Review:If you're wondering what to read next, wondering what will be a tremendous read crafted by a master wordsmith and storyteller, you'll want to put this book at the top of your list! Eric and Mary Brende's 18-month venture into a technology-free environment among a community of what he calls Minimite farmers is riveting! I'm obviously not a writer, but I do love a good read: I could hardly put down the book as Eric describes his and Mary's adaptation to a life without electricity or running wate... Read more

Review:I enjoyed the read. This rare glimpse is very limited but it's also the point. N. Korean PUST students; the elite of the elite even are unaware of the outside which is a constant theme in this book. The country is so isolated and orchestrated that it's almost amazing that people swallow the (at times literal) bulls*** they are fed. It does have some hope although not much.

Recommended read. Read more

Review:Book was recommended to me by a client dealing with an aggressive form of cancer, who has had some of the same experiences as the patients in this book. It's a pleasant read, filled with real comfort and hope for those experiencing any doubts concerning the reality of heaven and Jesus Christ. I think it's worth reading. Read more

Review:This was an incredible book. Both in its detailed account or what it took to bring down a terrorist plot, but also in the time the author took to explain and stress how Islam is manipulated and perverted by jihadis. The final point about the danger of a Muslim ban in the us was timely and so necessary. Thank you to the author for his service and for this book. Read more

Review:Frank McCourt was at his very best with a continuation of sorts to Angela's Ashes. His discriptions bring you to the times and places he lived through. I can not express enough how much I admire the man he became and the love he expressed for his Mother. Read more

Review:For any level of either afferent or efferent pedagoguery and learning this makes the 72 hour weeks and the help Every Child Left Behind by a certain semiliterate Wolfram all worth while. Buy this thing. Read more

Review:Peter Jenkins becomes more comfortable as a writer. His ability to express himself with more range benefits his descriptions. Though his newly acquired wife may perhaps sidetrack the "walk" , this adventure remains generally untainted.
I enjoyed the first, this one was more absorbing. Read more

Review:A Lucky Child is about Thomas Buergenthal and his experiences as a child in World War II. He, along with his parents survived four years in a ghetto, two camps, including Auschwitz, and the Auschwitz death march. He and his mother survived the war, sadly his father did not. The most amazing part to me, was that the author was only about eleven years old at the end of the war, making him one of the few children to survive the war, plus being so young. A great story that I highly recommend rea... Read more
