Review:Absolutely an amazing book! And im not a reader. I couldn't put it down! Naturally the movie and the book arent identical but..... I think between the two and hopefully the shockumentary im waiting to arrive I can put it all together with other details. Im so intrigued and James St James has a very unique writing style and way with words. I LOVE it! <Lynn Mcleod> Read more
Review:I had read and enjoyed Adriana Trigiani's Big Stone Gap novels (Big Stone Gap,Big Cherry Holler,Milk Glass Moon, and Home to Big Stone Gap) when they were first released a whi... Read more
Review:This book made me realize that one man that loved his freedom could turn the tide for saving not only New Orleans, but the whole country,What a great injustice to his legacy it would be to take his statue down, Every person for that should read this book first and the nuns need to pray it will not be allowed,praise be to God that He put the right man in place for such a time as this.

Review:The honest and frank style makes for a wild ride. What young boy wouldn't trade their pedestrian life to ride into manhood with this adventure? This is glimpse into the desperate times at the end of the plains struggle as the hide men and their guns forced horse culture of the plains to the reservation, broken, starving, but defiant.

Review:More valuable than other collections of diet recipes or methods, Penn gives you the insights to navigate past peer pressure and our own preconceived notions of status-quo diet and nutrition to make substantial, effective weight loss that (like Penn) has staying power. Read more
Review:An objective look at the worlds greatest athlete. Insight into a tragic story of a gifted but flawed human, designed by his father to perform. A compelling but sad story to be read by fans and critics. Read more
Review:If you have loved the stories of James Herriot you will love this book. It is written by his son, Jim Wight. As I learned, Herriot was a pen name. Mr. Wight writes with almost the same beautiful style that his father used. It's a very easy, enjoyable read. Read more
Review:Terrific little book of stories about cats and if you have ever owned such feline creatures who own you - you don't own them, you will recognise the common traits of all cats in these little stories.
Highly recommended, especially for the elderly who adore cats and will bring back memories of the characters their cats were. Read more
Review:Sorry Mr. Burroughs, but when you started describing your memories as a toddler, I knew I'd made a mistake in purchasing this book. I found it to be shallow and contrived and I hate to say this, but I almost felt sorry for your father. What a whiney, dull memoir, that certainly doesn't live up to the hype. Read more
Review:This book was a roller-coaster start to finish and I mostly enjoyed it. If half of what he says is true, it's a sad retelling of a disastrous life, from an off-and-on (mostly on) drug addict (and who claimed to be clean when he wrote this). This is a sharp, poignant, emotional retelling of the crazed antics of somebody hooked on multiple illegal drugs including meth, heroin, alcohol and the crazy lifestyle that almost inevitable accompanies the life of a drug fiend.
Some of the stuff in ... Read more
