Unknown author clears the bar of excellence.
By A Customer on November 10, 2000
Format: Paperback
Where ever this author has been hiding he needs to be hunted down, captured, locked in a room and forced to write more books. Fear not that Clancy may have peaked and is now on the downward slide... Cherish the Magic, with its main character Gianni Giancarlo will make you ask, Jack Ryan who? Based on an uncommonly enthusiastic recommendation of a friend I ordered Cherish the Magic online and had completely forgotten about it by the time it arrived but was more than pleased when an intended few minutes of reading on a Friday night turned into a reading marathon early Saturday morning. After a few hours of much needed sleep and household chores put on hold the conclussion of the book was not a wanted respite... indeed it accomplished what few others have been able to do...wishing for another hundred pages. Based in the Vietnam time period Cherish the Magic is far from a book about war or its all too well known vulgarities. It's about doing the right thing... even if it's not in your best interest. Perhaps the book is so powerful because it is such a sharp contrast to our declining values or perhaps it's refreshing to see a teenager unashamedly voice his love for his parents or perhaps it's because of a dog that seems to value his master's life as much as his master values his. No matter the reason, whether you're sixteen or sixty-five if you don't laugh until you're blue in the face and cry until you buy stock in Kleenex you're not human. It's a shame that this book came out by a small publisher, I've never heard of iuniverse, had it been promoted by a large, well known house surely there would be countless reviews and at this moment be sitting on the bestseller list. Don't let the 'first time author' moniker scare you... buy, borrow or steal this book, you'll be glad you did.

Good afternoon everyone. Glad my work week is over. Been reading over everyone's memories of Jack show me what a truly special person he was. I hope you all find some happiness this weekend to ease your heavy hearts
Doing well! We have a few mistakes but she is making it outside I would say 90% of the time. Only time we seem to have issues is when it is raining out. But as far as the mistakes go they are all on her pee pad. So I would say we are 100 times better than we were.
Afternoon Folks
Haven't been posting much just a busy time for me but still try and pop in daily for a quick read. Saddened today to read of Jack's passing he was a larger than life character I always enjoyed his posts. The things he came up with and the fact no one was safe.
R.I.P. Sir you were one of a kind.

I love reading all the posts about Jack! He has been on my mind and my heart all day after hearing this news! I am sure he is smiling down on all of us knowing how much he was loved. Pat's post shows what he thought of everyone on here! Hopefully he found many strong friendships! I just wish I could have attended the Reo reunion so I could have met him personally! But I know he knows my thoughts and prayers are with him and all my dear dear friends I have made on this forum!
Hugs and comfort to you one and all tonight!

I want to get it to read! Although I don't have a kindle I guess I will go to Amazon to get it. Wonder if they have it available in large print???? Usually not until later in the printing is it available large print. Used to have a kindle because I could change the font size but it is no longer working. Guess I may just have to strain these old eyes thru my bifocals! LOL Only for Jack!
Please let me know if you all are gonna post spoilers on Jack's book so I don't read them cause I can't get the book till next weekend. 
I will be the first book I have purchased in over 5 years

Can you loan Kindle books I think they are locked to the device. I only have the Kindle app so I don't know.
