Know your enemy
A basic battle tactic is to know your enemy. That' just what Harry has to do, learn about Voldemort. Why is he evil? Is Voldemort his real name? What is his connection to Harry and Dumbledore? All of these questions and more are revealed in this, my favorite book in the series.

I don't know how to begin to describe The Little Prince. In some ways it is like reviewing love itself. While many books have touched me emotionally, this short children's story has gone farther and deeper than any other. Everything about it is perfection: sweet, sad, flawed perfection. It is a tale of tears. It is about loving so much that you would embrace pain, even death, for the beloved, of ...

A guide to gaining and maintaining power
This book was written by the famous Italian statesman Niccolo Machiavelli in 1531. This book is a classic and I was pleasantly surprised that the content was not dated and the principles translate easily into the modern worlds of business and politics. The author wrote this book as an instruction guide for governing princes in the 1500's when Italy was divided into city states and were being ...

Amazing
This book was gorgeously written. The language was captivating and almost poetic. I couldn't put it down. The story was hilarious to gut-wretching, and everything in between. Characters so three dimentionally written, one would believe they were real-life acquaintances. One of the most moving books I've ever read.

I have no background in hypnosis or NLP aside from reading some books. Frogs into Princes had a strange effect on me in a very good way and I can't wait to reread it!

The Recipe of the American Corporate State
Machiavelli's "The Prince" is a guide of morality-void techniques for acquiring and maintaining political power and ultimately, political fortune. Written nearly 500 years ago, this blueprint for tyranny is just as relevant today. As his compass, Machiavelli uses history, both ancient and contemporary. In 500 years, no one has proven him wrong. Here's a flavor for you innocents out there: "For, ...

Began & Condemned to Finished & Loved
This book truely is one of the greatest books I have ever read. When I began the book, I was very skeptical about the scriptural validity. In addition, growing upin church you see many doctrines that come and go very quickly. However, I have a theological degree and this book is a fine example of scriptural accuracy. Spiritually, I can honestly say that I feel a freedom I have never felt ...

Simply an awesome package
When I first got the book, I was impressed by the large dimensions of the book (something I overlooked in the description). The size of the book really helps take in the photos. The photos go everywhere from urban landscapes, hotels, the NPG, on stage (relatively few though, which throws off the fact that this is about his touring), and Prince himself. The photos are all great in my opinion. ...

Brothers can be mean and wicked, too!
There are two views I could use in reviewing "Prince Cinders," a modern version of Cinderella. The reader shall choose. View 1: The politically correct version of gender role reversal. Instead of a girl treated wickedly, the role is inhabited by a boy, or young man, who is made to clean up after his three older brothers. When he wants to go to the dance, his fairy, a young woman who doesn't ...

Rutherford's books
Rutherford does a great deal of research and manages to weave a lot of real history into a fictional story with finesse. The sequel, "The Rebels of Ireland", taught me more about Ireland's current culture than reading a stack of history books would have done.

The Kidnapped Prince: The Life of Olaudah Equiano
The following reviews are excerpted from book reports written by a 5th grade class in Oakland, CA. Jamar: This book is really good and interesting, but sometimes is difficult to understand. I admire Olaudah because he was extremely hardworking and brave. I would like to read this book again because it is very authentic. Edwin: Olaudah learned many things. He learned to speak English well ...

Intense love between the hero and the heroine
Lots of real tension and development of love between the two main characters in this book. I read it in one sitting, wanting them to fall in love the whole time. If you like books where the focus is on the hero and heroine rather than lots of plot twists, then you will LOVE this book. Love scenes are quite steamy as well...

Rory Stewart
Harvest Books

Highly opinionated, politically incorrect and not at all "big picture"
Fascinating read about Stewarts's stint as an "assistant provincial governor" of sorts for the Coalition, running from Sept 2003 to Aug 2004, IIRC. It reminded me of The Assassins' Gate in its focus on individual Iraqis. Stewart has some experience dealing with Muslim societies from the bottom up and is certainly opinionated about the good and bad points of both the Coalition and the Iraqis. ...

A great addition to Narnia
It was a very enjoyable read! I didn't want to put the book down. I would have liked to have seen a little more interaction between Caspian and Peter, and a more detailed battle sequence at the end.

This is another fantastic book! I love Bragg's work. It makes you cry, smile and laugh. The audio version, read by the author, adds to the value of his story. Beautifully written, beautifully read. Fine work!

A princely catalogue
Since I will not be lucky enough to see the exhibition at the Guggenheim, I am very happy to be able to say that this is one of the best art books I have ordered so far. It lists and illustrates the bulk of Prince's major series (the original ad pictures from the 1970's, stripped of all text, the cowboy photos,the joke paintings, the nurse paintings,the latest 2006 "De Kooning" paintings which ...
