Extrait : Linda Hamilton (née Linda Carroll Hamilton, le 27 septembre 1956 à Salisbury, Maryland, États-Unis) est une actrice américaine. Elle est principalement connue pour avoir interprété le personnage de Sarah Connor dans les célèbres films de science-fiction, Terminator en 1984 et Terminator 2 : Le Jugement dernier en 1991. Sa filmographie compte, entre autres, la série télévisée La Belle et la Bête mais aussi le film, Le Pic de Dante et le téléfilm The Color of Courage. Elle fut l'épouse du réalisateur à succès, James Cameron. Leur divorce, en 1999, reste l'un des plus coûteux à Hollywood. Linda naquit six minutes avant sa jumelle, Leslie, infirmière spécialisée en pédiatrie qui réside maintenant dans le New Jersey. Leur sœur ainée, Laura devint avocate à Washington, DC, et leur frère cadet, Ford, comptable.Leur père, médecin, mourut dans un accident de voiture lorsque Linda et Leslie avaient 5 ans et leur mère se remaria. Leurs parents essayèrent de les initier aux arts dès leur plus jeune âge. Leur père adorait le théâtre, l'opéra et la musique classique tandis que leur mère aimait la couture et la peinture. Les quatre enfants grandirent près de la baie de Chesapeake et firent leurs études au lycée Wicomico à Salisbury. Linda souffrit dès l'enfance de ce que les gens ne la distinguaient pas de sa sœur jumelle. À l'âge de 16 ans, cette frustration déclencha une grave crise d'identité : elle se coupa les cheveux et atteignit délibérément le poids de 175 kilos pour affirmer sa différence.Je voulais devenir laide.

Inspirational Contemplation
If you like a book that will make you relax and think about life's small and big choices, this is the one for you.. A book written in an inovative and funny way. This is really a great book!

BOOK OF DRUTHERS, A GREAT BOOK!!!!
I think Druthering will for sure become part of popular culture.

It's hard to stop at just one!
We have really enjoyed druthering.My seven year old didn't want to quit!I like the fact that this book is appropriate for any age.I enjoy hearing why people choose the answers they do.I'm giving these out for Christmas presents.I'd much rather have a book like this than fruitcake! : )

Great Fun with Deeper Thought
I have really enjoyed this fun piece of literature. Iy really makes you think.Try it, you'll love it.A wonderful replacement for all the boring small-talk at parties.Great gift for the holidays.

Makes a road trip fun
If I had my druthers, I would not have been in a car with my least-favorite cousins on a two-hour road trip to a "must-do" family gathering. The only thing that saved civility in the car was that I had grabbed my copy of The Book of Druthers before leaving. Once on the interstate, I opened the book and read aloud the first druthers. It was an easy ride from then on. Indeed, by the time we had reached our destination, I liked and had great respect for my cousins. And I think they can now tolerate me. The Book of Druthers, then, is not only good for road trip entertainment, it can bring a family closer together. Now, I think I will sit and think through it in solitude. ... Read more

Product Description
Three Cassettes, Approx. 5 hours

Cassidy Sanderson is a scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers - the only female scout in the major leagues.Hard-living and hard-drinking, she takes pride in successfully competing in an all-male world.But on a scouting trip to the Dominican Republic, two men unexpectedly change her life: Alberto Cruz, the 18 year-old "phenom" she takes into her heart, and Joe Galinis, a seductive developer she takes to bed.When they return to Los Angeles, all three find themselves entangled in a blackmail scheme laced with otherworldly voodoo and real-life violence: a tightening triangle of suspicion and deception that takes us into the back rooms (and backstabbing) of the high-stakes worlds of sports and finance.

Once again, April Smith gives us a novel of nonstop suspense built around a central character of substance and striking originality.Large in scope, emotionally rich, Be The One is a galvanizing novel.

Amazon.com Review
April Smith's first novel, North of Montana, garnered good reviews and marked her as a writer worth watching. In her second thriller, Be the One, she amply fulfills that promise. Cassidy Sanderson is a woman in a man's world: the only female scout in major-league baseball, Cassidy's not only a former star with a women's professional team but also the daughter of a legendary player and the sister of a promising pitcher who died too young. Baseball isn't just in Cassidy's blood, it's her whole life, and even the daily effort of constantly having to prove herself to her bosses in the L.A. Dodgers head office can't wear out her passion for the game.

