Although it was sad in parts, it was really funny in others.It is one of those books that ties sisterhood together. I read this book in 2 days. The author does an excellent job detailing day to day what the characters in the book go through. A must read for every female - I recommend it.
Rating:  Summary: A Touching, Memorable Story Review: Probably due to Elizabeth Berg's writing skill, I was drawn into this story as if I were one of the group of women. Ruth and the others were so beautifully real that when the book was finished, I missed them all terribly. I, too, have given it or recommended it to several women friends.
Rating:  Summary: A Story That Can Touch Your Heart Review: "Talk Before Sleep," is a book that you would want to share with your female friends. It is a story of a woman in her forties, named Ruth, who is diagnosed with breast cancer. Luckily, she had friends like Ann, Helen, L.D., and Sarah who were there to care for her till end. A lot of emotions are shown about life, men, and friends which made the book interesting. There are certain parts of the book that made me laugh, and there are parts that made me cry. If you are interested with drama, then "Talk Before Sleep" is a good book for you to try and read.
Rating:  Summary: Eliazbeth Berg has a way with words that touches the soul! Review: I have given this bood to all of my female friends. It speaks of the deepness of true friendships via everyday details. I own all of Berg's books in hardcover form, and I treasure this one!
Rating:  Summary: Writing this special is not just for women Review: Jimmy Valvano, the now deceased basketball coach for Villanova, after being diagnosed with cancer said that each day you should laugh, think and cry. Ms. Berg's open writing style lets us do just that. The portrayal of friendship and the plight of this dreaded disease allows the male reader easy access to worlds we need to know. If you have a chance to hear Ms. Berg at an author reading- she carries the same grace as her writing.
Rating:  Summary: A very good book Review: I was very glad to see that all of the reviews of this book were 9 or 10. So many books have such mixed reviews, I think most women will agree that this is a great story about friendship. It comes alive as if you were there waiting with them.
Rating:  Summary: Emotional Review: This was a great read. I gave each of my friends a copy for Christmas. The powerful bond that we women share is expressed beautilully here. I recommmend this one to all woman.
Rating:  Summary: A great rainly day book Review: This book captures the heart of most women since all of us can relate to its unfolding of a strong and interactive relationship between two wonderfully developed characters by Berg. This book speaks to the wide range of emotions in a relationship where death is pending and one's support is critical.
It is easy to be seduced by Berg's quickness and wit,and lifelike portrayal of the characters which jump out from page to page. As the pages began to dwindle, I found myself reading slower to maximize the time spent with the two main characters.
This book speaks to what all of us need in life and the commitment it takes to have and be a best friend ! A truly delightful journey.
