Review:Got this for my boyfriend for is birthday. Great condition. I read a little before boxing it back up and I must say even if you aren’t a fan of his music or of rap in general you should read it. It still makes for a good read to get to know him and his past etc. Read more

Review:You have to read this book with your brain engaged.

Jackie Robinson was not just another jock. This was an amazingly gifted athlete who had brains.

He broke the racial barrier and became the first black player in major league baseball. He proved to be the perfect person to ignore the efforts of bigoted white players who tried to physically injure him during baseball games.

When he first started playing, the other players on the team weren't quite sure to deal with him. But w... Read more

Review:Amazing story that gripped me till the very end. Ms. Pat is an inspiration to all women and those who weren’t born with a silver spoon. No matter what, never, ever, ever give up is a great motto for this riveting book! I couldn’t put it down and loved the various characters who influenced Ms. Pat. A true window to poverty on a whole new level. Read more

Review:This book was required reading for a multicultural education course I took to receive my teaching certification. This literary text is rich in personal voice and magnifies the mental obstacles and fortitude endured by African Americans of this time. I recommend this book to anyone but also encourage its use in the high school classroom. Read more

Review:I liked this book mainly because it is unlike what is out there. I expected it to be a bit juvenile from its description but it really, really is juvenile.

Still, fun to read. However, the descriptions seem to blur together after awhile because they are so repetitive.

It found its place by the toilet where it made a fun toilet reader. Read more

Review:I have never written a book review before but had to on this one. My mom read this and raved about it and encouraged me to pick it up. I did and I am so thankful I did! I bought myself a copy and have encouraged all my friends to read it. After reading this book I was truly inspired to spend more time with the Lord...getting to know Him through His Word. He really is all I have whether I am in a state of plenty or want. And this book was so encouraging to hear the testimonies of how God answered... Read more

Review:John Toland's Rising Sun gives a unique documentation of the events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor from the Japanese perspective as well as the conduct of the war in the Pacific with the opposing viewpoints of the politicians and military. The opportunities to avoid war that were wasted through misinterpretation and miscommunication which could have dramatically altered history are painfully recorded. Needless loss of life of men and women (and children), both military and civilian, ... Read more

Review:My only problem with this is its length. There are millions of stories we'll never know about their relationship.
I a very thankful to have had an incredible loving mother. This makes me want to pass it on, no matter what stage of life I'm in. Read more

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

Review:I like this book simply because it gives an honest first hand experience into slavery, not the history book type of account with all its bias. It really touches you to see the suffering of one human at the hands of another. Makes me wonder about the so called superior cultured European and their cunning devices.
Love it because it's written from the heart. Read more
