The beginning of the plot is utterly unnecessary: 09/11/2001 had happened in the past... To Never Happen again in USA. Even on a smallest scale ! A widowed woman and a widower meet accidentally in a High-rise luxurious place to live. She - only a few days ago for the change of scenery and deep-rooted memory of her loving devoted husband, and he-for much the same reason already living in his suite for awhile . Fate would have them become neighbors sharing same wall and adjoining terraces. And they inevitably become good friends, sharing almost identical life tragedies, family ties and great vitality and intellect. And their connection grows and blooms as it should in a good-ending fairy-tail story. The language is far from eloquent, with repetition and skinny vocabulary, unfortunately and unnecessary tragic beginning that doesn't contribute much substance to the story.
The details in this book are amazing, even better than the movie. (Can't change my mind, bud.) I could read this book a million times and never get tired of it. Me and a friend like to talk about it together because we've read the book and watched the movies. We are currently trying to get a copy of the second book! But anyways, love it!
The plot is wonderful, despite the relevance to current times and abundance of unrealistic opulence ! The characters of the young ladies just "coming out" in High Society are wonderfully rendered ! But the vocabulary, grammar and style of writing is so poor that at times, the reader feels totally neglected and even-abused to a measurable extent... It's hard to know whom to blame-the elderly writer or the advisory board on the auditing staff.
The recipes are O.K., funky mostly and not super healthy, but the book of stories of family's histories and bios and many of their co-workers is awesome and inspiring. And with so many classy wonderful photos it's a treasure to read and to browse !
Somewhat scary and perhaps, non-science-based writing. I do not recommend following its advice and reasoning.
I'm surprised that David would star in a movie as mundane as this one. Very boring. Not impressed AT ALL
A very nice humanly-relevant story of the life of the most beautiful nationally-known, well-versed and highly educated TV Host Mrs. Shannon Bream. Looking at her and listening to her delivering news stories on FOX News is utterly impossible to guess that beyond that facade is the woman with such an extraordinary experience of physical and emotional pain... But who has and had always had such a "normal"vision and desire for a love of good solid people(including her honorable husband) and people around her. Whom she had given all of herself, but also had received fully of themselves "unto" her, as well . Her book is a must read for all of us.
A beautiful story about the importance of timing, but ultimately, about the changes we experience as human beings and how love is a choice to embrace those changes.
Absolutely loved this story! The magical system set up was easy to follow. Loved the pacing and style of writing, and I absolutely adored the slow burn that was added amid the mystery of this world.
