Title: The Secret Life of
Copernicus H Stringfellow
Author: LorinBarber
Review: I just finished this book yesterday on the way home from St Louis and I was sad to see it end. It was funny, thoughtful, loving and just plain full of laughs. After a nine hour trip to St Louis to spend a day and a nine hour trip back I needed some “twinkies.”
Copernicus H Stringfellow is a good Samaritan,
who has lots of money and loves to give it away to those in need. Example I can give without spoiling the book,
he is giving a ride to a hitch hiker when the guy pulls a gun on him. He knows the kids is young and doesn’t
realize the trouble he is in so he does some interesting things to talk him out
of it- gives him a fistful of $100 bills and sends him on his way. Also, he buys a house in a rundown
neighborhood and spends a fortune to buy it, let alone fix it up and then works
in the neighborhood to help them fix up also.
The book has a lesson to teach and it is
taught well. "Do unto others as you
would have others do unto you"!
This book is well written although at times I got a bit bogged down in a
little too much detail especially near the end of the book, which reminds me I
never saw those two endings coming I can tell you that!
So if you want a good clean read with lots of
fun and a surprise ending or two, this is your book.
I would love another book similar to
this! I am giving this book a 5 for all
around fun!
PS My husband is now reading it and he
laughing out loud, very annoying I must say- I am sure I didn't do that!!
Thanks to Eileen for this review.
My Husbands review off of Amazon:
My wife is a book reviewer. As she read the book kept commenting "you will love this book", laughed and would say things like "I didn't see that coming." or "I don't think that added to the book." But in the end told me I would love the book. I had a really hard time putting the book down as I was laughing so much. I finished this book in record time and with so much laughter. I imagine Lorin Barber must be a fun person to be around with so much humor in one book.
There are times you wonder why is this in the book and did it really matter but I really don't care as it was a fun book to read and you can't help but feel better after laughing so much.
