"This is the third book I have read in the Tillerman Family series by Cynthia Voigt. HOMECOMING and DARCY'S SONG were excellent too! I read those books a long time ago, but didn't continue with the series until now. I'm glad I did. Exceptional, brilliant, emotional. Jeff, the main character, is a young man with many complex emotions and experiences. Boys will be able to relate to him, his trials and tribulations - troubled relationships w/ family & friends- and girls will find it refreshing to find a male character with depth. Though this series is twenty + years old, it's a classic that everyone should read."

    " More from Cynthia Voigt. Remembering this book makes me realize that it's a rare thing: the teen book that does this good a job getting inside someone's head (a boy, too!) and evoking a sense of place (South Carolina). I have *always* remembered the last sentence of this book: (view spoiler)["Poor Melody, he thought for the last time, watching her walk around the house and away; she never knew what the real treasures were." (hide spoiler)] "

    " Although this book was not my favorite of Voigt's novels, "A Solitary Blue" was extremely touching and gave me a break from Dicey's life, but intertwined it with Jeff's in a compelling way. Through Jeff's eyes, you can see Dicey as most people see her, and you can experience the love and hate that encircle and ensnare Jeff and Melody. I loved this book, and though it took me a while to read, I'm glad I kept reading till the end. "

    " I learned that you should never, EVER judge a book by it's cover from this book. When I grabbed it off the shelf of the library, I didn't really expect it to be so good, but did it prove me wrong. I found it to be a really great book that totally engrossed me with a different view of things. The ending really got me thinking about everything that had happened to each of the characters and I learned myself that the really valuable treasures aren't the ones that can make you rich, but the ones that have a special meaning and memory.

    " Another great book in the "Tillerman" series. I liked "Homecoming" and "Dicey's Song" but had never read this book about Jeff Greene and his troubled childhood. The author really makes you feel for Jeff and the emotional roller-coaster his parents put him through. "
