Review:Disappointed, like the others. Not as bad as "If you Were Here", but the recycled content really was irritating. I hope she's not past her prime, I continue to enjoy her blog, and re-read the first few books and still find them funny. Come back to us, Jen!!! Read more

Review:Dr. Eric Foner is a prolific and expert American historian. Aside from textbooks, he has published widely on American Slavery, Reconstruction and the Civil War. Foner, in 2010, won the Pulitzer Prize for his "The Fiery Trial." This book is a gem which is essential reading for those wanting to explore the thinking on slavery in the mind of the genius Abraham Lincoln, the Great Empancipator.
Lincoln was always against slavery since the trips he took in his youth to New Orleans where he saw sl... Read more

Review:Beautifully and honestly written. I was absolutely captivated by Ann Patchett's writing and definitely plan on reading some of her other earlier works. I bought this after hearing her in an NPR radio interview. Highly recommended! Read more

Review:I read Lucy Grealy's "Autobiography of a Face" and liked it; I was moved by her suffering, as I had endured taunts by my schoolmates about my appearance all throughout my childhood, too. I read Ann Patchett's article about Grealy in New York magazine, and was shocked at how unstable Grealy really was. This book is a longer version of the article, and it is even more shocking in its details of how truly mentally ill Grealy was. But what is really appalling to me is the promoting of this book as a... Read more

Review:I don't know what I was expecting but this wasn't what I thought. It was well written and I did laugh a few times but I thought the stories should have been chronological. The author probably had a reason . I read the whole book so it kept my attention Read more

Review:Very good product. Bought this for my daughter at Christmas. She was 10 years old at the time and now is 11. Months later, she still enjoys doing her nails, using the designs in this book. Not sure about the quality of the polish, but that's not the point. Buy this for the instructions and ideas. Read more

Review:This book is amazing, Chosen By a Horse was given to me as a gift to me by my barn owner as a going away present for me to read of the plane for my first deployment and I must say that Susan Richards totally pulled me in. I found myself laughing at some of the things that happened with her and Georgia because that is my Mare and then I found myself on a plane full of Marines crying like a baby. I have since oreder her othe two book; Chosen Forever and Saddled. Both were equally amazing and she l... Read more

Review:I have to strongly disagree with the editorial and reader reviews on this essay, even though it was a national bestseller. The book is touted as possibly the most rational description of a descent into morbid, clinical depression and suicidal despair. I didn't find it so. Styron was descriptive but rather than probing and baring the depths of his mind and emotions during his depression, I felt he only hinted at the tip of the iceberg. I didn't find any riveting, palpable tracing of his depressio... Read more

Review:The very title gives the reader a clue as to how the book is written: factual, clearly stated, and pretty boring. If the reader wants to learn a little about the subject, it's okay; but, if you'd like to be entertained, either by the subject matter or the writing, forget it. Read more
