In Harm's Way (Walt Fleming)
In Harm's Way (Walt Fleming)

Review:This is a thrilling and educational work. I recommend it to anyone interested in WWII history and the determination of the Naval personnel who doggedly fought against all odds to overcome the elements of nature and the unfortunate bureaucracy of far-flung base commands. Read more

Harley Quinn Vol. 1: Hot in the City (The New 52)
Harley Quinn Vol. 1: Hot in the City (The New 52)

Review:Harley is now apparently the DC female Deadpool... and I'm perfectly okay with that.
The art is solid. I'm a bit disappointed that Amanda Conner only did the covers, but the regular artist are good and of course the writing hilarious. Read more

Lessons from Extraordinary Lives - The Best Advice I Ever Got
Lessons from Extraordinary Lives - The Best Advice I Ever Got

Review:I absolutely love it! I'd recommend it to anyone, especially to students who are graduating and about to enter the work force, so that they don't think life is so easy or if they make one mistake their lives are over.

It's good to know about successful people's lives and what they did to get where they are now and through this book, we have the opportunity to be up close and personal with them.

I hope she writes another one with another group of successful people. I also appreciate... Read more

Lazy Slob Who Did Good - Tough Sh-t - Life Advice from a Fat

Review:Regardless of whether you care for Kevin Smith's movies, smodcasts, or anything attached to him throughout his 20+ year career - this book was a page turner. He has a fascinating story to tell, some of which is hilarious, others heartbreaking. I have seen every Q&A this man has released since "An Evening With Kevin Smith" and I still put the book down feeling like I was hearing new stories, being told new jokes, and continue to be amazed with Kevin as not only a director, entertainer and b...

You Don't Look Your Age...and Other Fairy Tales
You Don't Look Your Age...and Other Fairy Tales

Review:After seeing her name on every HBO Documentary Film, I was so hoping to be inspired by her (supposed) wisdom, to learn from her rise to the top, and enjoy the laughs that it promises. Instead, the author exhibits a Yale degree does not a classy lady make. Perhaps she mistakes vulgar values for humor. It is so not funny at all. An irresponsible waste of an opportunity to empower her readers. I’m stunned that this highly regarded story teller could write such an unintelligent book. Read more

And Other Conversations with Your Favorite Literary Characters
And Other Conversations with Your Favorite Literary Characters

Review:Texts from Jane Eyre is a chuckle-inducing collection of imaginary conversations between both fictional characters, and authors (to their fictional friends). As literary humor goes, it's on the nose, poking fun at everything from Hamlet's sullenness to Poe's crush on his cousin. It's not crass, but it also spares no prisoners. Some I found more funny than others, but overall this was great for a laugh. I recommend it for English majors the world over (as well as Lit professors/teachers, libraria... Read more

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

Review:This book contains all the lessons we need to know to lead a successful life. It is a reminder that we learned long ago the lessons we need in Kindergarten to be successful at whatever endeavor we choose. I recently used those lessons with my high school graduating seniors. It is worth repeating because I feel we have forgotten the lessons. Arthur L. Williams Ph.D. Principal Ann Arbor Huron High School. Read more

Making a Good Script Great, 3rd Ed.

Review:I found this book extremely helpful with my writing, as well as Linda Seger's other books. Her suggestions and ideas hit home again and again and my writing improved because of it. Since reading Linda Seger's books, I have had several scripts optioned, for both movies and television. Read more

The Satanic Verses: A Novel
The Satanic Verses: A Novel

Review:After all of the publicity surrounding this novel, I found the content disappointingly non-stimulating. The character descriptions were good, but strange, and the plot was difficult and frustrating to follow. I would not read this book a second time. Read more
