The Frog, the Wizard, and the Shrew

I will admit that the book was gift and I may not have purchased it while browsing the bookstore. (I had been more of a non-fiction reader.) HOWEVER, I found myself transfixed by the mystery surrounding the believable, but intriguing life of the main character, Ann Marie Light. There is something to be said for a book that, after it has been put down, leaves you wondering where the author is taking you and the role of the colorful characters surrounding Ann Marie (including the life-and-death struggle of a much-endeared cactus plant). You know that you are in for an intriguing read from the moment that the telephone jack is found behind her apartment bathroom toilet by a classic car loving telephone repairman. As I am now deeply into her book FAVORED TO WIN, this reader is quickly becoming a Maryann Myers fan.

The Frog, the Wizard and the Shrew is another wonderful book by the Author Mary Ann Myers. I have read several of her other novels and when I saw this one I had to have another book for my collection. Her writing style is what I like most about Mary Ann Myers. I know when I buy her novels I am insured I will enjoy the story from cover to cover. The characters and "props" (I'll call them without giving away their signifigance in this story) are loving and fun. This story also will take you on a journey to a city and state of great culture and notarity. You wouldn't want to miss out on the experience and "taste" of a wonderful French cultured state. I would recommend this book to be read by the young and old. Pick a cozy comfortable spot, make a cup of your favorite drink and be swept away for a wonderful adventure.

The amazing tale of Anne Marie left me unable to move from my chair until I had absorbed every last word. The dialogue is straight forward and true to life, the descriptions are not overly lengthy but rather simply descript. You flow through the story as if you were an observer priveledged enough to walk in the characters shadows, never willing to miss a detail.I have recommended this book to whomever I come across with a book in hand. Having read Maple Dale and Favored to Win, other books of the authors I think it is safe to say that her writings are extroidinary and honest. If we're lucky, MaryAnn Myers will share with us many many more wonderful stories.

I've read every book written by MaryAnn Myers and this is, by far, the most captivating and intriguing one yet. I was not able to put it down and neither will you. Thank you, MaryAnn, for another great story! I'm grateful that it's Christmas time because ALL my family and friends will be getting copies of The Frog, The Wizard and The Shrew as gifts!! This is a story to share with others.

MaryAnn Meyers new book is a good little book to read on a winters day. It had just enought suspense to keep me turning the pages. Her characters were so likeable and human. Ann Marie, Danny, Miss Colorado, the veteran, Rosalea and the girls at the end kept me wondering what there stories were. (The makings of another book Ms. Meyers?) That pink prom dress certainly held alot of secrets. Ann Marie was typcal of a young women making it on her own in todays world, struggling with a domineering mother, a job, paying bills, rent, and taking care of herself. Everything came together in the last chapter in New Orleans, Mrs. Meyers knows of what she speaks. The ending was a happy one, which I like in a book.
