A place to work where they pay you to be nice.... literally. We deal everyday with the public and, I must say at moments it can be a real challenge as everyone has their own agenda and mood swing.

When I apply what I learned in the book it is much ...             Dragon Lair (Matterhorn the Brave Series #5)1 review Mike Hamel AMG Publishers, 2007 A Dragon, A King, and A Search "Dragon's Lair" is the fifth in the Matterhorn the Brave series written by Make Hamel.

Happy Reading!             Scrambles Amongst the Alps/in the Years 1860-69 (Century Travellers)3 reviews Edward Whymper Century Hutchinson, 1986 superb writing from the Golden Age of Alpinism Since I first read this little classic, Edward Whymper's book on scrambling in the Alps has always been my favorite mountaineering book.

There's suspense aplenty, but my favorite part of these stories are M. Terry ...             Rylan the Renegade (Matterhorn the Brave Series #6)2 reviews Mike Hamel AMG Publishers, 2007 Rylan the Renegade This is another awesome book in the series.

My 15 year old daughter kept listening in as we read and soon was so absorbed in the story that she made us promise not to read it without her. This is a very well-written, realistic adventure story that illustrates the value of character and integrity over personal ambition. It's not often that I come across books ...             Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam War217 reviews Karl Marlantes Atlantic Monthly Press, 2010 Must read The book started a little slowly for me, but as the story unfolded it was clear why it was "slow" at first.

Plot/Storyline: 5 Stars I have read many fictional accounts of wartime, but this one is the most realistic I have come across. Unlike many other novels centered around a war, this one does not try to vilify or praise the soldiers, military, or government. It simply tells the story of one regular guy who got drafted. Various opinions are displayed, but never in a preachy kind of way. Carl is ...             Wet Behind The Ears1 review Bruno Gideon Matterhorn Publishing, 2006 Highly entertaining and readable ...a gift to the reader!
