This book was awesome! It's a "can't put it down book"! I was taken by surprise of the great story, cliff hangers this book has. It's a must read, you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

An Absolute Page Turner

"Read between the lines" was a very, very entertaining and pressure pumping. I say pressure pumping because it made you want to reach in the book and strangle Stephanie's character. This novel is so captivating you will not be able to part from it easily. I suggest you be prepared to be up until the wee hours of the morning reading this novel. You will tell yourself "I will only read one more chapter" but by the time you realize it, you would have read ten. Trust me, you will not want the 384 pages of this novel to come to an end. I commend the author for not using slang, broken english or profanity in her writing. The absense of these distracting and annoying attributes made this novel flow perfectly and very easy to read. I suggest you run not walk to the nearest book store to get your copy.

OUTSTANDING, I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN

This is a book worth reading. Lori Byrant Woolridge is a talented writer. This is an outstanding first effort. I found the story capitivating, I simply did not want to put it down. You will enjoy the story as well as Mrs. Woolridge's style of writing. Without giving anything away, I found the subject matter interesting, though it is somthing that I never think about. In that vein, I also found it a bit educational. But in the end, it was a novel with believable characters that was extremely entertaining to read. I certainly felt a full range of emotions angry, worried, sad and finally a sense of relief and elation. You will deny yourself a treat if you pass this one by. It is a story about people and how they deal with their ghost and about freedom and self-discovery. It is about greed and blind ambition. Finally, it is about the power of love, it's destructive and healing forces. ENJOY!!!!Another smilar book that I enjoyed was "Welcome To The World Baby Girl" By Fannie Flagg. I would give "Read Between The Lies" a better rating then this book, because it developed the characters in a more interesting manner. "Read Between The Lies" draws you in quicker and holds your attention better. Though by the end, these two books offer very curious subjects and interesting and exciting stories.

An outstanding book!!!

I just got through reading this book, it was outstanding. I know that Lori Bryant Woolridge will have much success, she is an outstanding author. The book kept my attention throughout its entirity. I am hoping that there will be a sequel, but if not I know that there will be much more to come from Lori Bryant Woolridge. I reccommend this to anyone who loves to read. Much success and blessings to Lori Bryant Woolridge.
