THE LIFE TO HAVE

THIS BOOK WAS VERY EYE OPENING. THIS AUTHOR IS A WONDERFUL WRITER AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS NEXT BOOK.

A Well Written First Book

Be prepared for a long afternoon of reading. Reading this book is a great way to past a weekend. The contents of a love story with a twist of a mystery has made this book a must read for all.As the brother of the author, I was impressed with the realization of the characters. With a remarkable understanding of Harrision and Loan you have brought me back to our childhood. Not only has this book bought back memories but it also brought a sense of who I am and where I came from. Keep up the good work brother and hurry up with the next one.

A Feast For Thought

FINDING CHISOLM is an outstanding first novel by Mr. Peake. His development of the characters and plot keeps one's interest at a high level throughout. His thoughtful insight into the subtleties of racism will give all non minorities food for thought. His poignant description of the attitudes of the residents of Chisolm and Harrison Sanders' conflicting reactions should reach all people--majority or minority. I highly recommend this book, and I'm eagerly awating Mr. Peake's next work.

Just Plain Ole' Good Reading!

The only chance I get to read these days in traveling back and forth to work on the train. At over 350 pages, I finished this book in less than a week and even put aside the last 20 pages to enjoy with my coffee on Saturday morning. It only got better as it went along. Kevin's descriptions of Harrison and Loan and Chisolm made it so easy to 'see' them in my mind. It was a love story with a little mystery twist to it and a kind of happily ever after ending. A toast to Mr. Peake's first novel..... how soon till the next one???

Bold . Extraordinary. Blockbuster - Great Discussion Book

This is a rich first novel by Kevin Peake. I salute the author on his character development. Bravo Mr. Peake!This book is a great, hard-to-put-down. Visual flashbacks. It's a mystery; it's a love story; it's a coming-of-age story. This book has love and hate and passion and understanding. The book has a great message and something for EVERY reader. Mr. Peake uncovered "just enough" of Harrison to really understand what it must be like to be a successful black businessman and to get under-the-skin of the character.There are sure to be many lively and memorable conversations at our Spring Book Club meeting since we have selected FINDING CHISOLM for our next read. I am grateful to the author for opening my eyes. What a warm and refreshing read.
