books about: attempted     books:       Bitter Harvest173 reviews Ann Rule Pocket, 1999 Spellbinding Tale of a Mother's Madness and Jealousy, a fall from grace. I have to say that I was more interested in this book than usual because it happened here where I live. So I was familiar with some of the details involved that lead up to the tragedy that builds throughout the book. To be sure, there are multiple victims in the book. The first victim appears to be Deborah Greene's own husband, Dr. Mike Farrar who by all accounts had a glimpse of what hell ...             Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Legacy111 reviews Eric Van Lustbader St. Martin's Press, 2004 OK BOOK WAS GOOD , BUT I WAS NOT USE TO SEEING BOURNE GET BEAT UP THROUGHOUT THE BOOK .

We passed through a dusty, overgrown lot where an old man had been living in his trailer. We saw him working around his car, with a tube that he'd taped to his exhaust pipe. He looked up, smiled and waved. When my bro and I were done with our swim, we walked home the same way we'd came. We ...             The Broker572 reviews John Grisham Doubleday, 2005 low-key suspense Joel Backman is "the Broker"--a Washington power broker-lobbyist.

Bush Administration, disguised as a crime novel. However, its overall effect is that of theater of the absurd and creates a good foundation for a graphic novel or Monty Python film. The author portrays Intelligent Design supporters as Nazi child-molesting brainwashers, thieves, and assassins intending to eliminate all Jews. By "believers," ...             The Mosaic of Shadows (A Byzantine Mystery)10 reviews Tom Harper St. Martin's Minotaur, 2005 Enjoyable story by young author After the disaster at Manzikert, the great Byzantine Empire calls for help from the 'barbarian' west.

There are certain artefacts that draw one in life - there are certain records/albums/cd's one might feel - without which a collection is incomplete. As with books, a dictionary, Shakespeare, Roget's Thesaurus and Trevanian's books are on my shelf. I only wish RW and I could have met. If perchance you read this -or know the author- tell him Thank You.[Have an Islay Malt on me!] A wonderful ...             The President's Assassin65 reviews Brian Haig Grand Central Publishing, 2005 Get it!

I just finished reading the book about 10 minutes ago! What a great sequel to "Night With Moon"... it carries forward some of the unresolved feelings and events from the first book, and leaves you feeling a bit easier about them. I do disagree with some of the other reviews that found this book too drawn-out or some of the plot points contrived. The book built up slowly but steadily, not with ...             Why Suicide?: Answers to 200 of the Most Frequently Asked Questions about Suicide, Attempted S4 reviews Eric Marcus HarperOne, 1996 Excellent book on a sensitive subject I don't do much reading in psychology these days, although many years ago I completed a Master's and most of the coursework for the Ph.D. in psychology at the University of Calfornia. I ultimately decided not to pursue a career in it, so never finished the Ph.D., but at one time had an excellent background in the subject. Anyway, I happened to see this book in the psychology section of a local ...             Day of the Jackal: 2124 reviews Frederick Forsyth Viking Adult, 1971 Archetypical page-turner This is a very entertaining book, enjoyable for anyone interested in modern Western politics and "espionage," without the need for precise historical accuracy. Forsyth's novel is pure fiction with a heavy dose of generally accurate non-fiction context. The setting is the unsettled political climate of 1963 France under De Gaulle. For a Western democracy, France was (and had long been) a ...             The Machiavelli Covenant43 reviews Allan Folsom Forge Books, 2006 Entertaining from begining to end. "The Machiavelli Covenant" was entertaining to say the least. It didn't waste any time drawing the reader in, which is something not enough books seem to do. Although the story was far fetched, it was action packed, and detailed vividly. Some of the narrating was repetitive, but I did appreciate the chronological structure Folsom created. It's certainly one of those books that will keep you up ...             Eight Stories Up: An Adolescent Chooses Hope over Suicide (Adolescent Mental Health Initiative)3 reviews DeQuincy Lezine, David Brent Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 A book to save young lives...
