Review:At the outset, I’d like to express my feeling of sadness for Ms. Sandberg and her children. I wish them happiness and laughter forever. My criticism of her book is mostly about the writing style and some topics she has chosen.

The book starts as a memoir; it’s definitely Ms. Sandberg’s story. She’s the narrator. However, the self-help part of the book is supposed to be written by the co-author, Adam Grant –a psychologist. He’s the one who’s expected to help readers understand their emot... Read more

Review:Bought to equip myself to better care for grieving best friend. It was rich with those opportunities. C.S. Lewis is honest with God and his reader and both are insightful and valuable. Highly recommend the book!!! Read more

Review:It was a thought-provoking book. Writing about about a sister who has died has to be a challenge, and you can see the author's attempt to paint her as nearly perfect in one sense, yet human and flawed in the other. One of the things I reflected on after reading it was that, at the end, Ruthie suffered in great pain and her family was not prepared for her death. This can lead to complicated grief. Ruthie could have died at home much more peacefully if hospice had been involved, and bereavement... Read more

Review:Unlike Alison Bechdel's childhood home, my house lacks a library, so I usually pass books along to new homes, but I want this one with me forever. It's brilliant, affecting, stunning. Wowwee kazowee! Buy it, read it, keep it forever! Read more

Review:"I am writing the best poems of my life... They will make my name." --Sylvia Plath, on the Ariel poems
It is a pity that Sylvia Plath is so underestimated--most people I know have never heard of her, and those who have dismiss her as an angry feminist who committed suicide. It is a sacrilege to sum up her person so: Plath is one of the most important poets of our century, and Ariel her most important work.
In it one can find the famous poems "Daddy", in which Plath shakes loose her restrai... Read more

Review:As a widower for ten years, this book is the best yet on the grief and grieving process. Good practical information. Not an academic type of publication. I have read many such books since my spouse died.

Another excellent book is C.S. Lewis' "A Grief Observed". Read more

Review:I didn't start out enjoying the book until I realized how broad the scope of Atheist beliefs are.
I believe if you have any question of Is there a God then take time to read this book and each
argument to the Atheist understanding. No Question, There is a God. Read more

Review:The book was terrific. Why did they send me two copies. They only charged me for one. I will give my extra copy to a Jewish person who does not belive the Palestenians are mistreated. I dare you to read this book without sheddng a tear. I have been to Israel 4 times. Israel will always be in my heart and soul, but when I think they are Wrong I will let them know--My beloved Israel. YOU are WRONG, and being stubborn like the Taurus your zodiac sign you were born under. This situation is not m... Read more

Review:Knowing only that this book was a classic, I purchased it for my middle school son. I read it myself upon learning that it was about a boy who died of an aggressive brain tumor, since my family is struggling with the exact illness in one of our members. I was struck by the absolute tragedy of how this brilliant child was killed by a disease targeting the very source of what made him so unique. Being familiar with the current therapies, I was also somewhat amazed to learn that there has been al... Read more

Review:I learned so much about death and dying from this wonderful book. These nurses really know what they are talking about and have the experience to back it up. I see the process so differently now...they are different ways to understand what dying people are saying. They are not necessarily delusional, they are expressing themselves in a symbolic way. It is a language that can be learned. Read it NOW for you will someday be in a place to need this information. Read more
