is this the garden?
I was looking for the garden, but I guess since I am here I will tell you about this book. This book is unbridled imagination. If imagination were a horse, this book would be a pretty white horse in the middle of Mall of America, shy and blushing a little, alone and unable to handle the existential anxiety of free will. The horse would headbutt a Jamba Juice stand, then apologize, then ...

A Crack in Everything

didn't want to put it down
A Crack in Everything features a swiftly moving plot combined with deft descriptions of its characters and their emotional worlds. Ingram succeeds in stirring deep feelings yet never allows the narrative to flag. I was always curious about what would happen next, and while the author sometimes surprised, she never disappointed. The novel spans the globe from rural Ireland to fast-paced LA ...

Nonpareil
Crack's two books, Basic Black-Scholes and Heard On The Street, are masterpieces of condensed ,focused instruction for those who need to know. There is also an atmosphere of scintillating competence projected on the reader. Some of the anecdotes in Heard On The Street are hilarious; add to this the requirement that you must keep your wits about you at all times when reading these primers and ...

I first started this book when my mom read it to me when I was very young. Now it is one of my favorites. It is hillarious, exiting, and touching all at the same time. If you want a book to read to your kids this is it!

Waking Dream Press, 2008

Your funny bone needs this book.
The only prerequisite for reading "Cracks" is a sense of humor. Besides laughing out loud and irritating the surrounding company you will be presented for many a philosophical truth. As Maxie says, "Keep your sh-t together. You win a few, you lose a few." Ain't it the truth!? What's the fuss about Ginger? The true heroine of this story is old Auntie Maxie. This stoic 93 year old maiden ...

An interesting read
I'm a sociology undergrad and was asked to read this book. While many sociology books that I've read are dry and difficult to get through, The Career Mystique is straightforward, with clear and easy-to-understand examples. More than that, this book forced me to look beyond the relative ease of the predicted, calculated, college life to what lerks beyond, namly trying to balance a career and a ...

Kiyo Sato

Willow Valley Press, 2007

An Uplifting Story of Family Survival
Readers might expect a book about being banished to an internment camp to be depressing, but Dandelion is not the story you would expect. First and foremost, it's a heartwarming story about an American immigrant family's daily life on the family farm in Sacramento. Here you have the young man, Shinji Sato, coming to America with nothing, working as a farm laborer to make a living and save for ...

Harrowing
Looking through some old books in my Attic, I happened upon this novel; first released back in 1995.It chronicles the down-ward spiral of a young Man with hopes an dreams, into a never ending slide towards his worse nightmare, a walking, Zombie. This is a harrowing depressing read, which I've often thought would make a great movie. It written in a very matter of fact way (Mr. Snell is an actor by ...

Camroc Press, LLC, 2007

A Must-read for Anyone Who Appreciates American History
Tom Brokaw told us people like Charles Scheffel were members of the "Greatest Generation," and, when you read this story of the young man who worked his way out of the Depression and through college, you'll understand why. Barry Basden has done historians a huge favor in his effort to tell Charlie's story of fighting through North Africa, Sicily, and Europe as an infantry officer. This isn't ...

Through The Cracks
Through The Cracks is the most powerful book I have encountered in my 25 years in education. It is in storybook format but its greatest impact will be when this book is shared with educators, parents, and communities who desire to see education become what it is meant to be - active, involved, exciting, and fun. I have read this book aloud to hundreds of educators in college classrooms and ...

If you love Africa this is a great read!
My mother grew up in Kenya so this book was a must for me to read. Elizabeth McDougall captures the essence of life in Kenya during that time period perfectly. The story unfolds deliciously and I couldn't put the book down. I highly recommend this book.

Titus Bass; A man you'd be proud to call friend...
I've loved Johnston's books as I have read them all; however,the books with Titus Bass have come to be a truly special experience that is rare. Titus Bass is the kind of man you what for a friend. A person to trust and count on when life isn't going perfect. It's both sad and happy to read (even though not real)about a man of the mountains that you'd wish to share his time and space; proud to ...

Michael Levine, Laura Kavanau-Levine

Thunder's Mouth Pr, 1993

Was This Book "Privished?"
Note that this review is 4 years after publication... four years of silence. A book that tears the mask off the fraudulent "War on Drugs". It exposes the growth of the war from two (highly mutually destructive) agencies in 1971 (Customs and DEA) to 55 and counting. It describes very extensive, high-volume CIA involvement in smuggling itself to obtain unaccountable funding. It documents the ...

Bodacious: An AOL Insider Cracks the Code to Outrageous Success for Women

Mary Foley, Martha I. Finney

AMACOM, 2001

Packed with Knowledge!
Many of the ideas in "bodacious" will sound familiar, since Mary Foley is advising women to be more assertive, strategic, competitive and political. It's the formula men have long used to get ahead, but Foley addresses her counsel directly to women, along with tips on how to overcome traditional ideals about acting feminine. Hardnosed or not, Foley writes in an engaging way, as she combines ...

A conservative Republicans' solution to our drug problems
Our current administration is fond of dismissing its critics by labeling THEM as extremists. The Whitewater investigators are part of a "right-wing conspiracy." Those who criticize the under-the-desk-activities at the Oval Office are simply venting their wrath against people from Arkansas, and those who oppose the failed War on Drugs are "fringe groups." With each passing day, this tactic ...

Powerful read
There's something about Christmas in the city. The lights, the shopping, the darkness. December is the darkest month of the year. KL uses wonderful imagery to describe the life of Iggy, who you care and root for, but it is December, and Iggy is surrounded by darkness. Yet, around every corner, a light. It's refreshing to read a book where drugs play a role, but don't get a hundred pages in ...
