Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)

Janet Evanovich

MacMillan Audio, 2008

All of the series are great...
I've become a regular fan of "Stephanie Plum" series. Evanovich is a fabulous writer. I've read this one and the previous 13 books in this series. I'm looking forward to the 15th I think is coming in June or July. Lots of humor about the character's family...her grandma is the best. Some love thrown in, adventure, and all sorts of great things. I highly recommend her books, especially this ...

A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father

62 reviews

Macmillan Audio, 2008

Totally believable.
One of the best books I have ever read. The story is fast-paced and heart-breaking. It is totally believable to me because I grew up in a home with one alcoholic parent and another who did nothing to protect us. I recommend this book to everyone. If you had a happy childhood -- read this book so you'll appreciate your parents even more. If you had an alcoholic parent, read the book so ...

very informative
Very good information in this audio set. I bought a couple copies and gave it to friends. I can't talk highly enough about it.

I really liked it
At first, I wasn't sure if I would like this book since I have very strong feelings about fidelity and commitment (based on some past experiences). However, I found the book to be a very sensitive and intelligent look at Ellen's conflicting feelings for the two most significant men in her life. Despite my own prejudices, I could really sympathize with Ellen and I understood why she chose to do ...

flatenning but biased
The World is Flat - Thomas Friedman "What else but sensationalism could you expect from an American Journalist" My friend commented when I told him I was on a most sensational book by New York Times' Thomas Friedman. I thank my friend and my kids favorite 4th Grade teacher Michael Citrino to have recommended "The World is Flat" which has introduced me to a rapidly flattening world, of which I ...

4.5 stars
This is.... duh.... the thirteenth book in the Stephanie Plum series. Or actually, the 15th, if you include the two between-the-numbers books. This time, Stephanie's ex, lawyer Dickie Orr, goes missing, not long after Stephanie fought with him while planting a bug in his office for Ranger. And everyone--but most particularly Joyce Barnhardt, thinks Stephanie's responsible. Thing is, he never ...

The Beck Diet Solution

6 reviews
Judith S. Beck

Macmillan Audio, 2007

Sabatoging thoughts? Who would have thunk it?
I give this book 5 stars because I too have lost about 20lbs since I learned that the culprit of my weight loss failures were my own "sabatoging thoughts". The thoughts that say to you, "This bed feels too good to get out of, I'll just work out tomorrow". Or the thought that says, it's only a small donut, I'll get back on my diet tomorrow". Dr. Beck actually tells you what to say to yourself when ...

Plum Lucky (Stephanie Plum Novels)

Macmillan Audio, 2008

Lucky to have read this book!
I loved this book. This book was even more fun than the previous between the numbers book. It was very funny and it was great having Connie and Grandma along on Stephanie's adventure. It was a quick read, but was lots of fun.

This I Believe: The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women

Excellent resource for English teachers
I reguarly listen to the radio series on NPR, and I teach English composition at a community college. Recently, I decided to have my students write their own "This I Believe" essays. Though I originally bought the book (and had my students buy copies) so that I could assign weekly readings from it, I have gotten a great deal of personal enjoyment from reading the essays myself, even the ones I ...

Up Till Now: The Autobiography

David Fisher

Macmillan Audio, 2008

Fascinating life and wonderful man
This book was fascinating. I could not put it down. William Shatner is more funny and humble and hard-working than anyone knew. I see some people complaining about his "asides" within the narrative, but I found them humorous, and I thought it just added to the feel that the man was there in person, telling you his life story.

Plum Lovin' (Stephanie Plum Novels)

Janet Evanovich

Macmillan Audio, 2007

Plum Loving
This is a between books, novel. It may not be absolutely necessary to read this to complete the Stephanie Plum series, but it does give us insights into Stephanie's character as well as a deeper insight into other characters who are regulars in the series. It is a "stand alone" book, but I would recommend that it be read in the order in which it was witten.

Fantastic tool to drive transformational change
Kotter did a fantastic job translating his proven change management process into a format that leaders can understand and use. Through his powerful fable, Kotter tells the story about the phases of leading change and helps us anticipate the roadblocks along the journey. Very well done. Love the useful tools and tips on the website that support it as well...ouricebergismelting.com

Ender's Game may the one of the best sci-fi books ever written...
I give this book to anyone who I think will get it. There is a lot more to it than meets the eye. I gain something new every time I reread it. Definitely give this one a chance!

An awesome continuation...
The history continues as well as characters and plot development. Rand finally accepted being the Dragon Reborn, Mat yet refuses to acknoledge that he is Ta'veren and Perrin take the full role to protect the Two Rivers people from, let's say, menances. All this with Aes Sedai and their hidden reasons, Seachan and Children of Light plotting and the Dark One and his minions in the shadows. ...

Down River

John Hart

Macmillan Audio, 2007

A Beautiful Mystery!
Down River by John Hart is a mystery story that is packed with much more than its intended. As I breezed through this carefully woven tale, I found myself falling in love with the characters of the tale. Hart has not only crafted an intelligent, simple, mystery but has also crafted some finely drawn characters that really add real literary substance to the pages. When reading the book I felt a ...

Gripping
As a long-time WWII buff, I found this a great read. Even better, the authors had a good knowledge of the ships and planes used in the battle. Most of the book focuses on the battles, and the details used were just right. One of the best fiction books I've read in a long time.

Destructive Emotions: How Can We Overcome Them?: A Scientific Dialogue with the Dalai Lama

5 reviews
Daniel Goleman, The Dalai Lama

Macmillan Audio, 2003

fascinating and practical
I've never written a review before; but when I saw that nobody else had commented on this audio book (the four cd set), I wanted to enter an emphatic endorsement of it. I have read many books on psychology, religion and emotions. This book integrates all of them. I was originally interested the influence of meditation on controlling stress and negative emotions. That information is here and ...

Dune

Frank Herbert

Macmillan Audio, 2007

An excellent book for any fan of science fiction!
When I started off reading Dune 3-4 years ago, I gave up about 200 pages in just because it seemed too complex to me at the time. Years later, I came back to it again because the summertime is quite boring with no job/school. Suffice to say, not only did I understand what was going on a lot better, I actually loved the book in the end. Dune is set on a planet known as Arrakis, which ...
