A comparação que um dos críticos fez, entre o Michael Baron e o Nicholas Sparks, não é de todo despropositada. O livro tem, de facto, um enredo tipicamente Sparksiano. Felizmente, é um pouco mais profundo do que isso. Ainda não assim, não foi o suficiente para me cativar. Além de uma obsessão óbv...
When I saw this book at a thrift store, I was hesitant to buy it. It sounded like it could be a very, very sad book to read. But I decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did. I LOVED this book! One reviewer said that he couldn't get into the main character. I didn't have that problem at ...
I really loved this story. The description as found on Good Reads really does justice to the story. I did read the story really quickly and it took me a while to figure out what was going to happen at the ending. I loved how he tied all the ends up in a great bow that I would truly love to belie...

Those questions are explored in Michael Baron's book "Anything." And probably what allowed me to give this book a three sta...
I understand that this mini-sequel was meant to be a heartwarming holiday tale. I loved these characters from When You Went Away so I was eager for more. This cheesy, schmaltz-fest was definitely not what I had in mind. Notably. Gerry is not the narrator and because of that the story has lost it'...
I sat on the floor with my back propped up against the wall with my Eric Clapton poster and spent the next hour trying to get him to tell me how it had happened and why. Chase offered soliloquies and babbling, but no cogent reason other than to take full, regretful responsibility for it. Since he...
I simply couldn’t stay at home anymore. I believe it’s a common feeling for people to think their worth comes from their job, and unfortunately, it did for me at least until I made enough money for that fabulous early retirement. Now, I just wanted back in before I was pushed out for good. I just...
Rochelle Krick, the bankruptcy trustee, was alone at counsel's table, seated erect, facing the judge's bench, her color-coded accordion files on the table before her. Hirsch was in the front row, his trial bag on the floor at his feet as he leafed through his notes for today's debtors.The gallery...
A salad of thinly sliced candy-striped beets would be a much better starter than the truffled chickpea soufflé she had originally been planning, especially since tonight’s entree was duck breast. Fortunately, the staff wouldn’t have started on the prep for the soufflé yet.  ...
