Review:Wonderfully written....Total absorption....One of the most interesting books I have ever read....Because
I remember FDR and I always admired Eleanor I looked forward for a long time to read her life history.
If she was alive today she would be a great candidate for president! Read more

Review:Really great story of how determination and hard work can get where you want to go. I love the show and found the book highly entertaining with laugh out loud moments. They achieved success on their terms in their way; what is not to love? Fast read but you will enjoy! Read more

Review:A wonderful surprise as I mistakenly ordered this book. I was looking to buy "The Boys in the Boat", which I recently have ordered. But back to the "Boy in the Boat" which I found to be well written and held my attention from the first page until the last. I recommend this book for an insight to what was a view of Ireland and the struggles of it's people. The main character is most interesting in his upbringing - or lack of - and the many trials he endured during his life. Lots of sadness, bruta... Read more

Review:The scientific details embedded in the account create an understanding beyond the usual non-fiction book . The author helps you see and feel the events in the lives of the people involved and gives you a deeper appreciation of their struggles and successes. Read in kindle but will purchase a hard copy to have to re-read! Read more

Review:The three pillars of health – diet, exercise, and environmental training.

For at least half a century the conventional wisdom about maintaining good physical health has rested on the twin pillars of diet and exercise. While those are no doubt vital, there’s an equally important, but completely ignored, third pillar – environmental training.

If you're interested in health, read this book. Read more

Review:The Queen of Katwe is both a heartbreaking and awe inspiring story. As I read the first chapters, my heart ached for the people in Uganda, especially Phiona who lives in the slums. But even though her life is made up of sheer day-to-day survival, her love of family and faith in God sustains her. Phiona is an amazing young lady who has an incredible aptitude for the game of chess. The more I read of Phiona's story, the more I understood her determination, hope, endurance, and strong love for fami... Read more

Review:After over two decades, I still recall the shock of hearing the Simpson jury had returned a verdict almost immediately after a year long trial.

Crossing a hotel lobby, I, along with everyone else, stood rooted to the spot, eyes on the television. Almost before the foreman read the verdict, I knew that it could only mean one thing. No jury seriously studying evidence that would send someone to prison for life, could possibly return a studied verdict in less than a day. Even so, it was s... Read more

Review:Mike finally comes clean! He protected OJ illegally for many years knowing the truth that OJ "did it". The stashing of OJ's personal and sports items was certainly very illegal. The book again shows that juries do get it wrong at times when a good attorney lies and missleads. Read more

Review:I absolutely loved reading this book. I was only 8 years old when this happened, I started watching the television series of the murder, and was in ah to know a guilty man was set free. I became curious of all the characters, especially mark and began to wonder what happen, and decided to read his book, and not for a second was I disappointed. He explains in depth every moment and I love him even more as a person. They should've never let him go from the force or pressed charges against him. It'... Read more

Review:This book was better than I expected, not because of the insight into the trial but because of the insight into race relations from a black professional. I was extremely impressed with Mr. Darden's ability to explain the emotions and thoughts that blacks have about whites. From the beginning , Mr. Darden expresses his beliefs that blacks think differently than whites, but are fair, honest, and hard-working, despite the fact that many whites think otherwise. Mr. Darden's early optimism that th... Read more
