Review:I love Morrissey...it is written how he speaks . Kind of neat that as you are reading you can hear him speaking. He does drone on a bit here and there and his non meat eating stance gets a bit obnoxious but whatever...it is a well written and interesting book Read more
Review:For Beatles fans, Doggett's book follows the Fab Four from their break up in 1969 to the present day. The book was most interesting covering the years immediaetly after the break-up - alot of deals on the financial mess but necessary to understand why the split became permanent. Where I had problems with the book is the relentlessly negative attitude towards the four individuals during the second half of the book - none of them seemed to do anything worthwhile. Also, Doggett goes back and for... Read more
Review:Overall it was worth reading. Even though the book is 16 years since publishing, it still addresses many issues that our USA culture is dealing with today. However, this book blames greed fanned by capitalism for much of our culture's problems. It's time to go deeper than blaming greed. There are other compulsions, like gluttony, that feed selfishness. But we need to know the personal causes of greed and gluttony. I have found these answers in studying the personality studies of the Enneag... Read more
Review:I love Supernatural, the show is a staple for us. It's an awesome, very inclusive and caring fandom! This coloring book is fun to flip through and see all the pictures, it's fun to color things as you think they could be in maybe another dimension lol
HOWEVER - My biggest gripe - How is Chuck not in this coloring book!? :-( Adding God would definitely have made this 5 stars :-) Read more
Review:An insightful story of a fascinating building! I actually worked with someone who grew up in the Dakota, so I was interested to gain a more detailed knowledge of the stories I'd heard. A fascinating subculture long before John Lenon lived there. Read more
Review:This started off as a typical douchey rockstar goes in hiding, meet and fall for the small town girl.....but it turned out to be so much more. It's been a long time since I have read something so SWEET and SPICY at the same time.
I loved Shawn and Dakota together especially when they weren't hiding secrets or having misunderstandings. But I guess that was part of the fun. Shawn was very egotistical but he had such a sweet and family oriented side that just made me want to sigh and give hi... Read more
Review:Patton Oswald's Zombie Spaceship Wasteland is a jumble of moments remembered and twisted fantasies conceived, assembled into a hallucinatory narrative that tells many stories, but mostly paints a picture of the inner world of one of our generation's best comedians.
Oswald's constant pursuit to improve, to never settle for having a "thing", a comedic gimmick, is shown in the process of book. Much like Stephen King's On Writing, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland is a portrait. It leaves you knowing mo... Read more
Review:I don't think anyone but an intelligent lesbian could have lived and objectively observed life as a man.
A man would not be the necessary outsider.
A heterosexual woman would not be able to be the necessary outsider who can critique how women pander to and enable men to be men. She would be too self-invested. Well, maybe a merciless, comedian-type could have. Read more
Review:I am often disappointed in tattoo books with little story and the same old coverage of the history of tattooing. I've also regretted purchases of books by high-profile folks with something to sell. This is neither of the above. This book is entertaining, visually stimulating, inspiring and packed full. I'm really thrilled with this book. Congrats Kat. It's a winner. Read more
Review:Hard to put this book down. Great read for anyone in the industry or contemplating it. Really loved the fact that the author was so truthful regarding his own experiences; in this, the book is truly motivational. Very well written and easy to understand. Read more
