At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother.

Tom Hanks rocks
Revisado: 04-09-25
Having Tom read this book was a great decision. There is nothing this man can’t do. It felt like an old friend was telling you a story. The book itself was very good with lots of life lessons woven throughout. I hope you enjoy it.

Interesting but BORING!!!!
Revisado: 03-30-25
This story repeats the same facts so many time it could be shortened by 76%. I learned a lot of very interesting things about the truth behind the escape. The author tries to paint these men as something more than what they were. Which is a group of criminals from a very early age who were always looking for the quick buck. But we’re so stupid that they got caught all of the time. So there not heroes just guys who had a penchant for escaping prison.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 573
Frederick Fife was born with an extra helping of kindness in his heart. If he borrowed your car, he’d return it washed with a full tank of gas. The problem is there’s nobody left in Fred’s life to borrow from. At eighty-two, he’s desperately lonely, broke, and on the brink of homelessness. But Fred’s luck changes when, in a bizarre case of mistaken identity, he takes the place of grumpy Bernard Greer at the local nursing home. Now he has warm meals in his belly and a roof over his head—as long as his poker face is in better shape than his prostate and that his look-alike never turns up.

A little over the top
Revisado: 03-03-25
Overall a good story and the narration was excellent. But the constant life and death battles got a little boring. The ending was disappointing I was hoping for something different. But I don’t want to spoil it for someone else. I recommend this and hope you enjoy it.

Fugitive Colors is a gripping debut novel of an artist's indomitable vengeance after World War II. Julian Klein, a young American artist, rebels against his religious upbringing and is eager for the artistic freedom of 1930s Paris. He flees Chicago only to find himself consumed by a world in which a paintbrush is far more lethal than a gun. An artist turned spy, Julian at the same time competes with jealous inferior artists who feverishly attempt to destroy those with true talent.

On a serene night in 1953, Sally Mason, a dedicated wife and mother of two, drives a twisting road on her way home from night school. Suddenly, a mysterious bluish-white light descends over the road. Terrified, Sally slams on the brakes. After a flash of bright light nearly blinds her, she passes out, awakening to the persistent knock of a police officer on her car window. When she sees the officer and remembers her frightening experience, she screams and faints, and is rushed to the hospital.
