The Red Tent1430 reviews

A 'Might Have Been' Story
A very long time ago when I went to Sunday School there were many short stories, labeled 'might have been' stories, that used names or events from the Bible as their starting point - kind of like today's fan fiction. Their purpose was to illustrate a point, or to fill out details to make the Biblical account easier to understand. THE RED TENT is very much in the tradition of those 'might have ...

Strangers In Death
When I happened upon Naked In Death and finished, I was hooked. I immediately started to purchase all the books in order and could not stop.I did not think when I first read the synopsis of Naked In Death that I would be interested in a futuristic police/romance book of any kind. Boy, was I wrong. I have read each book at least ten times (sounds sick I know) but each time I read them, it's as if ... 		  
  







  
  
Gilead300 reviews
Marilynne Robinson

Large Print Press, 2006

This is a nearly perfect book
Gilead is a nearly perfect book. It is quiet, multi-layered, and deeply spiritual. Composed in the form of a letter from the elderly protagonist, John Ames, to his young son, the work is a meditative near-monologue about faith, anger, love, and forgiveness; emotional patrimony, isolation, and loneliness. Absent characters loom large, and vast haunted landscapes are communicated in just the ... 		  
  







  
  
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5)5869 reviews
J. K. Rowling

Large Print Press, 2005

My second favorite of the series
The largest and second best, in my opinon, of the series is when the good side fights back. Voldemort is slaughtering "for fun" and The Order of the Phoenix won't stand for it. The Order of he Phoenix is basically the equivelent of the Justice League. The ending is a duel between the two greatist wizards alive and will keep you wanting more. 		  
  







  
  
Tuesdays With Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Lifes Greatest Lesson2112 reviews
Mitch Albom

Large Print Press, 1999

A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life.
After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of schoolwork to read, but I quickly polished this book off in two sessions. This book grabs you almost immediately and reels you ... 		  
  







  
  
Memorial Day134 reviews
Vince Flynn

Large Print Press, 2005

Better Every Book
Vince Flynn is an exceptional writer. The only thing I would like to say here is that as good as his first book was, he has gotten better and better with each writing. It is as if we have watched him evolve into a first class author every bit as good as Clancy and the rest. I can't put his books down. Thanks Vince 		  
  







  
  
Blood Brothers (Sign of Seven Trilogy)128 reviews
Nora Roberts

Large Print Press, 2007

Horror, Mystery, Romance, Humor!!!
This book as it all, there are those moments when you heart stops because you think one of the main characters is in danger or where you are trying to figure out the mystery behind the Pagan Stone yourself or for them really. Then the romance in this book is so touching and care free that you are cheering for them from the beginning not to mention the humor between them as they work their way ... 		  
  







  
  
The Secret Servant (Gabriel Allon)104 reviews
Daniel Silva

Large Print Press, 2008

Masterful
I find it amazing that the author keeps coming up with fresh plots and an exciting story with mostly the same key characters. Gabriel Allon, the Israeli operative, comes out on top once again. Islamic terrorists kidnap the daughter of the U.S. ambassador to England while she's taking her daily run in Hyde Park. They request a swap for an important sheikh who is in prison in Colorado. Then, when ... 		  
  







  
  
Appaloosa64 reviews
Robert B. Parker

Large Print Press, 2006

A THRILLING WESTERN NOVEL!
From Robert B. Parker, whose credits include the Spenser and Stone series' of books, comes "Appaloosa." The story of two lawmen hired to protect the town of Appaloosa from an evil rancher, this is an exciting, emotionally powerful novel. While it is a western, the heart of the book lies in the relationship between the novel's protagonists, Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch. Both humorous and ...

My first Flynn novel, definitely not my last. Kept me turning pages (clicking on my Kindle) while family around me welcomed in my new grandaughter. 		  
  







