Raw, emotional, wonderful, February 23, 2009

As a mother and a cancer survivor I could relate to so many of the emotions Kelly Corrigan skillfully expresses in this memoir. I was amazed at her candor, I don't know if I could have been as open about some aspects of my past as she is. But she holds nothing back from the reader. And as a result this book is completely engrossing. If you read it, be prepared to be consumed by it. Oh, and I guarantee you'll fall in love with Kelly's dad, George ("Greenie") Corrigan like I did.

Captivating, enlightening novel, September 18, 2008

To put it simply, I absolutely LOVED Loving Frank. Nancy Horan is clearly a gifted writer in that she has a great command of the language but is also accessible to any reader. I couldn't put this book down. I knew very little of Frank Lloyd Wright and found myself searching the internet for photos of his architecture (it is frequently beautifully described in the book). No one in my all-female book club agreed with Mamah's decision to leave her children, but we all couldn't help but like her. Everyone said this is one of the best books our club has ever read in our nearly ten years! I love books that educate me AND entertain me. Loving Frank did both beautifully.

My kids love the Professor Pocket CDs and immediately started picking up Spanish vocabulary. The nice thing is, so did I, so I can help further their learning! I highly recommend this product!
