Review:I wanted Alan Rickman's beautiful voice! Be careful ordering this. I ordered the Kindle book and upgraded to audio version since I don't want an Audible account. I wanted the Alan Rickman narration. What I got was an Kindle ebook and an audio version with a female narrator that would only play on my Android Kindle app at high speed. She was speaking about one and a half times normal speed. Could find no way to slow it down in the app. Read more

Review:Overall good storyline that shows us what Superman's upbringing would be like in a more modern context. It is clear that this is a new Superman, not the same one we are familiar with from decades prior.

Some minor quibbles still arise: the glasses-only disguise for Clark Kent, for example, but they don't diminish the storyline's entertainment value. Read more

Review:If you just like to see superheros punching things, Birthright isn't for you.

However, Of the origin/year one comics I've read, this one has a special place in my heart.

The pre-Superman experiences really capture the character, but it was about 1/3 the way through that I realized Birthright is a Superman collection must; as Clark is about to make his debut as Superman, he says to himself, "God... please don't let me look ridiculous." Clark Kent is fleshed out as a real person, no... Read more

Review:This story is fantastic. It is about a horse named Joey who gets taken away from his owner (Albert) and is sold to the military.
Joey goes through hard training , battle, and losses and remained a sturdy work horse.
Even though the book is told from the horse's point of view, you get a great amount of details about the people around him.
There is also a big question: will Albert ever find Joey again?Through Joey we receive a message of hope and the search for peace in the midst of a ba... Read more

Review:Touching Spirit Bear was an interesting story. I liked the whole survival process he went through on the island. The solitude, the peace in him was uplifting as he went from out of control delinquent to getting a handle on himself. When I saw there was a sequel, I thought what else can he write, Cole's story is complete. But upon reading the sequel, I see he has taken it to the next step. It takes Cole tackling real life, being back in high school, dealing with large quantities of people ag... Read more

Review:The story is easy reading and has a great meaning. I think it should be required reading for children in middle school thru high school. The story shows how one can overcome deep rooted anger and also the feeling of helplessness. I read it along with my granddaughter (she's in 6th grade) and we had some good discussions. Going to try and get my grandson to read who is in high school (9th grade). Read more

Review:This book is the story of Belgarath the Sorcerer who is over seven thousand years old. It takes place from his childhood all the way to well past his seven thousandth birthday. I wouldn't suggest reading this book unless you have first read the two series the Belgariad and the Mallorean. This story tells most of what is not told in those series.

The book is written like Belgarath is telling it. The author does a great job of writing the entire book in first person. And seeing as Belgarat... Read more

Review:No real creativity with words but it is a wonderful story, and I loved the characters, especially Jeremiah Land, Swede and Roxana Crawley. Story of Jeremiah Land, who believes in God, giving breath to his son Reuben, who nearly died at birth but faith kept him alive. Jeremiah had gone to college, made it through a tornado, but abruptly quit school and became a janitor. His wife couldn't deal with his decisions, left him and the children, married a rich man, and she has no contact with them. ... Read more

Review:The story line was acceptable but would have been better if characters and story were more developed.. The writing was repetitious. Kept thinking I might have enjoyed this much more if I was a teenager rather than an adult. It seemed the main topic was really superficial hollywood film information rather than the affair.

Review:I would recommend this book to any one interested in old wars. This was most interesting and my husband was well versed about the Cremean war, which was helpful in helping me understand the location and other facts. Read more
