You'll be blown away
I first read this book at about 9, or 10, years old, and, I have to say, I thought it to be the best book I had ever read (and I read a lot). Now, after reading it for the third time as a 13 year-old, I wish I had waited so I could enjoy it as I did while also appreciating the plot and character development. The author did a very good job with portraying how man becomes corrupted by what he wants ...

Paralleling the very truth of the Good News
I had sworn off novels for the last nearly two decades of my life. At a time when I had grown so tired and weary of my confusion, I picked up this book, given to me two years ago by a friend. It had stayed in the box, then in the shelf, and one weary day God invited me to pick it up, even when I didn't know it was Him. I was just so hungry, so tired. I didn't stop reading, only to get some ...

Prescription Nutritional Healing

Prentice-Hall, 2000

Comprehensive
With over five million copies sold, this book is one of the most read texts on nutritional health. I say "text" because it measures in at a good inch and three-quarters thick. Written by a certified nutritionist and a bona-fide MD, it is neatly divided up into three parts. Part I, a quarter-inch thick discusses the basic principles of health and nutrition. This section lists and explains the ...

Amazing Story
The story had me gripped right away. Each chapter switched to each of the two main characters telling thier side of the story. Here I was thinking it was great storytelling when I realized the story was non-fiction! This made the experience even more intense and beautiful. This is a wonderful book. I highly recommend it.

Little Prince speaks to the child in me
I was an adult when i read this book, and i really appreciated the lessons in life that Saint-Exupery shares through the Little Prince. A great book, full of beautiful illustrations, easy to read, while fun and sad at the same time. I personally read it as if Exupery is sharing with us the conversations he has with his own inner child, in the image of the Little Prince. That is why the ...

Five Years Later, This Is Still The Best Sports Book I've Ever Read
When I finished reading this book five years ago, I thought "Wow, that is the greatest sports book I have read." Well, I still think that way and I've read some great sports literature since. It's the combination of fascinating mini-biographies of Seabiscuit's owner, trainer and jockey that make this book so entertaining. These were fascinating people and if you were a horse racing fan, the ...

Great copy of unabridged Count of Monte Cristo
We only recently found out that all our copies of The Count of Monte Cristo were abridged. We checked this out of our local library and liked it so much we bought a copy for our home library. The type setting is very readable and best of all, it's not abridged. The story is a classic and a great read. I recommend it for everyone.

Judge the book on its own terms
Let me preface this by saying I was a classmate of John's at the Iowa Writers' Workshop in the mid-90's. I remember discussing several of the essays included in this collection, and being incredibly impressed with both the work and the author. The time, imagination, detail, obsession, intelligence, honesty and humble nature of both the essays and the essayist should at the very least inspire a ...

Warner Books, Incorporated, 1996

Enchanting
I was in love with Katia Gordeeva & Sergei Grinkov from the moment I first saw them skating together. Their classic routines were perfect enough to win many world championships including a 1988 Olympic gold medal in Calgary Canada. Romance eventually blossomed and the beautifully matched pair were married in April of 1991. Their daughter, Daria Sergeyevna Grinkova, was born in my favorite ...

Phenomenal Read
Jim Webb is at his finest describing his "fictional" account of Vietnam. This book grabs you and drags you in.

dog stories
This is another wonderful story told with a lot of love. Right up there with Marley and Me and Merle's Door. You can read this more than once. I just wish the book was longer because there were so many great tales of this dog and her owners. They really loved their dog.

"I can walk. I've even got harper boots. I can walk anywhere!"
DRAGONSINGER shows off sci-fi/fantasy writer Anne McCaffrey at her best and most accessible. Of the three books which make up the Harper Hall trilogy, this one is my favorite and a book to which I've returned a bunchful of times. Only thing is, whenever I dust this off (or, come to think of it, any of the early Pern novels), I tend to go ahead and re-read the whole friggin' series. The Harper ...

A Joy Forever
What more can be said about this lovely collection of thoughts? Even as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is as fresh as the day it was penned. This book is a keeper if ever there was one, a volume to be read and re-read and handed down to one's children, which is what I intend to do with the most recent Gift from the Sea that I bought.

One of the All-Time Greatest
Harpo Speaks speaks of an amazing life with a voice filled with humor and humanity. This is a book to savor. I've now read it 3 times and am looking forward to #4! Just a joy!

Catherine Marshall

G K Hall & Co, 1987

Loved it!
This is one of those classic novels that you could read again and again. I hadn't read it since high school twenty years ago and just re-read Christy last week. I like it even better now than I did then (and I loved it then, too). I would have loved to have had Catherine Marshall's version of a sequel (hopefully it would have consisted of a continuation of Neil & Christy's romance), but I ...

Superb Book!
This book is one I am using everyday since I read it to develop my skills to approach a prospect, present a product in a way that adds value to the person purchasing it and close the sale tactfully. I recommend this book for anyone wanting to enjoy sales and improve their conversion rate.

Johanna Lindsey

G K Hall & Co, 1991

One of the best romance novels ever.
I've read a number of books by J. Lindsey and my two favorites are this book and "A Loving Scoundrel." Both of them have a girl dressed as and pretending to be a boy. I loved the characters. Good plot. Good writing. Great fun CAUTION SPOILERS: Georgina was dressed as a boy and thought the captain (James) believed she was a boy. James knew she was really a girl but pretended he didn't ...
