{ "character": "Alice", "review": "As a male reading this book, it is hard for me to totally identify with the characters, however, I was able to identify with their struggles. While friends of mine criticized it for being a decidely female book, the story is universal, breaking gender and race boundaries. It is simply the story of the impact of the jungle (or any other serious trial) on a family. Each character is totally unique and it is difficult to pin one down as the \"heart and soul\" of the story. I found myself emotionally drained after prolonged reading (definitely a good thing). This is one of the few books that actually gave me goosebumps more than once. I reccomend it to anyone that can read.", "title": "Absolutely Breathtaking!" }

The fitted sheet stays put and that's saying a lot because I don't like to stay still when I sleep.I have only one other set that I hate so these are a wash weekly and put back on set and have really held up amazingly. After I receive my new set I will update and determine if the quality is the same etc. but as of now 5 stars.Unfortunately the new set were a disappointment, much thinner that before and started pilling after the first couple of washes. first time I have returned an item like this.", "title": "2009 purchase repurchase in 2012" }

She is an aimless soul who quit medical school shortly before finishing and ended up back home where she checks on her ailing father, the town physician.

Her beloved sister Hallie is in Nicaragua trying to save crops and thus people, and somehow Codi feels useless by comparison. Added to this, her parents came from Illinois to this remote spot in Arizona, and the family were always outsiders. This is a beautiful story of Codi's redemption and growing maturity.

{ "character": "Bob", "review": "I was disappointed by the lack of information offered in this book. I have other \"pug\" books that provide more thorough information and advice in raising this breed. This book did not cover certain symptoms my dog was having as to help diagnose him, so that was no help when needed. I would not purchase this book again, nor recommend to anyone else for purchase. The \"Pugs for Dummies\" book offers a lot more info in all different pug-related categories.", "title": "Not very informative, limited information." }
