Review:The Woman Warrior can be a difficult to follow work. It is classified as a autobiography, but is actually something of a collection of experiences from Maxine Hong Kingston’s life synthesized with five “talk-stories,” spoken Chinese folk tales of ancient history, myths, and beliefs as told by Kingston and Kingston’s mother, into sections. As readers progress, they are lead through Kingston’s own coming-of-age experiences, vague in their placement in time while meticulously precise in their captu... Read more

Review:I bought this book for my husband and he absolutely loved it. He lost the book at work before he finished it and I had to buy him another one. The book was not only informative but was also very entertaining. Read more

Review:At times, the story was so depressing, I was tempted to put the book down without finishing it, but my curiosity about how it would end kept me going. I'm so glad I did because this story takes away all the excuses people use when they are victimized. Liz was a victim of many things, but she has shown others that they can rise above their situations and rebound from their own poor choices. Read more

Review:This book is addicting - literally! Cat Marnell is a vivid writer and I couldn't put this down...the characters that come and go throughout her life and the way she handles herself suck you in to another world that is both colorful and exhausting. Highly recommended if you're looking for something outside your comfort zone - can't wait until book #2! Read more

Review:At the outset, I found this book readable because of Wurtzel's laughably bad writing. It was almost fascinating how someone with nothing to recommend her could be so grandiose and egomaniacal. At one point early in the book she even compares herself to a vietnam vet, and says that if you haven't been a vietnam vet, that you don't know what it feels like to be her. Excuse me, but has she ever been a vietnam vet? However, such stupidity, after page 50 or so, simply becomes intolerable. To think th... Read more

Review:`The Obamas: A Mission, Marriage.' is a portrait of the first couple during their first few years in the White House. This explores the lead up to his election and the hope that was placed in him. It looks at the settling in period that Michelle toiled with and the struggle she had finding her place in the administration.

Review:As someone who followed John Kasich's campaign from the very start and voted for him in The North Carolina GOP Primary, I was anxious to pick up this book. Trust me when I say that it doesn't disappoint. Kasich's optimism and hope for America shine through each page, at a time when America's path looks full of doom and gloom, Kasich provides ample reason for Americans to remain optimistic. Read more

Review:I thought the book was inspirational but in no way is this non- fiction. I was very disappointed that it is sold as a true story. I am not an expert but common sense tells me that no one could accomplish this the way it was presented. This is only my opinion and does not detract from the way it was written. I enjoyed reading it. Read more
