Review:How do people endure a sudden tragedy like the one the Hance family suffered? This book gives a very personal account of the aftermath this had on the individuals and on their marriage. You feel so many emotions reading this book. I also learned a little about how one can be of support just by being there. Friends, neighbors, and family rallied around and kept them going when they felt completely hopeless. It took courage to write the book and reveal so many emotions. It is also impressive that...

Review:This book is amazing. Clever angles and ways of discussing the game resonate thanks to Shea’s natural and conversational writing style. The artwork brings his crazy thoughts and ideas to life and give the book a distinct and memorable character. Five stars. Read more

Review:Very interesting to hear her upbringing and while she doesn't ever bash her parents, you can read between the lines and figure out that she wanted their time and attention more than anything. Money couldn't buy those. Emily grew up while raising her daughter and it seems her mom also grew up and matured alongside Emily as well. It was interesting to read how she met Ricky and how she fell head over heels in love with him. One could sense that he was her constant, her steady hand -- she could... Read more

Review:This book explores Lawrence's life in more detail and at greater length than other biographies and accords him the role he earned while doing so against modern developments.

A must for serious Lawrence junkies. Read more

Review:Seven Pillars of Wisdom is fascinating from cover to cover. The book is on some levels Lawrence's study of himself as much as a history of the battles in which he was involved. He writes, "Any protestation of the truth from me was called modesty, self-depreciation. It always irritated me, this silly confusion of shyness, which was conduct, with modesty, which was a point of view... I was not modest, but ashamed of my awkwardness, of my physical envelope, of my solitary unlikeness which made me n... Read more

Review:Most interesting story; actual history; detailed life of the Arabs at war, the manner of their living in the desert & in the oases & a look at how the British officers looked at the war scene & played a part in it. A look into how war was fought 100 years ago. The inclusion of the maps of the various regions where the battles were being fought is very interesting & most important. The story or review is told in a beautiful, easy to read prose & is really, a delight to read. Read more

Review:After having read Hemingway's A Moveable Feast, I wanted to learn more about his first wife, Hadley. This book is very informative about her and her marriage to Ernest. The book is slow and because the author did such a thorough job of researching Hadley, it often repeats itself, from different sources. All in all, I am glad I read the book, but again it was not an easy read and I had to put it down many times before continuing.Read more

Review:I really liked this book, it was good reading, no boring parts. My only thought was after 20 years and there was still that "spark". It made it almost unbelievable, almost fairy tale. I may suggest it to my book club, thats where I got the name and author, in Good Housekeeping magazine a book club had read and discussed this book and I had to read it! Read more
