Review:Acerbic! Written by Joy Behar and published by HarperCollins – New York in 2017, this book is a humorous satire on President Donald J. Trump and his political party, the GOP. Readers who might be offended by four-letter profanity should be warned that this book contains a fair amount of it. Behar is a stand-up comedian and co-host of the TV show The View.

Review:Like french movies, this book was not about happy endings and a happy storyline. It was a sad, raw, human book. As much as I was disgusted by the actions of the some of the characters, I still enjoyed every minute of reading this book because the storyline is interesting and has a great flow. Read more

Review:First, the good. These are interesting topics. It's good to be reminded of how much has changed in the last couple of decades. This is a fun read with some interesting stories.

Review:Vladimir Putin is certainly a dictator and has slowly consolidated his power in Russia. The book is timely as we are investigating the Russian connection in the last election.Much admiration for Mr. Kasparov and his working for democracy in Russia. I do not completely agree with him that we should go to war over Russia's interference in many countries: eg Crimea, Georgia, Macedonia, France etc. Very interesting read. Read more

Review:This book is extremely well written and pulls together a lot of information from various sources. It also has a number of proprietary insights that made it a great read even for someone like me that followed these events very closely as they unfolded.

Review:Overall, the memoir was written well and the story told was compelling and ,certainly, interesting. Living here in the US one may never know what it's like to live in the middle of a war and having to constantly be on the run for your life, meager sustenance, clothing. My respect and admiration for sister Leymah to have persevered and survived such a traumatic ordeal is unwavering. However, I feel as though the reviews were a bit over the top as it relates to the story content. Perhaps, I am... Read more

Review:This is perhaps the most succinct and simple summary of the rise of the federal bureaucracy that I have ever read. And, it's constantly rising costs and debt. From 3% of income to over 50% in the last sixty year's-ouch!, but how do we ever balance this nation's checkbook? Read more
