Oh, I loved this book - I do wish I knew a little more about the bible because I so enjoyed Russell's take on what I was familiar with - if that makes sense.  Anyway, it was nice to have such an interpretation.  I was wandering around, trying a little of this book and a little of that book but unable to settle on any of them when I asked for a sample of this book - then read it almost in one sitting.  Thanks Russell and Wheeler!  I had a great time.

I am not very conservative, I am nowhere close to orthodox but I didn't that that put me off for reading this book. I have read dozens of recover books, Taub brings a unique perspective to the topic. I found myself wishing that the book would not end- I found myself wishing that he would put out another book. I can not wait to see what else he writes in the future.

A wonderful book- I wish there was an audio book, I would buy that as well.
Laura Day is thankfully as gifted in writing as she is in her intuitive skills.

I loved this book! I have been in love with the Gregorian Chants since I was a kid, and I love how Ms Penny used them as the background of this novel. Because I know little of monastic orders, I could suspend my disbelief and just read, and enjoy this story.

That said, I must also state I found the ending somewhat abrupt and less than satisfactory, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. There were unanswered questions asked in this book that I hope will be answered in the next one. I am still reeling from the tragedy in the warehouse, and now I must contend, at least until I read #9.

When I read fiction, I want to feel better when I finish the book than when I started it. I do not have that with this book. I will continue the series, because she has made me care for the characters, and I want to get all the loose ends tied up in a pretty ribbon by the end.

Loved this book!  Not only are the characters great and grab your attention but the story line as well was good.  I wished I could jump into the book and slap some of these people lol. But I do wish there was another book...is there going to be another one?  I would love to read about some of the other characters

I love this book. It is the book I wish I had written. You can sometimes tell it's written by someone who is not really a software development "native", but the economics and the Big Picture collaboration/cooperation stuff is spot on (and that's the whole point of this book, so...). I put little sticky notes on some of the pages because they were so pleasant to re-read. I had the sense that I was experiencing little epiphanies - perhaps these were just as the author intended. Get this book if you want a high-level, Big Picture coverage of the impact of open source and an overview of the relevant historical developments. -megan

I loved this book, I really did. The idea for it was so novel that it grabbed me from the first page and whisked me all the way to the end. The only thing that bothered me was probably the stupidest reason: the book ends immediatly after the best part and here I am, waiting for my library to get the book which probably won't be until next year when I'll have to wait ANOTHER year for the third.

I want to know what happens darn it! I highly recommend this book, but perhaps wait until all of them are out and read them in a marathon.

What a terrific book. I felt like I knew the characters from the moment I picked it up - and I couldn't put it down. I wish she would write a sequel. Definitely special to me. Would make a great summer or anytime read - could even see this as a movie.

I absolutely loved this book! The way the friendship evolved between the three main female characters was expertly done. Enough romance, suspense, & humor to keep me hooked until I was finished with the book. I'm only giving this book 4 stars because of the fact that its advertised as the first book in a series but I can't find any info anywhere about when the other books will be released or if they even will be. I'm super bummed that I can't read more about these fascinating characters and really wish I had taken my time reading this book so that I could enjoy this fabulous world a little longer.

Loved this book so much, but there's a but ...  I bought it for myself (am 60+) because I love bears and fluffies and the photos in the sample were really cute ... The pics across the whole story are just adorable and the writing is great (actually really funny in places considering it's for little kids who may not get the humour). The ending wasn't what I was expecting - it's a cliff-hanger so obviously there's another book coming - which made me feel a bit 'consumerised' in that I'm being pushed to 'buy into' a series. Clever marketing ploy - but to me it took a bit of the love out of an otherwise enchantingly old-fashioned and very endearing book - which is why I only graded it 4 stars and not 5. If the authors get to read this, then offering the knitting patterns might be a better 'buy in' idea than ending a book with a non-ending. Just sayin'.

Really good book! I wish I knew others who had read it, so that I could discuss! Can't give more details, don't want to spoil anything :)

I absolutely loved this book.  I loved how the characters developed throughout the story.  It was a book that I couldn't put down till I had finished it.  After the ending, I found myself wishing there was more to read.  This one could have a sequel, I do believe!

I totally loved this book.  I've read many, many 'popular physics' books, by extremely qualified Physicists - but this one tops them all.  I don't think I've ever laughed so much, when reading a book of this genre.  I felt quite sad, when I finished the book, as I didn't want it to end.  Amanda has the gift of being able to explain very complex issues and ideas, in a very amusing fashion.  Other people have explained the content of this book, so I won't re-hash those details.  But I just felt compelled to record a 5 star rating (I would have given it 6 stars, if that had been an option) as it is such a good read.

I absolutely LOVED this BOOK...I'm so sorry that it took me so long to devour this WONDERFUL read...The only thing I hate about it is that I was not there with the Boy so I could experience all that he did...And for that I am truly disappointed...:)
