Travels (Vintage Departures)
Travels (Vintage Departures)

Review:This book tells MC's early years. From his medical studies, when he wrote novels using pseudonyms to support himself to some of his adventures, some you wouldn't imagine.
If you like his books, you should read this one to get to know him a little bit more even though it is a pretty old book, he should write a newer Bio. Read more

and the Conquest of Everest - The Great War

Review:Very interesting and exhaustively researched treatise on the early exploration of Everest, with comprehensive coverage of the historical and political context. The only downside is that it can be pretty hard keeping mental track of all the players and their back stories. Read more

Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports (#3) - Maximum Ride
Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports (#3) - Maximum Ride

Review:I've read most reviews, and I'd like to cover a few of the complaints as reasonably as I can.

This is a TEEN sci-fi book. The characters, to those who are going to read it, are plenty depthful; that's really how kids are these days. Seriously, we don't have too many "depthful" thoughts at that age, no matter how smart a teen is or how many special abilities we have. In fact, most of the characters are probably more depthful than real teens.

And about the frusterating thing with th... Read more

The Making and Breaking of Elite Gymnasts and Figure Skaters

Review:This book exhibits a great behind the scenes of elite gymnastics and ice skating of issues such as eating disorders, training and competing through injuries, body image, pressure from parents and coaches, etc. This book is a great read if you are a fan of either sport although it depicts a bit of a negative and stereotypical picture for both sports, times have indeed changed and have become better with respect to coaching and caring for athletes.

Our List of the 500 Best Places to See... Ranked - Lonely Planet's Ultimate Travel

Review:This is a gorgeous book with a wonderfully put together list of places to travel. Having been to a few of these, I can say they truly deserve a space on the list. This book definitely gives me major wanderlust. It would be an excellent coffee table book or gift for any intrepid traveller, or really for anyone that appreciates the diversity of beautiful places throughout the world. HOWEVER, my book arrived with several blank pages, I'm assuming due to a printing error. Destinations #4, 5, 7, 8, 1... Read more

The Long Way Home (The Homelanders)
The Long Way Home (The Homelanders)

Review:The book The Long Way Home by Andrew Klavan is a continuation of the first book, The Last Thing I Remember, in the Homelanders series. I particularly enjoyed this book because of the action mixed with mystery. The main character, Charlie West, being a fugitive accused of killing his best friend Alex, allows for constant action. In the first book, Charlie wakes up strapped to a chair, not remembering the past year. In this book, he is always either being chased by the police, or trying to fig... Read more
