Summary: Great
Comment: I have just finished reading this book and am already looking for more titles by this author. It is one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read - and I have read many. I loved the style of writing and the humor. I only wish I could visit that bed & breakfast. It sounds like my idea of the perfect vacation. I will read this one again. And Bill Richardson, if you read this, please write more!!

Summary: A real gem!
Comment: I stumbled across this wonderful book and hesitated buying, and I'm glad I ended up taking it home. My husband and I shared reading this book outloud to each other, and there were times I couldn't read because I was laughing so hard. It's a perfect book for reading at the beach, or up at the lake cabin. The characters gelled together so well and the authors style of writing was delightful. The chapters were short and I looked forward to each escapade. The list of "good reads" was helpful to me. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed the book and found it quite unique. I heartily recommend it!

Summary: Rather tedious
Comment: I'm a great fan of Barbara Pym, Emily Eden, Margaret Oliphant, Anthony Trollope, PG Wodehouse, and similar writers of gentle (and not-so-gentle) social humor. When I found this book, then, I was pleased to find another promising author that seemed to fit this type.
The first chapter was amusing enough, written from one of the Bachelor Brother's points of view. Richardson has some very nice turns of phrase and is very good with his imagery. He's also skilled at changing the "voice" of the narrator for each chapter. The book very quickly palled for me after that first chapter, though, and it quickly became just a tedious read. I found the characters uninteresting, the setting only mildly engaging, and the overall lack of plot dull.
Fortunately, it was also a very short book, which is good for anyone who has to finish whatever book they start. As light summer reading, one could do worse that this light-weight volume, but one could undoubtedly also do better.
