Review:Sad and not so shocking that another myth of civilized countries committing unspeakable act because they can. It's also interesting that a group today who oversees atrocities is based in Belgium. Huh? No indications at all must stressed that they are not doing a fine job;just ironic. My wife believes in redemption. Me, not so sure.

Review:I started reading American Pain because I saw the episode about pain clinics on "American Greed".
I enjoyed this book because it didn't glamorize pain clinics/ opioids .It made the story raw & real but I didn't like the way the author described Appalachian people capitalizing on their heartache and grief .It was uncalled for....
I've lost friends,good people ( at one time) to drug mixtures that literally cost them their lives so in certain parts of the book the author seemed a little F... Read more

Review:Does not matter how you feel about military service, our current state of foreign affairs, or anything else related to the politics of military action - this book offers a truly harrowing look at how we are letting those around us suffer. (Emotionally) Difficult to read (it is a surprisingly quick read) - this book changed my daily interactions both with former service members and with non-service members suffering from depression.

Review:I bought this book for my husband and he absolutely loved it. He lost the book at work before he finished it and I had to buy him another one. The book was not only informative but was also very entertaining. Read more

Review:This book is tedious at times, and sometimes the author contradicts himself. If I wasn't the type of person that has to finish a book once started, I would have dropped this book after a few chapters. In the end though, I am glad to have read it and gleaned a bit of history from it. Read more

Review:This book is amazing. If you have never read anything regarding Malcolm X besides school propaganda you will be shocked by what this book reveals. X was a powerful, intellectual, self aware leader that was able to realize when he was wrong and when he was right. I highly recommend you check out this well written piece of art. Read more

Review:This is an extraordinary book in terms of the research involved and the excellent writing. McCullough makes excellent use of primary source material to set Theodore Roosevelt in the context of his family. One of my interests is in how leaders emerge from families, and this is the best book in terms of that I've ever read. I listened to it two in audio format, and then bought the book. My latest purchases of it were as gifts for others. Read more

Review:This week I've reviewed two very different yet very good books...this one and Necessary Evil: How to Fix Finance by Saving Human Rights
By: David Kinley. Both are exceptionally well written. Both present unique perspectives on the current state of affairs and both bring up compelling points for the reader to carefully consider. it's the solutions that are so incredibly diverse and that lends credence to the idea that these are incredibly challenging circumstances with equally divisive perspec...

Review:Can you say "home-grown facism"? We got to repair our method of law-making in this country. Big Money lobbyists are running this government and have been for too long. "By the people and for the people" has become a thing of the past. I hope you sell a billion of your book and maybe a few of them will see the light. Read more

Review:This book captures and analyses several significant events in the post-Revolutionary War period that shaped the young republic. Mr. Ellis effectively conveys the personalities and circumstances in which they worked and strived to advance their positions, though some of the analysis extends beyond storytelling to historical debate, something better appreciated by scholars than the average reader.
