Review:When Douglas Preston moved his family to the outskirts of Florence in 2000, he thought he was just going to enjoy la dolce vita and write a mystery novel. What he found was both more interesting and scarier than any story he could have come up with on his own. As he was interviewing a journalist named Mario Spezi who was an expert on the Italian legal system, Spezi casually mentioned that just outside the villa Preston and his family had rented, was the site of one of the most gruesome murder...

Review:This is regarding the Kindle version.
Brownsworth has compiled an enjoyable, efficient history of a few centuries of blood, gore, ambition, and globe trotting on the Vikings. In many ways, this is a "who's who" of Viking lore, bringing alive a series of world-changing adventurers and raiders.

Review:This book is gorgeous and inspiring! Be warned though- if you actually plan to cook these recipes they are not for the novice chef, and you will have to search for some of the ingredients.

Review:Poor assesment of the real situation that existed in Britain in May 1940. The author omits important facts how Churchill in his first few weeks of his premiership turned Britain from appeasement into a formidable fighting force.

Review:A friend recommended this book and I found it most interesting. It's a historic novel about Berlin during the war. The main character is very interesting and she mingles among many different people, that deal with the war in their own way.
It's very well written. Once I started the book,it was difficult to stop reading. Human Beings are very frightening in the way they behave towards one another. Read more
Review:This book explores Lawrence's life in more detail and at greater length than other biographies and accords him the role he earned while doing so against modern developments.
A must for serious Lawrence junkies. Read more
Review:I really liked this book, it was good reading, no boring parts. My only thought was after 20 years and there was still that "spark". It made it almost unbelievable, almost fairy tale. I may suggest it to my book club, thats where I got the name and author, in Good Housekeeping magazine a book club had read and discussed this book and I had to read it! Read more
Review:There is no better example of a true and dedicated friendship, the gift of giving, inspiration, adventure and the triumph of the human spirit than I'LL PUSH YOU.
