Agents of Innocence20 reviews
David Ignatius

W. W. Norton & Company, 1997

Even today this is a novel that shows how we should do business abroad.
Having spent time in the Middle East, I found this novel haunting with it's authenticity. I am sure Mr. Ignatius has taken some characters from real life and disguised them a bit. For anyone interested in how an intelligence officer operates in real life, Agents of Inocence is a must read. Kingmaker 		  
  







  
  
The Darkest Night: Two Sisters, a Brutal Murder, and the Loss of Innocence in a Small Town19 reviews
Ron Franscell

St. Martin's True Crime, 2008

An Excellent True Crime Book!
The author, Ron Francsell, was a boy himself when this brutal murder, rape, and abduction occurred in his picturesque hometown of Caspar, Wyoming in September 1973. I was in diapers then. His memories and research are first rate about Amy and Becky Burridge, two sisters, who go to the Thriftway market to pick up items for their mother. The author was wise not to change the names of anybody in the ... 		  
  







  
  
Songs of Innocence (Hard Case)17 reviews
Richard Aleas

Leisure Books, 2007

Fitting Sequel to the Celebrated 'Little Girl Lost'
'Little Girl Lost' was a very impressive debut by Richard Aleas. It was nominated for both Edgar and Shamus awards. Although the first book can stand on its own, 'Songs of Innocence' follows up John Blake's life, a former detective who lost his love in the first book. This book is darker, faster paced, and contains even more finely drawn characters than its predecessor. There are echoes of ... 		  
  







  
  
Carnal Innocence83 reviews
Nora Roberts

Bantam, 2000

Don't pick up this book if you want to sleep tonight!
Warning! Warning! Don't pick up this book if you want to sleep tonight! And lock the door while you're reading. My hands are still shaking from the incredibly shocking I-really-didn't-guess-the-killer finale! The clues are all there about a monster carving up young women and throwing them into the swamp. In hindsight, the killer's identity is completely obvious. But I guarantee this one will keep ... 		  
  







  
  
Actual Innocence: When Justice Goes Wrong and How to Make it Right15 reviews
Barry Scheck, Peter Neufeld, ...

NAL Trade, 2003

A Must Read
If you are at all involved in the criminal justice system or simply like watching Law & Order, this book is a MUST read. The authors are the founders of the Innocence Project, which strives to exonerate the wrongly convicted. Each chapter examines aspects of "what went wrong" in the convictions of people who are completely innocent. The authors also give detailed accounts of people they have ... 		  
  







  
  
From Innocence to Entitlement: A Love And Logic Cure for the Tragedy of Entitlement8 reviews
Jim Fay, Dawn Billings

Love & Logic Press, 2005

Excellent books!
All the books I've read by these guys are really good. They propose teaching kids about consequences--what they're going to experience in the REAL world. It's nothing to do with manipulation. Don't worry about "EmmerysMomma." She's young--she'll learn. 		  
  







  
  
The Age of Innocence (Barnes & Noble Classics)11 reviews
Edith Wharton

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2004

Wharton's Masterpiece
Edith Wharton escapes from a tendency to melodrama (a problem of her era) to create her masterpiece novel "Age of Innocence." Set in post-Civil War New York, she deliniates the mores and customs of the New York Social List with care and depth. Newland Archer is the protagonist, a true Greek tragic hero with a flaw. While Newland is a most upright, conventional young man, he harbors an urge to ... 		  
  







  
  
Stolen Innocence: My Story of Growing Up in a Polygamous Sect, Becoming a Teenage Bride, and Breaking Free of ...19 reviews
Elissa Wall, Lisa Pulitzer

William Morrow, 2008

Totally Mesmerizing
While I have read books by other wives who've left the FLDS, this one was different in that it was the story of the 14 year old who brought down Warren Jeffs. Though this storyline doesn't happen until the latter part of the book, you feel the tension and stress that she was put under to do what the "prophet" told her to do. There was no choice in the matter and as much as she said she wasn't ... 		  
  







  
  
The Awakened Mage (Kingmaker, Kingbreaker)18 reviews
Karen Miller

Orbit, 2007

Awesome finish.
The Innocent Mage introduced us to a Lur full of life, vibrant and peaceful. The Awakened Mage, however, takes us into a Lur where Morg, an immortal mage with a vendetta from beyond the Wall, may destroy everything that Asher, a simple Olken, has grown to love. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, and found myself enjoying this one just as much, if not more. Karen Miller proves ... 		  
  







