Rating:  Summary: Beautiful Book That Rings True Over & Over Again Review: This is my favorite book of all time. Live through an incomprehensibly intense love that puts an ocean between you and the daily social froth and at the same time slams you on the glorious beach of being genuinely alive - and then this book will make total sense. And yes, Jane, it does continue.
Rating:  Summary: The magic of flying and being human... Review: This is not the greatest novel ever written, nor does it ever pretend to be. However, it has been one of the very few contemporary stories that flirts with originality and exploits imagination. I read this book on a long, long direct flight from New York to Tokyo a few months ago. Perhaps the way I read this book had alot to do with its impact on me. Had I read it on the ground I would have surely perceived it differently. I have always loved airplanes, I have always been in love with something and I have always, always (don't quite know why or how) been fascinated by the disappearance of this remarkable woman. So take it on your next long flight. Pick a window seat and enjoy it. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in aviation, the vagueries of love and Amelia Earhart. I do not really see it as a novel, but it very well may be a profoundly eloquent, lengthy and enduring poem. One of the best in my recent memory.
Rating:  Summary: A Gorgeous Read Review: This story was sensual and evocative, the writing lush and exquisite. It was a pure prose poem from beginning to end, and I loved it. It's a regular on my great gifts list. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves the sheer force of well-crafted language.
