Review:Just loved this book. During the aftermath of Storm Sandy 2012 and weeks of no electricity. this book and a flashlight got me through much frustration. Ties the human experience to ancient artfacts. A keeper. Read more

7th Edition - Interpersonal Communication - Everyday Encounters
7th Edition - Interpersonal Communication - Everyday Encounters

Review:I had to buy this for a college course. I might as well have wiped myself with the pages. If you are looking for a whole bunch of politically correct lectures about how all of the world's problems are caused by heterosexual, white males, then this is the book for you. If you have to buy this for a college class, I'm sorry. Read more

Everyday - How to Argue & Win Every Time
Everyday - How to Argue & Win Every Time

Review:I expected this book to have a little more structure in building and executing an argument but it does not do that. It instructs the reader to be passionate, tell a powerful story, and speak from the heart. This all makes sense but I was looking for a little more practical advice. There are some good segments but in many chapters I found myself wondering if what was written was the author's stream of consciousness at that point in time. Read more

When Zachary Beaver Came to Town (Readers Circle)
When Zachary Beaver Came to Town (Readers Circle)

Review:The book is about Zachary. Zachary is a very fat teenager. It was also about Toby. Toby's mother left the home. A guy named Cal is in it. He's brother went to fight in the Vietnam War.

The part I hate the most was when something happened to Cal's brother.

My favorite part was when Zachary got baptized.

I didn't like the book because it didn't have hardly any action, it's too boring, and too sad. It was nothing but talk, it was slow and too pitiful. It was disappointing and l... Read more

A Kiss Before Dying (Macmillan Reader)
A Kiss Before Dying (Macmillan Reader)

Review:After purchasing a kindle I was looking for the first book to read in digital form. This book was on sale and based on reviews I got it. I'm a person that gets bored quickly if it gets into too many details. This book is a very easy read and one of the few I actually enjoyed. Read more

Revised and Expanded Edition - Tales of Music and the Brain
Revised and Expanded Edition - Tales of Music and the Brain

Review:Not an easy reading book. As a musician, I did not expect it to be a psychology book. I expected it to be how the brain and music, like mathematics and music, support each other. The writer rambles on and on about the same thing over and over in each anecdotal story he writes about - very monotonous. Stopped reading after part 1 (chapter 6). Very disappointed in the book.

Review:Rec'd. this book yesterday and it is in great condition. Ordered this week and received within 4 days! HOWEVER, through no fault of the seller(s) it had come out of the package!

How Learning to Listen Can Improve Relationships - The Lost Art of Listening

Review:This was suggested to my by my professor and I really don't feel like it gives me anything I haven't already learned in my undergrad and now grad classes in counseling. For a non student I can see where this could be helpful. Read more

Companion to The Satanic Bible - The Satanic Rituals
Companion to The Satanic Bible - The Satanic Rituals

Review:This is the most inflammatory of Mr. LaVey's first four books. In the other three books, Mr. LaVey attempts to explain his philosophy to the reader. His explanations include cosmetics to make the philosophy more attractive.
In "The Satanic Rituals" Mr. LaVey provides the text (in English plus the original German) of the actual rituals used within The Church of Satan, plus instructions sufficient to allow a priest to conduct each ritual. The rituals are presented with *very* little in... Read more
