A look at "The Big Picture"
I have been advising high net clients for years. It wasn't until I read the book that all the pieces of the puzzel finally fell into place for me. Now, "The Wright Exit Strategy" is required reading for all my new clients and any existing clients who truly want to achieve the best possible outcome with their lives and the use of their wealth.

A map, some clues, and some damn fine coffee
What would a third season of this great television show provided? This book provides the clues as well as other interesting tidbits, including a drawing of the Owl Cave petroglyph and other oddities. Some entries are sketchy a best, but this is a must have for any fan of the little town with a popualtion of 51,201

The List of Seven

Top 5 Reasons to Read the"List of Seven"
1. Because even though this is a "sleeper" book it's right up there with the Da Vinci Code in terms of not being able to put it down. Except for one thing...it's much better written. 2. Because you can read it once a year and still feel the same sense of "the game is afoot" adventurous pleasure. I've read it about 6 times since I bought it years ago (in the bargain bin no less). 3. Because ...

A Grand Slam of a Bio
Purchasing this book I had expected nothing more than the chronicle of Bobby Jones' assualt on the 4 golf majors of 1930. I got so much more. This book is certainly one of the better biographies I've ever read. Though Frost never goes too in depth into the private life of Jones, the writing style is exceptional, the sports action is compelling, but the most amazing thing is how the entire ...

Second Objective, The

starts off great, falls into formula. Over all an enjoyable time spinner
The first half of this book was five star WWII material all the way. Frost has a knack for writing easy-breezy prose and in building up sympathetic characters. The story starts off just prior to the outbreak of the battle of the bulge where Hitler makes a winter-time counter offensive. We follow Bernie, a kid from Brooklyn who's parents moved back to Germany during the Great Depression. Now ...

Greatest Game Ever Played: Harry Vardon, Francis Ouimet, and the Birth of Modern Golf

Not Just a Great Game!
I loved the movie so I thought I'd try the book. I was not disappointed. In fact, I believe a second movie based on this book, focussing on the early career and post "Greatest Game" highlights of Harry Vardon, would produce an excellent movie, as well. My older brother recently retired. My gifts to him were a Caribbean Cruise and a copy of this book to read as he suns on the deck of the ...

This is a great sequel!
In looking at some of the reviews here there seems to be an element of wistfulness for the List of Seven and an opinion that this is not as good as novel as it's precursor. I was fortunate enough to wait two years between reading the two, so while I can agree that this may not be as good as the List of Seven, which was a six-star book in my opinion, this is still a great, wonderful, compelling, ...

A great read for golf history
This little book is packed with history of the game of golf. The Match was the perfect vehicle to present the six characters who make this event come to life. Thanks for introducing me to Harvie Ward. To anyone who plays, loves, and/or enjoys this game you must take the few hours it takes to read this compelling story.

The Autobiography of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes

What's With The Watermelon?
This is a wonderful tie-in to the whole "Twin Peaks" mythos. The book is written in the style of a transcript of tapes that Dale Cooper made throughout his life - from childhood, through the initial Windham Earl affair, and ending with the call for Cooper to head to Twin Peaks. (Oddly enough, that's where "Diane..." the audiobook picks up.) Author Scott Frost (brother of Mark Frost, co-creator ...

Not great, but good enough!
The book on CD of Mark Frost's latest novel "The Second Objective" is very well done. The reader is quite competent, and does a good job with the various characters. Of course, the cd version can only be as good or bad as the book on which it is based. I was a BIG fan of Frost's two previous novels, which featured Arthur Conan Doyle in "Sherlock Holmes" pastiches. They were a great mixture of ...

A lot like Go Ask Alice: but even more sad if that's possible
I was a big Twin Peaks fan and watched the show faithfully, right up to the end. I even saw Fire Walk With Me in the theaters opening weekend. I have to say reading this book gave me the chills. It was very heartbreaking,sad and terrifying as you read how Laura Palmer's life unfolded from ages 12 to 17. I know there are a lot of theories from fans regarding whether BOB was real or someone ...
