Adventure!.......2007-09-15
This book rocks. There is no dallying around, you are submerged in adventure and suspense from the first page. If you are looking for a thriller that keeps you turning pages, read any of Meg Gardiner's books. I've read three now and they've all been like this.
SHOULD BE MUST READING FOR ALL WRITERS' GROUPS.......2007-06-14
I'm a literary fiction-type reader/writer myself. Or thought I was until I recently discovered Stephen King (yes, I know, I'm the only person in existence who hasn't read his stuff) and loved it. When he talked about what a good writer Meg Gardiner was and how silly it was for her not to be published in the US, I thought, "Why not take a chance?"
Wow. This is the kind of writing instructors talk about when they say, "Show me, don't tell me." As someone who's been in writing groups longer than I care to admit and the author of two national award winning books, I found her craftsmanship breathtaking. Meg doesn't waste a word. Every single word she uses moves the story along. Her language is dead on, verbs have punch, similes and metaphors are crisp and appropriate. The book is a perfect balance of action, characterization and plot.
I found its story-line terrifying--a radical religious cult trying to tear a child from his family, while generally destroying the world. And yes, the heroine does stupid things. If she was the sort who stayed home and called 911, not only would her loved ones be toast, the story would fizzle. This is a thriller.
It's also set in Santa Barbara CA, near where I live. She perfectly describes the city and almost uses it as a character in her book.
I could not put this book down and have just ordered the rest of Meg's books. Stepping Off the Edge: Learning & Living Spiritual Practice
I dont get it..........2007-05-28
What did everyone see that I didn't? I thought this book was less than marginal. The heroine goes to the cult's worship center--alone. She confronts members--alone. She goes to their isolated compound--alone. She is competent with a gun and knows the baddies are circling, yet refuses the one her brother offers. She leaves her nephew, who is in danger, with a woman she hasnt spoken to since high school. She gets huffy with her brother's best friend but turns to a guy she met in a gas station. Then the bad guys expect her naval officer brother to steal them a missile with biological weapons and a) think he will do it and b) think no one will notice? Argh...I kept waiting for something clever or intriguing but it never came. Oh yeah, the cops were all idiots who never once believed her no matter what happened. Nor did they arrest any members of the cult for trashing a block, attempting to kidnap the nephew AND they let them visit the brother in jail--while there was a manhunt out for them. Plus, the female cult leader and the brother are supposedly the same age, yet she poses as his wife's mother? One of the characters says she wants to have Stephen King's baby, so maybe thats why he said he liked it...No-- even that doesn't wash...
An Expensive Thrill.......2007-05-09
It seems like everyone else writing reviews for this that I tried out this first Evan Delaney thriller based on the glowing recommendation of Stephen King. Here's my thoughts: The heroine who lives in the near bucolic Santa Barbara, feels very reminicent of Sue Grafton's plucky Kinsey Milhone. There were times when I almost thought this could've been one of the alphabet mysteries with a few character changes. The plot is timely and freakish enough with a religious fudamentalist in the vein of the Reverend Roy Phelps preparing to save the world from eternal damnation with Evan and her brother getting tied up with his cult. Ultimately the book is entertaining enough in a summer movie kind of way: Big action, a smattering of romance, a child in peril, and some silly plot devices you just have to go with in order to enjoy the ride. That's all fine, except at the end of the day it wasn't worth the near thirty bucks I shelled out to get it. I'd suggest looking for a used copy, and saving yourself some bucks until it's publshed by an American publisher.
Stupid Heroine.......2007-04-07
I read King's review in EW and decided to give this one a try. The dialogue is clever and the plot skips along, but I was continually frustrated by the stupid decisions that each character makes. Evan Delaney makes Stephanie Plum look like a rocket scientist.
I hope the author will infuse her characters with a few more smarts - this series could get really boring really fast if we have to keep reading about people who make stupid choice after stupid choice.
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
Budget Inversion.......2007-09-04
Amazing what Mitt Romney can do with numbers. If in doubt, do without. He pulled the 2002 winter games off on a no frills budget and turned a scandal into a triumph.
