Review:You know, "classics" often are . . . well . . . boring. It must be admitted. But the Three Musketeers is actually quite good.. I was surprised. When I was done I was sorry it was over. I will very likely - gasp - read it again someday, and undoubtedly will buy the mobi collection of Dumas' works for my Kindle Read more
Review:Clearly presents the facts that were extant in Eastern Europe and how thoroughly Stalin and his henchman controlled the Eastern European populations beginning from the last few months of WW2. Illuminating. 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:This book might be good the Francophile who has never been to France and who never intends to visit.
It is extremely descriptive reflection of the author's time in France - of the simple everyday happenings and personalities one would encounter in France- it has the old grandmother telling you how to properly cut and cook the beans (most every Frenchie thinks their way is best) and the "sounds" of the cafes.. etc.... The author also tells us of the multiple occasions she refused to try French... Read more
Review:An investigative novel for the intellectual. Traces the West's search for the Holy Grail of Universal Truth via the post-modern exploits of a trio of editors in Italy searching for plot and narrative amongst the elusive histories of the alchemical and esoteric Templars.

Unless you are an European intellectual yourself, you will need a dictionary... Read more

Review:A masterpiece.
Writers of sex could all benefit by reading the carriage scene where the reader is aware of what the couple in the carriage are doing and yet the reader never once gains a look inside.
Oh, I am not saying anything against the writing of open door sex scenes. I am just saying that Gustave Flaubert created more sensuality though only writing of what happens outside of the carriage. The reader sees the couple getting into the carriage, the driver and horses and the ext... Read more
Review:Like french movies, this book was not about happy endings and a happy storyline. It was a sad, raw, human book. As much as I was disgusted by the actions of the some of the characters, I still enjoyed every minute of reading this book because the storyline is interesting and has a great flow. Read more
