Biographies & Memoirs
Review:This was a good book. I had read "Autobiography of a Yogi" which style was very humble and forthright. I did not get the same from this book because I thought the author was just slightly arrogant about his knowledge and status. Left me wondering if he was "true". However, I am a little like "doubting Thomas". Read more
Review:You have probably heard of the movie directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. I remember seeing the movie. I thought it was a fun flick, nothing more or less. The thing that intrigued me the most was that this movie was based on a true story. It seemed impossible. How could a young man con so many intelligent people for so many years? It seemed too unreal, like something made up by Hollywood.
My curiosity got the best of me and I bought the autobiographic... Read more

Review:His traumatic experiences for his personal misadventures and still going straight with his Presidential responsibilities , you really fall in love with Clinton the Great President. Even the Republicans speak very high of his ability to steer the country in the most appropriate manner both in terms of his plans for bringing back prosperity and accumulating unprecedented cash reserves for the subsequent leaderships to squander.

Review:Reading this moving, lyrical tribute, you might think the author is talking about the 1930s or even the 19th century. She's not. This is a true, unsentimental portrait of a poor African-American community in Mississippi in the 1980s and 90s. Sure, it evokes tears. But it's so imbued with poetic detail, with dignity and an unflinching sense of humanity, that it's nothing short of eye-opening. You feel the author's mixed emotions – the push-pull of nostalgia for her hometown and disgust at th... Read more

Review:An incredible story written by a genuine American hero. Dick Winters was probably on of the best infantry unit commanders of WW II. An acquaintance was chosen to re-activate the 506th in the early 70's so I feel a remote connection with Mr. Winters. An absolute "must read". Read more
