I read it a long time back. I'll tell you what I remember. \nLike all Arthur Hailey books it was very well researched. It was almost difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction. The details of the operations of a hotel that has been shown is wonderful.\nThe novel definitely revolves around the hotel industry but is much more than that.\nIt has many different threads that emanate from the hotel, and it covers several other aspects of human life. \nFor example, the childish character of Marsha Preyscott, which makes her “very sincerely” narrate the story of the happy married life of her governess to Peter McDermott to pursue him to believe that her decision to marry him is all right. This was when her governess was not married at all. And this was not a mental delusion or anything, it was plain simple lie she had told him to be able to pursue him to marry her!!\nThen there was the issue of black-white discrimination which was handled when the author brought up the issue that came up in a Dentists’ convention when the hotel persisted \nAnd why, not surprisingly, he was right. The convention did not pull out certainly, even if details varied a bit!!\nThe hotel is having monetary problems. The rich poor discrimination is also brought up by the author. But, he has his protagonist act out in the correct way. This act of kindness by the hotel's assistant manager finds a new buyer for the hotel. The story ends with the change of hotel ownership changes. The competence of the assistant manager is recognized and he becomes the EVP, essentially responsible for running the operation. In the very beginning he takes the stand that the hotel should be desegregated. This was bold, but he gets on with it and gets it accepted too. Later there is a conversation with a black character of the novel, who has always been skeptical of manager’s intentions when he advocated desegregation…\nAll in all it was a great read.\nI am sorry I am unable to give more details.

funny, i just read it!  it is a great book.  it is very interesting and a good adventure story, of sorts.  there are just a lot of cool perspectives that the author displays.  I ended up really liking the book, but when i first finished it i was a little disappointed.  however once i thought about it, i decided it was really good.  you should read it!

Yes, its a great book and opens up all new ideas about life and religion.  It really makes you think. It was written by Neale Donald Walsh. One of my favourite things written in it was, 'No one will judge you ever, for why, and how, could God judge God's own creation and call it bad?'

YES i have read Gregor the overlander its the best book ever!! Im waiting for the forth book in the chronicles to come out in may. I don't think it would be a good movie because she describes everything so well that i think the movie would be a let down. Who is your favorite character? Mine is Boots, She is so funny! Oh and i also like Luxa. No i have never read hoot but after seeing the commercial for the movie i think i'll read the book then watch the movie!

hello laurel! i think the book by john hagee titled "attack on america" is a great book, the reason why i like the book is because it reminds me that if i don,t get my self together in hell i will lift up my eyes.i also like this book because it is a reminder that we only have little time left, i think that everyone should read this book and have a discussion about the things that are unfolding before our very eyes...

Oh! I love that story. We read it last semester. Have you read the story? It's really funny to read it and then think in the gutters. Our sub, Scott, taught us that. lol Anyway... okay... hm... thesis statement. \n\n"There are stories about fish and the like, but none quite like this. The boy in the story learns to grow after learning that his beloved Sheila is not what he thought she was. In the story the boy struggling with what he loves and what he thinks he is in love with. ([The story teaches about letting go, forgetting and growing up] <-- thesis)." \n\nOkay, to clarify the thesis:\n\nLetting go: Letting go of the fish and moving on.\nForgetting: He forgets that he can't very well catch a fish without her seeing, so he loses it. \nGrowing up: After he learns that Sheila Mant is not what he thought she but, but in fact a skany who9re (lol) he learns to move on and grow up. \n\nI hope this helped.

Yes, I have read it.  Actually, my mom knew the women in it before the Lafferty brothers killed here.  The deal with this book is that it is definetely written by an individual who is not a fan of Mormonism and his bias is obvious.\nThat being said the actual factual information about the Lafferty's and the FLDS group is really very good and the book does a good job of laying these problems out.  Krakeur is also correct in pointing out that these at least partially results from a larger problem in Mormonism.  Mormonism is like Islam in that can breed extremism if not careful.  Hopefully Mormons will be more successful in dealing with these issues than muslims.\nOverall, I thought the book was an excellent historical work on some touchy issues that are not discusses as much as they should but I wish it would have been a little more objective.

Was a very informative book. Glad he wrote it.\n\nEven copied down a portable list of the things he suggests to live a cleaner healthier lifestyle.\n\nStill it can be hard to impliment all his strategies. Some cost money. Plus healthy for you food is sizably more expensive than the stuff that's bad for you.\nI think if I was able to impliment more of his ideas I would achieve the results he mentions, but haven't to date.\nHope other folks respond, as I'm curious too.

