The Pact57 reviews
Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, ...

Riverhead Trade, 2003

A Review by Lacy Peters
The Pact is about three young men who lived in the projects around drugs and peer pressure from old friends who did not want anything out of life. So George and Sam and Rameck made a pact to go to college. The young men had positive people in their lives, like a teacher, a friend's father, and a dentist. I would recommend this book to other people because the book tells how three young men made a ...
  
  











  



  
Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Fourth Edition25 reviews
David L. Nelson, Michael M. Cox

W. H. Freeman, 2004

Very complete biochemistry textbook
What I like the most about this book is that it contains almost all the information that you need to understand biochemistry, information that is not traditionally covered in biochemistry books, but that is needed as background to a complete understanding of the subject. For instance, the first chapter of this book gives background information on the biological, chemical, genetics, evolution ...
  
  











  



  
The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master127 reviews
Andrew Hunt, David Thomas

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1999

A Fork in the Road of my Career
Since I was young I wanted to be a programmer. I got my first development job only a few years ago, and have spent much of my free time reading blogs and the like. The problem with that was there were too many conflicting schools of thought on too many different methodologies and practices. I found this book only a few months ago, and poured through its pages. After finishing it, my ...

Another Bowden Thriller
The full story of the life and times of Pablo Escobar: from his early life of crime as a headstone thief to his brutal rise to the pinnacle of the Medellin drug cartel. Most of the story however, is about how the joint military and intelligence Task Force eventually cornered and killed the drug Kingpin.

Getting the Love You Want Workbook: The New Couples' Study Guide8 reviews
Harville, PhD Hendrix, Helen, Ph.D. Hunt

Atria, 2004

Growth is potentially risky
This is, in part a response to the review by Abashed. As someone who has done both self-directed couple growth exercises and counselor directed exercises, I can say that the book probably needs to be used with a degree of caution. I certainly intend to buy and use a copy. BUT, I am aware that if, as we use the exercises, a potential problem starts to surface -- then it is time to seek a ...

Marjorie M. Liu

Ace, 2008

Excellent - highly highly recommended
I have been eagerly waiting for this book by Marjorie M. Liu ever since I read the prequel in the Wild Thing Anthology. It did not disappoint. It was excellent! Kudo's Ms. Liu. This is an amazing book and the start of an amazing series. I loved it. Highly recommended! The only disappointment is now I have such a long time to wait for the next one!

The Mysterious Benedict Society, a group of four children created to thwart the plans of the evil genius Ledroptha Curtain, is fresh off their great victory. The "brainswept" are slowly having their memories returned and everything seems like it should be getting back to normal. It should be the perfect happy ending, yet happy endings are rarely so simple... All is not well for the Mysterious ...
  
  











  



  
Big Truths for Little Kids: Teaching Your Children to Live for God17 reviews
Susan Hunt, Richie Hunt

Crossway Books, 1999

A Superb Children Cathecism Book
I do not regret it a bit when I decided to go ahead and read this book myself, as a result of one of the boys in my class whom it was intended for as a Christmas gift did not show up last year. I just wish I knew about it earlier and had the privilege to use it as the `textbook' for the class. Though I have a minimum exposure to Christian children education curriculum, I would consider this book ...
  
  











  



  
The Invention of Everything Else11 reviews
Samantha Hunt

Houghton Mifflin, 2008

Wonderful Atmosphere
The fact that Nikola Tesla--one of the great, neglected scientific geniuses--is a major character in this novel is what first brought me to it. That, and the fact that it is comparatively brief. Not knowing anything of Ms. Hunt, I wasn't sure what I would be getting myself into and this seemed like a relatively minor risk. Turns out, this novel greatly exceeded my expectations. This is a ...
  
  











  



  
My ABC Bible Verses: Hiding God's Word in Little Hearts29 reviews
Susan Hunt

Crossway Books, 1998

An excellent purchase!
I am so glad a friend recommended this book! My 3 1/2 year old daughter loves the stories and is learning the Bible verses too. This is actually the only children's book I have seen that talks about the Holy Spirit and His role in recalling Scripture to mind, prompting us to make right choices, etc. This was a great purchase and I definately feel it is playing a key role in my discipleship of ...
  
  











  



  
Across Five Aprils205 reviews
Irene Hunt

Berkley, 2002

A Story About Family and War
When I read the book, Across Five Aprils, the book kept me interested throughout the story. I can see a clear picture of the Civil War;hungry soldiers and hardworking farmers. Across Five Aprils is a story about the Civil War through the eyes of a nine year old boy,Jethro. I remember the part when Jethro's favorite brother,Bill leaves to fight with the South. I can feel the pain. I can picture ...

Roger Conant, Joseph T. Collins

Houghton Mifflin, 1998

Excellent for identification of reptiles and amphibians
I live in North Carolina and I have been able to identify all the snakes, lizards, turtles, and frogs that I have found using this book. Good descriptions and photos to help you tell the difference between different species.

Blues by the Bar: Cool Riffs That Sound Great over Each Portion of the Blues Progression16 reviews

Cherry Lane Music, 2002

Great Blues Teacher
I have been playing for over 35 years, taught and played professionally. This book is the real deal. If you want a book that will show you riffs and how to put them together then this is it. The riffs are arranged in 2 bar phrases that are sections of the the 12 bar blues form. You can pretty much use any 2 bar phrase in conjunction with any combination of 5 other 2 bar phrases to make a solo. ...
  
  











  



  
The Eye of the World (The Wheel of Time, Book 1)1687 reviews
Robert Jordan

Tor Fantasy, 1990

How to Read the "Wheel of Time" series
In 1990, I picked up a book by a writer named Robert Jordan, who was mainly known among fans of fantasy for the Conan novels he penned, which were among my favorites at the time. I bought it without a moment's hesitation and loved it. The Eye of the World followed the classic formula high fantasy had been treading since Tolkien wrote of hobbits leaving the Shire with Nazgul in pursuit. Getting ...
  
  











  



  
Hunt Country Style6 reviews
Kathryn Masson

Rizzoli, 2008

Talley Home!
This book does not disappoint in photography and text as it samples some beautiful Virginia Hunt Country homes and farms. A brief historical and chronological chapter heading of each featured home is included at the top of the page. The text is interesting without being tedious and there are enough beautiful photographs of each property's interiors and exteriors to leave one completely satisfied. ...
  
  











  



  
At the Bride Hunt Ball (Avon Romance)13 reviews
Olivia Parker

Avon, 2008

Everything I look for in a romance
I thought this book was delightful--my only real disappointment is that it is her first, and therefore I cannot go out and buy another. I won't summarize the plot [sorry that this means a lot of generalizations...], so don't worry about spoilers here! To my surprise, I found all the characters I was expected to like to be genuinely likable, and those I shouldn't, I didn't [too often in ...
  
  











  



  
We're Going on a Bear Hunt54 reviews
Michael Rosen

Aladdin, 2003

Children's classic
Quite simply a children's classic. My 2.5year old loves this book. We also recommend checking out the Michael Rosen reading of this book on You Tube.
  
  











  



  
Ice Hunt97 reviews
James Rollins

Harper, 2004

Most underrated Rollins book
This is certainly one of Rollins best books. I don't think it gets the proper amount of respect it deserves. It contains great adventure, some of his best action scenes, good characters that you cheer for, great science and intrigue, and of course x-files type monsters. Rollins has kind of gotten away from his monsters in recent Sigma Force novels, which is okay, but they are always fun. This ...
