The Inheritance (Penguin Classics)43 reviews
Louisa May Alcott

Penguin Classics, 1998

Now that's literature
What a spectacular book! I can't believe Louisa May Alcott wrote this at the age of seventeen. Without becoming unrealistic, the characters in The Inheritance embody all the generous, graceful, and gallant qualities that make our hearts skip a beat. Take a step back in time with this wonderful book; you won't be sorry you did!
  
  











  



  
Inheritance7 reviews
Natalie Danford

St. Martin's Griffin, 2008

Delightful journey
This is a delightful story that Natalie Danford has given us. The journey both across the miles and across the years is enticing, characters most believable. I read a review of this book many months ago and finally rewarded myself with the book. It would make a good movie as well, as we will probably see in the future.
  
  











  



  
Uncertain Inheritance, An: Writers on Caring for Family9 reviews
Nell Casey

William Morrow, 2007

This book is essential reading for every adult
Most of us are amateurs in caring for ill people. As one reviewer wrote, the burden of doing so "is apt to descend upon us like a blow from fate, stunning and unforeseen. ... [Then] something cracks open -- a father or a friend gets cancer, a mother succumbs to Alzheimer's, a husband has a terrible accident, a child dies -- and what Virginia Woolf once called "extreme reality" floods in." Any one ...
  
  











  



  
A Daughters Inheritance (Broadmoor Legacy, Book 1)7 reviews
Tracie Peterson, Judith Miller

Bethany House, 2008

Great Historical Fiction
This was a wonderful story. I especially liked that it was set in the area of the Thousand Islands, in New York. I traveled there several times and recognized the names of several landmarks in the book. The author's did a wonderful job of describing the landscape of the area. As for the storyline, I found it delightful. It gave insight into the hopes and dreams of high society women. This ...
  
  











  



  
The Boleyn Inheritance148 reviews
Philippa Gregory

Touchstone Books, 2007

Another can't put down from Philippa Gregory!
While not as excellent as The Other Boleyn Girl, The Boleyn Inheritance is a darn great read! It has intrigue, romance, murder, lust, betrayal, suspense, humor, irony....I read this 500 page book in 5 days, it kept me reading late at night. (Not something I do often with a toddler who wears me out during the day!) There wasn't a boring page through the entire thing- the 3 main characters Queen ...
  
  











  



  
Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance230 reviews
Barack Obama

Canongate Books, 2007

The Amazing Honest Journey of America's NEXT President
I found it interesting to read Barack's amazing book on the new amazon kindle. A new politics is what Obama preaches-a new e-reader is what I was consuming it on. All in all-a very modern experience. I was deeply moved by this story-an honest personal account of Obama's coming to grips with his very identity. Once you have read this it should be no surprise as to why Barack has become such a ...
  
  











  



  
The Inheritance of Loss141 reviews
Kiran Desai

Grove Press, 2006

A Reverse Passage to India Filled with Wit
If you like humorous books about how people live self-sabotaging lives to preserve their illusions of superiority, The Inheritance of Loss will delight you. If you prefer a novel that carries a strong plot line and significant developments you cannot predict, you'll wonder why anyone would read this book. As I read the book, I was reminded of P.G. Wodehouse's writing. Mr. Wodehouse's novels ...

Where Two Seas Met (Cheney & Shiloh: The Inheritance #1)24 reviews
Lynn Morris, Gilbert Morris

Bethany House, 2001

Encouragement by the best
I have read all of the Cheney Duvall series up until now, following each one with late nights as I can't put the book down. As we start the new series with the Irons-Winslow family, I'm excited about the new marriage and the new family that has been begun. I have read other of Gilbert Morris' books, and have loved each one. For those not interested in history, this is a great way to learn while ...
  
  











  



  
Rosamund (Friarsgate Inheritance, Book 1)25 reviews
Bertrice Small

Signet, 2004

An Engaging Story set in early 16th Century England
First of all, let me say that Bertrice Small is not your "average" romance author. Like life, things do not always turn out to be "happily ever after." The heroine can and sometimes does lose her beloved to death. (War, disease, accident, etc.) Also, some readers have complained about the character's ages. Allow me clarify something: Yes, Rosamund was married once at the age of six, and ...
  
  











  



  
The Schirmer Inheritance9 reviews
Eric Ambler

Vintage, 2003

Another excellent Ambler story
This seems to be less well-known than many of Ambler's other stories, but in my opinion is one of his best. It involves interesting insight into how people survived in the Balkans during WWII - and the dastardly things they did to those who didn't. I thought that the ending was very interesting and worth waiting for.
  
  











  



  
Their Hollow Inheritance: A Comprehensive Refutation of the New Testament and Its Missionaries4 reviews
Michael Drazin

Feldheim Pub, 1990

Read with an open mind.
The previous reviewer Daniel Owino is obviously upset by the contents of this book. I urge readers to make up their own minds. I take objection to the Mr. Owino's reference to "these people," referring of course to us - the Jews. And this sets the tone for his frantic antisemitic diatribe. Enjoy this book or not it's up to you. Shalom.
  
  











  



  
Eldest (Inheritance, Book 2)1483 reviews
Christopher Paolini

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007

Better than Alot of these reviews say
First- I am tired of reviewers expecting polished perfect books everytime- Ain't gonna happen.....This one was worth the money if you have read the first...a Better continuation than many experienced authors bring to the table and hopefully the third is better. Personally I was amazed that a teenager wrote these books- he will only get more experienced/better as he goes on.....Maybe it is sour ...
  
  











  



  
Iceman Inheritance : Prehistoric Sources of Western Man's Racism, Sexism and Aggression9 reviews
Michael Bradley

Kayode Publications, 1991

EXCELLENT BOOK
THIS BOOK IS FULL OF ALOT OF INTERESTING FACTS AS WELL AS PLAUSIBLE HYPOTHESIS ON HOW THE "CAUCASOID RACE" HAS COME TO DOMINATE THE WORLD THROUGH MILITARY MIGHT, FORCE, RESOURCE RAPE, AGGRESSION AND GENOCIDE. OF COURSE MANY WILL NOT AGREE WITH THE BOOK AND MANY WILL NOT READ IT. BUT IT IS VERY INTERESTING AND IT OFFERS A PERSUASIVE ARGUMENT TO THE EUROCENTRIC BRAINWASHING AND CULTURAL GENOCIDE ...

Laurel Leaf, 2006

Eragon
This book is amazing. I love the expression shown and how you can easily visualize everything.I couldn't wait to read the sequal. Now that I read Eldest, I'm even more interested and I feel that I want Brisnger to come out now.
  
  











  



  
Uncovering the mysteries of your hidden inheritance3 reviews
Robert Alan Balaicius

Sacred Truth Ministries, 2001

The best ,"Israel Truth", book I have read...
This book reveals important facts that have been pushed into a dark corner by today's society. Very well researched by Mr. Balaicius, the reader will be taken on a synopsis of the history of God's true chosen servant people. Included in this book are the symbols of Israel, Heraldry, and many more excellent topics including my favorite..."True Israel Hall of Fame", which is a list of the ...
