go to sleep, I read my current novel and I couldn't wait to read more about the characters every evening.  The author really made them seem real to me.  I got involved in the story of Tempy and what was going on in her life; I was pulling for her the whole way through!  I loved that she was a heroine of the Victorian time but she has a really modern  sensibility.  Can't wait to read more from Sheridan!

I missed work today because of this book. I downloaded it at 4:00 am because I couldn't sleep and needed a new book to help me fall back into slumber land.  Wrong book to d/l!!  Not only did I not go back to sleep, I stayed home and finished the book.  Fast-paced and witty.  Can't wait for the next offering from Mitty.

Last night I stayed up late finishing this book!  What a delightful town with the kind of population I would love to live with!  What fun people, events, situations, and relationships!!!  I loved the renovation storyline, having been through that myself, and Susan's relationship with her father - and her learning to get out of her comfort zone and trying to do something which was very difficult for her.  I'd like directions so I can go visit this town!!!!  What fun!  Good people abound!  PLEASE KEEP THE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES COMING!  I can't wait to read more!  I feel like I know (and love) these people!

Riveting. I couldn't put the book down and lost a bit of sleep the night I got it, but it was totally worth it! The witty sarcastic voice I first fell in love with in Erin Keyser Horn's earlier works continues to make her characters relatable to me. I loved getting lost in Kasia's world, if only for a night.

This book does not get into gore or sex, so I was totally fine with my 13 yr. old reading the series (he also loved it).  Definitely a keeper for my bedside bookshelf and one I will be re-reading!

I love love love this book and I totally want to move to Nocturnal Falls. I found this series by accident and I am so very glad that I did. I thought I would read a chapter or two before bed one night and low and behold I ended up staying up way to late to read the entire book!  Kristen has a way of pulling you totally into this book. I am so excited  to continue reading this series!
