A Man Amongst Men
This is a beautiful novel about a beautiful human being. If you love Van Gogh's paintings (he is my personal favorite of all painters) then by all means, you need to read this wonderful book. In his prose, Stone is able to paint a vivid, vibrant, illuminating portrait of an amazing artist. I was truly blown away and completely consumed from the first chapter on. I actually read this fine ...

Parasite Rex: Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures

Carl Zimmer

Arrow Books Ltd, 2003

Awesome book changes your outlook
Another excellently-written work from Carl Zimmer. This book will give you a bad case of the creepy-crawlies in parts. It will also completely change your outlook on the nature of life, because you will learn that parasites are not really the gross, "devolved" hangers-on that most think of them as, but rather a vibrant, important part of the web of life... ... that is sometimes really ...

The Great Escape

53 reviews
Paul Brickhill

Arrow Books Ltd, 1979

Outstanding.
It's a shame the publisher decided to put a picture on the cover of Steve McQueen wrapped up in the barbed wire at the end of his big motorcycle escape attempt. Because, you see, that never happened in the TRUE story of the Great Escape contained in this book. The movie (while good) took serious dramatic license, while Brickhill's book presents the facts. And they are quite inspiring and ...

Duncton Wood (The Duncton Chronicles, 1)

William Horwood

Arrow Books Ltd, 1981

Terrific
I find it difficult to reread a book, but I have read Duncton Wood three times and am beginning to reread the rest in the series. I had to order the books from Amazon UK a few years back, but I think now they might be out of print. Do what you can to find every book in the series. You won't be disappointed. I don't know what you can say to convince people to read these books, but they are worth ...

Maverick

Ricardo Semler

Arrow, 1994

An unorthodox approach to running a business
Ricardo Semler calls himself a maverick, but he's actually a visionary. Semler, now 49, was way ahead of the curve 25 years ago when he radically altered the structure and philosophy of his father's company, Semco. Long before most businesses acknowledged that employees were thinking, feeling human beings and not timecard-punching robots, Semler rebuilt the infrastructure at Semco, eliminating ...

Rich Mullins: An Arrow Pointing to Heaven

James Bryan Smith

B&H Publishing Group, 2002

Reach out to Jesus, Hold On Tight
Rich's life was like my life, and finding someone who was like me, a ragamuffin, was an indescribable comfort on a lonely path from helpless addiction to freedom. Note: I am still on that path today. One day I will be able to thank Rich in person for what a gift his life was to so many of us. This book is a testament to that life. It is a treasure.

These Old Shades

Georgette Heyer

Arrow Books Ltd, 1993

Terrific book, will NO-ONE ever get the covers right?
This is a marvellous book - Rafael Sabatini meets P.G. Wodehouse, humour and adventure and elegance and, yes, romance, perhaps the best of the early-style swashbuckling Heyers, and the first of a series continued with "Devil's Cub" and "An Infamous Army." But won't someone, ONCE, get the covers right? What is this chichi sub-Tissot Regency pap? This books takes place in the 1750s in England ...

The Six Wives of Henry VIII

Alison Weir

Arrow Books Ltd, 1995

Fill in the holes, if you have read other books about this period.
A must read if you have been enticed by the interesting tale of the period... Perhaps you have read some of the fluffier books with more romance and fictional license. This is book fills in many of the holes. This book is a nice enjoyable read with great details that touch on the people in a Titan's wake. The women come to life. The politics and decisions that baffle us, centuries later, ...

The Three Battlegrounds

Francis Frangipane

Arrow Publications, 1989

Safeguards for Christians Involved in Spiritual Warfare
F. Frangipane is a father in the Lord when it comes to spiritual warfare and it's easy to see his wisdom and balance as evidenced by the following quote. "Victory begins with the name of Jesus on our lips. It is consummated by the nature of Jesus in our hearts." In his book, the author identifies and discusses the spirit of Jezebel, Babylon and the antichrist; however, he advocates love not ...

A Rumor of War

Philip Caputo

Arrow Books Ltd, 1979

Viet nam account
Caputo's account as a combat officer is the best book on direct experience in Nam. It ranks up there with Normen Mailer's The Naked and fhe Dead and Audie Murphy's WW2 account of his combat experience in To Hell and Back superbley written--gripping. Maurice

P.G. Wodehouse

Arrow, 2008

A Capital Collection
This volume of ten stories originally hails from 1925. I read them in the 1999- 2000 Penguin paperback edition. While many readers like the covers by Ionicus on earlier Penguin paperbacks, these recent editions with covers by David Hitch are my favorites. They are very well done, reasonably priced and just the right size, which is to say, perfect for the novice or seasoned Wodehouse reader. The ...

The Grand Sophy

Georgette Heyer

Arrow, 2004

Sophy is Grand
This is one of the best of Georgette Heyer's novels. For anyone unfamiliar with her works, she is Jane Austen with an even strong sense of the absurd and the wit to see through people's pretensions. Sophy is the "not-so-little any more" niece of Lady Ombersley, whose arrival promptly sets the family's well ordered world on its ear. Her cousin, Charles, is at first infuriated and then gradually ...

Always Wonderful
If you know Wodehouse, you love Wodehouse and this book will just confirm your feelings. If you don't know Wodehouse, read this or any other book and you will fall in love with him. Every book you read is like going on vacation.

I Felt The Love
I loved this book and I enjoyed reading it so much, I'm going to reread it very soon. It was as if the Lord was talking directly to me. It is so loving, kind and gentle. I know that nothing in this world really matters because it will all pass away. The only thing that reallly matters is the love of God the Father. I felt that love when I read this book. I thank Wendy Alec for sharing these ...

Proud Breed

Celeste De Blasis

Arrow Bks., 1979

(4.5) Looking for a big, fat family saga set in Old California?
Well then look no further; this is one of the best I've found yet. The Proud Breed begins in the 1840's as Tessa McCloud prepares for her sixteenth birthday. Great granddaughter of Don Esteban, one of the original Californio ranchero families, she has been "sold" by her father to the very evil Don Luis to pay off his gambling debts. Looking for a final respite before meeting her fate at the hand ...

Arrow Books Ltd, 1992

can't be beat
This is a cookbook as a cookbook should be. The recipes are direct, succinct and just what one needs to prepare the dish without elaborate fuss. And most of the dishes are great. If I had to settle for one cookbook only, this would be it.

Inc. Arrow Hunt Publishing

Arrow Hunt Publishing, 1999

Hard To Put Down!
This is a wonderfully exciting book. The storyline and the intense writing style makes it a book hard to put down. I read the entire book in one night, even putting my family on hold. Hope to hear more from this author in the very near future. I would highly reccomend this book to readers who like detail and suspense.

The pool of two moons (The witches of Eileannan)

Kate Forsyth

Arrow, 1998

Now that you're hooked on Eileanan...
In this second book, Isabeau takes a bit of a back seat, recovering from her ordeal in delivering the talisman, and learning humility and obedience as a servant in the Righ's palace. There is a shift of interest to her twin sister, Iseult, whom Meghan discovered when she visited the Dragons. Iseult, raised by her faery kin on the icy Spine of the World, seems as different from Isabeau as night ...
