BOOK ALERT (08/18/2012)

Recently I read a review written by BA, a friend on the Goodreads Site. Her comments about GOLD by Chris Cleave got my attention as I had reviewed GOLD several weeks ago.  (Click on the Book Index to locate my review.)

Here's  BA'S take on GOLD by Chris CLeave

"This book quite literally explodes with metaphor, narrative, and fascinating, technical information. There isn't a reason in the world not to read this, unless you are (a) have ever been a parent; or (b) you are currently under the care of a cardiologist .

What the hell. Take a chance. Push yourself. Read it"

Enough said....

STRIKING GOLD OR STRIKING OUT (07/02/12)

Remember LITTLE BEE by Chris Cleave? Well, GOLD is his new one..another fast paced emotionally rewarding book. It's a story of athletes, sacrifice and determination. Three  characters are intertwined in a riviting story of Olympic bicycle racing.

GOLD by Chris Cleave is also a story of friendship. Lots of back stories about the characters complicate the current dilemmas and there's an abundance of dramatic dilemmas.

ALthough GOLD doesn't live up to CLeave's first book in terms of originality, it's  an interesting read, and well written. Like bike racing, it moves at a quick pace but.... with several stops in between.