It seems he gets so much grief just because he is a Mormon, but I'm amazed at what he can do and mostly impressed by his get up and go, can do attitude. His wife says he loves emergencies and crisis situations of any kind. He turns the financing of the games from a huge millions of dollars deficit into a millions of dollars profit. Throughout the whole crisis leading up to the games, he made it the mission of the whole team to be honest and forthright with each other and the public. It's blatantly apparent that he always makes an honest million and demands integrity of his team whoever they be. This book was truly inspirational in many ways. If you don't want to read the book or even hate Mitt Romney, at least read the "Prologue" and the first chapter. I love the story of the American flag from the World Trade Center bombing being brought into the Olympic stadium during opening ceremonies. It's really awesome!
There have been other budget inversions in our nation's history. The most remarkable one happened on the eve of this country's founding and was repaired by Alexander Hamilton, our nation's first Treasury Secretary. That tale is best told by Forrest McDonald in his biography of Hamilton.
These are great stories and must reads for government financiers!
Mitt Romney.......2007-09-01
I would never vote for Mitt Romney, and I hope he does not win. He is so full of himself and will lie just to get votes.
Pre-nomination Mitt..........2007-06-27
With a title like "turnaround" I was expecting Mitt to explain why he has reversed all of his positions on abortion, sexuality etc just in time for the Republican nomination.
Unfortunately not.
This book is about a simpler time when Mitt did not have to reverse or hide all of his principles in order to seek higher office. It tells the story of his rescue of the Olympic Games. It is actually quite good (although Mitt takes a LOT of the credit for things that others did). Unfortunately, it also reflects on the "old" Mitt rather than the Mitt 2.0 who is running for the nomination today...
Expect: Mitt Romney to win 2008 presidential election.......2006-12-03
Through this book, I belive in Mitt Romney. He could bring this nation together ...he has the heart and wisdom.
Another good read........2006-10-24
The Olymic Games were a mess. A succesful turnaround required, understanding of the crisis and the ability to lead the Olymics through one its toughest challenges of the second half of the 20th Century. Read about how it was done.

True to the man.......2007-09-29
Ten years ago I spent a summer volunteering for the National Park Service at Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, in Alaska. My remote rangers cabin was located at Twin Lakes. Being on the lower lake, I was about 9 miles from my nearest neighbor- Dick. We spoke daily on our walkie-talkies, checking in about the weather, any visitors, or interesting wildlife viewings. I trekked up his way several times over the summer, and enjoyed a few meals with him. I can't remember if it's in his book, but his favorite sandwich was the "Twin Lakes Special": sourdough flapjaks, raw onion, and honey; don't knock it 'til ya try it! Just like his book, he was a gracious, thoughtful man, a true naturalist. Also the most spry 82-year-old I think I'd ever seen! I was saddened to hear of his death several years ago, and was grateful the NPS kept his cabin as a historical site; it is a cozy place, dark inside, smelling faintly of woodsmoke and 1948 sourdough starter, with wonderful decorative touches throughout. Dick was truly a special person, and this book captures his voice, his no-nonsense manner of talking, as well as his appreciation of the beauty of the natural world, perfectly.
A modern day "Thoreau".......2007-09-16
You cannot visit Alaska without reading this book FIRST! Just the photography alone will make you want to go. I dentify in many ways with Dick as I lived in a cabin in the White Mountains of NH for many years. He didn't intrude on nature...he simply lived in harmony with it. He appeals to all of your senses in his simple but beautifully written words, never mind the pictures. He is definitely portrayed as a "loner" but that is a good thing..for a loner has much higher self esteem and sense of character than those who can't survive in the world without people around them all the time. Dick is a true steward of the land because of his deep, abiding love and connection for this piece of God's Creation. His beautifully chronicled life in Alaska will remind you of Robert Frost's words.."We love the things we love for what they are." Enjoy!
Just as Good the Second Time.......2007-09-12
I was telling my husband about this book as I started reading it. He said, "Don't you remember, we read that many years ago when Alaska Magazine published it"? I knew that Babe, the pilot, seemed familiar. It didn't matter. I was happy to read it a second time which is unusual for me. Oh, how I would have loved to have been able to do what Mr. Proenneke did and to live where he lived. There is nothing dull about this book and I suspect the people who find it dull haven't any interest in living in the wilderness without Blackberries, i-pods, automobiles and restaurants.
