Review:You almost feel like you are there, the people come to life, and you feel the tension along with them.

The best book I've read about Apollo since I say next to my radio listening to that amazing first landing. Read more

Review:AMERICAN WOLF is a fascinating study of the wolves introduced into Yellowstone.

What was so interesting to me was the recounting of their social structure. How much they were like extended families, with members going in and out of favor. There are sad moments, of course. We are talking about nature. But so many more great moments, like when the author connects the dots and shows how the introduction of wolves was actually good for bears and beavers and certainly flora.

Review:Actually I expected more from the book as detailed description how to achieve something in a year like writing a book or going successfully to school.But book was quite inspirational and easy to read in a matter how to succeed at anything.It was general. May be i chose a wrong title for me. But the book is o.k. Read more

Review:I enjoyed this story slot. It was interesting to meld the guilt that the author shared with his protagonist who is not just a liar but a murderer. However the real story was what exactly drove a reasonably intelligent man to murder his entire family.

Review:The numerous, excellent reviews perhaps make another unnecessary. But a few words of further encouragement to prospective readers can't be out of order in this case. When author Colm Toibin remarks that a book is "likely to become a classic," it is worth paying attention. That is no fluff.

Review:Definitely a different view on life. Great in theory but I would personally find it unsettling to know my wife has a diary and a roster for a whole series of lovers.
Good reading though; and one I enjoyed. (this is not a review, but just my impression) Read more

Review:I have read many books which have permanently enriched my life, but I believe this is the best one. It intertwines history, science, philosophy, and human values in a fasinating story of mankind. No dry theories, this book contains dramatic stories of man struggling to develop into what? That is the true beauty of this book. It asks (and I believe answers) what it is to be truly human - what it is we are struggling to develop into. Read more
