Review:Having just returned from a safari to Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia, I thoroughly enjoyed the authors entertaining yet sobering tales of his experiences as a safari guide. All of the guides I encountered on my trip were professional, fun and extremely competent. I fell in love with Africa and highly recommend this book to anyone about to embark on a safari or anyone, like me, who has experienced one and appreciated the wonders of the abundant wildlife.

Review:I loved niall but was cut from a different cloth....and his reticence was a little exhausting. Of course I wanted an HEA for him and Ruby but his choice to go to his ex-wife's was phenomenally hurtful. Also, I doubt after the ex's portrayal throughout the book many found their oh so loving conversation even remotely believable. Great read overall. Read more

Review:This book concerns the year Dalrymple spends in Delhi, attempting to uncover the secrets and hidden past of this once-great city. Dalrymple skillfully weaves the accounts of his daily life with the history of Delhi. One moment, you are reading about a harrowing taxi-cab ride, and the next page, an account of Shah Jehan's life begins. Few writers can change the pace so suddenly and get away with it, but Dalrymple is able to segue into and out of topics effortlessly.

The pacing and tone of ... Read more

Review:Brad Taylor's " Enemy of Mine" makes a third time a charm. The writing, editing and all things come together to make a fine read. He is now getting up there wit Lee Child, Vince Flynn and Brad Thor.Ditto's on a great thriller. Pike Logan is great character. Read more

Review:208 pages of tedium followed by 11 pages of mildly humorous writing. I'm a big fan of Bike Snob's blog, but this book was a real let-down. In some parts it felt like he was trying too hard to be funny. Other times, it felt like he was trying to be unfunny. It just didn't hit the same chord as his web page. I'll try re-reading it in a couple weeks. Maybe I'll see some humour I missed the first time round. But right now, I wouldn't recommend this book. Read more

Review:Beautiful writing in the last chapter. A long read to get there with a few enjoyable phrases along the way to remind the reader this is the same author of one of the best books ever written, All the Light We Cannot See. Read more

Review:Ed Stafford's journey was an amazing one. Spending two years walking the length of the Amazon River is a testament to his will and determination. I started the book with great interest and enjoyed the story of the journey. However, Stafford is not a writer. It is not that he isn't a talented writer, he is not and he all but acknowledges that fact. Stafford's ability to write is equivalent to a high school freshman. His grammar is so bad that at times I was unable to figure out what the sentence ... Read more

Review:Gary Kamiya is an excellent writer, so the reading is easy and the subject matter compelling, i already love SF so i enjoyed his take on many places i already know, and then many that i did not.
Most people don't need help loving SF but this will deepen your appreciation. If you don't know the City at all or not well, this is a great guide. He walked pretty much the full 49 square miles so he knows it intimately.
Very enjoyable read Read more

Review:Containing intricate prose, plenty of self-reflection and flagellation, this book hits its mark while somehow also missing it - the disjointedness of the narrative is not a mortal flaw, and I consider the vagueness of "the point" to be The Point, I just wish there were a few more... leaves on the trees, if that makes any sense.

Review:An incredible story about a battle that was almost totally obsure as far as the American public is aware. A story of great courage and hardship for our soldiers, who never got enough praise for what they endured! Read more
