Death and Brain Surgery - Do No Harm - Stories of Life
Death and Brain Surgery - Do No Harm - Stories of Life

Review:Enjoyed reading from the perspective of a neurosurgeon since I am a nurse but probably not for everyone. He also shows a side of government run health care that Americans think they would like but I truly doubt that after reading this book. Read more

The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades  Before Roe v. Wade
The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades Before Roe v. Wade

Review:these stories and this perspective were totally new to me and this book presented them in a totally candid way that really enables the reader to identify with the girls in every step of their journey, from pre-pregnancy romance to seeking out the children they couldn't forget years and even decades later after they had formed other families.

War As I Knew It
War As I Knew It

Review:The war/anti-war movie Patton some years ago gave us a storehouse of anecdotes and images about this larger-than-life character. Some of the conventional biographies about Patton get lost in the many contradictions between his various public and private personae. War as I Knew It, though falling in the time-hallowed military genre of "leaving one's own record", presents a fascinating set of contradictions as poignant as any cinematic fantasy about Patton. The work is quite short, and

Lessons from Wall Street's Champion Day Trader - Pit Bull
Lessons from Wall Street's Champion Day Trader - Pit Bull

Review:Having been a broker for several years and having read countless publications on the subject, I had become somewhat blasé about finance-related books. PIT BULL changed all that. From the moment I picked up the book, I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!! While the markets were haywire in early January '99, I was in my building's lobby reading chapter-after-chapter of prose which I could only liken to the swings of the market. Marty Schwartz is a story-teller divine! Read more

My Own Words
My Own Words

Review:This book is part biography and part writings by RBG. Both parts are interesting. RBG has a distinct, clear, very readable style and my respect for her after reading this is immense. She comes across as not only extremely intelligent but also as just the sort of person you'd love to sit and just talk with. Excellent role model for us all. Read more

The Fire Next Time (Twentieth Century Classics)
The Fire Next Time (Twentieth Century Classics)

Review:Mixture of anecdote and pointed critique, Baldwin exposes a reality that many ignore, and many others suffer every day. True now as ever, those who oppress will only be free when they release their victims of oppression. Read more

The History of My Insanity
The History of My Insanity

Review:I loved this book it shows her struggles throught her past and present i found it relatable as someone who has dealt with bullying, daddy issues, and abuse Trisha is not a perfect person and is brave enough to share her rough life and how she is now successful sure there is some grammer mistakes here and there but you really dont notice it because your too busy reading what happens next Read more

The Stripper Diaries
The Stripper Diaries

Review:this was definitely interesting. I'm a huge trisha fan and have been curious about her stripper days for awhile. I didn't like how if just abruptly ended though. I know it was just a diary but it ended so randomly. overall I suggest this. especially of you're a fan of hers Read more

Lessons between the Lines - The Story of Channon Rose
Lessons between the Lines - The Story of Channon Rose

Review:Exaggerated, Whiny, Irresponsible! I accidentally came across this born again porn star on YouTube and have found her anxiety driven bipolar hypochondriac personality annoying..but when I saw this book I though I better read it because everyone deserves a chance and maybe I just understood her wrong. Bad Choice!! This book just talks about her playing the victim and for a person who does really nothing in life but "drawing" and wearing a onsie it's unreal the complaints. If you want to read a st... Read more
