Adult Summer Reading Program Book Comments

One of my favorite parts of coordinating the ASRP is reading what the participants have to say about the books they have read.
Enlightening and entertaining.

Duchess of Fifth Avenue by Ruth Ryan Langan
"Get out the Kleenex - this story will have the tears flowing - a touch of My Fair Lady without the sarcastic Rex Harrison hero. This hero is an utterly charming Duke and you'll love the determination and guts of the Duchess!"

The Royal Families of Europe by Geoffrey Hindley
"Good, but not 100% accurate."

A Distant Tomorrow by Beatrice Small
"Great Fantasy!"

Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
"Haven't read the novel since high school - a great re-experience."

The Cultured Handmaiden by Catherine Cookson
"A delightful book - great twists."

Reckless by Shannon Drake
"I really liked it. Fast moving and action-packed. The female lead was great."

Count Down by Iris Johansen
"Solid thriller."

Ice Queen by Alice Hoffman
"Unusual story."

Chicks with Sticks by Elizabeth Lenhard
"Made me want to knit!"

The Edible Garden by Hazel White
"This is so good - really good."

Beyond Band of Brothers by Richard D. Winters
"Very realistic account of elite paratroopers."

Consent to Kill by Vince Flynn
"This book was written as well as all of his others. Although it seems like this is the end of this series, I am hoping he continues it."

Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis by Jimmy Carter
"So excellent, you need to put where everyone will see it and read it."

Vanished by Karen Robards
"Kept me coming back to read more. I enjoy her writing style."

Love with a Scandalous Lord by Lorraine Heath
"Hot stuff."

My Perfectly Imperfect Life by Jennifer Archer
"It made me think how strong and how powerful sisterhood is."

Company: A Novel by Maxx Barry
"Awesome. Funny. Quirky."
