Review:Most people think of Lewis as just writing Narnia and a few christian books, but his life was very deep and interesting. My 10-yr son read this book over the summer and really enjoyed it. The reading level is about 14-yrs old. Read more

Review:A journalist in The Economist suggested that the Liberian civil war, unlike other wars, has left no literary legacy. Shoddy conclusion. Read Leymah Gbowee's "Might be our Powers" and then Heleen Cooper's "The House at Sugar Beach" to prove The Economist wrong. Both books are written by intelligent women from very different back-grounds but with a powerful tale to tell about the war in Liberia. I can recommend The House on Sugar Beach for those interested in Liberia - and for those not but who a... Read more

Review:This book really provides little to zero insight into what one would consider a pretty interesting life. Very little detail and just an annoying read for a fan craving behind the scenes info. I gave it 2 stars just because I feel sorry for McCarty. Read more

Review:Okay, putting this one down after the first page. The claim here is that the finger was pointed at Oswald 24 hours after the killing after LBJ and J. Edgar Hoover talked about it. I'm here to tell you I was 12 years old and confined to a hospital bed on 11/22/1963. There was a built in radio in the wall. Around 12 noon some woman popped her head in my room and said "They've killed the President!". I turned on the radio and never stopped listening to it until 10:30 that night. The name OSWALD was...

Review:The takeaway for me was how the Military-Industrial Complex conducted the war in Afghanistan exactly the opposite of what was taught to us at US Army Infantry School, Fort Benning, Georgia. We were always taught that the feet-of-clay of the Soviet style of military command and control was the refusal to delegate authority down to the lowest levels of command; down to where the tactical situation was clearest to the officers, non-coms and troops on the ground in the fray of battle. For multi-star... Read more

Review:Well written and informative. A must read for anyone who is interested in how the evil slavery trade was finally brought to light as the evil that is was. Wilberforce was a genius, a Christian, a man who used his position in government for good. Highly recommend! Read more

Review:I HAVE READ MANY BOOKS ABOUT SANDY KOUFAX AND THIS ANOTHER THAT IS PRETTY GOOD. THE AUTHOR JANE LEAVY, DOES A GREAT JOB FOLLOWING HIS CAREER AND EARLY LIFE, BUT I FELT THERE WASN'T ENOUGH MATERIAL ABOUT HIS LIFE AFTER HIS CAREER ENDED IN 1966. SAND KOUFAX IS THE GREATEST PICHER I HAVE SEEN. I ALWAYS TRIED TO SEE HIM ON TV ON SATURDAY GAME OF THE WEEK, ALL STAR GAME OR WORLD SERIES. WE HAD NO CABLE OR SATELITE TV THEN. LOOK AT HIS STATS, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT HE JUST DOMINATED ALMOST EVERY GAME H... Read more

Review:This is a good read. I was always rather curious about how Facebook started as most articles give a very superficial background of Mark Zuckerberg and how Facebook started in a dorm room. I think that the book tries to focus quite a lot of attention on how Mark Zuckerberg is a bit awkward, singularly focused, and has a tough time reading social signals from people in real life. At least, that's what the book tells us. The interesting thing is that perhaps we should take a lesson from this an... Read more

Review:Gooder. A unique on the ground "I was there" perspective. Never heard anything like this in any news reports either left or right. If you have an interest in how and why things happened in Iraq, this book is invaluable. In fact It is a "goodest". Read more

Review:Could not put it down. Went into much more detail on Lt. Manion which makes sense, since his father wrote most it. Nonetheless, an unbelievable story of what it means to be a great american, a great friend and great teammate. While most of us will never be called upon to do what these two heroes did, we can all strive to be as good a friend as they were to each other. Read more
