Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years Away
Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years Away

Review:I like Bryson. I enjoy reading his books. This one was no exception. I suppose the first thing I like about thi author, is that we both have the same attitude toward life.
Bryson did a fantastic job on this book. It tells a accurate view on American and English culture. He is not your typical travel writer.
A fine, intelligent work that will have you entertained from cover to cover. Read more

Inspired by a True Native American Indian Story - Return of the Bones

Review:Book was very enjoyable. Had lots of twists and turns and at times was a bit hard to follow. The depictions of the villages and of the life in the past and now were amazing and I could actually see them. It was written very truthfully. I would recommend this to anyone who has a thirst for knowledge of the native american cultures and just to anyone who likes to read! Read more

The Solving of a Century-Old Serial Killer Mystery
The Solving of a Century-Old Serial Killer Mystery

Review:I started out reading this book because I like true crime books. At first I got into it but gradually I decided enough was enough. The frequent personal comments were the first thing that I hatted but now as he tells me about the fourth and fifth murders that aren't part of the Man from the Train I decided enough was enough. Why he chose to bring in murders that aren't part of the series is beyond me. It's distracting to the story and I've had it. Don't bother. Read more

The Shocking True Story of the Hunt for the Nation's Most Elusive Serial Killer

Review:Reading this book on Holiday in the San Francisco bay area, I have to admit I did not feel comfortable anymore. I started in the evening, I could not put it down. Goosebumps all-over, every creaking sound magnified...scary!
The way Mr. Graysmith approached the subject, trying to gain some insight in the timeline of the killings, and the hardwork (if unsuccesfull) put in by the various police departments was highly interesting.
The scary part is that the Zoadiac is possibly still out ... Read more

The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump

Review:Exculpating Hillary Clinton was/is a complete abuse of power but needed to be done to get her elected. Failing to do that, Greg Jarrett lays out the plot to derail Presidents Trump's agenda, the steps taken to perpetrate the collusion hoax with hopes in using it to unseat our duly elected president.

Triumphs and Tragedies in the Founding of the Republic
Triumphs and Tragedies in the Founding of the Republic

Review:This is a great addition to the history books covering the founding of our nation. Ellis covers the facts and corrects the fictions have become lore, and does so in a manner that is interesting and revealing. The Founding Fathers were neither geniuses who walked on water with the foresight of gods; nor were they evil white men hell-bent on establishing a utopia for themselves only. Yes, they were remarkable men with great talent, but they were men nonetheless, with weaknesses and inconsistenc... Read more
