3 reviews
James D. Sanders, Mark A. Sauter, ...

National Press Books, 1992

A travesty of justice for U.S. soldiers.........
Soldiers of Misfortune, covering World War II, the Korean war, and Vietnam, is a profoundly shocking insight as to what has become of thousands of U.S. POW's during these wars. According to the authors, years of investigative work went into the formulation of the book and it is clearly evident in the text. Painstaking attention has been given and recorded to remove anyone's doubts of this books ...

Peter Abelard

IndyPublish, 2006

Fascinating and very insightful
Peter Abelard (1079-c.1142) was a renowned French philosopher and theologian, though he is usually remembered today for his affair with the beautiful Heloise, which ended with his being castrated by the girl's uncle. This short book (48 pages) contains Peter Abelard's autobiography, entitled Historia Calamitatum or The Story of My Misfortunes, which was written shortly before his death. In it, ...

The Misfortunes of Mr. Teal/(Variant Titles = the Saint in London/the Saint in England)

Leslie Charteris

DoubleDay, 1934

Unusual and Unpredictable Stories
This book contains three stories; "The Simon Templar Foundation", "The Higher Finance" and "The Art of Alibi". They are typical Saint stories; the Saint fights a life-and-death fight with ungodly evildoers on one hand, and tweaks the nose of poor Inspector Teal on the other hand. I liked "The Saint and Mr. Teal" that was written shortly before this book, but I like this book much better. All ...

Banish Misfortune (Harlequin American Romance Premier Edition, No 5)

Anne Stuart

harlequin, 1985

Classic Stuart!
Omigod, I remember reading this book when it came out in the early eighties--and was blown away. It was my first Harlequin American, my first Anne Stuart, and I remember thinking, I didn't know romance novels could be like this! The heroine is anorectic and having a nervous breakdown, so she takes a leave of absence from her high-pressure job and becomes a ghost-writer for the hero's gay ...

Wheel of Misfortune (Dragon Slayers Academy, 7
I just finished reading aloud book 7 of the Dragon Slayer books to my children (10, 9, & 7). We laughed out loud over and over, again. Personally, I was a little disappointed that no dragons were slain in this book but the kids didn't mind in the least. We especially loved Bragwort running around saying "Who?" and Zelnoc wondering why Wiggie would be bragging about his wart. Keep up the ...

Touched My Heart
Treasured Misfortunes, is a book that I read many years ago. This book of poety has touched my heart. The illustrations relate to the poetry so well, that I often think of them as much as the words they depict. I have become a different person because of the extent the poetry has affected me in my life. I recommed this book to everyone who needs an awakening to their consienceness.

Thomas F. Linde

Authorhouse, 2001

Great book!
I'm lucky enough to know Dr. Linde personally, and he is an amazing person. It was interesting to get to read his book and see life through Tom's eyes; to try and understand what it feels like to suffer from such a horrible disease. Tom has overcome his setbacks and propelled farther than many thought he would ever be able to go. Now, through this book, he can teach all of us. Read this book. ...

Misfortune Teller (Destroyer, 115)

Warren Murphy

DH Audio, 2001

Series in Good Hands
This series has always been as much about political commentary as it has Remo and Chuin's extraordinary powers. I am glad this author has decided to bring back the satirical aspect of the series. After 115 books, it's difficult to image these stories remaining so entertaining just by sticking to the superhero storyline. This episode had a particularly funny encounter between Smith (the ...

A warning all young men should read before enlistment.
After reading this book and completing several years of research of my own to satisfy myself that what I was reading was factual, I find that I would not have served through three brush fire wars had I seen this information first. The lack of value washington places on a soldiers life is absolutely astounding. Combat Vetran: Desert Storm, Panama, Grenada 11b,19k

Leslie Charteris

Hodder and Stoughton, 1934

Saint Saga #12
"The Misfortunes of Mr. Teal" (aka "The Saint in London") is one my favourites of the books of (usually three) Saint "novelettes", the other being The Holy Terror. Chief among its pleasures is the finale to the battle of wits between Simon and Rayt Marius, the unscrupulous arms-merchant of The Last Hero and Knight Templar. Marius, learning that he has only a few months to live, has devised a ...

MARKED FOR MISFORTUNE: An Epic Tale of Shipwreck, Human Endeavour and Survival in the Age of Sail

Jean Hood

Conway Maritime Press, 2004

An incredible tale of shipwreck, tragedy and more.
I rarely read novels - not even those about ships and the sea - preferring instead to read stories of real adventures - largely because fact is often stranger than fiction. As stories go, however, few can be stranger than that which followed the wrecking of the East Indiaman "Winterton" off Madagascar in August 1792. This is a story with all the ingredients one would expect to find in a novel - ...

Vasil Bykov

Allerton Pr, 1990

True Belorissian classic
For those who are not very familiar with Belorussian literature I would first of all like to mention that Bykov is considered one of the greatest writers in Belarus, almost an idol. An iconical figure,a symbol of liberty, patriotism and truth, he devoted all his life and writings to the thing he loved most- Belarus. His books are all about the country, its people,most of them are set in the times ...

Marguerita Rudolph

Seabury Press, 1968

I Am Your Misfortune
This is a great little storybook. I am Lithuanian. Stories from the old country are important to pass to the younger generation so, they do not die. This book does that and teaches a really important lesson too. It is geared to 5-7 year olds but can be read to younger. The pictures are pretty however not too colorful. It is the lesson that is important.

something to tell everyone you live with to get lost!
I spent my birthday money on this for 5 bucks, and it's funny! There's 2 wheels to spin, and you can choose what to say to your room mates, your family and friends, it's like saying get lost and running away so that no one can tell you off. But, you can choose what to say when you're not in your room, so if someone's going in your room, they'll look up, and they'll see what it says, they'll ...

The Performance of Emotion among Paxtun Women: "The Misfortunes Which Have Befallen Me"

Benedicte Grima

Oxford University Press, USA, 2005

Ethnography of Communication Provides Unique Insight
When discussing the Paxtuns, a major ethnic group which straddles the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, one thing that scholars are keen to mention is paxtunwali, the Paxtun code of morality and honor. There is a Paxtun proverb that refers to the paxtunwali, which says ?you don?t speak Paxto; you do paxto.? But what does doing paxto entail? More often than not, the description of what it ...

Soldiers Of Misfortune : Ivoirien Tirailleurs of WW II

Nancy Ellen Lawler

Ohio University Press, 1992

YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!
This book was excellent. Not only is it historically accurate, but also impossible to put down. Lawler researched the topic heavily, and she also managed to include roughly 100 interviews with the Tirailleurs. It is a shocking and astounding view of World War II, which most military historians are probably not aware of. In her brillant narrative, she lets the words of the soldiers speak for ...

Number 13 in the "Zack Files" series of books for young readers, "Cookie" exemplifies the series' excellent blend of humor and paranormal storylines.

Psychic Misfortune

Scorpio

Scorpio Publishing, 1997

Funny predictions spoof psychics
I laughed until I cried. This book is full of humorous "psychic" predictions for your future. These predictions are all clever and many of them poke fun at psychics or current events. If you liked the Saturday Night Live Skit "Trivial Psychic," you'll love this. This book asks age old questions like "What does the future hold for you?" and "Why don't psychics play the lottery?"
