[speaker002:] I've read I've read a few of hers I was just thinking I I just read a trilogy of Mary Higgins Clark

[speaker001:] oh it's wonderful
[speaker002:] where did you get it
[speaker001:] well my daughter gave it to me uh quite a while ago to read and uh then uh uh I guess what brought it to mind uh was that uh last time I went to see the movie  and uh it did not disappoint me and it's it's just so well written of course Fanny Flag wrote it
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and uh it's uh it's got humor in it and a little bit of suspense suspense
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and uh uh and you'll cry
[speaker002:] so well I loved Steel Magnolias I heard it was similar to that
[speaker001:] well I think I didn't read Steel Magnolias but I think it's probably better than Steel Magnolias were the movie is anyway and Steel Magnolias was tremendous
[speaker002:] yeah that's one of my favorites
[speaker001:] but uh this one it just uh sort of has a well my husband enjoyed it I I just kind of mixed you know mixed feelings I didn't know whether he would it might be a woman's movie
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] but uh he just he just raved about the actresses in it that they were so good and everything was real and it was just really good and the reason my daughter gave it to me is because my mother is in a nursing home
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and I think that uh she was trying to give me something to kind of make me get a message of some kind
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but uh it was good
[speaker002:] I might go get it because I I'm reading Newsweek right now and I'm going to be finished in a minute and and Bookstop stays open till eleven
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum well I would highly recommended it and don't get discouraged in the first few chapters
[speaker002:] oh I I don't do that I read those I read pretty quickly
[speaker001:] because well you may have to go I do to and I had to go back and reread because you have to get the they're telling two stories at once
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and you have to get it straight and get the names straight that's the thing get all the names straight
[speaker002:] that could be difficult but uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh where you you're working with two stories and once you get that down it flows and you can't wait to get to the next part it uh it's one of those that you get caught up in
[speaker002:] I read uh Prince of Tides I haven't seen that movie yet
