Every "American" must read this!!!!!!
After trying to understand for years even a small fraction of what is actually going on in Iraq and what happened in Fallujah, this book is a blessing. Not only is a it a great account to the things we all must know before we turn on CNN for the guide to our lives, it's also a great story in general.. It will steal you heart, if you have one. It's very easy to read and holds your attention ...

so exciting!!
John Marsden has done an excellent job creating a great and exciting story about friendship, war, and love. I have read all the books in this series and I was so mad when it ended. You feel so close to the charactors that when it's over, its heartbreaking. I wish I could meet every one of the charactors on the book. This series truly has changed my life. I've learned so much and it has changed ...

Just Buy It! Like, now!
If there was one book about the Beatles that you should be stranded on a desert island with, it would be this one. It is made up entirely of interviews, most of which are both new and not featured in the Anthology film. All the great personalities within the Beatles shine through. Ok, I'm going on out a limb, here, assuming that you haven't already gotten this book. It probably is a bit of ...

The Best Historical Novel I've Ever Read
I have read many historical novels about the medieval and renaissance periods and this is the best. I couldn't put the book down. It's been months since I read it, and I still think about it every day. What a great love story!

The first one I reach for
I have had this book for a few months and have made several recipes: black beans, bread pudding, meatloaf, a caramel sauce for a flan, chicken stock and oh, I can't even remember what else. Bottom line: this cookbook ROCKS!!! The details on HOW and WHY make for great bedtime reading (and yes, I DO have a life) and I am far more willing to try a recipe that has lots of ingredients and takes a ...

Great for ALL ages
This book is great for ALL ages! I originally read this book when it was given to my dad by a friend as he was starting his own business. And now I read it to my 18-month old, who seems to love it. Maybe it's the rhymes and the pictures that my little one loves so much right now, but the message of the book is great for ALL ages.

Judge the book on its own terms
Let me preface this by saying I was a classmate of John's at the Iowa Writers' Workshop in the mid-90's. I remember discussing several of the essays included in this collection, and being incredibly impressed with both the work and the author. The time, imagination, detail, obsession, intelligence, honesty and humble nature of both the essays and the essayist should at the very least inspire a ...

Simply Brilliant Book - A Must Read
John Dies at the End is by far the best book I've ever purchased on a whim from Amazon. I absolutely loved it, was shocked by how much I enjoyed it, and just reveled in that special shopping glow when you are rewarded far more for a purchase than what you shelled out for it. That being said, if anyone wants to buy my copy for the price reflected on Amazon now just send me a comment because the ...

Exceptionally good book
Start reading this engaging book at any place and you'll want to keep going. The author, John Robbins, passed over his heirship to the Baskin and Robbins ice cream success. Without condemning his father and uncle, he transformed his pain by knowing and seeing what too much ice cream and other animal based products do to people into a humanitarian masterpiece. The book carefully exposes (with ...

More Mitford mirth and miracles
Jan Karon's charming North Carolina small town belongs with the great places of fiction: Macondo, Faulkner's unspellable county, the Louisiana of James Lee Burke, Egypt, Maine, and Hillerman's New West. The sense of place is such a hallmark of this series. And she populates it with such knowable and knowing characters who linger long after the last page of each new book unwillingly, but ...

An Entire Community Destroyed by a Tragic Arson Fire
This is one Chicago tragedy that resonates with me strongly. My former attorney, recently deceased, was a survivor of the deadly fire at Our Lady of Angels Catholic School. Despite our shared interest in history, he never spoke of the fire during the twenty years in which I knew him. Last year, I found a web site maintained by survivors of the fire and questioned him about the inclusion of his ...
