Excellent Read
I love E. Lynn Harris. Just Too Good TO Be True was excellent! A great story about the strong bond between a mother and a son. It shows the determination of a young single mother to raise her son the best way she possibly can. I loved the different characters, the way they were developed. The best part was having Basil in the story line. It's a page turner. I read the book in two days. It ...

Unlocking the Truth About Government
Very happy that Daniel wrote this book. Very brave seeing that these men are ruthless. The true story should have been told a long time ago. I hope it isn't too late to save America. "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group" and the "Naked Capitialist" go hand in hand.

Great Trilogy
I love reading and at times find myself falling for these kind of books and stories. It drags you into the story and makes you feel like you are a part of it, its so real. It a beautiful love story with many twisted situations. I would absolutely reccommend it to my friends or anyone else. If you are going to read one, read all three, their worth it. Loved this book!!

The Facts may be off but the wisdom is there
This was a very easy read and I enjoyed it very much. It is an unbelievable true story. Now there may have been some funny things going on with the books relating to the facts. I didn't really pay all that attention to what Catherine was saying about her past lives. It was interesting at first but what really floored me was when the masters spoke. The wisdom that came from them was a beautiful ...

Religion Gone Too Far
Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith I read this book in shock and awe BEFORE the news of the raid on the YFZ ranch in Texas. At times it was tough reading because I found myself being heartsick and angry that such atrocities are condoned in the United States today. Jon Krakauer has turned from extreme adventure to extreme religion in this inside look at a fundamentalist ...

Inspiring, Insightful, and Uplifting . A cogent reminder ... Love Never Dies!
I discovered "An Hour to Live, an Hour to Love" by Richard and Kristine Carlson, on Amazon.com after purchasing "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. I enjoyed both books and highly recommend them. There are significant differences in both books even though they are dealing with the final stages of life ... while giving heartfelt thoughts to loved ones left behind. While Randy Pausch knew he ...

How many disadvantages can one person overcome? Junior, the narrator of this book, overcomes several disabilities at birth, and then must overcome the physical manifestations of those disabilities (oversize head, lisp, stutter, etc.) for the rest of his life. On top of that he faces the disadvantages that come with being a member of the Spokane Indian tribe: poverty, endemic alcoholism, and ...

Real Fantasy
I was afraid to read this book and avoided it for many years. I so dearly love the movie and I just didn't want to be disappointed either way. If the book was better, as is usually the case, then my movie experience would be tarnished. If the movie was better then I'd be wasting my time with the book. Well nevermind to all of that, because I LOVE this book and now the two separate entities ...

A must have for any fan of the show...
If you're a fan of the show Ghost Hunters or just into the paranormal, you'll love this book. These guys take a totally practical and trustworthy stance on hauntings and the paranormal- trying to disprove it all... and catching some crazy awesome evidence and experiences in the mean time. I found reading the backstory of how TAPS came to be founded super interesting and brought up a lot of things ...

A Nuclear Murder Of A Spy
Mr. Cowell was a reporter for the New York Times when he covered the sensational murder of former KGB spy Alex Litvinenko in London. The book occassionally packs too much information in its attempt to be conprehensive for the "true crime" reader, but otherwise it is quite readable. While the Russians were clumsy in their murder which the author illustrtes with the ease the police unravel and ...

Witty and Insightful!
Much of the book focuses on the insider game in Washington, the non-functioning government bent on both sides twisting reality while continuing to rake in millions from big business. Meanwhile, Boeing, G.M., and Ford are headed towards becoming Chinese companies, and OPEC is likely to begin trading in the Euro. In between safaris into our government, Taibbi also reports on his immersions into ...

Searing and Incisive
"In His Sights" is a chronicle of one woman's experiences with the man who would become her stalker. She writes under an assumed name and does not give many details about her life because her stalker is still living and occasionally still tries to go after her. This is a book written with a lot of fear--a lot of well-deserved fear--and contains a lot of valuable insights about the human ...

Good for Non-Fiction
This book was required summer reading for me, and at first I was a little bit hesitant to pick up a non-ficiton book. I usually gravitate more towardes horror novels. However, this book suprised and delighted me. It read like a cohesive fiction novel, it didn't throw too many facts or figures or scientific jargan at you. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in viruses or any type of science ...

wonderful!
I'm an artist and I am fascinated with all aspects painting including forgers and forgeries. This book is a page turner. Dolnick's approach is insightful, intelligent and free of jargon. He's combined the history of the second world war with the current school of thought on human nature. I loved this book, couldn't put it down and have ordered "The Rescue Artist". JL