  
  
The Taste of Innocence (Cynster Novels)28 reviews
Stephanie Laurens

Avon, 2007

Book Review
I thought the book was well written and I like that Ms Laurens includes the other members of the "Family" in her story but yet lets some of the Cynsters pop up on ocassion. Maybe they should "pop up" just a little more or maybe some of her future books should be various revisits of Devil, Scandal, Vane, Demon, Gabriel & Lucifer and how they are enjoying the married life! I have most of Ms ... 		  
  







  
  
The Age of Innocence (Oxford World's Classics)5 reviews
Edith Wharton

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

Not so innocent
Nobody knew the hypocrises of "old New York" better than Edith Wharton, and nobody portrayed them as well. In "The Age of Innocence," Wharton took readers on a trip through the stuffy upper crust of 1870s New York, wrapped up in a hopeless love affair. Newland Archer, of a wealthy old New York family, has become engaged to pretty, naive May. But as he tries to get their wedding date moved up, ... 		  
  







  
  
Beyond Innocence58 reviews
Emma Holly

Jove, 2001

Thouroughly Satisfying and Surprisingly Spicy Victorian Romance
Emma Holly is famous for writing erotica, so it was a bit suprising that this turned out to be a very traditional historical romance. There's just a pinch of extra spice here and there! Edward is a typical romance hero --strong, responsible, stuffy, someone who will deny himself to keep the people around him happy. Florence is the "usual suspect" as a heroine, innocent, brave, and well-mannered, ...

Not so innocent "Age"

In "The Age of Innocence," Wharton took readers on a trip through the stuffy upper crust of 1870s New York, wrapped up in a hopeless love affair.

Presumed Innocence1 review
Anne Higonnet, Rachel Lafo

DeCordova Museum, 2008

...Found Otherwise
Spanning several continents and encompassing nearly the entire history of photography, Presumed Innocence examines the other side of childhood through the eyes of some of the most notable photographers in the history of the art. Not too surprisingly from the title, the outlook leans towards the bleaker side, with many of the youths pictured appearing wise, worldly, and sometimes merely old beyond ...

Journey Toward Justice14 reviews
Dennis Fritz

Seven Locks Press, 2006

a powerful story that needs to be told
It is unfortunately true that many innocent people are convicted, sometimes by prosecutors who bend the law (often by hiding evidence) to gain those convictions. There is significant documentation of such improper convictions, in a series by the Chicago Tribune, in a study by Columbia Law School, in the book "In Spite of Innocence," and in the marvelous work of Barry Scheck and his colleagues ...

Author writes about rediscovering the wonder and joys of life. Based on his own experiences including death of his father, first love, a family suicide and other compelling stories, Izzo cheers you on to reconnect with and learn from your own life stories. It can be difficult at times to maintain optimism and grace in a world filled with cynicism but Izzo's inspirational book certainly helps ... 		  
  







  
  
The Age of Innocence60 reviews
David Hamilton

Aurum Press, 1992

Beautiful Subjects
Physical beauty is something that we have for only a brief period in our lives. It is a temporary stage during our lifespan. Unfortunately, we discourage young women from sharing their physical beauty with others who can appreciate it. It really is quite a shame that we try to enforce modesty. David Hamilton gave us this gift so that we may be able to share his admiration for the young, ... 		  
  







  
  
Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience (Dover Thrift Editions)4 reviews
William Blake

Dover Publications, 1992

The Human Abstract in Mystical Form
William Blake is one of the giants of poetry. He is often overlooked because of the obliqueness of many of his poems. But this affordable (read: cheap) collection of poems is well worth the price of admission. Most of Blakes most famous and well loved poems are included in this volume. Most of us had to read at least a couple of these poems in school. The Tyger still stands as one of the ... 		  
  







  
  
Innocence12 reviews
David Hosp

Grand Central Publishing, 2007

a GREAT page-turner!
Finally, a proclaimed page-turner that really was just that. I read it in three days, and it did keep me up long past my normal bedtime hour. I loved this novel. Good writing, great characters, a plot that always moves, and a thriller that is almost believable! This author has been compared to Grisham and Baldacci. I'm not sure that the comparison is quite right. Innocence is much better ...
