So charming !!,

This review is from: Cape Light (Cape Light Series, Book 1) (Hardcover)
Ok, first I would like to say for all of those who hate his paintings, and that fact that he is making millions of dollars off of them, this book is not for you. He writes with the same charm and splendor that he uses in his paintings. For those of you who love his paintings the rest of this rewview is for you, for you will love this book!! Yes it is charming and romantic and ok, a little predictable. But that's ok. Enter the Beautiful little world of Cape Light where you are surrounded by good people, beautiful scenery, and characters like Sam Morgan, that you just can't help falling in love with. You know tall muscular, and extremly handsome and lets not forget the nicest guy to ever exist in fiction. Some will call this book sappy, but if you are like me living in world full of disappointments, and relationships that NEVER EVER work out. With dishonest guys at every turn. It is nice to escape that maddness, and step into a world like Cape Light, though they have their...Read more

A wonderful collection of characters,

This review is from: Cape Light (Cape Light Series, Book 1) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent series that depicts the characters in a small New England seaside town. The characters are alive and interactive. I have enjoyed each book in the series and look forward to more.
His books describe this little town and the people who live there as well as his paintings describe the cottages and the seashores, all with the wonderful light.

A Beacon of Light - bravo to the Master of Light!,
December 23, 2005 R. Lee "Reader" (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cape Light (Cape Light Series, Book 1) (Hardcover)
I first heard about this book, recommended on QVC. Of course, Thomas Kincaid's name is what attracted me. Sure, we all know he is one of the best painters of modern times, so I was very curious to see if his writing could prove as pretty as his idyllic paintings. Well! I was not only *not* disappointed, but thoroughly sated by this book. It slaked in me a deep thirst to know more about the fascinating mind of Thomas Kincaid. Who better than the Master of Light, with his outstanding success--proving his intuition for the Real America, a better America--to reveal this "simpler life" and its pleasures? "The most collected living artist" is destined to be a success in more than one medium. Life is short, and it's far better and pleasant to spend some precious hours reading Thomas Kincade's moving visions than wasting time on tedious and outdated 'classics' like Tolstoy, Dickens, and Hemingway, who, unlike Kincade, pollute their 'art' with vulgarity. Thomas Kincade is surely not just the...Read more
