This review is from: Endearment (Paperback)

I love this book, one of my favorite Spencer novels!! She takes the concept of the "mail order bride" and crafts a beautiful, engaging love story around it. Karl and Anna are wonderful characters that readers will be able to relate to; Karl is strong, traditional, and of the quiet persuasion while Anna, typically, is his opposite, possessing an out-spoken, fiery personality. However, the central part of the story and the issues in their lives are often surprising and keep the story flowing, as do their reactions to it. "The Endearment" is a wonderful novel about how love can grow in unlikely places and that the heart can survive, build upon, and ultimately become stronger through many trials.

How one could find this boring, I have no clue...I guess everyone is different because I was ABSOLUTELY SWEPT AWAY by "The Endearment". I could not put this book down..I was addicted to it from page one. I LOVED Karl and Anna. I adored the way he talked to her..how he called her "Onnuh"...yes he angered me at times, but oh!!! Have I mentioned how much I LOVED this??!!! The lovesecenes were so emotional and sweet..not a hint of purple prose in sight. Karl and Anna were so unsure and in need of one another my heart was practically splitting in two just imagining them. This is one of those stories where I walked away in disbelief that the characters were not actually real people. I cannot say enough about this book..I would DEFINITELY recommend it.

This review is from: Endearment (Paperback)

I heard about how this novel shed a few tears from some friends of mine who had read it, so I decided to read "The Endearment". I liked how the reader got a chance to read about the characters' needs and own struggles, but, agreeing with another reviewer, it really was boring. I understood how great Anna and Karl loved each other, but, man, I'm glad I didn't buy this novel. Otherwise, it would just sit on my bookshelf till kingdom come because of the boredom the novel gives off.

I love Lavyrle Spencer as an author but I however found this book a bit dragging. I feel there was too much description on how to chop this or harness this. Read more
