And I like how you mention that the book is full of good people. I liked and disliked each of them here and there, and I like how the author made them authentic, flaws and all. I hope it's okay to link to your review on <a href="http://warthroughthegenerations.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">War Through the Generations</a>. I really enjoyed this book, too.

Easily one of my favorite reads of the year. I agree that it would have been nice to see Taro and Charlie reunite -- and I wish the ending had been a bit longer. But it was definitely a satisfying book, and I was glad to get some closure from the storyline. Absolutely loved this one! Easily one of my favorite reads of the year.

It's nice to read a book where people are essentially good once in a while. I haven't read this one yet but that one comment you made stood out. Had to say something about it :) What you said about the novel being filled with “good people” brought a smile to my face. It’s nice to read a book where people are essentially good once in a while.

I'm glad you enjoyed the book. You made some excellent points- I esp. liked what you said about how the author made Charlie a good man- a rock and not a hurdle. So true. How many books have we all read where there is just one obstacle after another?? I'm glad he stayed by her and loved her (their) son too. I loved this book.. read it while on vacation and it was just the perfect thing for me after reading something else that was quite deep and literary, plus I had a personal connection to the subject matter so it really affected me! Thank you so much for being on the tour and for always being so wonderful! Excellent review; so thorough! I’m glad you enjoyed the book.
