Review:Powerful.....a world I did not know, did not understand, did not appreciate its impact upon the African-American populace. This is a MUST read.
Profound. Glad I read it, only wish I could have read it as a young man - would have given me more time to try to make a positive impact against this stain on the American story Read more

Review:Forget H. G. Wells. This is an extraordinary meditation on the nature of invisibility, how one becomes invisible, what it means, and the limits of what one can do to recover some visibility, some corporeal essence, when the world around you not only does not recognize you, but cannot or will not even see you in the first place. Yes, the novel has flaws, but the deeper truth within does not exceed one's grasp and is ultimately transcendent. Sure, you can pick nits, but in so doing is exposed, ... Read more

Review:Extremely worthy effort by Kendi. An important and significant review of the history of racism in America. Page after page of so much that was unknown to me. I have recommended this book to many people. Read more

Review:This book arrived on a day I was bed-ridden with a bad cold, and it was just the thing to perk me up. I love flipping through it and leaving it out on my coffee table for friends to enjoy, too. It is several pieces of fun art bound together. Much more fun than an ordinary book of quotes. Read more

Review:Listen, you aren't here because you stumbled on to a drag queen's book by the grace of Tati. You are here because 1) you think Willam owes you money or 2) you know what to expect. Prepare to read the book front to back, then top to bottom, and better yourself. To suck less. No false advertising here. You might even find aspects of your life where you didn't even know you sucked. So put your pants on, or take them off, and pay the "woman" for her services. Leave it on your coffee table, or just t... Read more

Review:When you read about Israel Keyes you will see what a madman he actually is. He was a dad, he owned his own business and yet he was a serial killer, rapist and even liked to rob banks. This man traveled cross country and would choose his victims randomly. If you are an avid TC reader, this book is hard to put down Author JT has written another best seller. Read more

Review:Though a little slow going do to too much repetition, it is filled with a tremendous amount of well documented information. With just the right amount of human feeling it allows the reader to understand the enormity of this tragedy. Read more

Review:I may be a bit biased as Jean Ed was a high school classmate -- president and most likely to succeed. I agree with George Will that Jean Ed Smith is currently the very best historical novelest. I have military background and was attending Penn State when Dwight was President and his brother, Milton, was President of Penn State. The book is extremely well researched. Read more

Review:I read this book to find out more of the history of the Korean and Vietnam wars. Actually, it turned out to be a well-written self-promotion book about Hackworth himself. I saw the author on TV, but as I read it I could only picture Oliver North. Hackworth proves he is a common man and a high school drop out by using a lot of written profanity.

He later attended West Point after proving himself in battle as an enlisted man. One learns lots of Army acronyms, and that the author conside... Read more

Review:They say that "Go Tell It on the Mountain" is the book that James Baldwin had to right before he could right anything else. Like Job, Baldwin bears witness to the struggles of everyday African Americans in the era of Jim Crow.

In this particular novel, he looks at the effects from a number of different viewpoints, whether as a man struggling to find his identity in New York City, or a woman who was raped by a group of white men in the South.

The book meanders between reality and re... Read more
