A great love story

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 28, 2010

This is a sweet love story set in the 1940's. I liked how it made me think about how different life was then. Marriage and commitment were much stronger. I felt that the characters were true to life, real people with real feelings and emotions. I also liked that the love between Jake and Lily was an all-consuming love from the moment that they met. Their lives were changed forever. I also enjoyed the plot twists in the...

Duty...there is no ordinary love

By Thriftbooks.com User, December 17, 2009

`Fireworks over Toccoa' is beautiful story from the start of the author's notes about the Zambellis to Ken Burn's quote," there are no ordinary lives". Jeffery Stepakoff has done research into both the subject of fireworks, their beauty and construction and the era of the end of WWII. There are interesting asides about Coca Cola manufacturing in the war both for the invading American forces and the captured European territories...

Recipe for a Perfect Book:

By Thriftbooks.com User, November 28, 2009

In large pot add one part "The Bridges of Madison County", two parts "The Notebook", cover with Coca Cola and sprinkle with one heaping teaspoon pyrotechnics. Consume in front of a crackling fire with a bottle of your favorite wine, keeping tissues handy in case of overflow. Author Stepakoff has crafted the perfect book. I was so riveted by FIREWORKS OVER TOCCOA that I stayed up half the night reading. I won't describe the...
