My Steamboat Nov 19, 2009
This book was fun and hard to put down. I found myself wanting to read every word. The emotions of Dori's childhood were easy to capture in the story, It made me pull up memoirs that I had lost. I feel this book would be great for a book club, a school class or girls group to read. I have four teenage daughters and I plan to encourage them to read this book. Thank You Dori, for making me laugh!

Great Talent Nov 19, 2009
I finished Dori's book yesterday and what fun it was. I laughed out loud about the rope tow because I myself remember what that was like. Makes me think how very lucky we were to live in Steamboat at that time. A great place to raise kids, to work and to play. My kids still call it home. Dori's memory is amazing and the way she put it all into words was perfect!

Common threads... Nov 16, 2009
I thoroughly enjoyed "My Steamboat" and was most impressed with Dori's ability foster a strong sense of connection to a town and upbringing very different from my own. Her down-to-earth and heartfelt story of amusing family dynamics, growing pains, and the enduring bonds of early friendships touched on the common forces that shape most of us, for better or for worse. Dori's account of her ski town childhood put me in closer touch with my own story, which I consider the mark of a truly talented writer. Thank you, Dori!

Great trip down memory lane Nov 15, 2009
I thoroughly enjoyed Dori's book. It was a delightful account of a time and place which now seem to be often missing. I grew up in Steamboat and reading this book was like a trip down memory lane. Her account of her childhood is a humorous laugh out loud look at family life in a small town which will make one think back to personal stories and incidents. The vivid descriptions and detail make this book just a delight to read, and one which you will thoroughly enjoy. I highly recommended this book to anyone who wants a good laugh. Great read.
