Review:The BrandenburgStudies ebook edition is obviously not edited for Kindle. The line breaks after a few letters, often in the middle of words. Too expensive for such poor quality, no wonder there was no sample. Read more

Review:My son read this book for 7th grade assignment. The book deals with slavery, rape, and abuse which were disturbing and not age appropriate for 7th grade. I would wait to read this book until high school at least. Book was well written, but disturbing for younger readers. Read more

Review:Enjoyed this very much,partly because I am a quilter,but more than that.I was intrigued by the story line, the ending was a bit surprising
Would have ended it differently,however it did not detract from the story. Read more

Review:Set during the late 19th century, alternating between London and New York, a mysterious double homicide has set tongues wagging in the elite society. When Bayard Van Duyvil’s body was found stabbed along the river and his beautiful wife’s body apparently presumed dead and lost in the river alongside their home it seems like a closed case of jealousy gone wrong. But Janie found this explanation too pat and convenient and definitely very unlikely behaviour for her brother and sister in law. So ... Read more

Review:I got used to the lack of quotation marks.... but why all the unnecessary commas and sentence fragments? Were they on purpose or doesn't she know how to punctuate? If is she doesn't, why didn't the editors correct it all? I was hoping after reading all these reviews that there was probably some hidden meaning that I didn't get..,.. evidently not. Strange book.

Review:Natalie Fergie has written a book that uses one sewing machine as the unifying element throughout her story. I'm often disheartened about the difficult life women had 100 years ago and that certainly comes through in this novel. However, the women in her novel typify resilience despite the conditions, both moral and physical, that they endure. Read more

Review:The author kept the story moving. The descriptions of the time, the people and their attitudes put you back to the post-Civil War era. I'm not good at describing plots and such. All I can say is this is a well-written book that was difficult to put down. Read more

Review:I remember when I was a kid absolutely loving this book! As a child, I loved the heroic tale of Balto and enjoyed the detailed pictures. Now, almost 20 years later as an artist, I still enjoy the illustrations and simple plot. Great for kids! Read more

Review:It is also interesting from an adult perspective because Mark Kelly explains the background of his idea for the book and relates it to his own experence. Also the book has interesting facts about NASA and the space program. Read more

Review:This came highly recommended by an English teacher friend of mine. Though it is a large book, much of it is taken up with an inventive use of illustration and historical photography. It is a treasure and I have purchased several copies as gifts for friends with children. Read more
