Broken Clock 25 reviews
Stephen T Ripple
Amazon, 2007
I quickly realized that this wasn't your run-of-the-mill story....
Frank, Amy, Jerry, Vince and Alison are some of the quickly developed characters that produce a compelling, fast paced introduction to a horrific viral crisis. This first chapter draws me into a rich mesh of plots and people. I now want to know how the crisis enfolds, its outcome and what about the "warped family picture"?.
This chapter is creative, interesting and well articulated keeping a ...

Exceptional
This was a lovely book. It's rare when an author can come up with a truly unusual plot. This was different from genre romances in many wonderful ways. I highly recommend it.

A Trek to the Past
When Broken Glass Floats is the author's journey to find the magic of a world lost as a result of the Khmer Rouge. This book, as a personal account of the Khmer Rouge regime, is also my personal journey as a reader and a Khmer person.

Broken Paradise: A Novel21 reviews
Cecilia Samartin
Washington Square Press, 2008
Great Book!
This book has it all: historical and cultural insight, suspense, vivid imagery, characters that become real and a story that engages you from beginning to end. I was so incredibly disappointed for the book to end. I hated not being able to spend more time with these characters.
Be sure to read this author's second novel (Tarnished Beauty) as well. If you're not reading Cecilia Samartin you ...

this one doesn't dissapoint
This is one great book, but don't read it unless you've read 1-4, because you need the info from those books so your not too confused. Ryushi, along with Whist, continues his quest for revenge on his brother, Takami, for betraying Parakka and killing his father. Ryushi wants revenge, but he is not blinded by it, and he is being very careful, espesially since the untrustworthy and dangerous Whist ...

Helpful during a very difficult time
After our son was stillborn in April of 2006, we were looking for any support we could find. We went to the beach and I read this book out loud to my husband cover to cover in 1 day. Everything we were feeling was covered in this book. It was to the point and very validating. We referred to this book daily. I have purchased several of these for our support group and the hospital where our son was ...

Not My Turn to Die: Memoirs of a Broken Childhood in Bosnia15 reviews
Savo Heleta
AMACOM, 2008
simply amazing
This is possibly the best book there is,about Bosnian war, it is completely unbiased and sincere. I looked for ways to explain my feelings about the whole situation and Savo couln't have done a better job, he's given me words for unexplained feelings.
I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys a good read, not just to people that experienced the same thing. It is just amazing, and humbling.

Lauren Levine
Hanover Group, Inc., 2008
Beautifully done!
Unique story. A+ on originality. The Broken Meow really is a great book for toddlers, pre-K and early readers. The author understands young children and their craving for rhyming sounds. Rhyming expectations help guide and enhance both their auditory and visual skills. What a whimsical treat!

Kahlil Gibran

Absolutely beautiful!
Calling Kahlil Gibran a poet is an understatement and this short story proves it. It is a simple story but one that will break your heart. Still, you will be glad you read it...(experienced it rather)! It will take you to another world, another era, stimulate your mind and touch your heart.

International Baccalaureate
A truly moving book about the mission of the International Baccalaureate Organization. The ability to look at someone who looks different than you do, speaks a different language than you do, and believes in different values than you do and yet see yourself in that other person. That is what makes for a truly internationally minded human. Old turtle tells her story so well and in that story is ...

I have never cried so much reading a book in my entire life! And I don't simply mean I got a little choked up. I mean tears rolling freely down my face and even a sob here and there. This book was so touching, so sad, so happy, so... everything that pulls a woman's heartstrings.
The personalities were so fully formed, the fantasy world and characters so fantastically described, and the plot ...

Word genius
Twenty two of the essays appeared in THE NEW YORKER. White had candor. His piece on the death of his pig is masterful. He examined his own feelings and community reaction. The role of his dachshund, Fred, is described amusingly. It is no wonder White wrote so winningly for children.
In 1954 when he had no television he was looked upon as an eccentric. During Hurricane Edna radio worked ...

A story of true love
The first time I read the book it was difficult to put down, but it was more difficult for me to put it down the second time I read it. There are numerous Sufi jewels that are revealed in this book and I found that my own yearning was being fed. Tony speaks to my heart from his. His journey is a reflection/mirror of my own journey. I highly recommend this book for anyone wishing to sample a ...
