Bridge to a Distant Star

I enjoyed the various stories, but found several aspects pretty unbelievable, especially in Michal's story. I don't want to post any spoilers, but I felt a lot of her story was pretty weak, especially the part about her roommate. I also thought the book's ending was a little too pat and unrealistic.......more

I liked this book, but think it would have worked better if the stories were more intertwined, the 3 clear sections were a good idea, but I felt I had lost track of some characters at the end. Also, because of the 3 clear sections I felt that there were bits of the stories that I wanted to know more......more

Wow! I loved this book. I became so involved at one point I need "Oh no!" I loved the characters and did not want to lose any of them. The ending was perfect . I would like a sequel but feel it isn't needed. This is the first book I've read by Carolyn Williford but it will definitely not be the last.......more

Three interconnected stories depict the same tragedy. In each case there is a seed of hope for reconciliations for the separate parties. A child has faith to imply a must unusual ending. It's a great read partially based on true events.......more

Oh, the fragments! Overall, the book was ok.....Part One was soooooo slow and Maureen was just annoying. Frivolous details and fragments made me want to give up, but the fearsome fascination I have regarding bridges made me want to read to the end. The other parts were better; 2.5 stars overall.......more
