Review:I liked all the books and characters very much but sometimes the story lines can be a little dark for me. I love that characters repeat through the books. It's like catching up on what an old friend is doing. Read more

Review:Upton Sinclair at his best. The story of an accidental "secret agent" and the traps he falls into. The innocent victims this poor man takes with him is another example of the tyranny of the Fascist regimes Sinclair despises. It is an excellent example of this man's skills, never failing to keep the reader guessing as to where the grim tale will lead. If you like Sinclair with "The Jungle" and "King Coal", you will enjoy this one, too. Read more

Review:Read this short essay waiting in my doctor's office and laughed the whole way. For those of us who think they never lie, think again! Mark Twain has an interesting way of defining the lie, which makes us all guilty! Fun to read and makes you think a lot about the way we humans interact with one another. Read more

Review:I have never found so many ideas explored in a book before. This book meanders like the river it celebrates, touching on everything from geography to personal narrative. It has wit and wisdom, tall tales and beautiful truths, stinging social commentary mixed with honest wonder at the changing times. All told in a voice as American as apple pie. I truly think Samuel Clemens cannot be rated highly enough in his capabilities as an observer, reporter, and bulls***ter. (I mean this in the most loving... Read more

Review:The company's service was good, but the book itself was full of printing errors. A large speech was absent at the end, and I caught that only because I'd looked it up; the ending made no sense without it. There was also computer code on the pages here and there in the middle of text. I definitely don't recommend this publisher's version of the book. Read more

Review:I liked this book a lot because of the ability this author has shown in the use of the English language and in developing plots with a clever twist at the end. This is a book of short stories which are pithy and fast moving, with very engaging descriptions of the range of quaint characters GK Chesterton seems to delight in portraying. A good read for those who like to read well written literature but also like to have their imaginations stirred. Read more

Review:The story seems to go from event to event to event, (not really the same as the stories you have seen repeatedly in the movies) with limited connectedness between them. I wanted to know the whole story, as I enjoy the Arthur stories in every version I have seen, but much prefer the movie rewrites over the book, which is completely off for me. Read more

Review:Free book on Grimm's stories, what's not to like? I urge everyone out there before buying a copy of any older classic (Dracula, Grimm's, Pride and Prejuidice) to look for a free version. The books are considered public domain and can be found for free rather than buying them. Amazon has free copies of loads of public domain books. Please check before you pay! Read more

Review:I was rereading this book looking forward to seeing old friends. However, the detailed descriptions on procedures and equipment sometimes get in the way of the action sequences. All in all, a good read. Read more

Review:The planet Grayson is inhospitable to humans. The air, soil, water, flora and fauna are poisonous. People have survived for a thousand years by severely limiting their population and growing sustenance in enviro-domes. Along comes Honor and she introduces a colony of carnivorous shoulder cats. The cats don’t do animal husbandry but they expect to eat meat. How smart is that? But the Grasonites are thrilled because it is Honor Harrington doing it and they LOVE her! That silliness transpires in Ch... Read more
