Review:This book is addicting - literally! Cat Marnell is a vivid writer and I couldn't put this down...the characters that come and go throughout her life and the way she handles herself suck you in to another world that is both colorful and exhausting. Highly recommended if you're looking for something outside your comfort zone - can't wait until book #2! Read more

Review:At the outset, I found this book readable because of Wurtzel's laughably bad writing. It was almost fascinating how someone with nothing to recommend her could be so grandiose and egomaniacal. At one point early in the book she even compares herself to a vietnam vet, and says that if you haven't been a vietnam vet, that you don't know what it feels like to be her. Excuse me, but has she ever been a vietnam vet? However, such stupidity, after page 50 or so, simply becomes intolerable. To think th... Read more

Review:Although I have not spent much time in the desert, I feel like I want to after reading Desert Solitaire. If you enjoy reading beautiful descriptions of nature and incredible storytelling, interspersed with thoughtful comments about humankind (and how we have a tendency to mess up nature) this book is for you. I place Abbey's writing with that of Thoreau and Steinbeck - he is that good. Read more

Review:AMERICAN WOLF is a fascinating study of the wolves introduced into Yellowstone.

What was so interesting to me was the recounting of their social structure. How much they were like extended families, with members going in and out of favor. There are sad moments, of course. We are talking about nature. But so many more great moments, like when the author connects the dots and shows how the introduction of wolves was actually good for bears and beavers and certainly flora.

I had a s... Read more

Review:I thoroughly loved this book and have now just finished her second book, Comfort me with Apples. She writes so that you feel you could me there with her and experience what she is describing.
What really struck me as I read this book is that this was a generation that went off, supported themselves AND lived their ideals for a better world. But they supported themselves, didn't want or need hand outs from parents or the government. This is such a contrast to many of today's 20-somethings. ... Read more

Review:LOVED this book. I highly recommend this to anyone who considers themselves a fan of Sara Bareilles. Her writing in this book is as moving as her lyrics. I laughed and I cried and I'm sure you will too. Read more

Review:This story of Cassie Bernall will shock you. It's hard to believe that someone would kill a person because they believe in God, that Cassie changed her ways just a few years before she got shot, and she got shot by the same kind of people she used to be. Cassie Bernall's mother tell the shocking true story of her daughters last years of her life before she got shot at Colombine High School. It was hard for me to belive at first that a Cassie was almost just like the killers in the Colombine s... Read more

Review:If I was sitting across the table and complaining to Rachel Remen about something going on in my life, I am certain she would give me a pearl of wisdom wrapped in a story. Not only am I wiser for the reading of Kitchen Table Wisdom, I am more human.

This book contains approximately eighty extremely short stories from Remen’s counseling practice, primarily with cancer patients. Many passages left me with tears in my eyes. And though the stories were about her patients and coworkers aha mo... Read more
