Review:At the conclusion of my second reading (23 years after the first), I continue my dedication to this fascinating creation. I have carried visions and quotes from Tinker all of these years and will continue to share them with those who I care about. I am putting a copy in my grandchildren's Mimi box. Read more

Review:Hilarious and clever. I normally plow through books but her use of language is delicious and must be savored. Page after page I think "that is brilliant!" I plan to read all her books by years end. For sure this one is a winner. Read more

Review:Kudos to Jay Allison and Dan Gediman for reviving this great Edward R. Murrow radio series on PBS and now putting the essays in book form. In our current times of war and hunger, this book puts a heart warming touch on life and makes it seem so much brighter. A must read. Read more

Review:Good stories written in an entertaining fashion. If you like listening to the Moth, you'll like this book too. I wasn't sure how story telling to an audience would translate to the written page, but the editors did a good job picking and putting the stories in printed format. Read more

Review:I truly was inspired by Ms. Hyde's personal struggles and very perceptive observations in this book. I think most people would be able to relate to her. Lots of short anecdotes, so it's very easy to read. Humble; not preachy. I read her book "Don't Let Me Go" recently and had seen "Pay it Forward" years ago, and am now reading "When You Were Older." Love her style. Read more

Review:I bought this because I read another review from someone that claimed the book had illustrations and some back story accompanying the letters; there are neither. There are a lot of blank pages and not even a prologue describing the contents,etc. Very disappointing. I would not recommend getting this book. Read more

Review:In Part 1, de Tocqueville writes a constant stream of aphorisms, quotes, pithy remarks and general and specific observations about the American experience. Like a double-barreled shotgun blast, some of the pellets are going to find their mark and a few are going to go astray. Overall though it is well worth the read. Seldom does he get too bogged down in any one topic and his style cuts through to the essentials, leaving details for his footnotes.

Part 2 is a more general philosophical... Read more

Review:WHERE is the ZERO rating? - So many individuals have mentioned it-
This book needs to be ABOUT THE DOGS- NOT the people-
Let's all take a moment and re-read the title again, Where does this author get off taking short stories written by others under the
on the tailcoat & namesake of Garden & Gun to embellish this book to be about the " love of dogs" ?
Evidently this author had a ghost writer in order to pass English Lit 101, as the intent of the title should indeed match the ... Read more

Review:A bookseller recommended this book to me as I was buying another book about England. It is a delightful tribute to reading culture, reminding us that there is an almost romantic seduction to the sharing of literature between two people. The juxtaposition of mid-century London and New York is historically appealing and will enchant readers who have experienced wanderlust for either America or Britain. Read more

Review:While I admire Ms. Gay's attempt to share her journey with the reader, the book comes across as shallow and lacking genuine depth. Yes she told of the event that led to her lifelong battle but where is the inner work? Perhaps I missed it because I stopped reading. Ms. Gay if you haven't done so please consider therapy. Please fight for the 12 year old girl who so desperately needs healing. From what I read the 12 year old is not only traumatized from the actual event but she now carries the guil... Read more
