The saga of the Hale twins
353298
Patsy Dorris Hale has written a very "must read" book.  All true since she lived it and her deep faith in God
And the love they had for each other brought her through it.  There needs to be a sequel since there is still a
lot more to be written.  The Hale twins were notorious in Fort Worth for fighting and for being two of the best
looking men God ever created.

The story of the twins Emma and Isobel continues on a much happier vein because they reconnect. The search for their biological father takes some unusual twists as well as does Emma's life. A very good and well written story.

I am an identical twin. I've enjoyed reading about the sisters in Saraban for Two Sisters. The best in the series this far.

This is the second book of the Kinship and Courage series. I enjoyed continuing the saga of the characters from the first book and seeing what happened next in their lives. I would highly recommend it.

These 3 brothers and their meddling father are adorable.  I just wonder what ever happened to Wilson?  Seemed like there was a story there...

Hale does it again! A beautiful story of honor, duty, love, and courage. About mid-story, I thought it was beginning to sound a bit like Hale's other work, The Goose Girl, but luckily that didn't last long. The characters were written very well and their relationships felt real. I love how Shannon isn't afraid to tackle the obvious problem. It drives me crazy when main characters do things that no one would really do in real life. (You know when you're yelling at the book, Just tell him you love him already!!!) This book, just when I felt like saying something like that, the main character stepped up. I loved it as much or more than The Goose Girl. Great job Shannon Hale!

It starts out introducing the charactors. When I got them all straight, the story was pretty gripping.  Genet is a total Delila.
Twins are as complicated as per twins are.  A good story.

I love the story line in this book allowing the reader to see more of who the oldest sister, Adore, is.  I wish there was more of the other sisters in the book but it is a perfect preparation for book 7.

Excellent book!! This book is a continue of the story from book one--Outview--- and leads in very good but you need to read book one first or may be lost for a while till you can figure out whats going on. Beware this book leads into book three--Outmove--- which is a continuance of this book that you will also want to read so you can get the rest of the story.
All in all this is a very good and interesting book to read and will surely make you want to read more of the saga.

It was so much fun reading their stories in this book.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  You got to really get to know these two people in this book.  You met them in other books in this series but you really got to know them in this one.  Great story.  I loved it.

A story of two sets of twin sisters who started life identically but found their paths divergent. Heartaches, unexpected strengths, calamities, compromises, and joys - all part and parcel of life - cannot do one thing: sever their love for one another.

Started slowly but became totally engrossing as the lives of the Trumans, both Harry and Bess, progressed.  Bess is not very well known other than to be remembered for the time she was apart from Harry.  Margaret Truman provides an insight to her Mother's life, burdens, happiness, etc.  Very worth reading and informative.  Also reminds you of HST's many contributions to our history and well-being.

What a beautiful story this is :-) I love this book. I cannot wait for the next series. I love how Hale is always there for his bestfriend Andrew's sister April. Their chemistry is undeniable. I am glad that she did not marry Mason :-)

"Deceptions" was the first of two books about identical twins Sabrina and Stephanie. On a lark, they switch places and are unaware of all the heartache and turmoil it will cause. "A Tangled Web" is not a stand-alone book, but the sequel which continues the where "Deceptions" left off. This is a good book, as far as sequels go, but the story gets a little contrived and outlandish in places. Some of the complex problems are resolved too easily and unrealistically. I enjoyed the portions of the book that concentrated on antiques, art, design, and the Provence area of France.

I liked the main characters, especially Garth. That man deserves a gold star for what he is put through! Sabrina is the most confident of the twins, but is almost too perfect and seems to fall into the role of mother way to easily. Stephanie is the more dependent twin and becomes almost too much of a "head-case" toward the end of the book. This may be the author's attempt to show a paradox that no matter how close identical twins are, they can have very contrasting personalities. I guess the moral of the story is to be satisfied with what you have and that envy can have heartbreaking results.

If you liked Deceptions, I would recommend reading this sequel.

I loved this book which tells the saga of 2 branches of one family over a period of 250 years. One family branch is in Ghana and one in the US and each chapter alternates between the two countries and continuing the story of the familys next generations. I wished I could continue to read more about each of the characters livesvery compelling writing.

The book (#5) starts slower than the other books and it took me a few chapters to get into it.  The dialogue at first seemed unlike our characters.  Blomkvist's behavior toward Lizbeth seemed paternal for the first time..The story about Holger Palmgren, Lizbeth's champion, is particularly moving.
Research like the twin research no doubt happened.  The survival of both Lizbeth and one of the twins probably would have gone awry, but I was pleased and surprised by the happy resolutions.  Less good than the other 4 books but well worth reading.  It's a pleasure to be with these great characters again!

I recommend reading all of Shannon Hale's books beginning with Goose Girl.  They are great for young adults readers as well as adults.
