7 reviews

Cracked Bell Publishing, 2008

Something for everybody
I thoroughly enjoyed this diverse collection of pieces about different states of body beingness. I didn't read it cover to cover but rather jumped around, beginning with what subjects felt most relevant to me, and soon found that all contributions had something vital to offer. I appreciated most of all the vivid descriptions of daily life, like the sounds and smells of Karen Myers' climb up a ...

The City Visible: Chicago Poetry for the New Century

Allegrezza

Cracked Slab Books, 2007

Chicago A to Z
Anthologies are tricky beasts, since readers will always pan in on what's wrong with them. BAY POETICS for example does a lovely job of presenting a farflung panoply of Bay Area writers, but some have nevertheless complained that it's clubby, too consistent. Chicago-based poets William Allegrezza and Ray Bianchi have complicated their own job by re-imagining their subject in various ways, ...

All Cracked Up
It's a funny yet serious book.....I have bought one and sent it to a friend. Mine I read then share with others, Pass Around the Good Feelings You Get From Reading Them. This was a great great book that I think any woman can relate too, and leaves you smiling.

DAW Hardcover, 2006

Excellent!!!!
This book was better then the first. I won't go into plot detail here, but I will say buy this book. Varis is starting to come into her own now. She is still sorting out her allies and enemies (and those in between). I love the fact that she is still the same person. The Varis that was living in the Dredge is still the Varis that rules Amenkor, only more worldly...or should I say experienced. I ...

Eggbert, the Slightly Cracked Egg

Topeka Bindery, 2003

colorful artwork, great story to go with it
This is an enjoyable book for kids of all ages to enjoy. The art work is hilarious! Celery stands with arms akimbo along with the other angry vegetables who throw Eggbert out of his home in the refrigerator, into the world. It is a message of hope and acceptance of yourself that spans the ages. I bought it because I fanned through the book and loved the art work, but the story that goes with ...

Cracked Corn and Snow Ice Cream: A Family Almanac

Nancy Willard, Jane Dyer, 1997

Cracked Corn and Snow Ice Cream
This precious book caught my eye mainly because of the "snow ice cream" in the title! How fondly I remember my mother scooping up great heaps of freshly fallen snow to make that wonderful treat! And in this book we have the RECIPE! I bought the book as a gift for a 10-year-old girl who lives on a farm, plus an extra copy for myself! There are many, many wonderful thoughts, facts, pictures, ...

The Cracked Pot: Finding Grace in the Cracks of Childhood Abuse

Jim Cyr

Aventine Press, 2007

A shining testimonial to grace
Few people have gone through what Jim Cyr did as a child. The fact that he survived, and has created a successful life for himself, is a testimoy to grace. This book is shocking in mnay ways, but Jim is as graphic about the way to his healing as he is about the horrors he experienced. The stories he shares, and how they helped him heal, are especially fresh. Searing in its honesty, without a hint ...

Cracked Earth (Jack Liffey Mystery)

John Shannon

Berkley, 1999

Much More than a Whodunnit!
John Shannon has proven to be a master at crime fiction, as he develops his characters with sympathy and understanding. Those who are interested primarily in chases and mayhem may not find this book worthwhile, but those who appreciate character development, humor and intelligence in a novel will very much enjoy it. I'm looking forward to reading other books by John Shannon.

iUniverse, Inc., 2006

What? No audio?
I wanted this book in audio but since it wasn't available I was forced to actually READ it, as it was recommended by a friend. I'M SO GLAD I DID! This book sticks to the theme that sometimes life just isn't fair but the challenge of fixing it becomes a bigger issue and provides a moral to this story. This was tough subject matter but artfully written. I was overwhelmed with feelings of ...

Kathryn S. Mahoney

Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishing, 2005

Cracked me up!
Some lives were just made to be made fun of. Some lives are so wacky, so silly, so undeniably cracked up, you just can't help but chuckle. Kathryn S. Mahoney is living one of those lives. Kathryn Mahoney, who thinks she was CRACKED AT BIRTH, takes time to sit back and good naturedly marvel at the absurdity in her life. And, like the next door neighbor who keeps us in stitches with her zany ...

Stacy Hawkins Adams, Kendra Norman-Bellamy, ...

Kimani Press, 2008

A trio of wonderful stories
I'm an avid male reader and have been a die-hard Kendra Norman Bellamy fan for years now. So she's the real reason I purchased this book. But all of the stories are extremely well written and quite engaging. I think Kendra's is the best but I'm probably being bias. What can I say? I can't help but love the strong men that she creates in her stories.

Volo, 2002

Twain's classic
Once again Devin and his pal-for-life-even-if-she-is-a-girl Francine "Frankie" Lang find them ill-prepared for a literature test. They decide to once again use the library's mysterious zapper gates to get them into the story---which just happens to be The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Once again the two find themselves swept up into Twain's classic. Both soon find out that Tom is pretty much like ...

Kilo Watts

Cracked Heart Publishing, 2003

An intelligent, humorous, yet practical cookbook
This book called out to me from the shelf of a local store (in New Orleans). The cover is a little shocking at first glance, but that only made me want to read the introduction which was entertaining. I thought I'd just flip through it---but alas it's not just a novelty book. I've actually tried a few of these recipes and they work (good honest hearty chow). What's best about this cookbook is ...

Dr. Drew; Gold, Todd Pinsky

Harper-collins Publishers, 2003

This book is real and good
Dr. Drew Pinsky provides an honest, vulnerable look. The honesty itself was the best part. I really got to experience the circumstances he wrote about. I found myself crying along with the Author and walking through some of the same feelings he described he had. I was left in a very good place after finishing this book. I have never been so moved as to write a reveiw for anyother book. If ...

Cracked Coverage: Television News, The Anti-Cocaine Crusade, and the Reagan Legacy

1 review
Jimmie Reeves, Richard Campbell

Duke University Press, 1994

A brilliant piece of work.
Reeves and Campbell cut through all of the drug war crap in this superb cultural analysis. The role of the news -- especially the television network news -- is clear in the creation of a major "drug problem" and the need for a war on drugs. Need to know why the jails are overflowing with drug users? As this book points out, the Reagan-era news loved this "lock 'em up" story.

Cracked Crystals

Zumaya Publications, 2004

Erotic light mystery
Reviewed by Tyler R. Tichelaar for Reader Views (3/07) "Cracked Crystals," by Larry Rochelle, is the third in a series of eight mystery novels with Palmer Morel as the main character; however, the book can be read without having read the previous two novels. Oddly, nowhere on the book does it mention it is part of a series--I only learned that from the publisher's website. Several references ...

Regent Press, 2005

The Hardships of Growing up in Iran
Cracked Pomegranate - Author: Fae Bidgoli Regent Press 2006 ISBN #1-58790-122-6 This is a first novel by author Fae Bidgoli. It is semi-autobiographical, and very much a "coming of age" story. It is also a compelling story of how women relate to each other, and how the generations connect. While the setting is far from anything that most of us could comprehend (Bidgoli was born in ...

Amy Biancolli

Lulu.com, 2004

Wonderful for all readers
I knew some of the people in this book, so it was with deep interest that I read it, and couldn't put the book down. I shared the book with others for whom it was not a usual choice and they loved it too. A great read, and a funny, moving and profound book.

Volo, 2003

Crushing on a Capulet
Wow! This story has certainly made an impact on my children. Even at 6 & 8 they came away with a good understanding of what a tragedy is...the style of Shakespeare and the classic quotes from Romeo & Juliet. I even learned more. The jokes made us laugh out loud and yet by the end we had tears in our eyes. I only hope that more will be published on like classics as it was a wonderful way to ...
