Review:Wonderful! Beautiful! Gorgeous! A must have for anyone teaching about 9/11. I read this to my 10th and 11th graders and most of them loved it (except the ones who think they’re too cool and too old to be read to, no such thing). I would recommend the hardcover. It’s worth the investment. I couldn’t justify it though bc I have the hc packed away in a tote box somewhere in my garage. Read more
Review:I am enjoying this book. It's more about encounters with people. If looking for a mixing tutorial this is not it, but if you are interested in the career steps of Glyn Johns and who he worked with its worth reading. Read more
Review:Outstanding background and history of a true music legend. Being a fan, I thought I know everything about Charlie Daniels. As the book proved, I was wrong. Charlie provides insight on his early days of music in the 50's and 60's. It is hard to believe a musician that cannot read tables or music sheets can be a sought after session musician. Charlie plays from the heart with a vast knowledge of his instruments and whole lot of soul. Charlie is a family man that treats all of his long time employe... Read more
Review:Not eloquently written, but full of many details about Travis that most people wouldn't know. The in depth recollection of his past put on paper really brings it to life for the reader. Much more respect for Travis as a drummer and a human being after reading this! Read more
Review:George's book is too self centered, it barely speaks of The Beatles, that are the one thing that made him. Another detail, that may be considered good or bad, is that he explains each and every song he made. It consumes half the book, but it's interesting. Read more
Review:This story is heartbreakingly beautiful. It is told in the most honest and open manner. Rory opens his heart and soul to us glossing over nothing. One can not read this story and not feel his pain and share in their triumph and their tragedy. Joey + Rory's story is not finished, this is only the end of the beginning. Their faith in God and their love and commitment to one and other is moving and truly inspirational. This is not lighthearted reading but it will touch your heart and possibly chan... Read more
Review:This book surprised me by the depth of information it provided into a L.A. Gangster's life. I found myself switching back and forth from calling him a idiot punk to being very proud of some of the better decisions that he made. God must have been on this man's side for him to have come out of his youthful actions without having done hard prison time or dying. Thank God for the angels watching over ICE-T - I never knew a thing about him and really didn't like rap at all but now I think I get so... Read more
Review:Easy read and candid point of view from Sammy... I am a huge fan of the guy already and reading this book sold me on the person he is and I like him that much more. Thanks for sharing your story...wish I could have bumped into you in Maui this last January...can't wait to go back and our next goal is to get to a Cabo birthday bash! Read more
Review:This is a very well researched and written book; although I disagree with the statement that Mary Magdeline was a prostitute before her discipleship. Nowhere in the testaments is this found or even inferred. Otherwise, this historical "fiction" provides the reader with information about Jesus, and life in the first century, with assumed accuracy. I say "assumed", because there is no absolute verification of the witnesses stories. I am, as is Mr. O'Reilly, a devout Catholic, and my faith is bas... Read more
Review:I enjoyed this book tremendously. Cherie Currie tells her story honestly. I felt like I was walking through it with her, pulling for her every step of the way! A real page turner with an inspiring ending. I loved it. Read more
