5.0 out of 5 stars Conrad rules, October 6, 2010

Austinite (Texas) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Secret Sharer (Kindle Edition)

This is a great short story and I highly recommend it. This kindle edition has a few type-o's that you only notice if you are reading to savor every word, like I was, but other than that it is perfect. I agree with the other reviewer who said it is haunting; it is haunting in that it stays with you in an agreeable way. I finished it two days ago and am still happily turning it over in my mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leadership, December 14, 2008

Alaska (Kalamazoo, MI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Secret Sharer (Paperback)

This novel was recommended as one of the Harvard Business Review's top reads on leadership. After reading, I selected it as the primary text for a new leadership team. It sparked wonderful conversation and thought. Over a year later, the team still talks about "getting too close to the shore".
