The Shocking Inside Story of Violence - and Remorse
The Shocking Inside Story of Violence - and Remorse

Review:Mike finally comes clean! He protected OJ illegally for many years knowing the truth that OJ "did it". The stashing of OJ's personal and sports items was certainly very illegal. The book again shows that juries do get it wrong at times when a good attorney lies and missleads. Read more

Tiger Eyes
Tiger Eyes

Review:Tiger Eyes..... okay, when I started reading it I couldn't put it down. When I finished with it, it wasn't finished with me. This book doesn't make the characters lives all going and good. It talks about reality. Things people really go through. I think it has a message, but I don't know what. Davey was just feeling lonely and felt like she was in a bad soap opera, but she managed to get through it, and I think the book does have a happy ending. But I REALLY think there's room for a sequel. AND ... Read more

Forever . . . (Richard Jackson Book)
Forever . . . (Richard Jackson Book)

Review:Although it might seem like a petty girly book, it actually is a really good book that shows what girls go through with young love. I went through a lot of these same emotions when I was younger and thought I was in love. Great books for parents of teenagers. Read more

Deenie
Deenie

Review:Deenie is a great character. Once i started to read it I didnt stop. As it turns out I read the book in 3 hours srait!! IT is a cliffhangerish book, but not quite. At the end of every chapter you want to know what is going to turn out with the girl Deenie. This is a strong and sensual book. It is just like you are thinking what Deenie is thinking because you can feel what she is going through. I have read it so many times you wouldnt believe. I reccomend this book to people who cant ge... Read more

Basic Economics
Basic Economics

Review:This text was so easy to understand and could probably be given to High-school students, or even younger. Nothing is too complex for the average reader. You will actually find yourself shaking your head yes as most of this is simple common sense. But what really makes this book valuable is how all these simple ideas are taken to illustrate the answers to common economic questions we have all had, that we all see in the news, and politics every day. A lot of societies problems could be alleviated... Read more

Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human
Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human

Review:This was a huge disappointment. Facts were scattered about like crumbs on the floor. After positing that cooking made our food softer, therefore
easier to digest to give us quick energy, the very last chapter, then states that a study of Japanese women who ate mostly soft food (might it be a cultural cuisine was never mentioned), gained weight around their waists which could lead to mortality. Huh? No mention of Japanese men who
imbibe hi-calorie alcohol, nor bear children; the book simply... Read more

One Minute After You Die
One Minute After You Die

Review:On January 2nd my husband passed away. I know he is with the Lord, but had a question for my pastor. His response was to do a Bible Study on this book. It has been very helpful for me and so I ordered the book for Kindle and the work book in print. I am sorry to say, I haven't finished the book although I have read a lot of it, because I also have several other books I am reading for homework. But I fully intend to finish the reading and then go back to do the work book as well. It is very... Read more

The Feminine Mystique (50th Anniversary Edition)
The Feminine Mystique (50th Anniversary Edition)

Review:I purchased this book for my 15 year old daughter but read it first. Wow this book is an important read. Despite the fact it is about women's experience I feel the topic has relevance for a much wider modern audience who are struggling with identity and manipulation in this corporate based society. I am so glad I have armed my daughter with this book and its advice Read more
