Krauthammer said physics was coming along and another scientist would have stumbled on the Theory of relativity but Churchill won WWII. Krauthammer always said Churchill was larger than life and truly the man of the century. I read this book but Churchill's greatness did not come through for me. If Churchill was great or even special, Rubin did not do a good job of making that shine through for me. This book contradicts itself in many chapters. If you want to get to know Churchill, I didn't get it in this book. Rubin needs to stick with her happiness tips....more
Can't the book be about two best friends. Four is rough to keep track of. They are too similar and I keep reminding myself who the character is. Why aCan't the book be about two best friends. Four is rough to keep track of. They are too similar and I keep reminding myself who the character is. Why are the girls defined by the guys they are involved with? I read the book because Liz and Sarah wrote it. I wanted to get a feel for their writing. It's too teenagerish. It's creepy with the teacher being interested in a student. Even if she graduated- Harper is 17 ! What. normal teacher of maybe 23 or 24 is interested in a 17 year old?...more

I listened to the book and hearing Cooper and Vanderbilt was heart warming. I love Vanderbilt's voice. I live near Old Westbury and have visited the Vanderbilt Museum there. I remember Gloria Vanderbilt for her jeans. That was a very tiny part of the book. I get the feeling her name was used but she had nothing to do with the business. What happened to Chris and Stan. They were not mentioned. How could Vanderbilt just dis-own two sons after her own estrangement from her Mom? ...more

Why does the thread of this book point to policies that won't let the rest of us enjoy what you got? Hey Laruen- the USA is behind in education, math, science, etc. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to teach kids that are bright and advanced and can be taught demanding material that will make America greater, stronger and richer. Hey Lauren- where do you live? Do you live in a place like Paradise? Maybe you should be the first to move out....more

A lot of good ideas but the ending is bad. Dead bodies stink. How could they leave a body in the ceiling and not expect to be caught. Where were the maggots? A five year old would not go to jail. A five year old can't push a teenager down a flight of stairs. Why wouldn't they have changed the child's bedroom with all those rooms and no one ever checked the armiore? A good premise but the ending didn't hold water....more
