Essential Managers: Achieving Excellence
It's a good book, a concentration of good tips how to manage the career developing.
Mad Pursuit
I bought this book thinking it would be about Miles Davis. But it wasn't. It was about animals, or something. And animals that sing opera. So I suppose that is sort of like jazz music.I liked it anyway.I liked the cover, too.If you want a good book that isn't what you thought it would be, this is the one to buy.
Mad Pursuit
MAD PURSUIT is charming, funny, and touching. The magic aspects work wonderfully well and add greatly to the overall effect. Felicity is as good an animal character as I've ever encountered. The cast of characters is truly Dickensian. As an opera fan, I especially enjoyed Basilio, Figaro, and Cherubino Dunkley. It flows effortlessly from beginning to end without a single sour note.
Mad Pursuit
Maggie Featherstone, heroine of Marilyn M. Lowery's latest novel, MAD PURSUIT, finds herself uprooted from her beloved home in the Hollywood Hills and transported to England, where her handsome and relentlessly ambitious husband, Gerald, has accepted a position at Lloyd's. Maggie's "new" house, a gloomy, ancient pile in the English countryside, has been chosen and furnished in execrable taste by her husband's secretary, the ubiquitous Miss Always. Imagining that she and Gerald will laugh about it, Maggie soon realizes that blonde and breasty Miss Always is not to be laughed away. Maggie decides to follow her husband and Miss Always; her"mad pursuit" takes her (disguised in a wonderful variety of hats) all over London, into Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, to a Dickensian law office, to another man's bed, and even into other dimensions of time. This wonderful book is witty, both sweet and sour, full of surprises, written in an elegant, rollicking style, with an eye to personal foibles as well as sorrows -- and with a generous bonus of social idiocies. I couldn't put it down and I couldn't guess what Maggie's decision would be until the very end, when the author told me, and I said, "Yes!"
Mad Pursuit
I read Mad Pursuit in two sitting, thoroughly enjoying Maggie Featherstone who did not let herself sink into the position of agrieved wife. Her own strong characteristics saved her from being the victim and made the story into a easy-to-digest life lesson. We should all have such a magical cast of characters in our lives to help us see our own strengths.
