Mark Bowden

Atlantic Monthly Press, 2008

The Best Game Ever
Mr. Bowden does an excellent job.. I was growing up in Baltimore at the time. He accurately captures things I remember, and gives enormous (and fun) incite into the rest of the story.

Angie Sage did it again!
This book, 4th in the series,is as interesting and captivating as the first 3 books. I enjoyed reading all Septimus' adventures, and this book actually meets my expectation. I'll say, I recommend to get the series...

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Mark Haddon

Vintage, 2004

A unique, entertaining story.
This story, though not actually a mystery, captivated me from the very beginning. Seeing the world through Christopher's eyes is both entertaining and educational. I've never read anything like this before. It's both simple and complex at the same time. I'm suggesting this book for my book club. This is a great book for anyone thirteen and older (my estimate).

J. Mark G. Williams, John D. Teasdale, ...

The Guilford Press, 2007

Very engaging and useful.
The book is a relatively quick read--as a clinical psychologist I like to preview books that I might recommend to pts--I got thru it in a weekend. The CD is excellent. Very good value. Beneficial even if one is not depressed!

The Match: The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever

60 reviews
Mark Frost

Hyperion, 2007

Golf story telling at its best
Frost's trilogy is must reading for every golf nut. The Match is much shorter than his finest work, The Greatest Game Ever Played, and his essential biography of Bobby Jones, The Grand Slam, but it is nonetheless a gripping, page turning tale of 18 holes played by four of golf's outstanding personalities on one of the nation's most beguiling courses, Cypress Point CC. Historical facts concering ...

How the States Got Their Shapes

4 reviews
Mark Stein

Collins, 2008

A fascinating insight into US history
For two generations after its founding as a state in 1848, Wisconsin politicians praised the state for "preserving the Union" through its generous contributions of land to Michigan and Illinos. Under the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Wisconsin was much larger than the relatively small "mitten" that actually joined the Union. The entire Upper Peninsula was taken from Wisconsin Territory and ...

Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter

Business Plus, 2000

Excellent Book.
I enjoyed reading this book. It was very interesting and at times funny. I did not want to put it down. However, if you are looking for a get rich quick idea or scheme, it is not in this book. Also, if you are not interested in real estate, you may not like this book, because that is most of the author's story. When I heard about this book, I thought it would show me how to get rich. The ...

First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently

256 reviews
Marcus Buckingham, Curt Coffman

Simon & Schuster, 1999

More Profound than its Title Suggests
You can't take the title seriously (some Amazon reviewers do). The book is about what Gallup has found makes effective managers of people during its research for various clients over 10+ years. The central theme is that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Nothing new there. What is new, is their research that shows (a) an individual's strengths are real workforce multipliers, (b) effort ...

5 reviews
Bill Willingham

Vertigo, 2008

The Janitor King
"Fables 10: The Good Prince" is latest of Bill Willingham's outstanding Fables series. If you are not familiar with the series I recommend you read no further. Start at the beginning. In order to truly understand and enjoy this series and put this book done with a sense of satisfaction, you have to start at the beginning. Even if you're familiar with the series, I'll try and not spoil it ...

Marshall Goldsmith, Mark Reiter

Hyperion, 2007

Consistently Marshall-esque and direct
If you do nothing else over the summer, pick up Marshall Goldsmith's simple yet consistently Marshall-esque and direct book, What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful. I recently had a chance to meet Marshall at the Vistage International 50th anniversary conference. His unassuming presence completely disarms you with the fact that he is the personal ...

A MUST FOR ANY YANKEE FAN!!!
My husband who has been a Yankee fan ever since he was a little boy loved this book I bought it as a gift for him. I originally saw it on QVC in a box for about $76 with shipping and since I don't buy any books without consulting Amazon first I checked it out. Who needs a box for an extra $40. My husband said it brought back lots of memories and the pictures are fantastic .He was thrilled I ...

America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It

Mark Steyn

Regnery Publishing, 2008

Best book yet about what we face in the west regarding Islam
If you don't think Islam is a threat to the West, then just look at what is happening to Europe. The religion of Peace is anything but. I see bumper stickers that say Coexist, like we all need to just get along. Christians are not fighting with Jews. Hindus are not fight with Buddhists. Jews are not fighting with Hindus, etc. Islam is fighting with everyone, but we need to all "coexist"? ...

Final Theory: A Novel

Mark Alpert

Touchstone, 2008

Fast and Fun Read
I read this novel on a plane flight, finished it before I got back to LA. Best book I've read in a long time. It's a thriller about science, but unlike most science books it's easy to understand. Fun plot, great characters. Sort of like the Da Vinci Code, but more believable.

Mistaken Identity: Two Families, One Survivor, Unwavering Hope

111 reviews
Don & Susie Van Ryn, Newell, Colleen & Whitney Cerak

Howard Books, 2008

Make no mistake--this book is worth reading
The amazing story of these two families is not one anyone of us would choose to walk through. The manner in which they carry themselves through this trauma touched me tremendously. The book challenged me to think about what it really means to love my neighbor as myself.

Mark Twain

Prestwick House Inc., 2005

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
One of the top five stories I've ever read. The voice of Huck Finn is superb; Mark Twain's story-telling style is amongst the best. Absolutely love this book, re-read it periodically, if you haven't read it do yourself a favour and get it today. Infinite number of stars.

Starting Strength (2nd edition)

Mark Rippetoe, Lon Kilgore

The Aasgaard Company, 2007

A 1st edition book review
As you walk into your gym, the first thing you see is that handsome Brad Pitt (or Orlando Bloom or whatever) look-alike curling a barbell relentlessly and vigorously on the squat rack. Sets after sets after sets, you stand in awe as you see the grotesque veins bulge on his biceps as he stimulates every square inch, every nooks and crannies of its muscle fibers. The girls on the treadmills would ...

Wonderful!
I have been a vegetarian for almost 8 years, and my boyfriend, a previously meat-and-potatoes type, is now getting into vegetarianism as well. This cookbook is almost overwhelming there is so much in it. It features wonderful, simple recipes that would please anyone. They are also easy to make substitutions with, to suit your tastes or what you have on hand. In fact, the book gives tons of ...
