Town House14 reviews
Tish Cohen
HarperCollins Canada, 2007
Town House - MUST Read then see the movie
Town House is an amazing story by Toronto author Tish Cohen, whom I met in June with authors Patry Francis and Jennifer McMahon. Not only did Tish write her book in three and one half-weeks, (it WAS fully plotted - but, still - that is an amazingly fast write - even for a writer who writes, as Tish does - everywhere - (on the keyboard or on scraps of paper scrawled while grocery shopping) she ...

Bottomfeeder: How to Eat Ethically in a World of Vanishing Seafood7 reviews
Taras Grescoe
Harpercollins Canada, 2008
A great read on an important issue
Bottomfeeder is an excellent read on a critically important topic. The book documents the massive overfishing that combined with environmental pressures is driving many fish species to the point of extinction, and that much of the cheap seafood on our plates is not safe or sustainable for humans or the planet. Unfortunately, this issue has gotten limited coverage outside the environmental media ...

Harpercollins Canada, 2007
Will Challenge Your Soul
This is one of the best books I have ever read. From the first page I was captivated by the lives of the characters. This book challenged my thinking beyond belief and pushed me to wonder what I would have done in many given situations. It shows the amazingness of human resiliency and the disgustingness of those who have lost all humanity along with those in between. In researching the details of ...

Forms of Devotion6 reviews
Diane Schoemperlen
HarperCollins Canada, 1999
Pictures and Words in Perfect Harmony
Diane Schoemperlen said she found inspiration for this book when her young son asked her how come her books never have any pictures. She then had the brilliant idea to wrap short stories around antique drawings, 100 year old catalogue pictures and illustrations from the original Gray's Anatomy. The results are stories that are compelling on their own but are perfectly enhanced by the pictures ...

An Excellent Story about the Tragic Halifax Explosion!
When my mom got me this book for Christmas, I must admit I was reluctant to read it. I had never heard of that horrible halifax explosion, so I put it aside till Febuary. And I got right into it, believe it or not. It even got me to watch the recent documentry on the halifax explosion. The book starts off in the winter or 1917, and the main character Rose Dunlea is worrying about her problems, ...

Fights of Our Lives: Elections, Leadership and the Making of Canada3 reviews
John Duffy
HarperCollins Canada, 2002
Gripping, Beautiful and Funny
Who would have thought that a book on Canadian politics could be exciting? Not me, but Duffy's voice in "Fights" is aggressive and compelling. The play-by-play account of the Turner-Mulroney prize-fight is one of many of this book's highlights. A beautiful design too.

The Maze3 reviews
Monica Hughes

The Maze- an INCREDIBLE book!

She is new to Abbotsville High and has not a very good life at home or at school. Her mother doesn't live with them and her Dad will not let Andrea keep correspondence. Her Dad is very quiet and kind of sad. He makes ...

A Farther Shore: How Near-Death and Other Extraordinary Experiences Can Change Ordinary Lives5 reviews
Yvonne, Md Kason, Teri Degler
HarperCollins Canada, 1996
Valuable about kundalini processes
This book is easy to miss as a kundalini guide because its title does not indicate this aspect of its content. The author, an MD, has assisted large numbers of people in kundalini processes and has a wealth of information to offer that is very valuable to anyone wanting/needing to learn about a kundalini experience. She is a medial doctor with a vast knowledge of spiritual phenomena. In my ...

The Courage of Children: My Life with the World's Poorest Kids4 reviews
Peter Dalglish
HarperCollins Canada, 1998
A riveting read written by an inspirational man..
I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did; I was interested to read it after hearing Peter Dalgleish speak. He is a charismatic, brilliant speaker and this book is equally riveting. A lawyer by training, Dalgleish was heading for the big salary, the luxury life. The book charts how he turned himself around and ended up using his characteristic drive and energy to help some of the ...

The Last Resort: A Retirement Vision for Canadians and How to Achieve It3 reviews
Steve Bareham
Harpercollins Canada, 1997
Great book for young people!
Before reading The Last Resort I neither understood nor cared much about retirement planning. Now, however, even though I'm only 24 years old, and thanks to the book, I've acquired a much better appreciation of why investing and lifestyles planning is so important - for both young and old. I'm recommending that any young person who reads this should also read The Last Resort.

Hard Time to be a Father3 reviews
Fay Weldon
HarperCollins Canada, Limited, 1998
Very amusing stories.
I enjoyed this book greatly. Fay Weldon's writing can be as unattractive as Goya's art. This short story collection is very gripping but not hideous at all . Typically, of this author, there are some wicked characters portrayed. And there are some deadly accurate vignettes focused on New Zealanders and the English: somewhat brutal, but nothing unfair. There are some optimistic stories ...
