The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano
The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano

Review:Well, I highly doubt this is an honest account of this man's life
Towards the end, I did some research and found others too have doubted the accuracy. Some of his situations seem quite fanciful.
I do not, however, doubt the accuracy in portrayal of the treatment of enslaved and feed Africana and African Americans Read more

The True Story of My Abduction - Eight Years of Enslavement
The True Story of My Abduction - Eight Years of Enslavement

Review:And I mean UNBELIEVABLE, this is quite a story, however, some of the cruelty of this fragile, undernourished young lady, beaten so savagely that it is inconceivable that she could survive and be strong enough to do construction work on a flat that had to be 'gutted ' which takes the strength of very able bodied human beings. Common sense just wouldn't let me imagine this part of this great book. Believe me, I had to read every page because most of it is riveting and believable.......I also wan... Read more

A Survival Manual for a Sexist Workplace - Feminist Fight Club

Review:This book will change your life. It sure changed mine. As a millennial feminist, the messages in Jessica's book resonated with and empowered me. What's more, her humor, whit, and charm all contribute to making what should be a necessary read for all women a deeply satisfying and entertaining one as well. I can guarantee you this book will make you a smarter and more thoughtful person -- and, if you're a woman working under the patriarchy, a more successful, kick-ass, take-no-prisoners, invaluabl...

100 Amazing Facts About the Negro with Complete Proof

Review:I was amazed at the amount of information revealed in one place about our history! Yet, I was saddened to know that so much of this information is not known. Now, I am inspired to do more to "spread" the word. Kudos to J. A. Rogers for bringing these facts to light. This is great reading for all "races". Read more

gripping read for Halloween (Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries 5) (The Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries)

Review:I've greatly enjoyed the Ruth Galloway mysteries but this latest offering was a bit of a disappointment. First of all, there was very little mystery or suspense to it. Only one or two of the suspects made any impact so the denouement at the end was surprising since it involved a character that had not been much of a presence. Secondly, there was little archeology, forensics or otherwise. Yes, there was a grave, and some bones, and the question as to whether or not the grave was really that o... Read more

The Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries 4 - A Room Full of Bones
The Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries 4 - A Room Full of Bones

Review:The appeal of the Ruth Galloway books by Elly Griffiths are: an unconventional heroine surrounded by quirky characters such as Cathbad the Druid; the archaeological subject matter and the mystery plot.

In this book the author has had to deal with what would happen once the paternity of Ruth's daughter was discovered. This side of the book is unexpected but satisfying. Where the book falls down is in the plotting of the mystery and the archaeological component.

This time Ruth is cau... Read more

The Kingdom of Speech
The Kingdom of Speech

Review:I have been convinced for some time that Darwin’s theory is highly flawed. In fact, it is clear that even many biologists, as well as other evolutionary “scientists” know full well the problems with the theory. However, they view Darwinian evolution as providing the scientific foundation for their materialistic beliefs. For this reason, most biologists aggressively defend the theory even while they desperately look for a naturalistic alternative. Author Tom Wolfe sees Darwinian evolution for wha... Read more
