Summary: A real page turner!
Review: Rescue Me is a quick paced novel filled with the hopes, dreams and dire realities that were the 80's. Amanda's story is one that so many can relate to -- a less than perfect childhood, changes in family and friends that try our love and loyalty, selfish and selfless friends and lovers, lecherous bosses, and the colorful peripheral people who do effect our lives. And it's a story of hope -- that life can go on and love can win out, even if we think it's passed us by.The characters are so carefully woven, that as I read, I felt like I really knew them, and what an interesting bunch they are! The story reveals life in L.A. in the 80's, when we were innocent and naive (think sex and drugs), no matter how worldly and hip we thought we were. It's a love story minus the mush. A great book for a day on the beach, or a long soak in the tub. But also because of the clear, easy to follow writing, it's one of those books that you can read a few pages at a time, if that's all the time you have. But it *will* be hard to put down!

Summary: Rescue Me- A wonderful summer novel
Review: Rescue Me is an entralling page turner. Once you start reading you can't put it down. Gigi Levangie-Grazer's novel is evocative and sexy. One can only hope that she continues to write novels.

Summary: Very Real Life, Very Touching
Review: The storyline was interesting but Grazer failed to fully develop her characters. Instead, she jumped around from one scene to another. The plot was uneven and, IMHO, underdeveloped. Grazer looks like she has great potential (Stepmom was an excellent story). She's very creative & inciteful. I would definitely watch out for her next work, though.

Summary: Very Real Life, Very Touching
Review: This book had many hardcore aspects to it. The main character had to deal with love, lust, a drug dealing brother, and her brother's unloved son. Although the characters weren't developed very well, these situations were extremely clear to me. I love how the book starts off in the 90's/00's, and then goes back to the eighties to explain everything, and then goes back to the present to conclude it. Anyone who reads this book will be anxious to finish it, wondering what is going to happen next and what will happen to each of the characters.

Summary: Rescue Me will rescue you!
Review: This book is a must-read, the kind of book you'd expect to find on the Oprah book list. From the first page, you won't be able to put it down as it winds you through a journey past and present, of love and longing and fears and happiness and so many of the challenges we all face every day. Although Amanda's story is wonderfully detailed and specific, it touches on many layers of the human condition. This novel is fresh and moving and powerful. I hope she keeps writing books- I can't wait for the next one.

Summary: Rescue me from reading this....
Review: This book is slow, seems half-written and I thought the ending terrible. After finishing the book I felt cheated. I don't think the characters were fully explored, the story was sometimes muddled and the end felt like it should have been the begining of the real story! I say pass on it and take something else to the beach to read.

Summary: TERRIFIC!
Review: This is definitely one of the best books I've read this year.Ms. Grazer has an obvious talent. There are so many very interesting mini stories going on in this novel, that there's NO WAY you'll spend only 1 minutes in the reading room. GREAT BOOK!
