SHOULDN'T MATTER WHO YOU CHOOSE TO LOVE
"Behold A Pale Horse" is the most tragic and hopeless book I have ever read. It is so sad because it is actually a true story. Although it is a fictitious tale, it is based on true events. The book tells the courageous story of Van Bertholds. Van is a Jewish man living in Germany during the beginning of the Nazi Holocaust. On the eve of Van's capture he meets Franz Richter. Both men fall ...

Another Great Book
This is another fine example of Kathryn Reiss's writing. I think it was a great book. I read atleast 4 times because I loved it so much. I really hope Kathryn Reiss becomes well-known. She has a great imagination and sense of literature. This classic tale about a pheonix rising from the ashes is a great story for young and older people to enjoy. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Nabokov's Sweet Madness
For Nabokov, nothing was ever as simple as it seemed. In fact, "simple" and "sincere" were two adjectives that he despised. While teaching at Wellesley College and later at Cornell, Nabokov would give a low mark to any student who used the words, "simple" and "sincere" in a paper. Nabokov was a writer who celebrated the complexities in life. He looked for unexpected meanings in even the most ...

The Pale Surface of Things
I've read this book and it is absolutely wonderful. Great story line, believable characters, a very enjoyable read. Once you start to read it, you will not want to put it down because you will want to know what is going to happen next to each of the characters.

For those involved in such a dispute, sound guidance
At the outset, I wish to say that I am personally offended by the illustration on this book's cover of a child dressed as a U.S. Marine. That said, I realize that for many involved in a child custody dispute, it may seem like a "war" to them. Charlotte Hardwick offers to them an abundance of practical advice as to how to formulate and then implement strategies which will help them to achieve ...

Most Important Birthday Gift I Got This Year.
When asked what I wanted, I would say there isn't anything I need. With the stress of family court facing me I couldn't enjoy even my birthday. My best friend came through again. The copy of 'Witness Guide' he gave me as a gift has eased the burden considerably. Easy to read with sound advice. I needed it for my child custody case and ended up using it for a company deposition. I highly recommend ...

I sat down with this book one evening and read it out loud, allowing it to touch me with the feelings behind the words. The poems are a meal of visual and other sensory pleasures, mixed with the experiences of pain and sorrow in a journey we all know as life. Let it reach inside you and tug at your heart.

Nabokov a hard act to follow for other serious writers
Picture Vladimir Nabokov. In the hall of mirrors that is popular culture, he is the dirty man who wrote the dirty book "Lolita," about a 12-year-old "nymphet" -- he invented the term, by the way -- and her affair with an older man. Angle the mirror another way, and he is one of the founders of the modernist novel, which to some people -- myself included -- that's a damning phrase. ...

Great adventure!
This book swept me back to my childhood with its rich and imaginative adventures based on the legends of King Arthur. My fiance gave the book to me as a gift before I was traveling, and I finished the book before my airplane even touched down because it moves super fast and is incredibly absorbing. The originality of this tale is also great, as it is all told from the perspective of Arthur's ...

Gripping read
Scott Perdue has put together an absolutely gripping thriller that is highly realistic. His grasp of the big picture and the details of modern Air Force warfare is superb, as it should be given his background, and he communicates it well in the context of a story with characters that we care about. I enjoyed it immensely and read it every spare moment that I had available.
