, 2008
A breath of fresh air.
As a Catholic, I've grown tired of relentless monotone stereotyping of Catholics. Being Catholic Now has been needed for a long time. Kennedy brings a more honest look at the rich spectrum of Catholic experience. The book affirmed that my experience growing up Catholic, thoughtful, curious, open, and responsible (not guilty) was not an anomaly as so many would suggest. In fact, my experience ...

Great resource
This is the first book I have ever seen that gives the public direction on which news sites to visit. The Web has created content overload, but who to trust and who to devote limited time too? That is what this book has done. And it is not a boring look at Web sites, but instead brings each site to life and goes in depth on how they operate. I love the ranking system and especially was ...

Best Book I've Found So Far
This book was very helpful for me in understanding the graduate application process. My undergraduate institution does not have an advisor to help me, so I had to figure it out on my own. The book was very detailed and specific, and it explained the process and answered my questions a lot. The book also gave tips and advice for every stage of the application process. I feel like I wasted ...

It is not a "this is right" and "this is wrong" but a way of teaching the reader the advantages and pitfalls of these different traditions.

Interesting Defense of the Psychiatrist
A Boston Globe reporter tells the story of the female psychiatrist accused of having sex with her male client. The client later ended up committing suicide. This story was splashed across the Boston headlines in the early 90's. The topic is interesting; but the book not very well written. The book is mostly concatenations of excerpts from legal documents, interviews, and process notes (the ...
