1929 Book One By ML Gardner

1929 (Book One)
By ML Gardner

Every now and then a book comes along that you just can't believe how great it is.  This is not a book that I normally would have picked up and read, but I am so glad I did.  Even though I can only read book one of 1929 by M.L. Gardner, I find myself longing to read the future volumes.

This book was such a pleasure to read that I could barely put it down.  Every time I tried to stop and take a rest, my mind raced with desire to know what happened next.  At every twist and turn, I found myself wondering what would happen next and how the characters of the story would make it.  Even though the book is written as fiction, it all seems so real, believable, and as if I was there living right along side each of these characters.

The story hits me because I see people with money as having life together with no problems and not a care in the world.  Yet, as I read books like this and others, I"m beginning to wonder if that is as true as the story lines would appear.  In this case, the wealth was taken away in the matter of a few hours in the stock market crash of 1929 and their life was not the same from there on out.  In fact, the main characters went from having people take care of their every need, to figuring out how to survive.
