5.0 out of 5 stars August Excellent Story, Feb 18 2002

By	Funny Bone - See all my reviews

Like all of Rossner's books, August was very entertaining. I love her sense of humor and the characers she develops are very interesting. I rediscovered Rossner recently when I was in a used book store and purchased Perfidia. I read Looking for Mr. Goodbar years ago and remembered that is was well-written. Perfidia was delightful and the best story I had found to read in years. After reading Perfidia, I went directly to the library to check out any book Rossner has written. They have all been excellent. In fact, they are so good, that I am planning to purchase all of them and reread them every year or so.

5.0 out of 5 stars what a journey this book is!, Mar 13 2001

By A Customer

I read this book while on holiday in Goa, India and I must say that it kept me spellbound from start to finish. What a page-turner this novel is! If you're at all interested in the workings of the human mind and if you want to see what complex psychotherapy is all about, then read this. I feel sorry for the reader who gave this book only one star, complaining that nothing happens. The story told is a masterpiece of psychotherapy-writing and should be included as a required text in psychotherapy institutes'training programs.

5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful novel, Aug 21 2000

By A Customer

I first read AUGUST at its hardcover publication, some 20 years ago, and it still holds up as an enthralling, gripping, story. Even the second time around, I couldn't stop reading to find out, at a new level, how the characters got from beginning to end... even though I knew what that end was. It's a unique additional bonus that it makes you realize how your own memories work to influence your present. You can be reading it just for the story line.... and still have incredible 'Aha's!'
