It was in Henry VII's best interest to malign Richard III, and he certainly did an excellent job, considering what we were all taught in school. I appreciate that there are people who care enough to try to set the record straight. The Wars between the Yorks and Lancasters are ...             Your Cat: Simple New Secrets to a Longer, Stronger Life73 reviews Elizabeth M. Hodgkins D.V.M. Esq. St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 Good book, bad support site on web Dr. Hodgkins writes in plain, easy to understand language that helps the reader understand quickly. It gave me a whole new perspective on caring for my fur-babies. Unfortunately, her corresponding website is less than supportive if you have trouble transitioning a cat into wet food. My repeated requests for help with the transition were put on "hold" and not allowed to be seen by other ...             Here Be Dragons174 reviews Sharon Kay Penman St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 There Be Dragons This is a very subjective review not based on my abilities to write a review but on my impressions of the book itself and the author: I was totally spellbound by this book, it's story and it's author's ability to stay so true to history; and how she fills her characters with fact and imagination to make 3-dimensioned characters. I have read many books of this nature and traveled through the ...             The Far Pavilions96 reviews M. M. Kaye St. Martin's Griffin, 1997 M.M. Kaye fan Well written and engrossing. If you like reading about the Raj period of history, you will love this novel.             Criminal Minded: A Novel60 reviews Tracy Brown St. Martin's Griffin, 2005 Olivia and Zion Great book. Wish it had more to do with Oliva and Zion. Still I love this book!             Hungry Girl 1-2-3: The Easiest, Most Delicious, Guilt-Free Recipes on the Planet347 reviews Lisa Lillien St. Martin's Griffin, 2010 Really Smart! By using just a few simple substitutions and adjusted cooking methods you can stay satisfied without sacrificing taste! Genius! I am incorporating the recipes into my weight watchers plan and staying full and not feeling like I am depriving myself. Love these books!             All Creatures Great and Small137 reviews James Herriot St. Martin's Griffin, 2004 Great Inspirational Story! The book All Creatures Great and Small is a great story by an interesting author, James Herriot. On Amazon, there are almost no legitimate arguments against this great story. The positive reviews love the story because it really gives the reader a sense of what James Herriot is thinking as he tells his own stories. This book is in fact a multi-million copy bestseller, being loved by almost any ...             Tryin' to Sleep in the Bed You Made226 reviews Donna Grant, Virginia DeBerry St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 Timeless I am 26 years old. My mother is a book lover. I got the book from her when I was a child. I read it and thought it was a great book. I was at my mother's house a couple of weeks ago and saw the book again. I read it in about a week. Now that I'm older and have experienced a little more, the book is even better! I wish it was a movie. This is my dream cast: 1. Gayle :Rochelle Aytes 2. Pat: ...             White Lines140 reviews Tracy Brown St. Martin's Griffin, 2007 Very pleased The book arrived timely and in great condition. Would order from this seller again.             Cure Unknown: Inside the Lyme Epidemic71 reviews Pamela Weintraub St. Martin's Griffin, 2009 Excellent account of Lyme disease & current medical policy Ms. Weintraub, editor of the science magazine Discover, provides a detailed and well-researched account of her family's struggle with Lyme disease and the devastation it can cause. Also included are other gripping case-studies, a very interesting and useful history of the discovery of this tick-born illness, and a summary of current research and findings regarding Borrelia burgdorferi (the ...             The Reckoning46 reviews Sharon Kay Penman St. Martin's Griffin, 2009 excellent historical novel Very well written historical novel, delivered quickly, and in great condition. Would order from this source again!             The Peasant Prince: Thaddeus Kosciuszko and the Age of Revolution42 reviews Alex Storozynski St. Martin's Griffin, 2010 Great US and Polish Perspective I just read "The Peasant Prince" and feel it was incredibly well done. I could not put the book down after I started. Thank you to Alex Storoszynski for writing this book. American history focuses more on colonial heroes than foreign patriots, so it took a person with his unique background to put Kosciuszko's life into its proper perspective in both the US and Poland. I especially liked the ...             Dandelion: Memoir of a Free Spirit46 reviews Catherine James St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 Couldn't put it down This book contains the riveting true story of a woman who was really there to experience the sixties first hand. From a horribly abusive childhood environment, she rose to become a world traveler and friend to many of the most famous people of the era. A must-read for anyone interested in recent history.             The Captured: A True Story of Abduction by Indians on the Texas Frontier42 reviews Scott Zesch St. Martin's Griffin, 2005 Best I've read on Native American captures of women & children A well written book describing the captures of children of European American families. Well researched. The book explains both the Native Americans way of life and why they captured children and the distraught parents from whom the children were taken. I have read several books on captured children and this is the best in my opinion. I was fascinated by the fact that almost all of the captured ...             A Woman of Substance52 reviews Barbara Taylor Bradford St. Martin's Griffin, 2009 Story will make you angry, happy, sad.... This story is told in a circular fashion. It starts with 78-year-old Emma Harte as a rich and powerful woman, who has called a meeting of all her family members, then it reverts to teen-aged Emma until she is finally the woman she was at the book's beginning. This MO made the first section vague and somewhat incomprehensible but everything fell into place eventually. The plot was excellent. The ...             Greens Glorious Greens: More than 140 Ways to Prepare All Those Great-Tasting, Super-Healthy, Beautiful Leafy ...43 reviews Johnna Albi St. Martin's Griffin, 1996 Chock full of yum! I have now tried a few of the recipes in this book, including the Very Veggie Beet Soup, Vegetable Soup with Swiss Chard, Chicken Stir Fry with Cauliflower and Kale and a few others... and they have been very hearty and delicious! There are no bizarre ingredients, and the instructions are straightforward. I will definitely keep reaching for this book for tasty ideas, and will also keep ...             SkyMaul: Happy Crap You Can Buy from a Plane42 reviews Robert Baedeker, Dan Klein, ... St. Martin's Griffin, 2006 Coffee table conversation piece I bought this for my husband for Christmas just because it was on sale. Before it arrived, I had started to regret my impulse buy. Then it got here--it is HILARIOUS! On Christmas morning, no other present got so much attention... we passed it around and cracked up. This faux catalogue should entertain anyone who spends their flight time perusing Sky Mall. It may not be the smart, pointed ...             Red Meat: A Collection of Red Meat Cartoons From the Secret Files of Max Cannon49 reviews Max Cannon St. Martin's Griffin, 1997 A Breed Apart (Moo) Like Gary Larson and Tom Tomorrow, people either "get" Max Cannon or they don't. If you "get" him, this collection is invaluable. If not, maybe there's a Mallard Filmore collection out there somewhere. The Family Circus is always good, too. For an anti-Family Circus, non-politically correct good time, Red Meat is a great read. Is it political? Everything's political. This is just a little ...             Hot Lights, Cold Steel: Life, Death and Sleepless Nights in a Surgeon's First Years40 reviews Michael J. Collins St. Martin's Griffin, 2006 Highly recommended! Dr. Collins has written a touching, honest, and sometimes hilarious memoir of his Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgery residency. He also offers insight into the difficulties and joys of marriage and family life during the almost impossibly demanding years of medical school and surgical training.             Front of the Class: How Tourette Syndrome Made Me the Teacher I Never Had39 reviews Brad Cohen, Lisa Wysocky St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 Front of the Class Brad Cohen is positive and an exuberant personality. He has his life-time companion which is called Tourette Syndrome (TS). When he was 7 years old, he started making noises and barking as well as jerking and twitching his face, neck and part of his body. When he was young, he and his family didn't know about TS. His doctor suggested that he could stop his tics intentionally.
