Learning from the Heart: Lessons on Living, Loving, and Listening

Daniel Gottlieb

Sterling, 2008

What Does it Mean to be Human?
Daniel Gottlieb is one of the most compassionate souls I have ever "met." A trained psychologist, Gottlieb was in an accident in 1979 when he was 33 years old and was rendered a quadriplegic. Shortly following his accident, he "began to wonder what it really meant to be human." What follows are stories and what he learns about himself, friends, family and patients. Gottlieb began to ...

Listening Library, 1999

Please don't summarize!
I loved this book and read it in two days and began the next immediately. One thing that troubles me -- about many amazon reviews -- is that they are NOT reviews. Person after person summarizes the story (which is, basically, summarized in the official editorial paragraph. WHY OH WHY does everyone do this! WHy not just say what you liked/disliked and why? Rowling uses EXQUISITE VOCABULARY ...

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban book 3
Like the first two Harry Potter books this book is great, it is in this book that parents should beware; it starts to have a few more moments that might scare the younger reader, it takes on a darker side as Harry ages and Voldemort begins to gain his power back, Definately makes you want to continue to read the complete set, this is my second time thru the books and I never tire of reading ...

Great saga
I saw the preview for this movie on the MTV Movie Awards and thought it looked pretty good. After reading a few reviews I decided to read the book since the movie wont be out until the end of this year. I am so glad I did. Ive read all three of the saga books in the last 3 weeks and am anxiously awaiting Breaking Dawn in August.

J.K. Rowling

Listening Library (Audio), 2005

Amazing - it keeps getting better!
It really does keep getting better - every new book becomes my new favorite. Favorite scene: Felix Felicis/Slughorn/Harry gets the memory. And of course the kiss. And the cave. And pretty much the whole book. The death scene was the most devastating thing I have ever read. You really become emotionally invested in the characters. For the first time ever, I started re-reading the book immediately ...

The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century

Alex Ross

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007

The Pedantic Mister Alex Ross
I've decided to give this book four stars for a number of reasons, including its highly informative content, its ability to transform and inspire the reader to become a musicologist in the model of the author, and its ability to make obscure, avant-garde pieces of music actually stand out with true color. Despite these positive assessments, I wish to briefly underline why I'm not giving this ...

Love & Logic Press, 2002

Lots of great ideas
I really enjoyed this book. It gave me lots of different ideas on how to discipline my toddler while still delivering lots of affirmation. Some of it is fairly obvious, but it's nice to read that it still works!

A stunning conclusion to a truly amazing series
I don't even know where to begin. These books have touched my life and I am so grateful JK Rowling took the chance and persevered in getting Book 1 published. Book 7 is a stunning conclusion to a truly amazing series, and definitely my favorite of all 7 books. I got the book at midnight and finished it 12 hours later. Then I went to sleep, got up and started re-reading it more slowly. I don't ...

The Amber Spyglass-Audio CD
Pulman's are some of the best audio tapes out there. He has an entire cast of readers, and reads most of it himself. There are musical interludes between chapters, and they are incredibly easy to follow. I have taught gifted children with the Golden Compass, and have read the others with my own child. A hearty THUMBS UP! to Pulman's audio CDs.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
This was the best Harry Potter book by far! It has TONS of action. If you hate it then I don't know what to say except that we all have our own opinions (Okay, that sounded really cheesy but it was the only thing I could think of.). Overall, it is a pretty AWESOME book. Oh, and to all you people that say that it is too violent, then you have probably have never read any of the Maximum Ride books. ...