Even though most of us who enjoyed the book probably don't begin to have the skills that Richard Proenneke had which made what he did possible (and a pilot friend who delivered for free) I think we all wish we could do what he did. I know I do. I didn't realize that a sequel exists. It costs big bucks, but if it's anything close to as interesting as this book, it's worth it. Maybe I'll find out if the Mission Girls ever showed-up.
Homesteading in Alaska.......2007-08-16
The year was 1968. The setting, the Alaskan bush. The mission, to live simply, deliberately, and self-sufficiently off the land, free of the trappings of contemporary society. The protagonist, clearly not what you might expect given the era. He was not some young, free spirited hippie, luddite, or draft dodger. Rather, he was a skilled hard working machinist/woodsman, who at age 51 decided to permanently leave the rat race behind.
Why this man, Dick Prenacke, suddenly left behind his conventional existence to live in a remote and unforgiving section of Alaska is never fully explored in the book. While snippets do reveal his distain for modernity, it never fully embellishes on what ultimately drove the author to do what few would ever conceive of doing. Perhaps Dick realized that at 51, the physical and physiological fortitude required to make such a transition would soon be out of his reach. More likely however, he foresaw the end of an era. No more than a few years after his departure into the wild, Alaska would enact laws prohibiting trappers and homesteaders from freely trudging off into the woods to live the quintessential "Alaskan experience." Soon Alaska would become like the rest of the lower 48, where people like Dick would be considered trespassers and evicted from any land that they did not rightfully own. Fortunately for the author, the laws were grand fathered in.
While the book is essentially a personal account of Alaskan homesteading, the author episodically weaves social commentary into his writings. He laments a society that is wasteful and superficial. The hunters that come into his Alaska, products of such a society, leave garbage and animal meat behind, unaware that the author cleans up after as well as makes use of their squander.
The author also reveals his anxiety for a society that is increasingly consumed by materialism. He feels that man is entrapped by things that he doesn't need and he seeks to avoid the superfluous at all costs. To the outsider, surviving in the wilds of Alaska would seem to require an extravagant amount of equipment and gear. One can only imagine the bill the average suburbanite would amass at the local REI in preparation for such an endeavor. Yet the author demonstrates just how little is required to not only to survive but also to prosper in such an inhospitable region.
The book closes with some thoughts on technology, and the rapidity of change that comes with it. The author's words are both haunting and prescient as he elaborates on his first year in Alaska and how his experience conflicts greatly with society at large.

Inspiring book. Diarist was over 50 when he began this journey. Helps me look to the future for myself.

Difficult to Read.......2003-11-04
Well there is no doubt that this book contains a large amount of information, it CANNOT be used as an introductory text. It is much to difficult to comprehend, and Wetzel makes absolutely no effort to teach the concepts. Here merely presents a synthesis of limnological research.
Good as a Limnology Primer.......2000-01-30
This is an excellent general reference text. Can not say enough about the excellent content of this text. But it is need of an edition update with information for lake mapping and restoration. Dr. C.L. Nelson of St. Cloud State University, St. Cloud, MN has an excellent small text on physical limnology for the mapping aspect. This book does do an excellent job on the biological aspects of limnological work.
My view of the Wetzel's limnology book.......2000-01-30
The book contains a lot of information related to lakes. It's a complete work about the conditions on this systems. Include a study about the performance of the ionic particles in this systems. It's a suitable book for students like me, to understand the freshwater ecology.

Book Description
Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03
Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.
Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19
Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.
Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09
There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.
For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.
History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10
Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.
I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.
Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.
Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.
I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.
This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Canadian writer Mary Lawson's debut novel is a beautifully crafted and shimmering tale of love, death, and redemption. The story, narrated by 26-year-old Kate Morrison, is set in the eponymous Crow Lake, an isolated rural community where time has stood still. The reader dives in and out of a year's worth of Kate's childhood memories--when she was 7 and her parents were killed in an automobile accident that left Kate, her younger sister Bo, and two older brothers, Matt and Luke, orphaned. When Kate, the successful zoologist and professor who is accustomed to dissecting everything through a microscope, receives an invitation to Matt's son's 18th birthday party, she must suddenly analyze her own relationship and come to terms with her past before she forsakes a future with the man she loves. Kate is still in turmoil over the events of that fateful summer and winter 20 years ago when the tragedy of another local family, the Pyes, spilled over into their lives with earth-shattering consequences. But does the tragedy really lie in the past or the present? Lawson's narrative flows effortlessly in ever-increasing circles, swirling impressions in the reader's mind until form takes shape and the reader is left to reflect on the whole. Crow Lake is a wonderful achievement that will ripple in and out of the reader's consciousness long after the last page is turned. --Nicola Perry, Amazon.co.uk
Book Description
Crow Lake is that rare find, a first novel so quietly assured, so emotionally pitch perfect, you know from the opening page that this is the real thing—a literary experience in which to lose yourself, by an author of immense talent.
