Review:A stream of rambling nonsense that has nothing to teach about writing or anything else.
If you start reading it and tell yourself that " it must get better if I just read a little further", you will be disappointed.
On the bright side - the existence of this book proves that anyone can become a published author - anyone Read more

Review:I originally read this book, in the tree flesh about 9 years ago and recently purchased this audio book in search of something nostalgic, familiar that soothe my ire to an from work on the 110 Freeway. The recording itself is not bad, the speaker's voice is what you would want to hear nature narrations told in. Although when going through a mid-youth crisis as I am, I found myself having to skip back tracks often, attempting to find the greater meaning that Dillard has so expertly woven in betw...

Review:Very interesting to hear her upbringing and while she doesn't ever bash her parents, you can read between the lines and figure out that she wanted their time and attention more than anything. Money couldn't buy those. Emily grew up while raising her daughter and it seems her mom also grew up and matured alongside Emily as well. It was interesting to read how she met Ricky and how she fell head over heels in love with him. One could sense that he was her constant, her steady hand -- she could... Read more

Review:After having read Hemingway's A Moveable Feast, I wanted to learn more about his first wife, Hadley. This book is very informative about her and her marriage to Ernest. The book is slow and because the author did such a thorough job of researching Hadley, it often repeats itself, from different sources. All in all, I am glad I read the book, but again it was not an easy read and I had to put it down many times before continuing.Read more

Review:The book sort of follows three narratives.
- Nile Rodgers' childhood, his family and his early career from the early 70s through to Chic and disco.
- Partying, nightclubbing and the hedonism in the 80s
- Drug and alcohol addiction and recovery.

The early years and the early career were the best and most fascinating chapters. Many fans of 60s and 70s music tend to fixate on the stereotypical images of late 60’s hippies and 70’s blacksploitation films. In this book, Rodger’s goes i... Read more

Review:Reading Ozzy's autobiography is like hanging out at his house and listening to him talk. It's funny, crazy, and at times a little shocking - which is exactly what you'd expect Ozzy's life to be. He tells it like it is; no secrets and no flowery language. Whatever you might think of the man, you certainly can't say that his book is dull. And the photos included are great! Read more

Review:Arrived on time and in great condition. I'm halfway thru the book now and as an avid Eddie Izzard fan I am delighted and pleased as punch with it thus far. It's sentimental and sweet and funny and touching. Highly enjoyable! Read more

Review:I really wanted to love this book, because I love Inside Amy Schumer. There were some really good chapters, but also some that I had to skip because they just weren't interesting or funny, in my opinion. I'm not interested in reading about the drawn-out argument Jessi had with her fiance on the trip when they were supposed to get engaged. I was also bored with the "shopping for a wedding dress" chapter, and referring to women as either wolves or poodles just felt petty/vain. The chapter about tr... Read more

Review:This book delivers!! Sarah Colonna is one funny a** person and a good story teller. I knew I would love it as much as the first one but I think it's even better. The stories are hilarious and VERY relatable, I loved reading about her mom and fiance Jon Ryan. Those chapters were very sweet. The cherry on top is that this book is very affordable!! Thanks Sarah :) Read more

Review:"On my forty-ninth birthday, I decided that all of life was hopeless, and I would eat myself to death." So begins PLAN B: Further Thoughts on Faith, a collection of delightfully honest and gritty essays from Salon.com columnist Anne Lamott.

Lamott, like the best essayists, finds most of her inspiration in the ordinary stuff of living: the exhaustion of parenting, the frustration over a middle-aged body, and despair over the state of the world. In OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, Lamott gave us a w... Read more
