Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die208 reviews
Chip Heath, Dan Heath

Random House, 2007

Duct Tape and All...
First, I must say the team that came up with the cover did a brilliant job. As a corporate director of human resources, I am continually engaged in sharing data with the field and also with my superiors. The techniques and tips in this book have been successfully deployed in my recent presentations. The improved feedback and real world observations prove that I am doing a better job at ...
  
  











  



  
American Wife: A Novel7 reviews
Curtis Sittenfeld

Random House, 2008

Loved it
Great summaries in the other reviews - I won't repeat those. I loved the beginning and middle of this book. Loved Alice, her childhood, her growing up experiences, her family, her life as a single woman, her courtships, her experiences with the Blackwell family (these were my favorite sections), and her relationship with her husband, the future president. All of these things are plot lines ...
  
  











  



  
The 19th Wife: A Novel16 reviews
David Ebershoff

Random House, 2008

Great book
I really enjoyed this book. I had trouble putting it down. Mr Ebershoff weaved 2 tales a hundred years apart, yet related. One based on the real life story of Anne Eliza Webb, wife # 19 of Brigham Young (one of the first leaders in the Mormon church) and a fictional story of a modern day cult of polygamists. The book switches back and forth between the 2 stories. Seemingly the 2 stories are ...
  
  











  



  
The Strongest Tribe: War, Politics, and the Endgame in Iraq14 reviews
Bing West

Random House, 2008

Best of the Best
All previous reviewers have rated the book 5 stars. There is little I can add to improve on their praise. "Ditto" to all the reviews! This is the "Best Book" of an overview of the war's best and worst from start to current. Our soldiers once again prove we have the "Best Tribe" on the planet. I am glad they are on our side!!

The Spies of Warsaw: A Novel65 reviews
Alan Furst

Random House, 2008

My first but not last Furst
The Spies of Warsaw is a wonderful and entertaining read. It hooked me very quickly, and I finished it in nothing flat. Alan Furst is a craftsman of the highest order. I've been analyzing novels rather seriously for almost two decades and this one is constructed as well as any I've read. I'm not a great fan of spy stories as they're usually full of tricks to fool the reader or far too ...
  
  











  



  
The Enchantress of Florence: A Novel42 reviews
Salman Rushdie

Random House, 2008

Better than Mr. Biswas?
This is right up there with a House for Mr Biswas and Kim and the overlooked Red Earth Pouring Rain as far as I'm concerned. This is a book that should be remembered and revered for centuries to come. At times Rushdie does show off, but why shouldn't he,after all- he can, and we should thank him for the effort. This guy is a walking encyclopedia,a walking dictionary and he possesses one of the ...

Fascinating review of Naval Warfare in the 16th Century
Empires of the Sea brings life to the most important Naval conflicts of the the 16th Century. The dramatic battles of The Siege of Malta, and the Battle of Lepanto are detailed from historic records. It is one book you would want to put down. This Dentist from Denver Colorado found it fascinating to see the roots of the current conflicts between Islam and Christianity have been growing strong ...
