Review:Really great story of how determination and hard work can get where you want to go. I love the show and found the book highly entertaining with laugh out loud moments. They achieved success on their terms in their way; what is not to love? Fast read but you will enjoy! Read more

Review:a fun romp through the trial. i watched the trial every day, but never realized what went on behind the scenes. anyone who watched the trial MUST read this book. a real admiration for marcia clark .. she writes as if she's sitting in the room with you .. i highly recommend. Read more

Review:This book was better than I expected, not because of the insight into the trial but because of the insight into race relations from a black professional. I was extremely impressed with Mr. Darden's ability to explain the emotions and thoughts that blacks have about whites. From the beginning , Mr. Darden expresses his beliefs that blacks think differently than whites, but are fair, honest, and hard-working, despite the fact that many whites think otherwise. Mr. Darden's early optimism that th... Read more

Review:I recognize that the majority of the one-star reviewers of this book didn't read past the provocative title. Having been in attendance at a few of the events depicted in the book, and having followed Hitchens online since then, I came to this book with deep curiosity, wondering if it would be consistent with what I observed between Hitchens and Taunton. It was.

It's not surprising to learn that a public figure like Hitchens kept some things to himself, or that there was a difference betwe... Read more

Review:Hitch was a miracle of intelligence in his anti-religious and outspoken views on political people and events. Unfortuately, this book is merely a recital his early years, his rise in the journalistic world, and other biographical details. These are comparatively uninteresting since they do not tell us how the man became the voice of the oppoisition of religous bigotry, an apostle of secularism. I miss his voice raised in countless debates as he laid waste to his opponents; arguments. Neither... Read more

Review:Full disclosure: the "boss" Joanna Rakoff describes in this book has been my agent for over 30 years. In spite of the fact I make very little money for her, she has always been supportive of me simply because she likes my writing--a fact the agent called "Max" in this memoir, who considered her an anachronism, would no doubt decry. For me, the "boss" is one of a dying breed of agents, editors and publishers who are in the business because they love writing.
And I like Rakoff's writing. She ... Read more

Review:Book that lets you walk with a woman facing cancer. Kate Bowler lets you inside her thoughts as she courageously faces the worst with grace. The book would be particularly meaningful for anyone facing the same diagnosis. Read more

Review:I found this to be an extremely informative and eye opening book, one that I had a hard time putting down. I have read Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible and to be honest, wasn't all that impressed. Therefore, it was with some hesitation that I reached out to this book. This book is an excellent read for anyone who is interested in gardening, eating healthy, or just being more aware about where you food comes from. I disagree with other readers who thought that Kingsolver was pretentious in t... Read more

Review:Dan Barber brings practical economics to a future where agriculture more closely resembles the natural environment form which it sprang. He asks, "what conditions would need to be present to radically change how we produce what we eat?" It is the fundamental question of our future. Read more

Review:I was particularly interested in the potential breakthrough of treatment for mental illness in its many manifestations. I am hopeful society as a whole is now receptive to the appropriate and monitored treatment of psychedelic treatment and that this offering will become available for all who are in need of help.
