Great book!
Not much to really say. This is the final book of the Harry Potter series. If you have enjoyed the other books in the series you need this book to find out how it all ends.

Great book Fun read
I read this book today! It's the type of book that keep's you hanging on. It is worth reading. Weiss does not go into a lot of psychological explanation relating what happens with Catherine. The book is so well written that I read the whole thing in a day after putting it up for sale on Amazon. When I got a "sold ship now" notice, I decided to glance it over and got hooked. I don't even recall ...

Hell Smells Like Poop
Fun for kids and adults alike, "23 Minutes in Hell" is populated with adorable characters and silly descriptions of a magical place author Bill Wiese calls "Hell." You'll fall in love with the silly monsters and goofy creatures as well as marvel that the way Wiese squeezes comedy out of any situation. A COMEDY CLASSIC! PS - There's no shame in mentioning both 9/11 and the Holocaust to make ...

Why did it have to end? Great book!
Having read "The Pillars of the Earth" earlier this year, I didn't wait long to pick up this volume. The first three hundred pages were very reminiscent of the first book, but then it came into its own. Contrary to the few reviewers on this site who panned the book as dull and its characters as poorly developed, I enjoyed the book thoroughly. In fact, this 60 year old college professor was ...

Beautiful story of a brave man
When I went to my hairdresser, he was reading "90 Minutes In Heaven" and when I asked him about it, he told me he felt it was a good book but hadn't finished reading it yet. I liked the title so ordered the book and enjoyed it very much. The author's description of heaven gave me a feeling of peace. Even though he is a man of great faith, he endured many painful trials. The fact that he ...

One of the best books i've ever read!
I have never felt compelled to write a review until now because I feel so strongly about this book. This story is told from such a unique perspective and is so creatively written. There is so much heart and feeling in this book that i was sad for it to come to an end. I will definitely be reading it again and I've been recommending it to everyone, and so far I've gotten nothing but positive ...

Your Personal AgePrint
A few years ago I read The Edge Effect and got impressed with the work of Dr Braverman. Now in "Younger You" I found even more evidence that feeling younger... and getting younger is a feasible option for just about everyone. Each of us can reach for a longer and healthier old age by applying what Dr Braverman outlines in such eloquent way. The AgePrint worksheet in this book is incredible ...

A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life.
After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of schoolwork to read, but I quickly polished this book off in two sessions. This book grabs you almost immediately and reels you ...

Rat Race Lost, State of Denial
Hopeless fathers & sons were a favorite theme of Miller. The pressure of failing aspirations. The horror of failure. Drawn between overconfidence and self-doubt. Flashbacks on scenes from a dreary life. Lies to others and oneself. Failures in job and family. The play is one of the quintessential pieces of modern American theater. Its themes are known and have been expounded endlessly. Why is it ...

Bringing Death to Light
Dylan Thomas's feelings surrounding his father's death were "Rage, rage against the dying of the light". Death was something to be fought. It's an enemy, not a friend to be welcomed. While the Fenwicks might not swing to the opposite side, they do suggest our culture is obsessed with prolonging life. As a result, we have lost the ability to help people to die a good death. "Hi-tech around the ...

A real page turner
I am so stunned by all of the negative reviews on this book! I think I tend to be very critical of books, and have a very short list of favorites. I absolutely loved this book. I thought the characters were very well-developed, and the author's writing positively flowed. The relationships portrayed were so realistic and believable that I was not surprised to read the interview with the author ...

Another true crime high!
I'm not a big Grisham fan but I loved reading this book by him because the story is true. Reading true crime stories is a real high for me because it never ceases to amaze me how some real murders are so much more gruesome and unbelievable than fictional ones. I give this book 5 stars and if you're like me a real true crime junkie I suggest you take a look at Death Penalty USA: 2003 - 2004, my ...

Abby and Co. take Vegas!
Love, love, love Victoria Laurie books! This one does not disappoint, if anything, I am amazed at how she is developing the characters and the plots more and more with each book. This adventure, right on the heels of "Crime Seen" moves the action from Michigan to Vegas (and if ya notice my screen name, ya know I'm a happy girl!) And lots of action there is. Dutch's cousin Chase is kidnapped ...

Powerful insights & lifechanging truth
I believe this book is destined to be a "Christian classic" along the lines of C.S. Lewis's best works. Being more succinct than Wright's previous tomes, it is much easier to digest and has, in turn, a greater impact on the reader. I say this having read most of what N.T. Wright has written. The central of truth of the kingdom of heaven being inaugurated with Christ's life, death and ...

Heaven, by Randy Alcorn
Randy Alcorn did a superb job of painting a potentially realistic picture of Heaven. He used numerous Scriptural references as well as his imagination, to come up with his descriptions of what may very well be what Heaven will be like for believers. I recommend it highly as a book that can encourage us in our daily lives and comfort us as we face the death of loved ones and our own immortality.

Oh my...
Sometimes Jodi Picoult hits a homer, and other times just a single or double. Change of Heart is a grand slam, built around the impact of a death row inmate upon the lives of three unrelated people who are drawn into his story by the circumstances of their own lives. Shay Bourne has exhausted his appeals and is scheduled to die in a few weeks. His last wish is to donate his heart to the daughter ...

Freakin' Awesome
This book is amazing. It's full of weird things, comedy, and of course some serious stuff. It has changed people's life but it my not change yours. I would recommend this to people 14 yrs. old and up. Also, anyone who has felt alone, scared, or just hasn't been able to fit in anywhere. What it's about is a boy named Charlie (that's not his real name. He doesn't use real ones) who is scared about ...
