 Sparkle Plenty September 26, 2008
This enjoyable book proved a quick read. The straightforward way the story is laid out allows the reader to zip through it in no time. I learned a bit about pyrotechnics--fireworks--how they're assembled. I feel that's a bonus!
The character of Susannah is a bit of a stretch. She's presented as a novice to church attendance, yet she has a nagging brother who is a long-time believer, married to a believer. I feel that even though she may never have attended a church, she would have heard more of the language of church people from her brother and sister-in-law. In spite of that, I liked Susannah. In fact, I liked Quinn too, the super shy thirty-year-old bachelor who is immediately attracted to the Yankee. Another interesting character is the city of Mobile, AL. Although I've never visited, I now feel familiar with the city. The landlady, Elva Kay, makes a hummingbird cake that sounds so yummy, I actually Goggled it and found the recipe!
There are just enough hints in the plot for this reader to figure out the twist, which I suppose means its not twisted enough. The ending is drawn out a bit, but some will appreciate the final fireworks display.
 God's Fireworks July 10, 2008
I enjoyed this book.
God lit a fire under Susannah in more ways than one. She herself was a bit of a firecracker but God caused her to explode into a beautiful person through trials, tribulations, and triumphs. Ok, a bit cheesy, I know, but couldn't help myself.
It was funny in some parts and overall refreshing.
As a southern girl I liked how it depicted the south.
It was a nice book and I look forward to reading more from Elizabeth White.
Slow and enjoyable May 6, 2008
This is a great mystery and Christian exploration. These two characters really offer a lot to a reader. You get the long time Christian in Quinn and the new Christian in Susannah. The fireworks investigation is enjoyable and runs along smoothly. There are some surprises along with the plot line - I definitely didn't see the ending coming! I do wish we would have gotten more information from Jana from Fair Game (Quinn's sister), though as I'm a HUGE fan of continuity and series! Definitely a great book for summer time reading!
GREAT READ! Will be looking for more from this author! March 1, 2007
This is the first book I've read by Elizabeth White and I was hooked from the first page. The story made you want to laugh, cry, kiss someone you love, kick something and hang the villian by his toes!!!... you name it, the author brough them all together. Going on line right now to find more by Ms. White.
Great Christian read February 7, 2007
This book took me longer to get through then most books but it was very well written and funny. It was hard for me to like Susannah throughout most of the book but at the end she gets a good dose of character. I loved that it was set in the south! I definatly suggest reading this book.
