My Life: Based on the Book Gifted Hands
My Life: Based on the Book Gifted Hands

Review:THe book is yet another wonderful publication to be handed out to new and future Ben Carson admirers and voters. I am going to order more to pass out to my neighbors, several of which are highly educated black families. I also am going to show the 2 CD films of Dr Carson. I will wait after the Iowa vote, where I am hoping and believe that Dr Carson's vote tallies will come in very high.

Then when Dr Carson's name comes to the forefront, new voters will be more curious about him, and t... Read more

A Doctor in the House: My Life with Ben Carson
A Doctor in the House: My Life with Ben Carson

Review:We just got the book yesterday and we have already read it all the way through! It is a great story of a life well lived and you can't put the book down once you get started. It is a great insight into an already great view from the outside of a family that cares deeply about the direction our nation is going. We will be watching to see the outcome of the coming election events and we are hopeful that a man of this character will go in to the White House. It is a very refreshing and in some ... Read more

Finding Gobi: A Little Dog with a Very Big Heart

Review:My book arrived last night and I just finished it this afternoon! I couldn't put it down! Even though I have been following Gobi and her story since day one and I know how it ends, I was still holding my breath until the very end! I had no idea the story of Finding Gobi was so much more! I cried, I laughed, and I even got angry in spots! It's an emotional roller coaster of a ride with the bestest ending of all! It's my new favorite book and I hope one day to get to meet Gobi and Dion and may e... Read more

Jackie's Girl: My Life with the Kennedy Family

Review:An interesting book very well written about a young Irish girl who comes to the US and becomes Jackie Kennedy's assistant. It was touching in many ways as this young girl rose from the depths of poverty in Ireland and became a part of the Kennedy family following their move to New York City. Easy reading very enjoyable.

Black Like Me: 50th Anniversary Edition
Black Like Me: 50th Anniversary Edition

Review:I recalled this title recently from my high school years of many decades ago. In the current time, it was as powerful now as I recalled it to be. Truly a gut-wrenching classic on experiencing unethical discrimination. Read more

The True Story of a Modern-Day Irish Mystic - Angels in My Hair

Review:I felt inspired by this work and feel Lorna Byrne is genuine in her explanations of incidents that are amazing. I like the way Lorna has interwoven her message through her life story. Lorna has a very clear message to teach us her readers and she does this with clarity and interest. I believe I have chosen to improve my thinking because of Lorna's ability and gift that she ensures we all have but haven't yet recognized. I want to thank Lorna for sharing this wonderful inspiring gift with the wor... Read more

The Education of Richard Rodriguez - Hunger of Memory
The Education of Richard Rodriguez - Hunger of Memory

Review:I just finished reading Hunger of Memory as an assignment for a Language and Literacy class I'm taking in my teacher training program. I recommend this book to all teachers or to people like myself who are planning to be teachers. Rodriguez does a outstanding job of capturing the feelings of confusion and separation one feels when learning English. I liked how Rodriguez corelates language with intimacy. He talks a lot about how Spanish was for him a language of intimacy and family. When he ... Read more

Manchild in the Promised Land
Manchild in the Promised Land

Review:Who would've thought this medium-skinned candystore-robbing Harlem boy would've became an Ivy-league law student? Claude Brown tells his life story with honesty and open truth reminiscent of Miles Davis's autobiography. He discusses his encounters with girls, especially Sugar, who is ugly and has messed up teeth but still a certain charm about her, and his experiences at various reform schools. I found the relationship he had with his father to be especially interesting because of the constan... Read more

'Tis: A Memoir
'Tis: A Memoir

Review:Frank McCourt was at his very best with a continuation of sorts to Angela's Ashes. His discriptions bring you to the times and places he lived through. I can not express enough how much I admire the man he became and the love he expressed for his Mother. Read more

Review:For any level of either afferent or efferent pedagoguery and learning this makes the 72 hour weeks and the help Every Child Left Behind by a certain semiliterate Wolfram all worth while. Buy this thing. Read more
