Review:THE HEART OF A WOMAN continues Angelou's autobiographical series that begins with I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS and continues with GATHER TOGETHER IN MY NAME and SINGIN' & SWINGIN' & GETTIN' MERRY LIKE CHRISTMAS. It is the fourth "installment" in this series, and, while it is an interesting recounting of Angelou's life into the decade of the 1960's, it will be more instructive for the reader who has followed the series of books in their chronological order.

Review:It is hard to believe that a person could be so easily duped by a. Charming man but the sociopathic person is quite a piece of work! After working in the Psychiatric field, I have a suspicion of most everyone
Ever woman should read about the sociopathic personality before ever dating. And every male should read about the Borderline personality disorder. Read more

Review:I enjoyed this so much, because, she writes with words that I would use every day. When, she describes the time spent with her mother, it makes me cry; because, I really understand! I think most daughters have a love/hate relationship with Mom. Read more

Review:Maya Angelou is a literary Amazon. She is insightful, wise and fundamentally generous in her perspective. She pulls no punches about what it was like growing up Black, for herself and her brother, Bailey. These are books that every white American should read, to help understand what it means to be Black in the United States. Read more

Review:This profound Carl Sagan book does not include the wonderful color illustrations as the earlier version contains. Consequently, it is like a National Graphic Magazine without the pictures.

I love the words of Dr. Sagan, but words plus the spectacular pictures truly make "music."

Following is the edition you should get. I threw away the "Pale Blue Dot" paperback I received yesterday and today ordered a used hardback:

Review:After reading both of Dave Pelzer's books, I wanted to read his brother's. I wanted to see the other side of Dave's abuse. I was, instead, faced with yet another story of abuse by the same mother. While Richard didn't seem to face nearly the torture Dave faced, he claims to have taken his brother's place when the state finally placed his brother in foster care. Read more

Review:The first time I read this book, I cried several times. This is a powerful, true story about one of the worst cases of child abuse. Many of the child-abuse laws in place today came about from Dave Pelzer's case. Just as remarkable as the horrendous abuse is the author's life as an adult. I was inspired by Dave's ability to forgive his parents and live a normal, healthy life. I have seen him on "Oprah" and he is confident, funny, and well-adjusted. It is amazing that someone could live through su... Read more

Review:I read this book because the Goldman's owned the book and OJ did not profit from it. Although the book was not well written, it gave a look into the mind of someone that murdered two people. The book revealed him to be self absorbed and a true narcissist that cared only about himself. Read more

Review:I had no idea what to expect with this book - I got it as I was tired of reading fiction. Really interesting. It put a lot into perspective about the safety protocols at hospitals that have been put in place in just the last decade. Read more