Here is a gorgeous, slow-burning story set in the rural “badlands” of northern Ontario, where heartbreak and hardship are mirrored in the landscape. For the farming Pye family, life is a Greek tragedy where the sins of the fathers are visited on the sons, and terrible events occur—offstage.
Centerstage are the Morrisons, whose tragedy looks more immediate if less brutal, but is, in reality, insidious and divisive. Orphaned young, Kate Morrison was her older brother Matt’s protegee, her fascination for pond life fed by his passionate interest in the natural world. Now a zoologist, she can identify organisms under a microscope but seems blind to the state of her own emotional life. And she thinks she’s outgrown her siblings—Luke, Matt, and Bo—who were once her entire world.
In this universal drama of family love and misunderstandings, of resentments harbored and driven underground, Lawson ratchets up the tension with heartbreaking humor and consummate control, continually overturning one’s expectations right to the very end. Tragic, funny, unforgettable,
Crow Lake is a quiet tour de force that will catapult Mary Lawson to the forefront of fiction writers today.

A "must read".......2007-09-16
Crow Lake (Today Show Book Club #7)
Clearly a gifted author who speaks from the heart and personal experience. This book contains all of the elements of a classic: unforgetable characters, a logical and charming plot and clean, enthrawling prose.
Begins well........2007-09-11
Crow Lake begins with a fine account of 4 siblings, during the year following their parents' deaths in an auto accident. Especially meaningful to two of the siblings is the observation of pond life, as good an evocation as I have read of what nature can mean to the close observer. The rest of the novel is quite readable, but suffers both in its concept and its execution. The seven year old feels betrayed when her older brother marries and turns his back on further education (but not on her); she eventually becomes a loveless college professor, until everything works out in the end. If you haven't read Mary Lawson, begin with "The Other Side of the Bridge", as I did.
A wonderful experience.......2007-09-01
I am one of those people who reads Book Reviews and keeps lists of books that sound interesting. Because of an ancestor or two, I have a particular fondness for books written by Canadian writers. Maybe genetics plays a role somehow. But I had had this book in my "to-be-read' pile at home for sometime. But it was not until I took a cycling trip through Banff National Park this summer that I took time to begin it. I was browsing through a section of books by "Canadian Writers" at a Lodge where I was spending a few nights and chanced to read the opening paragraph. I guess I would defy anyone to read these beginning sentences and not want to continue on. The book is now solidly linked with all of the good times of that week and I am happy that it is. It is simply the best novel that I have read this year. Every character in it rings true for me and I was drawn into their lives and into this place--this Crow Lake--as I have rarely been drawn into any similar collection of people and places before. It is a simply wonderful story of a family--of several families--dealing with tragedies and successes as best as they know how. Try the first paragraph--if it grabs you, the rest will not disappoint.
A peaceful, predictable read.......2007-08-31
Crow Lake is a quick read. The characters (including the landscape and the town) are truly interesting. The story itself is a captivating drama, but make no mistake: this is not a mystery novel with a cliffhanger ending (though, at times, it seems that Lawson wants you to believe it is).
Narrated by Kate, from her perspective at age 7 to 20 years later, the story is held hostage at times by her juvenile melodrama. The reader is sometimes beguiled into "suspense" (which is Kate's doing) and at other times, the reader is smothered with a kind of foreshadowing that a preschooler couldn't miss (which is the author's doing).
Despite this predictability, the story's fluid writing, landscape, and remaining characters (other than Kate) are captivating enough to keep you reading till the end.
Luke is facscinating. Matt is fascinating. The Pyes are fascinating. Kate though, is overdrawn. She is an unrealistic character, fastened together by far-reaching anecdotes and wide-spread events. Her great-grandmother, the ponds, her brother Matt: the effects of these things are superimposed on her "character development"; in theory, it sounds plausible, but on the page, it doesn't work. Kate appears unrealistic and vapid - something I doubt Lawson was striving for. "Great-Grandmother Morrison" is planted in the story's arc - literally from the first page to (second to) last. Yet her "influence" on Kate is so unrealistic.
