Review:John Green is a great author. This is one favorite book he has written so far. I can't wait for the movie. This is a great book for all ages and would make a great gift to anyone that enjoys reading. The item arrived fast and well packaged. I couldn't believe the prices of his books on amazon versus my local bookstore. I will buy more of John Greens books in the future and would even give one as a gift. Very good read and kind of strange. Read more

Review:Liked the last portion about his observations in the South during desegregation, and how he presented various viewpoints from different characters perspectives objectively. Gave a nuanced understanding of the feelings about race from the human experience vs the moral and political. Read more

Review:Great little phrase book -- endless phrases for all sorts of situations. For our 5-day stay in Florence, we didn't need too much Italian, but I still recommend this book if you're going for a visit, no matter how short or long. Read more

Review:the positive things about this book (mentioned in other reviews) so far outweigh anything negative about this book or this man. It reminds me of what George Bernard Shaw said: The reasonable man adapts himself to the world - the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

This book has led me to adjust some of my most basic beliefs about what life is all about. Read more

Review:The author describes India as profound and profane. That pretty much sums up her book as well. Maybe Disney Land with the whiff and splat of raw sewerage would be another summation of her india. She thoroughly investigates every single "ism" and geographic location on the sub continent. Calcutta is about the only place she doesn't visit. The book is thoroughly educational from a cultural, religious, and geographic stand point. In reading up on India for a coming visit she is one of the best... Read more

Review:The fetid,yet maddeningly lush & thus, compelling environment that yielded such treasures to the intensity of these two men's driving curiosity immediately captures the reader. This reviewer withholds the fifth star of admiration only due to an absence of deeper detail regarding Stephens&Catherwood. Perhaps, such detail was lost to the "official"record? However, the desire for character detail is proof-positive that JUNGLE of STONE fills a gap in our historical narrative; indeed, the eno... Read more

Review:People argue whether these theories make sense or not. I see that it is an amazing reading to open one's mind. Graham Hancock puts himself in the frontline to show us soundly that history as we know may have not been so, and he ventures into an interesting and honest journey to satisfy his genuine curiosity, without pretenses. I love it. I feel it utterly honest and that's what I like the most about it. Read more

Review:This book is gorgeous and inspiring! Be warned though- if you actually plan to cook these recipes they are not for the novice chef, and you will have to search for some of the ingredients. For me though, this was part of the fun. She makes me want to move to the french countryside to have lots of babies and cook all day. Read more

Review:A friend recommended this book and I found it most interesting. It's a historic novel about Berlin during the war. The main character is very interesting and she mingles among many different people, that deal with the war in their own way.
It's very well written. Once I started the book,it was difficult to stop reading. Human Beings are very frightening in the way they behave towards one another. Read more

Review:I really liked this book, it was good reading, no boring parts. My only thought was after 20 years and there was still that "spark". It made it almost unbelievable, almost fairy tale. I may suggest it to my book club, thats where I got the name and author, in Good Housekeeping magazine a book club had read and discussed this book and I had to read it! Read more
