I didn't realize how much I'd missed Bombeck's wit until I let 40 years pass before reading her work again! At Wit's End is a delightfully humorous and witty look at a year in the life of a housewife. Foibles, fits, fury, desperation, love, wisdom and heart all rolled into Bombeck's signature style. Perfect for anyone needing a lift to their day!
This one raised my blood pressure! Pulse pounding cat and mouse action keep Eve and Roarke on their toes from beginning to an oh so satisfying end!! Great read!
A simple, yet powerful story. Told in a mostly expository manner with, it seems at first glance to be detached, but it's that detachment that packs the punch! Don't know why Adrienne Kennedy's work isn't more well know!
I'm sure seeing a production of this would be amazing, however as far as the script itself goes, it's molding interesting, but there's no dramatic tension. With so little dialogue it reads more like a lecture than a play. I did find it interesting because I knew nothing about the history of Lehman Brothers, so I don't regret reading it, but is it a play? Meh.
It's been ages since I've read a Baldacci book, and I don't know why-they are so good! Simple Genius starts off with a bang and takes off like a rocket and the reader just has to hang on for a thrilling, twisted ride! Great thriller, great plotting, great read!
An unflinching look at family-who's on top, who's on the bottom. The whole play is a game of the 3-Card Monte: which brother is the winning card, which the losing. It can change at any moment, you have to keep you're eyes on the players. An ending that will leave you breathless. Suzan-Lori Parks' work is astonishing!