Put it this way: if Crow Lake was turned into a movie, it would be melodrama on Lifetime or an after-school special. It would not be the "gorgeous, slow-burning story" the book claims to be.
Haunting and lyrical ... .......2007-05-24
I picked this book up several months ago in the bookstore as part of a deal where you can buy four books for the price of three. I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover or even by its blurb, but I couldn't resist picking this one up to read even though I have not heard of it before. The other night, it struck my mood to read this one and once I've picked it up, I really and honestly could not put it down. I even read it in middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. That hasn't happened in years, let me tell you!
This book is set in rural Ontario. It spells out the heartbreak of a family of young kids ~~ two older teenage brothers and two young girls ~~ who suddenly lost both of their parents in a tragic accident. Unwilling to be separated, they tried to fend for themselves in the rural community of Crow Lake with help from the small community. The oldest son, Luke, gave up a promising scholarship to college to stay in Crow Lake to raise the two youngest girls with Matt's help. Matt was destined to go to university after he completed Level 13 and pass the board exams. There's Kate and Bo, the two young girls who needed their brothers in more ways than one. This is their story, even though Kate is the one narrating the story from the day of the accident and from her university years. The story twists and turns ~~ going from present (the university days) to past, sharing her story that is entertwined with her brothers and sister's stories.
This story is much more than about relationships. It is about life. It is about organisms that live in ponds and how they cling to life. It is about carrying on the dreams and hopes of previous generations. It is about education and how important it is and how sometimes, you miss life as it is happening. It is a lyrical and wonderfully magical story that ensares you in its' telling. It is dreamy and haunting. It is one of the better books I've read yet this year ~~ it is something I was not expecting to read and now, I wish there is more of it.
If you get a chance, read this novel. It is beautiful and haunting and will introduce you to a new place in this world that you may not be familiar with. It is a novel about life and relationships, dreams and expectations and about growing up.

Book Description
Real estate expert Olivia Bellamy reluctantly trades a trendy Manhattan summer for her family's old resort camp in the Catskills, where her primary task will be renovating the bungalow colongy for her grandparents, who want one last summer together filled with fun, friends and family. A posh resort in its heyday, the camp is now in disarray and Olivia is forced to hire contractor Connor Davis — a still-smoldering flame from her own summers at camp
But as the days grow warm, not even the inviting blue waters of Willow Lake can cool the passions flaring or keep shocking secrets at bay. The nostalgic joy of summers past breathes new promise into a special place and people…a promise meant to last long after the season ends.

Summer at Willow Lake.......2007-10-07
Have not read the book, it's for a friend, but the service
was good.
A few twists and turns .......2007-09-11
My book club picked this book and I was less then thrilled to read it when I first saw the cover, but you know what they say 'don't judge a book by it's cover' which was right in this case. It was a pretty enjoyable book - yes there are some sub-plots in the book that the conclusion is painfully obvious but there are other sub-plots that make it an interesting read and one that kept me up some nights. If you are looking for some good chick-lit I would recommend this book. It's actually good for book clubs as well - people had mixed reviews which always makes for a good discussion.
There's a Good Book Hidden Inside.......2007-09-05
First, this is more like a 2.5 than a 3 star book for me.
When I first started this story about a woman who is trying to get her life on track after her third serious relationship falls apart through no reason she can understand, I was interested. I liked the flashbacks to the camp, I liked her best friend, I liked her. I was willing to believe that this book deserved its RITA nomination. It was solidly entertaining, which is all I ever look for in my romance novels.
Somewhere along the way, I lost interest. Was it when I realized that her best friend was too awesome for her? That was a little early in the book. Was it when I began to think that her first boyfriend and new love interest was not so much a bad boy as a kind of lame man? Again, that was a little early. Was it when I realized I was following multiple love stories, solving a mystery about the main character's father, and watching a set up for future books? YEP. That's exactly where I lost interest in this whole thing.
