Mira, 2007

Excellent Book
The characters were very realistically depicted and likeable. Yelena is an admirable character but not Mary Sueish. Valek is an impossible to look away from hero. Both have a very well-developed history and background that adds to the realism. The plotline was excellent. None of the parts seemed rushed or impossible. The romance was a perfect balance. Not too little to make it barely there ...

Casarett & Doull's Toxicology: The Basic Science of Poisons (Casarett & Doull Toxicology)

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2007

If you can only buy 1 toxicology reference, make it this one
I found this to be an outstanding and thorough treatment of the entire gamut of toxicology. The book is well organized, with a very logical sequence of chapters. Each chapter is authored by recognized experts in the various subspecialties of toxicology, such as neurotoxicology. The principles and model systems of each specialty are discussed in detail. This text contains no fluff. I recommend it ...

Required Reading!
I checked this book out from my local library. It has changed my life and finances for the better. I am in far better financial shape now than when I was addicted to debt. I bought Dave's other book for my brother and I am now buying this one for my neice's wedding. I just wish that someone gave me this book 22 years ago when I got married! I approach is simple. Get out and stay out of ...

God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

784 reviews
Christopher Hitchens

Twelve Books, Hachette Book Group, 2007

Whaat a great read!
Christopher Hitchens is elevating the level of skepticism within the ranks of the mass uniformed public. This book makes it increasingly difficult to defend religion and adherence to belief in god on the ground with the common person. We are another day closer to tossing religion and ideas about god onto the ash heap of human immaturities.

Harper Paperbacks, 2003

Finally, some actionable advice
Over the past three years, my wife and I have consulted innumerable resources to help us address the toxic environment her ex has created and the poison he has injected into our children. Time after time, we were advised to "take the high road" and essentially do nothing. Even our child psychologist told us, "The kids are fine. They know what is going on and they are fine with both parents. ...

Sheila Lowe

Signet, 2008

Great insight into handwriting analysis
If you have read Ms Lowe's book Complete Idiot's Guide to Handwriting Analysis then you are aware that she has solid expertise in the field--court certified, thousands of analyses performed. That background is put to good use in this contemporary mystery. You will be intrigued by the clues her character Claudia Rose extracts from the notes and handwriting samples in the book. Highly recommended.

Death of a Poison Pen (Hamish Macbeth Mysteries, No. 20)

M. C. Beaton

Grand Central Publishing, 2005

ANOTHER RELAXING READ IN A GREAT SERIES
I must admit to being rather addicted to the "cozy mystery" genre. They are a source of relaxation for me. These, the Hamish Macbeth series by M.C. Beaton, are some of my favorites. As other reviewers have pointed out, each of the twenty or more books are much the same. Same plot, same characters, same locations, etc. etc. That is okay though. I find this rather comforting. The various ...

Joyce and Jim Lavene

Berkley, 2008

Another Great Read!
I settled in to begin this read knowing I was going to love every word, and I was correct. Peggy, a forensic botanist who is working for the Charlotte Police was about to take me on another mysterious, outrageous ride as she is thrown headlong into another murder investigation. I was happy to again be reunited with the other characters that play roles in this wonderful series. Paul, Peggy's ...

The Important Legacy of "Silent Spring" Continues
Because of the immense importance of the subject matter- chemical contamination of our environment, this book was written for a general audience and Ms Steingraber's writing style flows with easy to understand, but alarming expose' of the hazards of chemicals in our environment. It is a beautiful continuation of Rachel Carson's work of environmental responsibility and the examination of the ...

At second glance though, you learn that she has an assistant that is newly recovering from his heroin addiction. She also has two anorexic actresses helping out at her shop.

Poison Sleep (Marla Mason, Book 2)

T.A. Pratt

Spectra, 2008

Where is Felport?
This second in the "Marla Mason" series is even better than the outstanding debut "Blood Engines." The characters are well imagined and even have credible motivations. I like the moral ambiguity of the characters - Marla and her friends want to do good, but not terribly fervently. Their opponents either want different goods or want evil, but not terribly fervently. Even the main villain of ...

Deborah Layton

Anchor, 1999

Moving and inspirational. A must read
Originally bought as a source for a research paper, i had come into this searching for a simple first hand account of the Jonestown incident. However, once i began reading, Seductive Poison evolved into much more than just a primary source. What sets this book apart from any other literature on the accounts of Jonestown is Layton's honesty. She provides the reader with a background of information ...
