Review:Of all the Andrew Clements school books I've read, Lunch Money was by far the least engaging. The reason for this is that a large part of the book focuses on numbers instead of people, and where Clements has succeeded in the past is in his ability to make us really like his leading characters. Greg, the lead character in this book, is not very nice. He's largely driven by money and selfishness, and although Clements does try to make Greg more personable by depicting his change of attitude, th... Read more

Review:Having purchased the original encyclopedia nearly 20 years ago, I found this newer version to be a perfect update. While some killers (Bundy, Dahmer and Fish) weren't updated due in part to their entries being done and over with, some others are still open and alive and have had their entries enhanced (Mason, Jack the Ripper and Wuronos to name a few) as well as a few new entries as well. Whether your interested in it for psychological reasons, crime reasons or want a nice coffee table book to s... Read more

Nevertheless, this book is not a book of socialist manifesto that urges the impecunious to revolt ag... Read more

Review:Overall with a dash of accounting and finance lectures thrown in for good measure the book is a good basis to see what Buffett thinks. Now one could get most of this from Berkshires website but the oldest reports (which aren't online) have some of the best insights into how the man thinks and make for a good overall read. Read more

Review:Brian K. Vaughan is the best writer in comics. Of this, I'm sure. I have loved almost everything he's written and was happy to finally get a chance to read this. He has an amazing way of humanizing so many different types of characters. The plot here, based on a true story, is simple and pure: survival. He takes it so far past that. Just an amazing story. The art was very good. Overall a fantastic must read! Read more
