I loved this book as I found it to be a wife's story of daily life.  She shares her family happenings as well as her many meetings with women's groups and all the visitors of the White House and the Texas ranch.  She had to do a tremendous amount of entertaining.  She does not dwell on the politics other than how the times affected her husband and her daughters.  Her worries and concerns for her family are typical for a wife and mother.  I admire how she maintained a calmness through a difficult time in our nation's history. She was quite a great personality.

I loved this book. It broke my heart in some parts but it was a wonderful read & it really felt real. I was disappointed that we didn't find out what happened with Liam. It was like he really just dropped out of the book at the end.
Maybe Liam can get his own story told & still be friends with Heathe & Whit.

Wendell Berry's writing style speaks to me. His word choice and ability to help his reader visualize and "feel" are remarkable. The ending was so touching. I loved this book as much as I did Hanna Coulter. There was one lengthy story that was a bit slow for me; but in all, it was a wonderful book.

Will continue to read his books until I've read them all.

This book was truly excellent.  I see some people had trouble with the book being narrated by the 5 year old boy Jack, but it stopped bothering me a quarter of the way through, and although some will disagree, I truly feel the book would not be as good without his narration.  I usually don't read this type of book, so it was a pleasant surprise to have enjoyed it so much, even if it was hard to read at times (because of the dark material).  I am very close with my mother so this really hit home for me.  I laughed and cried, and now that I am finished reading it, I am truly happy I stumbled upon this book.

I really enjoyed this book as it made me read a few pages, put it aside, and think about what I had just read.  This book is not for those who have not read deep physics and/or math however.  That aside, this book presents issues that I had not heard about or thought about and this is coming from someone who has read a lot of astrophysics titles.

I loved this book for so many reasons. It takes a bitter man who feels useless, and done with life into a journey of learning about himself through a very odd and wonderfully different way. He is not the same person as he starts out to be. The characters he meets along the way completely change everything about him. It's not done "in your face" so it's off putting. It's written where you gradually see that although he is Death, he doesn't always follow the rules. He has a heart, soul and conscious that Death isn't supposed to have.

I was told about this book recently. I had not idea it was a sequel, but I figured it out myself when he started to introduce some very interesting and powerful characters. Though those characters aren't in the book long, you know their story is coming.

Highly recommend this wonderful read!

I loved this book, and I identified with the characters even though I am in a very different place in my life.  I laughed and I cried and I thouroughly enjoyed this book.  I highly recommend it.  It was a great story, but it started off a little slow.  Once you get past page 50, then it takes off.  I am so glad that I stayed with it.

I loved this book, and have recommended it to many.  In reading the story, I found myself wondering who would be the five people I would meet?  And why would they be significant?

A thought provoking, but easy read.  Its real value, to me,  is not so much what you are told about the characters but what the story invites you to explore.

I simply loved this book! I will admit that it was a little uninteresting during the beginning, but it was action packed right after. I loved the originality of the concept and loved the way that each character had their unique way of expression. I'm not going to spoil anything but I will say that it almost brought me to tears at certain parts of the story. Overall it was a great book and I definitely recommend it.

I really can't think of a book lately that I enjoyed as much as this one. I felt immersed in another world while reading it and dreaded when it would end. I miss the characters. I really feel unable to put into words why and how I found this book so affecting, other than observing that the romance and the horrors of war were depicted equally well.  I highly recommend it.

The title of this book attracted me, and once I opened the pages, I was unable to put it down. The author speaks about an old and new subject that leaves you with hope. You can't help but capture his innocence and sense of humor in his journey. This is a well written and captivating book. I highly recommend it as a must read.

I absolutely loved this book. The writing was fluid, the characters well rounded and personable, the story was great. At times, I was not entirely certain whether this was supposed to be a YA book so for whatever it's worth, I am nearing 60 and I loved this book and cannot wait for the sequel.

I loved this book.  It was wonderfully written and gave me a lot to think about.  I actually tried to read it a few years ago but couldn't get into it and I'm glad I gave it another try this time.  It was almost as good as A Fine Balance, which is saying a lot.  Wonderful book!

I really loved this book. It was an easy read and hard to put down as there are a lot of things in it I could personally relate to. I had a similar voice which I gave a different name and used it to explain to my family for why I did some of the things that I did. It is a book I will probably read again. It was not a book that I related to in adulthood but was interesting as I could see it in others. I felt smarter even though there were things in it that I had a hard time relating to. Thats part of what I think made it so intriguing to me as some of the issues hit a home run and some just made me think. Ive had very few books that I honestly believe made me more intelligent. This was one.
