Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Star Wars) 3 reviews
Tracey West
Grosset & Dunlap, 2008
A Good Read
The teen novelization of the latest Star Wars film, the Clone Wars, is a short but delightful read. Granted, I'm not in the target demographic for this book, but it took me only a couple hours to run through this book and I enjoyed every minute of it.
So as not to spoil anything for anyone, I'll quote the back of the book instead of rambling about the plot of the book: "Was has spread chaos ...

No True Glory: A Frontline Account of the Battle for Fallujah 118 reviews
Bing West
Bantam, 2006
Very accurate and explained things I didn't understand during the Battle.
This book is a very good book about the battle. I served with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force during this battle during Operation Phantom Fury. After returning home and seeing this book I immediately bought it. When you are on the ground even with a high level of information there are still things you don't understand and this book explained some of the things I still didn't understand even ...

Theology Of The Body For Beginners14 reviews
Christopher West
Ascension Press, 2004
Well thought out explanation of a complex subject
Prior to his elevation to Pope, Karol Wotija, wrote extensively on this subject (see "Love and Responsibility"). After he became Pope, the late Holy Father, John Paul II gave, over several years, a long series of talks on love, marriage, contraception, sex and the roles of men and women. These talks were collected into the book "Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body".

Kim West, Joanne Kenen
Vanguard Press, 2006
It works! A wonderful technique
This book allows us to give our child the marvolous gift of learning to soothe themselves. The method WORKS! For those of you that judge the book after one night of crying...you are missing the wonderful results that come after 1 or 2 nights of crying...and 2 or 3 weeks of total training...THE RESULT IS many years of being able to fall asleep by themselves, soothe themselves, and stay asleep. ...

The Strongest Tribe: War, Politics, and the Endgame in Iraq36 reviews
Bing West
Random House, 2008
Superb, clear and powerful!
This is a book all Americans need to read. Our popular media has so oversimplified and sensationalized the Iraq war that most Americans do not understand what "victory" could look like. If you read this book you will be able to understand the real daily basis of the conflict(s). You will also be able to visualize a productive outcome after all of our national sacrifice.

Fantastic introduction or refresher on object oriented concepts
How I wish I'd had this book earlier in my programming career!
The Head First series use a novel teaching style that is designed to be engaging and informative and to work for a wide range of people. We all learn in different ways so this book uses them all to make sure you get the point.
The examples are clear and the concepts presented in a way that I was able to understand them and ...

Wiley, 2007
Even Better Than Expected
Well written, clear and fun to read. I'm not a real pilot but I've been an enthusiastic if somewhat casual user of Flight Simulator for years and I have learned so much from this book. It's accurate, no glaring typos and assembled in a logical format.
The accompanying exercises (down loadable from the Wiley Site)are very well done and are a testament to the devotion of the authors to fulfill ...

Crazy Ladies: A Novel112 reviews
Michael Lee West
Avon A, 2005
Hated to see this book end!
"Crazy Ladies" had me temporarily rearranging my priorities and putting other things aside in order to get back to this book every chance I got. Not like me, but I don't regret a minute of it. The only downside is that now I'm finished with it and I don't want to be!
The very best thing about this book is the natural voices of the characters. I should know - I grew up and live in the same area ...

Heaven's Song: Sexual Love as It Was Meant to Be1 review
Christopher West
Ascension Press, 2008
And the Earth Moved
Prepare yourself to be profoundly moved. It's nearly impossible to read Christopher West's new book, "Heaven's Song" without a radical regeneration of your view of marriage, and it's relationship with the Church. It's no accident that George Weigel called Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body a "ticking theological time bomb that, when it goes off, will ignite the New Springtime of ...

A Reluctant Reader's Favorite Read
My son is eight years old and often doesn't have the patience to read. Of course I want him to read so finding books that are interesting to him can be a challenge. My son loves Pokemon so I figured I would give this book a try.
Well, the book came in and I gave it to my son, very excited about my surprise for him. He looked at it briefly and told me thanks, and then told me it was about ...
