The Catcher in the Rye (Cliffs Notes)
The CliffsNotes are very helpful in its explanation(s) of the chapters and characters. I especially found the literary summaries helpful.

Baby Catcher: Chronicles of a Modern Midwife125 reviews
Peggy Vincent
Scribner, 2003
Moving and Informative
I've read several births on midwifery and Peggy Vincent's is by far one of the most readable in terms of reaching a broad audience. If you reach for a midwifery book, in general you are pregnant and considering it as a birth option or interested in midwifery itself. There aren't a lot of general interest readers but Vincent's book is in a position to change it. It is both a memoir of a powerful ...

The Catcher in the Rye 2761 reviews
J.D. Salinger
Back Bay Books, 2001
Where do the Ducks Go?
In the beginning, I admit I did not like Holden Caulfield. I felt I couldn't relate to him. After the first 15 chapters that changed. I realized that, boy oh boy, I am way too much like Holden Caulfield. So much that I almost want to post a list of how we are alike, but that is not the point of reviews and I doubt it would be interesting reading. There are few eye-opening moments in Catcher in ...

Angel Catcher: A Journal of Loss and Remembrance25 reviews
Kathy Eldon
Chronicle Books, 2007
Cleanse your soul with this journal!
One of my friends gave me this journal after the death of my father in 1998. It has helped me "cleanse my soul" of the grief and heartache and pain of losing someone who your world revolves around. It has helped me so much so, that I have purchased large quantities of these journals to give to people as my own personal ministry to them. Somehow the "giving" of these journals makes my father's ...

The Catcher Was a Spy: The Mysterious Life of Moe Berg 25 reviews
Nicholas Dawidoff
Vintage, 1995
A REAL-LIFE JOHN LE CARRE CHARACTER
Moe Berg is truly one of the most interesting, and enigmatic, characters in sports history. What always fascinated me was how, after WWII and no longer in baseball, Berg never worked. He would stay at friends and relatives' homes throughout the country, reading multiple newspapers, and maintaining strict control of those papers. My guess, and this would make for an interesting investigative ...

The Catcher in the Rye 8 reviews
J.D. Salinger
Bantam, 1966
A timeless classic worth reading
I write this review having to look back almost 20 years when I read this book as a child. At an age when I found it difficult to engross myself in fiction (I simply did not read a lot as a child), I traversed through this book with interest.
Unless you have issues with the course language, you should anticipate an amusing account of events as Holden is thrown out of prep school. The tale ...

Marianne Wiggins

A Deep, Multi-Layered, Introspective Literary Masterpiece
This story weaves the past (1850-1950) and the present (post 9-11) where Wiggins, the author and also the narrator, tells the story of the legendary (but complicated) life of photographer Edward Curtis (and his family) along with her own introspective and retrospective look at her father's life. Both men were in search...were on the run...were absent and disappearing fathers...who left a trail ...

Angel Catcher for Kids: A Journal to Help You Remember the Person You Love Who Died5 reviews
Amy Eldon
Chronicle Books, 2002
Must buy for a grieving child
I just bought this book and I would call it phenomonal! My kids will love using it to remember their beloved cousin. I highly recommend it to parents of kids who have lost someone close to them. It is sort of like a scrapbook with lots of room for journaling. It will be a treasure and keepsake for life.

THE CATCHER IN THE RYE, J.D. SALINGER
I FOUND THE BOOK RELATEABLE TO REAL LIFE SITUTAIONS.THE LANGUAGE USED WAS INTRESTING BECAUSE MANY TEENAGERS DO SPEAK THIS WAY, AND CAN UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF VIEW HE IS COMIMG OUT WITH. THE BOOK IS VERY STRONG, THE POINTS THAT ARE BEING MADE ARE VERY HARD HITTING, IN DEPTH, AND THE MESSAGE WAS WRITTEN TO GET THE POINT STRAIGHT ACROSS. I DON'T READ BOOKS I FIND THEM TO BE BORING, I READ PORTRY ...

Soul Catcher: A Novel (P.S.)18 reviews
Michael C. White
Harper Perennial, 2008
Fabulous story about redemption
I could not put this book down. The background details were almost as wonderful as the characters, but the pace of the book never lagged.
When Cain finally "humanizes" one of the slaves he captures, the trail to redemption is fascinating.
I really liked "Garden of Martyrs" but I LOVED this one. Also historical detail seemed accurate.
I hope some movie producer picks this one up....it would ...

The God Catchers Workbook: Experiencing the Manifest Presence of God5 reviews
Tommy Tenney
Thomas Nelson, 2008
A Prophetic Look at the Current State of the Church
This book is what I needed to hear. With tears in my eyes, I read that the frustration I was feeling, that the whole Church is feeling, is because the Church, and myself, are pregnant with the purposes of God. We are in just the right position to receive His anointing (p. 165). Tommy Tenney has more than bested his earlier blockbuster--The God Chasers. Chasers was a must read book. Catchers is an ...

Jove, 1986
In His Own Words, The Man Who Made Mediocrity Famous
Bob Uecker was not a great baseball player, but he is an entertaining man. Still doing play by play for his hometown Brewers, Uecker is still a recognizable member of the baseball landscape. He is recognizable for his sense of self-deprecating humor, not his baseball talent.
From growing up in Milwaukee to breaking-in with his hometown team on the field than in the booth, Uecker collected ...

This was a terrific story with strong characters, mystery, romance, and action.
The Bullet Catcher Series:
Kill Me Twice
Thrill Me To Death
Take Me Tonight
I'm always excited when I find a new author to add to my home library. Roxanne St. Claire can really tell a story. Her descriptions of the locations in the tale are vivid without being too wordy. Her characters are well developed and realistic. There is plenty of mystery and lots of fast- paced scenes to ...
