A Hilarious Yet Poignant Read
Roseanna Plow is one of the wittiest, wisest, most enjoyable characters I have read in ages. With humor she tells her tale of her cheating husband leaving her for Inga, her best friend. Roseanna's Ma vexes her with the most hilarious antics that are to "aid" Rosie. Her clients, mentally disabled people being acclimated to life in the main stream, all provide hilarity as well as warmth. She ...

Read it Twice!
This is a pragmatic book. I first got this book back in the 70s. I didn't realize what a treasure this book is. This book will simply teach you how to be successful and happy always. Successful as in let go of the emotional junk that keeps you held back, keeps you sleepy, and all that. Sounds hokey? Well, that's why I didn't read it for about 20 to 30 years. I skimmed it, saw one line in ...

One of the realest books I ever read.....
I give major props to Ms. Brown for the excellent work she put in for this novel. The thing that grabbed me most was that this was one of the few novels that was based on the DRUGS that infected our community, but also detailed how it affected everyone involved in the DRUG life. It didnt just detail the rise and fall of a drug dealer, or the trials & tribulations of a crackhead. It viewed what it ...

A must read for all those working IN or WITH the profession of nursing. Gordon discusses how the changes in our health care system have affected both the nurses role and quality patient care issues. The essential need for collaboration of all health care personnel is woven throughout the content. I required this book for a senior nursing course I just taught at Wayne State University in ...

Must read for those interested in all aspects of the credit world
Being an avid reader and contributor of the forums for a couple years at cardratings.com I had to purchase the book and was pleased with the great material found within. It took the best of what I've learned and explains it all in a well organized manner. I point family and friends to it now, cause it explains it all much better than I can. With the help of the forums I overcome a $12000 ...
Drawing the Line: Science and the Case for Animal Rights
15 reviews
Steven M. Wise
Basic Books
, 2002
Succeeds brilliantly
Steven M. Wise's "Drawing the Line" presents a compelling argument for recognizing the rights of "nonhuman" animals. As a lawyer who has taught at Harvard and has championed animal rights for over twenty years, Mr. Wise directs our attention in this book to some of the recent scientific studies pertaining to animal intelligence. The evidence strongly suggests that at least some species qualify ...
Crossing the Line: A Bluejacket's World War II Odyssey (Bluejacket Books)

Alvin Kernan

A real page-turner!
. When you think of an east coast university professor who specializes in the humanities--Shakespearean literature, in this case--you probably won't be visualizing someone who started adulthood by engaging in vicious aerial gunnery duels with Japanese fighters and otherwise living the stressful, profane, hazardous life of an enlisted sailor on three World War II aircraft carriers, one of which ...
A Line in the Sand: the Alamo Diary of Lucinda Lawrence, Gonzales, Texas 1836 (Dear America Series)

Alamo Diary Opened My Mind
What a fun read! I was not too enthusiastic about this book but I gave it a try anyway. I'm glad I did! Wall-to-wall action and relevant description abound in this story about a misunderstood historical period. I read this a few years ago and I still remember how good it was. Recently I read another book about the Alamo, and it makes me appriciate how well-written this one is. I don't agree that ...

David Macaulay
Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books
, 1983
A new perspective on things
Macaulay uses his amazing talents to turn the world upside down in this unique book. Children (and even adults) will learn all kinds of things about what's beneath a modern city. I enjoyed showing my son the illustrations and explaining what it all means. Do beware, however, that this is a pretty abstract topic and that it can be difficult for younger kids to fully comprehend exactly what's going ...

Amazing Book......Amazing Physician
I was a patient of Dr. Karl's back in April 2002. I was in my mid 30's and of course scared to death of surgery. Dr. Karl was the 4th surgeon that I had consulted. Once I met him, I knew he was the surgeon for me. His understanding of what I was going through, his grace, his medical experience. I could go on and on. When I heard he had written a book, I had to read it. As a patient of ...
Life Lines - a patient's perspective in humorous verse on life with Parkinson's Disease and Cancer
8 reviews
Anthony Edey
Iris Enterprises Inc.
, 2000
Refreshing and uplifting
Life Lines was meant as a double-entendre by Edey -- "life lines" as throwing them out to save someone drowning in adversity, and lines by the words used by this man who charismatically wrote about his experiences in being treated for skin cancer and Parkinson's Disease. We've heard actor Michael J. Fox talk publicly about his life with PD, and like Fox, Edey provides a service to those who ...

The Baby Who Wouldn't Go to Bed
My neighbor lent this book to me when I was having trouble getting my 2 year old to go to bed and go to sleep with it being light out at bedtime during the summer. She loved the book and would ask for me to read it again every night. It is one of her favorite books. The action words really invite her to get involved in the story. Words like "vrrruuum-chugga-chug", roaring tigers, parading ...

Very Different! There's Not Another Book Like This!
As a parent and Sunday school teacher, I am constantly on the lookout for new material to help students. When I discovered this book, the title drew me in immediately; but the content was incredible. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. When I finished it, I ordered enough for my entire Sunday school class. So far, every student that has finished the book has given the most incredible ...

Looking for Leadership Materials! Shop here!
After reading this book I am compelled to recommend it to other teachers of Leadership! Mr. Blasko's book uses every day life examples and humor to attack the huge topic of "Where am I going and what should I do in my life?" and breaks heavy discussion topics into bite-sized, easy-to-swallow morsels. I have used this book as the study guide for Youth Leadership Knox County and the students love ...

A Joyful, Priceless Personal Memoir
When Chuck Jones received his special Academy Award in the mid-1990s, he wondered aloud from the stage where all the "laughing faces of Termite Terrace" had gone. They're right here in Martha Goldman Sigall's wonderful book. Martha was a central participant in the Golden Age of the animated short: she inked and painted on timeless, classic films directed by Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, ...

Conversations With God
This book is a "Natural and Spiritual Eye-Opener" in every sense of the word. It reveals untold experiences many christians encounter without knowing how to talk to God about the issues. I highly recommend this book to readers to encourage them to truly "talk to God" whether you know how to pray or not. Life has too many unwanted circumstances, and we need to know there is a "listening ear" that ...

Glass Man, whose transparent body allows us to see when he has eaten the right or wrong foods, takes us on the nutritional journey. Along the way we will meet the deadly Mucus Gang, whose members are on the Most Wanted List for making people weak and sick. ...

Find the Competitive Edge!
I would have to say this book is one of the few that I have read and immediately observed improvement in my performance skills. Not only have I improved performance on the field I have improved performance in my workplace and in the "game of life" in general. If you are looking for peak performance in life, I would definitely recommend this book. It is easy to read and anyone can understand and ...

Charles Clover
New Press
, 2006
Highly Informative... A Must-Read!
"The End of the Line" is a well-written, highly informative book which addresses a serious global issue. "Imagine what people would say if a band of hunters strung a mile of net between two immense all-terrain vehicles and dragged it at speed across the plains of Africa.... left behind is a strangely bedraggled landscape resembling a harrowed field... this efficient but highly unselective ...
