What fun to read! Aug 25, 2009
1929 is great fun to read! The story just grabbed me from page 1, and pulled me all-too-quickly to the end. I loved Josie and her adventures, and want to read more about her! Manhattan in the '20s just comes alive in this book. I recommend this book highly -- it's fantastic.

Romance, romance, romance! Jul 19, 2009
Some gals may get their kicks from adolescent vampires or boy wizards, but it's summer and I want a good old-fashioned romance novel--the kind with designer clothes, hardships to overcome, and a real honest-to-goodness man! In other words, a REAL romance novel! 1929: An Upper Class Affair provided me with all the guilty pleasure a girl could ask for... and then some!

A must read! Jul 15, 2009
This is a must read, especially if you're a fan of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Jane Austen. You'll be completely enraptured by Josie and her feisty and engaging personality as you follow her through her various adventures and love triangles that are a behind-the-scenes look into a New York socialite's life during the roaring 20s and Crash of 1929. You'll get an insider's view into the differences between the greed and naivety that fueled that period which also happens to be rather pertinent to today's environment. In addition to the character complexities, I particularly enjoyed the New York architectural references and the level of detail behind the Crash itself and those who saw it coming (e.g., JP Morgan, Joe Kennedy). Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. The only complaint I have is please hurry up with the sequel because I need to know what happens next.

great book! Jul 13, 2009
I bought this for my wife before our trip to England and she was so hooked that she didn't even talk to me on the flight! She is an avid reader and this was her choice for the best summer book. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great gift.