I loved the book better than I liked the movie. I cried both times I read it!\n\nBut yes, I think Meryl Streep did a good job in this role. And, Clint, of course he did too. I wonder if there is going to be a sequel of this movie, I would love to see it.\n\nI think the reason I loved this movie is because it related to me at that time, I was in love with a man in a long-distance relationship. But he was married! I want to watch this movie again and see if it still makes me cry. Probably not.\n\nShe made the right decision by staying home with her family. Those children needed their mom and she had a "past" now. Those things you treasure in your memory and that is what makes life interesting, those little secrets...

I flippin love it! I am so worried about the cheerleader. What is up with her creepy step dad? Could you imagine waking up on a table in a morgue half way through your autopsy all cut open. If I could have any of the powers I think it would be to read minds BUT be able to control it and do it on will. I love it- it just keeps you wanting more. \n\nS♥

I have the book.  I've read the book.  It is non-fiction.  It is a book about serious spiritual warfare.  I have no reason to disbelieve any of it.  I believe Rebecca's experiences are so "severe," because she had dabbled in the occult before she became a Christian.  In other words, she opened herself up to the troubles she has faced.\n\nI do not believe what you will read in this book will be a typical representation of what most Christians will face, spiritual-warfare-speaking, in their lifetimes.  But those who've been involved in witchcraft, the occult, etc. prior to becoming a Christian already have Satan's full attention.  And he does NOT like to lose a good servant.  So he tries to get them back any way he can.  Rebecca is one of those people.\n\nBe prepared for nightmares if you read the book.

A sermon i gave this last Yom Kippur:::\n\nI learned the hard way that Ecclesiastes is Right!\nLet me explain.\n\nMost people wrongly believe that the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes is a downer, a cynical, depressing book, and i have never never felt that way! I always thought that the book was one of the most uplifting books of the Bible, and i guess i need to explain that, as well, first.\n\nThe Book of Ecclesiastes is known for verses like, \n\n'to everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under the heavens, a time to be born and a time to die...' and:\n\n'there is nothing new under the sun.'  and:\n\n'vanity of vanities, all is vanity.' (horrible translation!)  and:\n\n'the sun also rises.'\n\nThe basic idea to Ecclesiastes is quite simply put, 'a hundred years from now, no one will know the difference.' And most people stop trying to understand the book after this. But they miss the point when they stop! The best way to say this is, 'a hundred years from now, no one will know the difference, AND SO WHAT??' \n\nIn other words, yes, its true, a hundred years from now, no one will know the difference, and so the successes you have now in your life, you must do for your sake, because they are meaningful to You, because they give your life meaning, and not because they will make any difference down the road. \n\nMy wife died 4 and half years ago. She was bright and funny, and clever, and raised two young daughters as best she could from the depth of all her illnesses. And a hundred years from now, no one will know it, but so what? She did it because it gave her pleasure and pride to see her daughters, my children, OUR kids, grow up, full of life and love and self-assured. It gave her life, no matter how short, meaning, and that is the only person it had to be meaningful to, not those who will live in 100 years. \n\nMy brother died almost two years ago. He started the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, yes, that M.I.T. at the age of 15! He was brilliant and he had a deep-seated passion for Justice, and he worked for Justice until he got sick. A hundred years from now, no one will know or care that he was brilliant and passionate, and so what? He did what he did because HE felt it to be important, because that is what gave his life meaning, and that is all, in the scheme of things, that mattered!\n\nMy mom now has lost her memories. She at one time, ran 5 businesses, got Broadway shows to come through Springfield Missouri, raised three sons, appeared on stage with actors now gone, too, and if a hundred years from now no one will know the difference, then so what? She did what was meaningful to her, and that is what is important. \n\nSo long as we remain within the boundaries of right, and what is just, and fair, in accordance with what Gd wants from us, we are free to make our lives as meaningful as we can. That is why i love the book of Ecclesiastes, because it frees us to make our own lives as meaningful as we can, in whatever ways we want, so long as we stay within the boudaries that Gd has set up for us. And that can be scary, because it means it is up to us, and us alone, even as we are free to do whatever we want as we live out our very short life on this earth! Life has no meaning whatsoever outside of whatever meaning WE put into it. It is therefore up to us, and only up to us, alone, to make our lives meaningful to ourselves, and there is, in the final analysis, no one else to blame but ourselves, if we dont put 60 seconds of life into each minute we live!\n\nThat is what i knew a long time ago, when i first read Ecclesiastes in the Hebrew Scriptures, but that is what i Realized with so many recent losses in my life. \n\nLife is what we make of it, and if 100 years from now, no one else knows the difference, SO WHAT, WE know the difference, so does Gd, and in the end, that is all who need to know.\n\n                Ecclesiastes 9:7-10 7 Go thy way, eat
