This book was one of my favorites. The characters were so interesting. I was a teenager during this time in our country's history and remember the fear that this would actually happen!

I have read many of Jack Rollins books, but I likes this the best. As usual it is fast paced and thrilling. The ending was another nail bitter. But the character were better than ever. Good people put in bad situations.

I usually like her books, but this one not so much. The first of the book was so full of technical information and I just could not get into the story. I do not stop reading books often, but I did not finish this one.

Very interesting look at Rome at the time of Augustus Ceasar ? It is the story of Cleopatra 's and Marc Antony's children when they are sent to Rome after the death of their parents. But I thought the story was more for young adults. I did enjoy it.

Loved this book. Great tale of life as a pioneer woman in Colorado Territory in the late 1800's. Mattie was a strong, kind spirited woman. She had to be to survive in a world run by men. She had a great sense of humor! But she also suffered the births and deaths of several children. The loss of friends to death, suicide, domestic violence and capture by Indians. Great story written in the form of a diary.
