The House on Beartown Road

25 reviews
Elizabeth Cohen

Blackstone Audiobooks, 2004

SUCH FINE WRITING
I found "The House on Beartown Road" shelved in our local library (Pound Ridge, NY) under Mental Health/Alzheimer's. I don't know who decides these things, but this wonderful memoir ought to be prominently placed along with other contemporary memoirs. Elizabeth Cohen is a fine writer and she deserves recognition for this generous tribute to her 80-year-old father, Sandy, to her daughter -- one ...

My boys love this!
This set of books has caused quite a stir in our home! My boys (8 and 6) love to hear us read to them so much that bedtime has often been delayed because of "just one more chapter!"

On The Road With The Ramones

33 reviews
Monte A. Melnick; Frank Meyer

Bobcat Books, 2007

Interesting and Heartbreaking
This book is a GREAT read for any Ramones fan, but it was very heartbreaking in the end to see how "the remaining band members" treated Joey at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. I only wish Joey's mom and brother would have stepped up on stage to accept that award for Joey. He indeed was the most kind hearted soul and he deserved more recognition then what he got that night. May he rest in ...

Want to become a saint?
What better way to become a saint than to study what the saints and doctors of the church have said? Martin does a wonderful job of bringing together writings from all different periods of the church and blending them into a coherent and interesting story. There is advice from Teresa of Avila, John of the the Cross, Catherine of Siena, Bernard of Clairvaux, Francis De Sales, and the Little ...

Michael Hull

Inner Traditions, 2000

A Spiritual Journey
Excellent reading from an educational or spiritual point of view. The clear language, content, and message helped me to look at myself from a new point of view. Michael's use of humor drew me in. His journey is that of a true human being. A look at recovery and healing through practice of Sacred Lakota ceremony. Truly an inspiration.

Bart Yasso, Kathleen Parrish

Rodale Books, 2009

Great running stories by a well-traveled runner
I was wondering when Bart would get around to writing a book about his running experiences. My Life On The Run made it worth the wait. If you want to find out what it's like to run in some of the strangest and most exotic races around the globe (and how to train for them), this is the book for you. Bart's writing pulls you into the event and holds you there with ease. You find that running is not ...

Random House Audio Roads, 2003

A must read
This book should be on everyone's "must read" list. It should also be on the must read list for evey high school student. This book is very well written and easy to follow. It is also very hard to put down once you start reading it. Being a Vietnam War Veteran myself, I would highly recomend this book to anyone.

one of America's finest tells how it was
This is an exelent book, it covers the author time while serving in F coy/ 58 LRP and L coy/ 75 Ranger One of the things I love is the way the author decribes the small details, the nitty gritty...attention to details are importend, but it is details in the field... This book also gives an avid account of the authors trip to the famed MACV recondo school and has plenty of goddy tips that ...

Thomas Nelson, 2006

John finishes his book with a ? "What did you like best?"
The following is what I liked best: The section on Goals They MUST be activities that are: written, personal, specific, achievable, measurable, and time sensitive. The Quotes: "You can not make any progress when you are facing the wrong way." & the another one by Charles 'Tremendous' Jones who said "The only difference between the person you are today and who you will be in 5 years ...

John R. Cross

Goodseed Intl, 1998

A good first exposure to the Bible
So a short review here. This was one of the first books suggested to me by a friend when I started getting into reading the Bible seriously. It was an immense help, being able to be walked through the whole thing from beginning to end. Seriously. For all the whining and complaining, or even genuine confusion about how the Bible seems to make no sense, etc. etc. this book helps to put so ...

The Road to Hell (Hell on Earth, Book 2)

16 reviews

Zebra, 2007

Red Hot Sequel
Loved the first book, "Hell's Belles", and this sequel is just as magnificent as Book 1. Former succubus, Jesse, is just starting to settle into the mortal life when her friends from the Pit come a knocking for a reunion. The story is very good but what really drives this tale is what made the first book such a sinful pleasure: the characters and the dialogue. Kessler has created a host of ...

William Woodruff

Chivers Audio Books, 2003

This really is a superb social history
I came upon this book after hearing brief snippets of it serialised BBC Radio 4 and the World Service. It had added interest for me as I know Blackburn (at least modern Blackburn) very well, it was later a surprise to discover I knew virtually nothing of the town. The book is evocative and stirring as you follow the authors journey from early childhood to his 16th year, when he finally ...

A gripping Vietman narrative
"Platoon Leader: A Memoir of Command in Combat," by James R. McDonough, chronicles the author's experiences as an officer in the Vietnam War from 1970-71. His platoon is charged with manning an outpost next to the village of Truong Lam. This is a fascinating, well-written account. McDonough fills his narrative with vivid details that really made his story come alive in my mind. He doesn't ...

Napoleon Hill

High Roads Media, 2003

Powerful book by Hill
If you were to read just one book by Hill, this one should be that book. It is powerful and loaded with information. Using this information accelerated my professional and personal life. Nobody does it better than Napolean Hill. And by the way, I don't recommend that you read only one book by Hill. I have a nice library of Napolean Hill books, still don't have them all, but am working on it. Each ...

McGraw-Hill, 2003

Educational and Insightful
I have read a number of financial planning books just to get different views from financial advisors and I have to say that this one tops my list. I myself am a financial planner and currently studying for my CFP. This book was an easy read for those who may not know too much about financial planning. It also contains a wealth of information and insight to provide value to people like me who ...
