The Return...The same old stuff.

There is some interesting new information into inner circle of Mr. Trump and Morris connections, that I have not known about before. And it does seem relative, otherwise, the story of Covid -19 and the loss of Presidency in 2020 is inaccurate, to say the least. Poor analysis at that. I do not recommend this book.

Without a Trace.

This is a miracle surviving and unbelievable story tale about a man tired of his high-strung life with stressful job and high maintenance unloving wife. The horror of the predator added to spice the ideal illusional life the main character finds after survival... Pretty well written, just like a fairy tale for adults.

THE WHITTIERS.

The pretty much unbelievable story, where large family of siblings have to bury their still relatively young parents - Connie and Robert who are 69 and 79 and who perished suddenly under the snow lava while skiing in their favorite winter resort, that they went to every year to enjoy themselves alone as a couple...Their children (who are six) hardly talk and grief over the tragic loss...but start thinking about selling the large important house belonging to their parents, where all of them grew up and enjoyed still very much ! Then Lyle, the eldest son has to face another huge unpleasant event-that of divorce from his unsatable greedy wife, who doesn't care about him as a human being or as husband, or even her own children, but only her major asset - the money, that she wants and spends on herself -Lyle's money. The end part of the novel is good. And you do want to read more about future of the characters... But again, the main lady's name is Caroline is all of sudden, cropped to Caro ! What is it ?! Is the author lazy to spell the full name of her heroine or even shorten it to Carol (which would be decent). Then we have another name -Gloria, who at times goes by "Glo" ! In many instances, also, the sentences are misconstructed. I do not recommend this book to an expert reader.

Carter, Jimmy, 1924-

Christmas in the Plains. By Jimmy Carter.

It is a wonderful memoir, just as meaningful and sincere, as "My Life" with even more clarity of some most important events in Carter's Political endevours and long-worrisome fight to save and return home American hostages from Iran. It had finally happened...just two hours before Reagan had become a new President. And Jimmy Carter and his wife were out of White House unable to pronounce their victory. However, Mr. Carter was the one going to Iran's capital to meet and accompany all now freed American soldiers ! And was so very happy for them to be home finally and so proud that his operation had finally succeeded !

A FULL AND HONEST LIFE OF A MAN AND A PRESIDENT.

Jimmy Carter had been, perhaps, the last of the Magicans who brought absolute honesty to people of his country ! And that is why he and his wife Rosalyn were so much loved by all people. Everywhere. No matter their color, place of work or how much money they have had ! They cherished and respected everyone, and people responded in kind. The only characteristic that prevented (possibly) President Carter to win the second term of Presidency is because he believed in peaceful negotiations even with cruel enemies like Iran government, that kept our American soldiers as hostages. The situation had truly called for much stronger message, than pleas, trust and simple negotiations ! And President Carter had been and is a very religious and peaceful man, despising wars and violence vehemently. A great book by a wonderful man.
