Review:What an inspiring book for young and old! This young man who was able to envision a new creation and to persevere the trials of tribulations of the lack of resources, coupled with a famine, is truly a model for his countrymen and those throughout the world. Read more

Review:Different from other Holocaust books I have read, all written by males. This one, is created by a female writer. A young girl survived from catastrophies, from the evil hand of nazi germany. She almost single handed saved her mother (changed her opinions toward her from then on), and reunited with her brother right before the liberation. Thought provoking stories with vivid details and shocking truth. Beautiful book. Read more

Review:Required reading for those wanting to know the real experience of the holocaust from the pens of grown children.
Although I purchased Allan Zullo and Mara Bovsun's book to use as research on a book I was writing ,it not only served that purpose. I was swept up into the horror of genocide. An abomination! Each narrative expressed gratitude for surviving, but I couldn't help getting angry for each one all over again. Just to know that a selected group of individuals was being subdued by the ...

Review:What I liked about this work was the realistic portrayal of a military family and the vulnerability of a son who is conflicted with his ambivalent feelings toward his stern father. Pat Conroy conveys his sensitivity and understanding in all of his novels, but this one could be the nearest to autobiographical. I think the Robert Duvall/ Blythe Danner movie is great, too!

Review:What determination this man had. So thoughtful at even a very young age. If anything he shows us that even through the worse despair one could not even imagine one can find and make his own light and lift himself up. Amazing life, amazing man. Read more

Review:Somehow, in our time, the adjective 'unique' has come to be misused and heavily overused. Properly it means hardly more than "only" or "the only one (of of its kind)." There is nothing like this story and surely nobody like Gladys Aylward.

In several pages is told the story of a warlord who converted, was then held prisoner by his own men, escaped, found his way back to Aylward's inn, and knew that "I belong to Jesus" fully explained his life. I cannot adequately summarize this particu... Read more

Review:This book is not for everyone, but I really enjoyed it because I started to read it when I started running on a regular basis, and the author's thoughts echoed my own. Perhaps my favourite Murakami book yet. Read more

Review:... a wonderful retelling of terrible truths.

As Raina Telgemeier tells us, "MARCH is one of the most important graphic novels ever created - an extraordinary presentation of an extraordinary live, and proof that young people can change the world. I'm stunned by the power of these comics, and grateful that Congressman Lewis's story will enlighten and inspire future generations of readers and leaders."

Amen. Read more
