Review:David Carr was a very courageous and talented man. His life could have easily continued to spiral out of his control had he not made significant changes for the sake of his daughters. His book was a page turner. Read more

Review:As an Arkansan and an acquaintance of the Clintons and an amateur student of their governship/presidency, I especially welcome Noonan's masterpiece of insight on the issue of "what the Clintons are". I have attempted for over twenty years to articulate that definition, and have found that if I had just waited for this book, I could have saved myself the trouble. The Clintons are everything Noonan says they are, and it's not a pretty picture.
For the reviewer from New York: if you don't... Read more

Review:The story was disjointed, bouncing around in time. Evidently the Wardens did wrong, but it was only hinted at. The quotes at the beginning and end of each chapter did not add anything. Lengthy expositions on topics that were obliquely related in many cases did nothing to enhance the story. This story needs to be rewritten in chronological order putting the reader in the experience not wondering why the author is taking the reader through a labyrinth that obscures the gist of the story. I bo... Read more

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

Review:Well-written, easy read - and highly relevant to 2015 issues. If you are concerned about current events, particularly #BlackLivesMatter, Ferguson (and the Ferguson DOJ report), and the events in Baltimore, then I think you will enjoy this book. Read more

Review:Susan Orlean obviously did a lot of research, which is spewed back at the reader. Sadly, the book is a confused cross between local history and cultural analysis. Reads like an extended version of a lesser New Yorker piece. That said,I did learn how to transport orchids after primary bloom. Read more

Review:Mr. Wiener's life account as written in his autobiography will move you to tears. His willingness to share his story is courageous and I pray it will help us to never forget what mankind is capable of doing to each other. Through his account of atrocities committed against him and millions of others, he shares how love and kindness appear in places he wouldn't have expected and gives him hope. This is a tragic story and ended tragically for six million of our fellow mankind, but Mr. Wiener's ... Read more

Review:This book is truly literature -- a story to be savored and underlined! Doig has an amazing memory of his past, and his words allow the reader to "remember and feel" their own. His portrayal of not only himself, but his father, and grandmother is rich and strong and set in a moving picture of seasons, actions and language of the people of Montana mountains and towns. I hope that these western mountain people with such courage and spirit still exist. It is remarkable that Doig gained such... Read more
