books by Jacquelyn Mitchard     books:       Still Summer65 reviews Jacquelyn Mitchard Grand Central Publishing, 2008 starts slow, picks up speed and intensity I listened to the book over a three week period. At first, it was a bit dull in the set-up of the main characters. Once however, the women go on their boat trip, the pace picks ups significantly. I couldn't wait to listen each day on my commute to and from work. Some elements were predictable while others did surprise me. This book doesn't get a five star review as some of the characters and ...             Breakdown Lane52 reviews Jacquelyn Mitchard HarperCollins Publishers (Australia) Pty Ltd, 2006 Wonderful Women's Fiction I actually picked up this book on the recommendation of--don't laugh!--Stephen King. As one of the ten books he recommended for late summer reads in an issue of Entertainment Weekly Magazine, the premise hooked me. The book centers around a woman who not only loses her husband to a wacky desire to live a simpler and more-fulfilling life, but has to single-handedly raise two teenagers and a ...             Christmas, Present22 reviews Jacquelyn Mitchard, Mitchard Jacquelyn, 2003 Wisdom for any time of year What I love about this short novel is its truth. This is life the way it really is. The series of characters surrounding the dying woman are skillfully and unsentimentally drawn. Kids wonder whether they will have enough money to keep the dog, one daughter scolds her mother for dying, the husband criticizes his mother-in-law's unskilled mothering. This is anything but syrupy sweet. The book ...             Cage of Stars85 reviews Jacquelyn Mitchard Grand Central Publishing, 2007 Wonderfully written.... If the rating system was based on tears I cried while reading this novel, I would have to give it a thousand stars.... This is the first book I have read by Ms. Mitchard, and I was captivated from the first paragraph; as one reviewer observed, this book practically begs to be read. It is a story of redemption, vengeance, questioning one's belief system, forgiveness, love, hate, life, death and ...             Now You See Her13 reviews Jacquelyn Mitchard HarperTeen, 2008 Beyond Good Expecting this to be a book I would want my teenage grandchild to read, I went into it thinking it would be fun, light and somewhat less than captivating. I was dead wrong. Took me about two days with a very busy schedule to finish because I was so committed to finding out about the true Hope Shay (Bernadette). Whole range of opinions from disgust to sympathy. Great good!!             The Deep End Of The Ocean342 reviews Jacquelyn Mitchard Harper Collins, 1997 Wow! I read this book before the movie over and over again. It is a compelling book which keeps you guessing and tugging at your heart. The twists and turns throughout the books were exciting. Definitely a book you cannot put down! Merna Pocket of Pearls: A 30-day pocket workbook to start hearing a softer voice inside of you!             All We Know of Heaven: A Novel8 reviews Jacquelyn Mitchard HarperTeen, 2008 A moving story for all ages I finished ALL WE KNOW OF HEAVEN last night and it's been on my mind all day today. What I find intriguing is that it's been packaged as a YA novel when I think it's a wonderful novel for all ages. Jacquelyn Mitchard has the innate and rare gift of knowing how to tell a story well. With seamless skill, she introduces readers to two young girls who could easily live in your own neighborhood, ...             The Breakdown Lane52 reviews Jacquelyn Mitchard HarperCollins Publishers (Australia) Pty Ltd, 2005 Wonderful Women's Fiction I actually picked up this book on the recommendation of--don't laugh!--Stephen King.

By the time the book ends, you feel as though you know the characters personally but you are satisfied that you have not missed the big things that await them later in "life." In The Midnight Twins, Merry and Mally are best friends, ...             A Theory of Relativity37 reviews Jacquelyn Mitchard Harper Collins Publishers, 2001 Excellent read I think this book was very entertaining and thought provoking. It's a good book-club book!             The Most Wanted75 reviews Jacquelyn Mitchard Flamingo, 1999 The perfect title for a book about love, in all its forms I never expected to enjoy this book. I bought it at goodwill for about ten cents because I had read The Deep End of the Ocean and thought it was ok. I was shocked by this book. Perhaps because at the time I read it I was only two years older than Arley, our 14 year old heroine, I was drawn in immediately to this book. But it wasn't just Arley's relationship with Dillon, her convict husband, I ...             Look Both Ways Jacquelyn Mitchard Razorbill, 2009 In the second book of the Midnight Twins trilogy, Meredith and Mallory Brynn are finally coming to terms with their special gifts: Meredith to see into the past, Mallory to see into the future.

And Merry has her own friends to ...             Winesburg, Ohio78 reviews Sherwood Anderson Caedmon, 2002 An honest depiction of the emptiness of humanity Often credited as an inspiration by the renowned literati of the 20th century, Sherwood Anderson exhibited his subtle fineness and simple genius when he penned `Winesburg, Ohio' in 1919. Told as a collection of short stories, the `grotesque' inhabitants of the secluded town of Winesburg begin to relate to a young reporter, George Willard, and open up from the confinements of their society, ...             L'Enfant des autres [A Theory of Relativity] Jacquelyn Mitchard France Loisirs, 2002 French translation of Jacquelyn Mitchard's novel, A Theory of Relativity.             Baby Bat's Lullaby6 reviews Jacquelyn Mitchard Scholastic Inc., 2005 Baby Bat's a joy Baby Bat shines with Jacquelyn Mitchard's lyrical descriptions and Julia Noonan's excellent illustrations. I love Mitchard's writing, but I never expected her to tackle bats! But this paean to Mother Love, with its lovely rhymes and luminous pictures of soaring bats, is going to win over both kids--and their parents.             Twelve Times Blessed60 reviews Jacquelyn Mitchard Sound Library, 2003 Loved it I guess I'm among the minority but I absolutely loved this book. It's my favorite of all the books of Mitchard's that I've read, including Deep End of the Ocean. Sure, it may not be great literature, but it was definitely an entertaining story. I just loved the romance between True and Hank and it stuck with me for a long time after I finished it.
