Ugh. Just no.
This was a good historical fiction read about the disaster of 9/11. The author did a great job of creating a story that “truly could have taken place.”(Author’s Note) Christian themes are present throughout, and there is no vulgar language used.Memorable Quotes:(Pg.117)-“Jake looked at the other firefighters. They were wide-eyed, but they still went about their business, voices calm, loading patients on their backs, and operating on a sort of automatic pilot-the result of training that would hav...
My apologies to all lovers of Christian fiction. I can barely tolerate it, but thought I'd give this book a try since my twin sister has recommended it for years and because I wanted to read something about 9/11 on the 20th anniversary of the event. Karen Kingsbury is definitely a better writer than most CF authors, but there were parts of this book that were really hard to like.Half way through, I knew the twist that was coming and hated how the two wives involved (who didn't know the twist was...
One Tuesday Morning:This is the first book I ever read by, Karen Kingsbury. I saw it at the store not long after 911, and because of that, wasn't sure I was up to reading anything about 911. Only because of the fireman on the cover, I bought it. My husband's a fireman.Well, I was quickly drawn into the story. It was well written and a great read, keeping you turning the pages, wanting to see what happens next.I finished the book, and thought it was really good; I couldn't get the brother, Clay,
OH MY GOSH!!!!! I have no clue what to say, but, One Tuesday Morning completely broke my heart! I was such a sobbing mess while reading this heartbreaking beautiful written novel. One Tuesday Morning is the first book in the 9/11 series by Karen Kingsbury. I have never read Karen Kingsbury before, but i'm glad I picked this one up. Have a cozy blanket, a cup of tea, and box of tissues close by because you will need them! There were definitely no dry eyes in sight. "How dare they take aim at the
I wasn't very sure about this book. My first thought was that if it wasn't written with a lot of compassion then it would really do a great disservice to those that lost their lives on 9/11. However, the book came highly recommended from several people so I decided to try it.I had mixed reactions to the book. The thing that really stuck out the most was that the plot simply wasn't believable. However, this is fiction so I pushed that thought aside. The writing was OK but didn't wow me. The chara...
What a strange, creepy story. The whole time I was thinking, how could this possibly end well? (It doesn’t & yet it seems like the author thinks it does.) This is like a Lifetime movie, but with Pet Semetary vibes. And on top of the bizarreness is the fact that the 9/11 attack seems irrelevant—it could have been some other disaster. I can’t believe there is a satisfaction guarantee sticker on this book (ha)! Just… nope.
This is a reread for me and coming up on 9/11 I thought it would be a great time to reread this book. You follow 2 families. One couple who is happily married. The husband is a fire fighter in New York. He is a Christian and prays daily for his wife to accept Christ as her own Savior. Then another family. The husband has no time for his wife and son, climbing the corporate ladder is all that he can think about. Both men ends up in the Twin towers that day and only one will make it out alive. Whe...
I had a hard time with this book. The fictionalized story placed in the 9/11 event felt too contrived. I know this is fickle of me to say as I love plenty of books that are a fictional story placed in a historical event. I wonder if this one just didn't feel right to me, because I remember 9/11 so clearly, and most other historical fiction I read contains events from before my lifetime. This book is pretty heavy on the Christianity aspect with lots of scripture quoting, prayer, and church attend...
This is one in a series of two fictional books about 9/11. Great characterization. I felt as though I were there with those people experiencing the fear, the horror, and hopelessness along with them. Truly enjoyable book by Karen Kingsbury. I've read others of hers, but to me, this is the most outstanding one I've read.
Very few times have I teared up reading. I did with one of my own authored books, but I can't think of a one fully tear-jerking as this one. I actually had to blow my nose twice. Anyway, this story was gripping from the first work. I honestly would not be surprised if a story like this might have existed. However, the events of that day are so ingrained in my mind and heart. It's true when they say you remember everything that happened the moment you find out about something that tragic. I was i...
One Tuesday Morning by Karen Kingsbury is a tragic reminder of the events that happened on September 11 of 2001. Although this book is fictional, it is couldn’t be more accurate with this historical information within it. If I did not know any better, I may not have known it was not a true story. The attention that Kingsbury paid to detail is remarkable, and it really takes the book to a whole new level. While the characters may be fictitious, the content could not be rooted in the truth any mor...
