Review:This book is awesome! I never knew about the beginning of her life. You can really sense the love she had for her family and most of all for Desi Arnaz. The way she talks about their first meeting and how much the were in love was really stunning. Most of the book is dedicated to how great and special he was. She even told the stories about his faults in a way that showed how much she really did care for him. It was touching when she talked about how she wanted to be such a great wife and onl...

Review:Short book, very fast read. Obviously a brilliant guy. Equally obviously out there where the buses don't run : )
Raging egotist, and honestly, rightfully so. Book is a very biased look into the mind of one of the great inventors of all time. Growing up, we never read about him in history class, Maybe he was too quirky?
The book could use the services of a good editor.
Glad I bought it. Glad I read it. Informative in many ways-positive and negative,
Now off to read 'Empires of Light' ... Read more

Review:I always enjoy Patrick Swayze movies. He played so many different roles so well. I also enjoy the Hollywood legend stories too. The book combines many stories as well as life struggles that the couple went through. Well written so even I could follow it. definitely worth a read. Read more

Review:Strangely, after reading her autobiography, I find Maureen a bit unlikable. Hard to get over her dysfunctional relationship with John Ford and her sense of morality stemming from her "strong" Catholic faith. I get this feeling there is a lot more going on in the background than she was ever going to disclose. Read more

Review:Of interest, but shame on me for not realizing what the book is when I ordered it. From listening to the first hour or so, it is an eery telling of the Dear Leader's life from a first-person/propagandist's point of view. Again, shame on me, but I bought it expecting a factual report on life in the People's "Republic" of North Korea.
Why'd I give it four starts? Because it's well done; this review is just a warning to be sure you know what you're buying. Read more

Review:Our order was a gift. Unfortuanely it was shipped to the wrong address. A nother edition was not available. The vendor graciously refunded our order and promised to ship a replacement free if he could find one. Read more

Review:Got this for my boyfriend for is birthday. Great condition. I read a little before boxing it back up and I must say even if you aren’t a fan of his music or of rap in general you should read it. It still makes for a good read to get to know him and his past etc. Read more

Review:You have to read this book with your brain engaged.

Jackie Robinson was not just another jock. This was an amazingly gifted athlete who had brains.

He broke the racial barrier and became the first black player in major league baseball. He proved to be the perfect person to ignore the efforts of bigoted white players who tried to physically injure him during baseball games.

When he first started playing, the other players on the team weren't quite sure to deal with him. But w... Read more

Review:Winston Churchill is a giant of history. By coincidence he is also my personal favorite foreign author of non fiction. (I am an American.) His writing style is very florid and reads like fiction rather than non fiction. He uses many illusions and has an ironical sense of humor. He was awarded a Nobel Prize for literature.

This is a autobiography, composed in mid life, in 1930, but only about his life from 1874 to 1904. As such, the story does not include anything about either World W... Read more

Review:I absolutely loved this book, I bought it almost 20years ago and bought another copy as I do not like sharing my books and this one my sons etc can borrow it. John's honesty is so very refreshing and I go back and re-read it. Some sad, very loving, tragic but most of all, the story of his life in his own eyes. I highly recommend this book. Read more
