Customer Reviews

smooth transaction

The book is wonderful. It also arrived in a timely fashion and in the stated condition.

Loved the Modern Love Stories

I love reading the NY Times column, "Modern Love," and to have an entire book of these columns is quite delicious. Fine writing, humor, tragedy, hope - it's all that and more.

Modern Love for new lover

I would recommend this book to all who are interested in all aspects of "LOVE": woman, man, marriage, partnership, childbirth, feelings, concepts, etc. The stories are honest and real. Reading then in the first person really engages me into the stories. I gained a lot of perspective of what's love in the 21 centry.

review, plus responding to Sue H.

...um, well I'm not accomplished at ALL as a writer and I made it in - That's the first piece I've ever written that was published in a national publication and certainly the only piece of my writing that's ever been in a book...so the bios just make us all SEEM accomplished I think. And Dan Jones is a really really good editor - great to work with. I am so glad to be in such good company - and I loved reading the stories all over again, even though they were quite memorable the first time I read them in the NYT. I am sure there will be another collection out anon...Jennifer J.
