Review:Well-written and intense but so intimate - as if you’ve somehow always known Ariel. It’s a love letter to life that - like many great love stories - dances round and ultimately ends in the land of “what could have been.” I hung on nearly every word, highlighted passage after beautiful passage and wanted to weep with the raw realness of it all. Bravo for one of the most authentic memoirs I’ve read in a long time. Read more

Review:The inimitable narrative voice of Lionel Essrog grabs the reader from page one and never lets go. We are moved to equal parts laughter and tears by this Tourette's afflicted orphan, who obsessively attacks the puzzle of his mentor's murder. Lionel's mountain of tics provides some hilarious moments, but other passages are so poignantly painful that I literally had to pause and look away as I read them. Unfortunately, odds are the reader will lose interest in the details of Lionel's case long befo... Read more

Review:What an inspiring book for young and old! This young man who was able to envision a new creation and to persevere the trials of tribulations of the lack of resources, coupled with a famine, is truly a model for his countrymen and those throughout the world. Read more

Review:I saw this book and immediately thought of my son who is always thinking about how things work. It was a big hit for all 3 of my boys, and they learned about wells, irrigation, famine and perseverance, and how people might not share your vision when you have a new idea. A very inspiring true story for any aged reader. Read more

Review:A wonderful example that women today follow. Her book gives us an inside look at her daily life, along with her professional career. From her Miss America title, two days later, her first national press conference, her marriage, along with her two children, she's a powerful woman. Being as I enjoy pictures, one of the best portions of her life that she shares with us is the center of her book. This portion gives us a six page photographic view of her entire life. Read more

Review:I will preface this review by admitting that I used to be an LB and Hills devotee and I enjoyed the angle that Kristin brought to the shows. She was edgy and bitchy and let's face it, the guys loved her. Amazingly, this book has given me a completely different view of Kristin. She surprised me in a way, and the information she shares in this book could bring positive effects to the lives of the many young girls who will undoubtedly be reading it.

She goes into detail about her days on ... Read more

Review:Most people think of Lewis as just writing Narnia and a few christian books, but his life was very deep and interesting. My 10-yr son read this book over the summer and really enjoyed it. The reading level is about 14-yrs old. Read more

Review:A journalist in The Economist suggested that the Liberian civil war, unlike other wars, has left no literary legacy. Shoddy conclusion. Read Leymah Gbowee's "Might be our Powers" and then Heleen Cooper's "The House at Sugar Beach" to prove The Economist wrong. Both books are written by intelligent women from very different back-grounds but with a powerful tale to tell about the war in Liberia. I can recommend The House on Sugar Beach for those interested in Liberia - and for those not but who a... Read more

Review:This is a good read. I was always rather curious about how Facebook started as most articles give a very superficial background of Mark Zuckerberg and how Facebook started in a dorm room. I think that the book tries to focus quite a lot of attention on how Mark Zuckerberg is a bit awkward, singularly focused, and has a tough time reading social signals from people in real life. At least, that's what the book tells us. The interesting thing is that perhaps we should take a lesson from this an... Read more