She's got a great double play going when she goes to the Dominican Republic and finds both a promising young player, Alberto Cruz, and a powerful, sexy American financier, Joe Galinis, who picks her up when the car carrying her and Cruz breaks down. But once she gets Alberto to training camp, the trouble that's followed her all the way from the Caribbean explodes in blackmail, extortion, and violence, with a mysterious vodou twist:

The thing appears to be a Barbancourt rum bottle, you can see the lettering underneath the red cloth in which it has been tightly wrapped. Lashed to the neck with hundreds of turns of black thread are two pairs of scissors, open wide. Dangling off the bottom on multicolored strings is a bizarre fringe of razor blades that flash like silver teeth.

Her partner says, "What is it? Some kind of punk thing?"

"Gang thing?"

Cassidy holds it very carefully. It spooks her in a deeply primitive way. Unlike the whimsical gourd with the belly-button mirror on her mantel, this bizarre construction is definitely broadcasting on an evil wavelength: the shape of the bottle like a human body.

Smith's characters are sharply drawn, and she's firmly in command of her milieu: the day-to-day life of a baseball scout is brilliantly explicated, the pacing is expert, and the back-stories are well told in flashback. Cassidy is a fascinating woman--hard-working, hard-drinking, and wholly human and vulnerable. Even if you're not a baseball fan, you'll root for her to win. --Jane Adams ... Read more

OK but Wanted More
I am a huge baseball fan and enjoy reading a lot so I thought "Be The One" would be right in my wheelhouse.Female baseball scout Cassidy Sanderson discovers an 18-year old potential phenom who becomes entangled in a mysterious blackmail scheme.Seemed interesting enough.

Though the book was a quick read it just didn't click for me.The elements of baseball were good but the storyline seemed to move very slowly.I thought that author April Smith had many transitional passages that didn't advance the plot and thus diluted much of the action and suspense.Definitely not a page-turner.

This was my first April Smith novel.She seems to have a following that enjoys her books so I will likely try some of her other works."Be The One" just wasn't the right one for me to start with.

A good read
I really enjoyed this quasi-mystery set in the world of professional baseball scouting.I found Cassidy Sanderson to be a sympathetic character, and knew that I was into the book when I started yelling at her to "open your eyes, can't you see that he's lying?"The "mystery" wasn't too terribly mysterious or difficult to figure out, but I found myself drawn in by the setting - pro-baseball scouting - and a woman's place in the world of professional sports.I really enjoyed how the author slowly unwrapped Cassidy's inner demons and shared them with us in the context of the story.

That said, the other characters in the book were a little under-developed .I also didn't get the feel for the development of the settings in the Dominican Republic in the same way that the Southern California sets were written.

Not The One for Me
This book is one long annoying read.The tense, for one thing.Instead of, "she said, she saw" etc. it's (sometimes) written in present tense which is incredibly irritating.And the flashbacks are way, way, way overdone!Where are the editors for this kind of book?The tone is rambling, the characters shallow and unrealistic, and I really didn't care what happened to any one of them.Ugh.Don't bother.

Better than I thought I would be
I purchased this book after reading several reviews and wasn't sure how it would measure up to North of Montana, which I thoroughly enjoyed.I have to admit I enjoyed it alot more than I thought I might.Originally, I was a little skeptical about the story line, and there were a few far reaches with some of the characters (Galinis was a little hard to believe and to get a feel for)but overall it had a good pace and keep my attention with great baseball insight and several well written characters.I would recommend this to other fans of April Smith.

Baseball thriller, heroine with attitude
Right now I'm a bit mad at April Smith. I started the book a few days ago, then stayed up until 3:30 in the morning to finish it. So this is definitely a page-turner. As a baseball fan, I enjoyed the descriptions of a scouting meeting and of spring training. The author obviously works hard at producing well-crafted prose; once in a while she reaches too far and produces an unintentional oxymoron. Example: when someone is massaging Cassidy's shoulders, they are like granite; she's been working under the kind of pressure that would liquefy stone. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are a couple of loose ends in the narrative (can anyone tell me how Nora knew where to find her father?). Back to Cassidy: if you don't like a heroine with an attitude, who is so driven that she habitually operates way out of bounds, and who has a drinking problem, then you won't like an April Smith book; both Cassidy and Ana, the heroine of North to Montana, April Smith's previous book, fit the description. Plus they are NOT into housekeeping and have pretty bad luck at relationships. Having said that, I'll confess that Cassidy kept coming in and out of focus for me. She seemed to be less sharply drawn than Ana. But even in those patches where Cassidy seems like a shadow, the plot kept me riveted. Do you like baseball? Like thrillers? Read it. ... Read more