This was my introduction to Susan Wiggs, and I found it both lackluster and slightly overwhelming. Was I supposed to care about all of the Bellamys? I know why romance novelists set up their series nowadays, and feel the need to revisit old characters from previous novels, but some days, I just want to read a standalone. I don't care about the future books or the past books. It's as hard to find a standalone romance as it is to find a single book in a fantasy series. WHY, authors, WHY? I know the answer is money, but, consider your readers.
If you like series, and you're ready to dive into them, and you love the idea of fake 'bad boys', perhaps you'll like this book. I just kept wondering why the main character didn't get together with her best friend who seemed like a way more awesome choice.
A Very Enjoyable Read.......2007-08-31
Olivia Bellamy is a three times loser in the romance department. Reeling from her latest breakup, she decides to go to her grandparents' camp in the Catskill Mountains. The camp holds a lot of painful memories for Olivia because she was always the fat unpopular kid. Determined to disassociate her past from her present, she decides to renovate the camp for her grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary celebration. It has been closed for a long time and she has her work cut out for her. She didn't count on running into her first love, Connor Davis. They had been at camp together as kids and both had walked away from their relationship with broken hearts. The story goes back and forth between their past days at camp and the present work being done. Working together causes them both to remember the past and their feelings for one another.
This is a romance without getting all mired down with bodice ripping writing. The characters are likable and we see both Olivia and Connor's sides of the story. I also enjoyed the descriptions of the scenery and wished I could visit.
This is the first of a series and I plan to read the following books.
Brings back all the memories of Summer and camping!.......2007-07-31
This was an enjoyable reading experience. Lolly returns to her grandparents summer camp, Camp Kioga, to re-vamp it for her grandparents up-coming 5oth wedding anniversary celebration where they will re-new their wedding vows. Lolly's (AKA Olivia Bellamy) ambition is to re-create the Summer Camp of years gone-by. Using all her experience as a stager for real estate and her unstoppable imagination, she undertakes this huge challenge of repairing a long neglected Summer camp. Along the journey of the transformation of Camp Kioga the reader experiences the transformation of Lolly Bellamy through flashbacks. These take the reader back nine years when Lolly was an insecure overweight girl who was hopelessly in love with a boy, Connor Davis, who was seemingly out of her reach. There is a secondary story line which is developed beautifully through the flashbacks of Lolly's father during which he spent time as a camp counselor at Camp Kioga during the seventies. There are still many insecurities to be dealt with and a mysterious family history yet to be revealed along the way. Connor Davis grows up into the sexy contractor Lolly hires to help renovate the camp. Lolly is now a beautiful swan yet there are misunderstandings to clear up and neglected feelings to resolve. The flashbacks are beneficial in revealing the motives of each character. All these people seem real with deep emotional layers, and it is hard not to get caught up in all the mystery and excitement of the re-newed relationships as the story unfolds to its last page and very satisfying conclusion. I highly recommend this book and I look forward to reading The Winter Lodge and Dockside, where I can get back into the lives of the people of Avalon, NY.

Excellent general reference.......2006-12-18
Lake and Pond Management by Steve McComas is an excellent reference for cooperative extension advisors, soil and water conservation district staff, lake association representatives, and other watershed managers. Licensed commercial pesticide applicators who are considering broadening their credentials to the aquatic pest control category would also find this Guidebook a valuable addition to their reference libraries. As a retired university farm advisor and riverfront landowner, I found this book highly educational - and well worth the price.

Absolutely the last word in pond or small lake creation and maintenance. For both the amateur and professional landscaper. Well worth the steep price.
The Lake Detective... He Can't Be Stumped! A great GLer.......2004-02-16
This is that guy from AM1500 KSTP... Garage Logic, with Joe Soucheray. He goes by "The Lake Detective", and all he does is lakes, I guess. He's found a great niche in MN, land of 10,000 of 'em. Being a lakeshore owner, I've already used some of his techniques to keep my shore in great shape. The beauty of a lot of his approaches is that the solutions mostly seem pretty low-tech and inexpensive. But that's a good thing. I didn't have to rent expensive equipment to get my shore cleared, and the results have been great.
Color pictures would help, but the black-n-whites do the job, I guess. This $80 book saved me hundreds (maybe thousands) from what I was going to do to 'fix up' my shore... Money well spent!

This book is more of a collection of articles written by practicing VCs/PE professionals.
Many of the articles discuss either geographical, structural or practical issues in either LBO or Venture capital.
A good collection.
