Review:'Citizens' is written in a narrative style that gives life to a fascinating period in human history. The detailed descriptions of contemporary issues in art, literature and politics is a new feature in a description of the French Revolution.
In what is a novel approach to the history of the Revolution, Simon Schama devotes almost half of his work to a description of the Ancien Regime, including a very vivid glimpse into the lives of the Peers of the kingdom. By doing this his desciption... Read more

Review:This book is tedious at times, and sometimes the author contradicts himself. If I wasn't the type of person that has to finish a book once started, I would have dropped this book after a few chapters. In the end though, I am glad to have read it and gleaned a bit of history from it. Read more

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

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

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

Review:Exceeded my expectations, and was a thoroughly enlightening read. That being said, the book should come with a disclaimer warning readers that your deadlift will increase, women will start throwing themselves at you, and you will feel an acute urge to forego clothes entirely...

Should NOT be read at wine bar with gf. Read more

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

Review:Excitedly I enter these words to stress the overwhelming gnosis that poors through the veil of the onlooker as one treads down the road to new and different thesis. It is stunning to note that what seems to appear so real to some can so easily be changed by the appearance of another perspective. Jesus being married and having a bloodline no way defies any real traditional belief of what is so-called Christianity, However so many are so very misled in that what they believe the Bible is teach...
