The Last Bridge by Teri Coyne

How intense this book is! Teri Coyne has written a book that is almost devastating to read, but you need to finish. Alexandra "Cat" is a beautiful young girl who experiences abuse by her father, and lack of compassion from her mother. The story starts where she is informed that her mother has committed suicide and we are learning the story from there.

This is a novel that you will need to have the temerity to want to finish. Pretty hard to read about the abuse of this child and not want the author to make someone pay for all of the heart-break and pain. Will not spill about how this ends, but the author sure did make you want to find out the finish.

The Keeper by Sarah Langan

Bedford, ME is a dying little town. People are alcoholic, they watch Susan Marley like a hawk, and things are just rotten. Liz Marley is an unpopular girl until she pairs up with Bobby. Her sister haunts the town and we are given clues about why this girl has left the home that she grew up in.

Sarah Langan's first novel is quite good with language and schematics, but I hope that the second novel brings more of the true story to the forefront, as this one did not. Never really got to the nuts and bolts of everything that was going on.

Stairway To Heaven

Well done book about the gravesights of famous and some not so famous musicians. Filled with little tidbits about the cemeteries, the stones, the lives of the interred. I am quite impressed that fans are still coming and honoring their "guitar heroes" many decades after their actual passings. Well done book.

Corn Flakes with John Lennon by Robert Hilburn

This book was sent to me for review by Bestsellersworld.

Robert Hilburn grows up with a real passion for music and songwriting. Becomes a rock and roll reviewer for a newspaper. Has the opportunity to meet a lot of really heavy hitters in the music world including John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Elvis, Elton John, Kurt Cobain and others.

The book was interesting, but Mr. Hilburn definitely has his favorites, all of which are great musicians and songwriters, but he has infinitely left out some other great artists from this book. He is entitled to write about his favorites, but I think that he could have included some of the other artists that "he" maybe didn't think were the best.

Interesting, with some great stories about some really good artists, but found that it really didn't include enough about music and what it means to others.
