The College Solution: A Guide for Everyone Looking for the Right School at the Right Price

6 reviews
Lynn O'Shaughnessy

FT Press, 2008

A must-have for every parent with a (hopefully) college-bound kid
As a mother of a HS junior who attends a local school in France, I have to take a more active role with the US college search since his school has no guidance counselor and there are no college road shows in the vicinity. I find myself reliant on word of mouth and written sources : guidebooks, blogs ,, newspaper articles, books /websites & advice and have invested the better part of son's junior ...

Looking for Anne of Green Gables: The Story of L. M. Montgomery and Her Literary Classic

Irene Gammel

St. Martin's Press, 2008

The definitive study of how Anne of Green Gables came about.
I recently made a trip to Prince Edward Island and picked up a number of books related to L.M. Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables. I actually had passed on this one because I saw that Amazon had such a fantastic price on it. Anyway, as an Anne of Green Gables and L.M. Montgomery junkie, I've read practically every book on Maud and her work and this one is by far the best. The research in this ...

Wadsworth Publishing, 2004

A manual for all
I will suggest this manual to every couple, especially the newly wed, even before suggesting any "how to ..my babie". I wish I had this book 40 years ago, most of my troubles would have never come. Many manuals out there, such "How to satisfy your woman/man" and such are just the mechanics of human relation, this is its soul. Matter of fact I will bring a copy to Italy next May to two newly wed ...

Finally a cookbook of normal food for vegans!
Does lasagna, potatoes au gratin, or a brownie sound good? I thought so! This cookbook has includes a wide range of foods that are fantastic every-day choices. Another plus is that most of the ingredients are repetitive so you can stock your pantry and have some pretty versitile menu options. Below are the sections: Breakfasts PMS Snacks Appetizers Soups & Stews Salads Sandwiches ...

Great book
This book had all the information I needed. I am a graduate student working on a dissertation in health care, I found the background and theory very useful.

Practical, pointed, real
I never thought of Jesus this way. This book broke down how to be a great leader. It is a must read for any leader.

Looking For Trouble: Adventures in a Broken World

10 reviews
Ralph Peters

Stackpole Books, 2008

A great adventure from a master story-teller
Ralph Peter's book should be required reading for every Marxism-besotted and multiculturalism-drunk humanities department in the United States. He stumbled upon an elemental truth in a youthful visit to Tito's Yugoslavia with its communism-lite: "There was nothing like firsthand exposure to the dialectical materialism to teach that the dialectic rarely delivered the material. Leftist rhetoric ...

Looking for Alaska

John Green

Puffin, 2006

Greatest Book~*~* MUST READ
Looking for Alaska by John Green, is an amazing book. I was a little apprehensive about reading it with my 10th graders, but they immediately fell in love with the book. For some of them, this was the first book they've ever finished, and at age 15-16 I think that speaks for itself. You get so wrapped up in this book, you laugh, you cry, and you look at your own life. As soon as I ...

Looking Beyond the Ivy League: Finding the College That's Right for You

Loren Pope

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Gives another perspective on the college search
My son is in high school and is beginning to look at colleges. He is an above-average but not exceptional student -- takes challenging courses (AP, intensified, etc.) but has around a 3.3 GPA unweighted. I myself was mesmerized by "selective" colleges when I was a college shopper 25 years ago, especially if they had gorgeous, traditional campuses. The more steeped in tradition, the better! One ...

Robert Parker

Dell, 1987

Frozen Steam in Dark Side Snow. Spewed Blood. Boiled Pasta. Presto Pesto. Day Saved? Penance Made?
Hired as a bodyguard, Spenser opened a significant chapter in The Cultural Conversation, in an Ongoing Dialogue with a gay feminist author who had dedicated her life, and possibly her death, to her cause. The first half of this book had a tight focus and that was it. In Parker's hands, that simplicity of plot read out as mesmerizing, and sped along at a good clip. The contrast was striking ...

The Gangster We Are All Looking For

Thi Diem Thuy Le

Anchor, 2004

Lyrical Hydrodynamics of the Buddhist Gangster Blues
"The Gangster We Are All Looking For" is probably one of the more amorphous novels I've come across in quite a while. In place of an obvious plot is an eddying flow from vignette to vignette, and image after image drifts into and out of the narrative a bit clearer every time but never quite resolved fully, as if to say in life there are indeed very few true resolutions. As a novel it is short but ...

Looking Back: A Book of Memories

Lois Lowry

Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2000

Teachers, mothers, writers!! YOU MUST READ THIS!
Browsing at my local library, I stumbled upon this book. "HMMMM, this looks interesting," I thought to myself. Little did I know that I had found a book that would bring me to my knees crying and give me one of the biggest "book hangovers" ever. This book followed me through my weekend, and inspired me as a writer ( who wishes she could write with even 1/100th of Lowry's talent) a teacher (who ...

Fat, Broke & Lonely No More: Your Personal Solution to Overeating, Overspending, and Looking for Love in All ...

Victoria Moran

HarperOne, 2007

Life as Art
Get ready to make a positive change in your life when you read this practical book. I was moved by Victoria's witty observations of life and her findings about what makes us fat, broke and lonely. No, it's not the food we eat, although that is important for good health. It's not willpower, although you can use what little you have of that commodity to make small changes each day. It's not having ...

Too Much of a Good Thing: Raising Children of Character in a Permissive Culture

18 reviews
Dan Kindlon

Miramax, 2003

Thought-provoking and comprehensive
This well-written book covers the main concerns on the minds of parents nowadays. It's a thought-provoking and very useful volume, and the major research study it reports (conducted by the author and his team) is a kind of wake-up call about the troubling condition so many of our youth are in today. Kindlon's advice for parents is sensible and smart. Aaron Cooper, Ph.D., author of I Just Want ...

Cheryl Richardson

Broadway, 1999

Cheryl is truly supportive and full of positive advice.
I can't say enough good things about the authors on Hay House and Hay House Radio. While this book is not a Hay House title (at least not the edition I'm reading), it certainly is one of the best self-help books I've read. Cheryl is very action-oriented and quite generous when it comes to sharing her tactical secrets for success. Read this book if you're absolutely willing to do the work ...

Eyes Wide Open: Looking for God in Popular Culture

7 reviews
William D. Romanowski

Brazos Press, 2007

Eyes Wide Open
"Eyes Wide Open" is, in my opinion, one of the most important contemporary works on engaging culture available. Romanowski traverses the often complicated landscape of contemporary culture, challenging his reader as he goes to use discernment when approaching the visual arts, film and music. Both accessible and intellectually stimulating, Romanowski's book is a "must read" for any aspiring ...

Nancy Ortberg

Tyndale House Publishers, 2008

A fresh look at God....
Nancy does a great job dispelling misbeliefs about God and what it means to be an authentic Christian. I loved her down to earth writing style and would go out of my way to hear her speak. She shot holes in some of my perspectives through her stories and personal mistakes. Thank you for being real and conveying truth with a twist. I will give it away to people who are looking for a very ...

Kathryn Finney

Ballantine Books, 2006

A Great Find!!!
I stumbled across this book while checking out at my local library. I have to say that this book was a great find! I got home w/ it and could not put it down. I immediately took out my notebook and made notes. Unfortunately I could only keep this book for two weeks, so I made a promise that I would buy it one day when I had the extra money. This book really inspires and teaches. Ms. Finney ...
