good book

I am in the process of reading "wednesday letters" now.

The Wednesday Letters

This is was a story that makes you feel like you really know the characters in real life and it has such a wonderful conclusion and such a real feel to it. The fact that in the book I received no one had apparently opened the letter contained in the envelope on the back flap was sad as it was part of the ending of the wonderful book. I certainly opened it and read it and felt like it gave closure to the story.

A fabulous book!

What a great book. It made me laugh and cry. The relationship within the family was so realistic and believable to anyone that has siblings. I loved the local landmarks and the pride of living in a small town. The ending was so shocking and unexpected I had to read the last two chapters over again to really believe it. Sit down and be prepared to enjoy a really fabulous book!

Wright's best book yet!

I thoroughly enjoyed The Wednesday Letters. As in Wright's previous book, The Christmas Jars, the title is also the central "hook" of the story: a sweet, selfless, and ingenious idea that the reader wants to incorporate immediately into his or her own life. Once again, Wright has surrounded his title concept with dynamic and real-life characters, universal themes of love and compassion, and a story that will keep you turning the pages until the rewarding conclusion.

Makes you think

How often do we really think about the choices we make and how those choices affect others? Wednesday Letters skillfully deals with choices and consequences in a way that is thought provoking and life changing. Reading this book made me reconsider my feelings about forgiveness and redemption. If you want to read a story that shows the power of commitment and a good attitude, then Wednesday Letters is for you!

Practically perfect

One of my favorite things about reading is finding an author whose writing I enjoy...and then seeing that author get better and better with each book. I enjoyed Wright's novel The Christmas Jars very much, but The Wednesday Letters blew me away. Wright's sense of pacing is impeccable; his knack for clever and incisive dialogue is a delight. His characters are flawed, genuine, humorous, noble, and lovable. And the Wednesday Letters themselves--and the idea to begin your own--is nothing short of genius.
