review 1: This book has a cast of too many sweet, thoughtful, people and goes on too long. One of the main characters is a 10-year old boy who not only speaks like a college professor, he only thinks of what is good or hurtful to other people, including the two 'baddies' in the book. The first few chapters are very confusing as they seem to jump from one main person's chapter to the next, with the prior chapter ending in cliff-hangers. There's the obligatory really old woman who is selfless to all, the good neighbor who just 'loves to help', the most-main darling girl who is not looking for love, but finds it. There are also 2 minor 'baddies' who bully the 10-year old...they are dispatched with haste. Oh yuck!!!
review 2: I was looking for a light read, so I picked ... morethis up because I remembered some of her cozies fit that description.This book was boring, though. All the interesting stuff happened before the book--the cheating spouses, the estranged sisters--and this book is just a sort of diary of really nice people having everything work out. The not-nice people just go back under the rock they crawled out of. The little boy, age 7, had the vocabulary of a college graduate, the wisdom of Solomon, and the virtue of St. Francis of Assisi. Despite his grating perfection, you want things to work out for him...and you're assured, halfway through the book, that they will. Which makes the second half of the book sort of pointless. Possibly the wittiest bit in the book was the names of the two bad kids: Emjagger and Rolling Stone. less
