Review:Takes my breath away. The writing is brilliant - and yet appears to be simple. I think what I love about Abigail Thomas is even though she has been through hell, with her late husband's accident and then years in the hospital - and her youthful trauma's of love and early marriage with pain - she writes as if she were looking at her life a bit from the outside - and she draws me in and I truly feel as if I'm holding my breath all the way though this book. Her daughter's betrayal with Abigail'... Read more

Review:If you're expecting Blue Nights to be anywhere near the level of Magical Thinking - you'll be sorely disappointed with this book. I assumed, since the topic continued upon the same subject (of loss) that she had something substantial more to say. I reached the end of the book wondering what it was. Didion should have stopped while she was ahead. There were a few gems about parental regrets and difficulties of aging, but certainly not enough to fill a book. Though no one could say Didion has...

Review:Jenna Fischer’s phenomenal book ‘The Actor’s Life’ is factual, funny and a fantastic guide to the world of acting. This is one of those books that is informative, personable yet so enjoyable that you can’t stop reading. I am not an actor but I personally loved this book and it is one that works on so many levels.

The book starts out with Ms Fischer interest in acting and her school productions and then through her education which includes the many different facets of her experiences. S... Read more

Review:The term soulmate has been thrown around so loosely that it has lost most of it's meaning now a days. This book shows by example what a loveing careing and nurtureing realtionship is and what you sometimes go through to get there. If you think your in love now, read this book and look at yourself. Look at the person your in a relationship with. Look at the people around you. On the subway, in line at the movie theather. After a while and if you do find your soulmate (and nobody promises you ... Read more

Review:This book is awesome! I never knew about the beginning of her life. You can really sense the love she had for her family and most of all for Desi Arnaz. The way she talks about their first meeting and how much the were in love was really stunning. Most of the book is dedicated to how great and special he was. She even told the stories about his faults in a way that showed how much she really did care for him. It was touching when she talked about how she wanted to be such a great wife and onl...

Review:I always enjoy Patrick Swayze movies. He played so many different roles so well. I also enjoy the Hollywood legend stories too. The book combines many stories as well as life struggles that the couple went through. Well written so even I could follow it. definitely worth a read. Read more

Review:Strangely, after reading her autobiography, I find Maureen a bit unlikable. Hard to get over her dysfunctional relationship with John Ford and her sense of morality stemming from her "strong" Catholic faith. I get this feeling there is a lot more going on in the background than she was ever going to disclose. Read more

Review:I absolutely loved this book, I bought it almost 20years ago and bought another copy as I do not like sharing my books and this one my sons etc can borrow it. John's honesty is so very refreshing and I go back and re-read it. Some sad, very loving, tragic but most of all, the story of his life in his own eyes. I highly recommend this book. Read more

Review:Written in first person, Anthony shares his life story through colorful antidotes that will have you rolling from laughter and also pain. Drug addition is an ugly journey, and I have a greater appreciation for someone going through it. Anthony is a great writer, easy to read, I'm sad the book is over! Read more
