I purchased this Music CD to be used at my brothers Celebration of life in conjunction withMicrosoft movie maker. The song that I used out of this album was "He Ain't heavy he's my brother".I used it with my pic's of my brother and me growing up in the Northwest --the time span was 65 years.Great song by the Hollies.

There is so much wrong with this book that it's hard to know where to start. I'll keep it brief: the hero is a jerk, the heroine has no spine or pride, the dialogue sounds phony, all the personal interactions are stilted, there is no emotional chemistry and it is all "tell, don't show" from the start. The "flashbacks" to get the backstory are just plain irritating and in fact the whole book is; and it feels dated. I didn't sense any real connection between the characters and feel vaguely resentful that I wasted as much time as I did trying to figure out why so many people claimed to love this book. I don't get it. I tried. I'd recommend staying away from this one.

I'm normally very forgiving of escapist, fun, breezy romances, but this book is seriously, even unforgivably, flawed. The cliched backgrounds of the characters (has anyone ever gone through childhood unmolested??) paired against a contrived storyline and then followed by an ending that grew progressively more ridiculous made me want to toss the book into the junk pile. Not recommended.

Mary Jo Putney is an author that I trust, but when I saw this one was a "Hollywood" story, I really didn't think I'd like it. I was wrong. The characters had tremendous depth, and in the end, you wonder how on earth they can overcome the situations, yet they do, in a plausible and emotionally satisfying way. A definite recommend.

Loved this book, can't imagine anyone thinking it less than five stars or utterly great. Mary Jo Putney didn't just deliver, she knocked it out of the park. Books like this are why I love to read.

I got this originally as a review LP in the late 70's when I was programming a San Diego radio station. Ellington's music is so timeless. And this set, with its small combo is incredible. There is a slight harshness occasionally, but it is beyond proof not only an example of this genius's music, but simply as great music that should be enjoyed by many. In spite of my career, most of my at home listening is Classical-- yet this album stands with the greatest. Absolutely amazing!
