Review:Purchased for My Mother who read and RE-READ "The Celestine Prophecy" and the second book written first place in this series yearly, and BEGGED Me to do the Same Yearly after she had Re-read them again, She would again beg Me to READ these books until I finally read "The Celestine Prophecy" when I was in My Early 20s.. Years after they'd been published the first time. Then I happened across these online not last Christmas but the One before it, and My Mother who's in the process of losing her m... Read more

Review:This book brings an actualization of the teachings contained in the prior four books by James Redfield. It was long awaited and it came with perfect timing to help in the awakening of our conscience in this transcendental period in history. Read more

Review:The difficulty of having written a novel like “On the Road” is trying to follow up with a book that chronicles all that happens afterward. Kerouac wrote “Big Sur” as a reflection of what happens after a writer receives the fame and fortune that “The Road” brought. Like other writers such as, Joseph Heller, Erica Jong, and Henry Miller, trying to capture the book that made you famous will always fall far short. He is in his forties when he writes this and his Road days have long since past. His n... Read more

Review:I've enjoyed reading several Dima Zales books. His books are fast-moving and thought-provoking. He's a good story-teller and excels in world-building. His stories tend to feel a bit like a roller-coaster ride, with a very short prelude before characters are thrust immediately into dire situations. I don't find his characters as fleshed out as I would like, but his stories are very entertaining. Read more

Review:Brings the story of Tinker Bell, Neverland & Peter Pan to a whole new level. Its amazing how the author turned childrens stories to a wonderful, heartbreaking, fantastical book. 100% recommend to ANYONE Read more

Review:this was Such a lovely read.

starhawk creates a future working from threads in our own time, and it's such a compelling place to be that i didn't want to leave. this book picks up right where "the fifth sacred thing" left off, although obviously star's writing craft has evolved in the intervening decades. super exciting, super absorbing, incredibly inspiring.

the one knock on it is its length -- 'cause at 650 pages when it ended i wasn't ready to be parted from the characters. Read more

Review:"Let me at least not die without a struggle, inglorious, but do some big thing first, that men to come shall know of it." -Homer (Hector speaking)

The Conflict

At the brink of war, two great nations fought for the sake of glory and honor. One for the rescuing of Helen, the wife of Agamemnon, who was stolen by Paris, and the other for the protection of the fate of Ilium. On the defensive you have the Trojans of Ilium (commonly referred to as Troy), and on the offensive you have the ... Read more

Review:I painfully finished this book just because I try to make it a point NOT to leave a book unfinished (I learned my lesson with The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, which ended up being a great book). This book is NOT suspenseful, poorly written, and the characters are boring and undeveloped. I can't believe that some gave it a good review; I'd like to give them a list of books that are actually worth reading. Read more

Review:I suspect the negative reviews of this book are because it does not include George's familiar characters of Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers who have added so much to her previous mysteries. There is no doubt that this was written by Elizabeth George. It has all of the psychological depth of her previous novels. No one should have used the abridged recording to review this book. Yes, George's books are long, but that's what makes them complicated and worthwhile. This was not a boring book a... Read more

Review:Without spoiling, I was quite disappointed withe the first 70% of this book. It seemed like nothing was happening except an excessive amount of details that I don't care about. The last 30% moved at a better pace and things began to take shape. Too bad the whole book wasn't like that. I am looking forward to the next book though. The last 30% hooked me in for more. Hopefully the author packs it with more action and less descriptive narratives on how someone feels about walking from here to there... Read more
