The Long Walk: The True Story Of A Trek To Freedom
The Long Walk: The True Story Of A Trek To Freedom

Review:I thought the book was inspirational but in no way is this non- fiction. I was very disappointed that it is sold as a true story. I am not an expert but common sense tells me that no one could accomplish this the way it was presented. This is only my opinion and does not detract from the way it was written. I enjoyed reading it. Read more

A Story of War and the Life That Follows - The Long Walk
A Story of War and the Life That Follows - The Long Walk

Review:Just finished the book, and it definitely falls into the category of books that I wish I hadn't spent the time reading. It's kind of a muddled mess, and has no coherent narrative. Not one of the better books coming out of the current wars. Read more

The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela (Mti) - By Nelson Mandela Long Walk to Freedom
The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela (Mti) - By Nelson Mandela Long Walk to Freedom

Review:The writing is very concise and easy to follow. There are a lot of facts and names but it only adds to the reading and does not hinder the progress. This is really a story about love and hardship to win a goal that all should be able to enjoy. It is enlightening and terrifying at the same time. Read more

Sully: My Search for What Really Matters
Sully: My Search for What Really Matters

Review:While I admire Sully tremendously, the book is just too long. It could have been half the length, it is very repetitive. I enjoyed reading about his career and of course it was great to read first hand about the water landing...that was spectacular. Read more

Tiger Tracks - The Classic Panzer Memoir
Tiger Tracks - The Classic Panzer Memoir

Review:The author provides a vivid and sometimes graphic first person description of the battles in which he participated. His narrative immerses the reader in not only the facts, but the sights, sounds and smells of battle to provide a very visceral account of the action. Read more

Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention
Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention

Review:This book is amazing. If you have never read anything regarding Malcolm X besides school propaganda you will be shocked by what this book reveals. X was a powerful, intellectual, self aware leader that was able to realize when he was wrong and when he was right. I highly recommend you check out this well written piece of art. Read more

Seven Men: And the Secret of Their Greatness
Seven Men: And the Secret of Their Greatness

Review:We bought the Kindle version of this incredible book of men who have became both heroes and role models through the way they lived portions of their lives. Since it was on Kindle, we listened to this gem on a short family vacation. It gave us great conversation topics, and no one said, "Are we there yet?" Read more

Seven Women: And the Secret of Their Greatness
Seven Women: And the Secret of Their Greatness

Review:really enjoyable, information about women either I hadn't heard of or additional information about those I had heard of. Great book, and strange the as I am reading it, I have run into discussions about the women from other unrelated sources, so an opportunity to discuss the details further Read more

God or Nothing: A Conversation on Faith

Review:Awesome book! Great story of a holy, wonderful man who gives us his insights on life, love, faith and a host of other topical issues. What a great read and what a great gift. Read this book. It will help you on your journey to eternal life. My wife will read it after I finish it. Then I'll give it to my pastor. Read this book! You won't be disappointed. You will only benefit. Read more

A Snarky but Authentic Spiritual Memoir - Angry Conversations with God
A Snarky but Authentic Spiritual Memoir - Angry Conversations with God

Review:Not counting school assignments, this may be my first* official book review:
It's good.

Maybe that's too vague, so let me elaborate:

It's really good.

Still too short?

It's really, really good.

I suppose I could quote the front cover and say:

It's "A Snarky But Authentic Spiritual Memoir".

I heard Susan Isaacs speak at the Polk Theater in Lakeland on July 1, 2011. I enjoyed her humor and talk so much, that I bought her book. I also got her auto... Read more
