Book Reviews of Cold Rock River
Book Review: Wonderful and Riveting
Summary: 5 Stars
I was blown away by J.L. Miles' first book, Roseflower Creek, so I had to buy Cold Rock River in hard cover.
I am so glad I did. Reading this book renewed my faith that some writers are truly gifted.
I could not put this book down. Miles' characterization and development made me feel like I was living the lives of her multi-faceted characters. The way she deals with Southern history, racism, slavery, marriage, relationships, and other crucial elements, is riveting and brilliant.
You will not be disappointed if you read this book. I can't wait for her next.
Book Review: J L Miles has done it again!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Cold Rock River" ripped me apart. From the first sentence, no, from the first word to the very last.
Ms. Miles - It was so fun to spend that time with your characters. I thought your first book, "Roseflower Creek" was a touch of class, but this one? Well, a wheelbarrow full of class comes to mind. You stopped me in my tracks.
Book Review: Haunting and Compelling Southern Fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
From the first sentence, "I was five that spring Annie choked on a jelly bean" to the stunning conclusion, you will not be able to put this wonderful novel down. Miles gets it all right, the dialogue, the pacing, to the period details.
COLD ROCK RIVER stayed with me long after I'd finished it. Can't wait for another offering from this author.
Book Review: I couldn't put it down! I mean it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I pre-ordered this book from Amazon.com and finished it last nite. I loved it! It's a great book. I also have Roseflower Creek by this author, which I thought was great, too, but this one's even better. It usually takes me ages to go through a book. Not this one. I just ordered two copies to give to friends for Christmas. I thoroughly recommend Cold Rock River and Roseflower Creek.
