Book Reviews of The Shell Seekers
Book Review: I knew what book I loved when I read this
Summary: 5 Stars
The Shell Seekers is wonderful. I picked it up at a garage sale, and went on to buy her other big novels. It's definitely a big read. The characters are people you grow to care about. I loved it. I loved her big novels after that perhaps even more, but maybe because I had been taught how to enjoy the flavor with which she draws the characters in Shell Seekers. A warm, inviting story that is a long read, but worth it.Book Review: Incredible Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my all time favorite books! A must readBook Review: Intriguing characters. Wonderful storyline.
Summary: 5 Stars
The story held my attention as many characters were introduced. The storyline was interesting to follow. Several chapters made it difficult to put the book down at a reasonable hour. I could relate to the characters as people I have dealt with in real life. I would recommend the book to anyone who wants the afternoon to disappear!Book Review: Is more than 5 stars an option
Summary: 5 Stars
This has got to be one of the best books I have ever read. Pilcher takes you in, warms your heart and then wraps you up in the tales of her story, which is spun so intricately with love. Her writing style leaves no corner of a setting or character uncovered. You can see the tilt of their head or an upturned smile, even the scent that they might be wearing or the sea breeze as the wind whips the hair against your face. She is a master.Penelope is in the later years of her life. After time spent in the hospital she is facing her mortality, along with the present she is remembering her life, loves, and secrets. One of which she has carried quietly over the decades. She is taking a good hard look at her 3 grown children who have not all turned out like a mother might hope for. As they quibble over Penelope's assets she is disgusted by their behavior.
I became so entranced by this book that it was all I wanted to read. There are several surprises along the way and the book is filled with characters that are quite memorable. I have read and enjoyed many of Pilcher's works, one of my favorites being WINTER SOLSTICE, but I have to say this was indeed my favorite of all time. Kelsana 9/01/01
Book Review: Kindle Edition of Shell Seekers
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my 'all time' favourite books I would like to see it come in a Kindle edition so I could have it forever. My hard cover and soft cover editions have long since fallen to bits.