  
  
The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys To Weight Loss Freedom272 reviews
Dr. Phil McGraw

Large Print Press, 2005

Excellent Weight Loss Guide
A visit to a doctor just over two months ago revealed that I was obese, with a high body fat percentage and low muscle mass level. It was made clear to me that unless I reduced my weight from 80 kg (176 lbs) to at least 70 kg (154 lbs), I was at high risk of developing diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure or stroke. I had to reduce my weight and hence I needed a good book to guide me ... 		  
  







  
  
The Confessor102 reviews
Daniel Silva

Large Print Press, 2004

Forgive us our trespasses....
"The Confessor", part of the Holocaust trilogy featuring Israeli spy Gabriel Allon once again delivers excitement, intrigue, human drama, and superb historical interest. The fictional Pope of "The Confessor" is the target of a plot within the Vatican intended to silence him because of his desire to confess the sins of the Church during the Holocaust. His impassioned words brought me to tears. 		  
  







  
  
True Evil (Thorndike Paperback Bestsellers)137 reviews
Greg Iles

Large Print Press, 2007

seeing what's true
It's interesting to spend time with characters who know more than simply how to destroy and how to hurt. True Evil assembles a group of professionals who know a lot and let their knowledge influence how they think and what they notice. Even the "bad guys" use their intelligence and apply their commonsense. Serial killers are so often thought of as damaged in some way, even insane. But when ... 		  
  







  
  
A Man Named Dave224 reviews
David J. Pelzer

Large Print Press, 2001

It's A Complete Trilology...
It was very exciting to find out how his adulthood went for him. I give Dave a lot of credit for forgiving his mother after all she put him through. God bless this man for sharing his life story. Hopefully, this will help other abuse victims out. 		  
  







  
  
Gone for Good214 reviews
Harlan Coben

Large Print Press, 2003

excellent thriller
This is my first book by this author, and I enjoyed it very much. It's the story of Will Klein, a social worker in Manhattan whose life changed 11 years ago when his brother was accused of killing Will's ex-girlfriend. The story begins when Will's mother, dying of cancer, tells him that his brother (who's been missing and presumed dead for those 11 years), is alive. Shortly afterward, Will's ... 		  
  







  
  
Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War276 reviews
Nathaniel Philbrick

Large Print Press, 2007

A great, mythbusting yarn
Many of the reviews (the 1-, 2- and 3-star reviews in particular) criticize the author for (a) poor choice of book title, (b) shoddy history, (c) boring prose. The mixed reviews on this prevented me from purchasing Mayflower for quite some time, until curiosity got the better of me. While little can be said about whether a book is boring or not (to each his own), I'd advise those lamenting ... 		  
  







  
  
The Assault on Reason (Large Print Press)340 reviews
Albert Gore

Large Print Press, 2008

A Reminder of What True Democracy is Based Upon
Much has been said about this jewel of a book, but I want to add that it is a pleasure to read such elegantly written exposition. Vice President Gore's prose in THE ASSAULT ON REASON is evocative of the styles and rationales of the Founding Fathers whom he so admires and whose faith in true Democracy led to the framing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, as well as to the ... 		  
  







  
  
Prince of Fire71 reviews
Daniel Silva

Large Print Press, 2006

A Silva Masterpiece
Despite reading them out of order, I have thoroughly enjoyed Silva's entire Gabriel Allon series. This and "The Messenger" are the best. "The Messenger" was a fabulous page turner with a timely message about Saudi financed terrorism. "Prince of Fire" is just as good, but in a different way. It is a bit more cerebral. It has plenty of action, but it also gives the reader a closer look at ...

The TinRoof Blowdown
Great story line and characters - James Lee Burke just gets better and better. His research is excellent and I should know as I live in SW LA. 		  
  







  
  
In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex282 reviews
Nathaniel Philbrick

Large Print Press, 2001

Excellent and Enthralling Book from a most Perspicacious Author
This harrowing, hair-raising adventure story and testament to American ingenuity and resourcefulness is a thrill to read. Philbrick recounts the disaster of the Whaleship Essex largely relying on a careful selection of accounts from the memoirs of First Mate Owen Chase and Boatsteerer Thomas Nickerson that are peppered with interesting and informative annotations from a wealth of other sources. ...
