Review:This sequel to "A Street Cat Named Bob" continues the story of James and Bob and how their lives continued to evolve. Bob seems like an amazing cat and I'm so glad that he and James found each other. James' willingness to share some of his trying times and recovery is amazing. What could be depressing is anything but. Read more

Review:I recommend the "Bob" series to everyone. This is a very uplifting series and this Christmas story just adds more depth to a rich story. Merry Christmas James and Bob And Merry Christmas everyone to borrow and old line. Read more

Review:The death rituals of another culture can be mysterious, odd, or downright strange to us but that doesn't mean they aren't beautiful or moving. We are all bound by death and grief - it is interesting to see how many different ways love, remembrance, and memorial can be expressed. Read more

Review:I always wondered why someone might be interested in becoming a medical examiner. After reading Working Stiff, I can better understand why that field might be a medical endeavor that has its own set of professional satisfactions and rewards. So many of Dr. Melinek's stories were heart rending, some were quite amusing and others were emotionally exhausting. Until reading this book, I had never realized how overwhelmed physically and emotionally the entire medical community was in the aftermath ... Read more

Review:Interesting story, based in history. But, the ending was quite quick and might have gone for a further chapter to demonstrate how Dr. Mutter and his collection has currently impacted those in the field of medicine. Read more

Review:Liked the last portion about his observations in the South during desegregation, and how he presented various viewpoints from different characters perspectives objectively. Gave a nuanced understanding of the feelings about race from the human experience vs the moral and political. Read more

Review:Disappointing. Huston has had many amazing experiences, but unfortunately they are told in the most superficial way. No meaning or insights are offered, even about the most profound experiences. Instead, we are given details about exactly what she wore, and when, and what other people were wearing, and how various auditions went, and what some famous director said to her, etc. A very shallow autobiography.

Review:Biographies cum Literary Criticism books can sometimes be dry but Begley's "Updike" reads like something from the New York Times bestselling fiction list. `Updike" is like Madmen on steroids. It briefly covers Updike's childhood in a small Pennsylvania town and then quickly moves into his Harvard years in the `50's and on to his work at the New Yorker Magazine and his best selling, award winning, (including two Pulitzer's) novel writing career. I've never been an Updike fan though his literar... Read more

Review:Those who pick up “Chasing Hillary,” written by a New York Times reporter who covered both her 2008 and 2016 campaigns, expecting a love fest will surely be disappointed. Amy Chozick is more adversary than fan; the book, unlike so many campaign biographies, is not at all ponderous. That’s perhaps because, to paraphrase Trollope, she does not dwell over the the story at great length, as she might do if she loved her (“The Eustace Diamonds”).

The book’s title is apt. Chozick chased Hillary,... Read more

Review:Great, well told story that few know about.... and but disturbing on several levels.

The book was referred to me by a retired Air Force pilot. Once I started reading it, I read it in just a couple days.

Highly recommend it to those with an interest in WW II and the brutality of war... any war. Read more
