A quote never to forget: "In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, and never again, no matter how many lifetimes you live." The book revolving around this idea makes the story strong and intriguing. (

Bridges of Madison County was a book that crossed by path by accident. I am glad it did. I actually had to finish the book in mutliple sitting because I was crying so hard I could no longer read the words on the page. (

THIS WAS A GREAT LOVE STORY. I WAS PULLED IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. I WANTED HER TO JUMP OUT OF THE TRUCK AND THEN A PART OF ME KNEW SHE SHOULD STAY WITH HER HUSBAND. (

I saw the movie first and i was pleased when i read the book the movie was almost totally in line with the book. I like it better when the movie is more like the book. Excellent reading.
