Prophet247 reviews
Kahlil Gibran

Random House Audio, 1986

Mystic masterpiece
I recently read an article in The New Yorker Magazine about Kahlil Gibran, writer born in the middle east to Christian parents. Kahlil Gibran managed to immigrate to NYC with his mother and siblings. Gibran's personal life and his early death, his exotic looks and ability to both write and paint is what attracted me to read his masterpiece "The Prophet". It is a mystic story, written in verse, ...

Rand Miller

Random House Audio, 1995

easy, fun book - would highly recommend
Being a fan of the Myst series since it's original launch in the early 1990's, I can say that this book lives of to the expectations that Myst/Uru fans have come to appreciate. It's easy to read, flows well, has a great underlying story. After reading, you are able to understand and appreciate the island of Myst and Riven so much more. It's an easy book to read, which makes it great for both ...

For Laci266 reviews
Sharon Rocha

Random House Audio, 2005

I was waiting for this book
I was pregnant with my 3rd son when Laci went missing and was so devastated to hear how she went missing. As time went on, and I looked at Scott on TV, I could tell he was guilty. He was blank, cold, and detached looking. I felt so sad for Laci and her son. She was so beautiful and looked to be like such a sweet loving woman. I was drawn to the story, and waited for her mother to write a ... 		  
  







  
  
What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful158 reviews
Mark Reiter

Random House Audio, 2007

I gave this book to a friend in England
It made such an impression on me, I was amazed! And it had the same effect on my friend, who wrote: This book found me! I wasn't looking for it, didn't think I could use it, and thought I had reached a place where I didn't really NEED another book to point out the way to success. I've always respected Marshall Goldsmith for his consistently impressive coaching techniques, but like most people, ...

L. Ron Hubbard

Random House Audio, 1988

By FAR the best book I've ever read!
This book has COMPLETELY changed my life. I really felt like I understood life and people before reading this book. I even thought I "had it together". And you know what? I was right! This book took all of those things that "everyone knows, but nobody knows how to describe" and puts it in a way that you can really understand! If you aren't afraid to improve your life then this book is for ... 		  
  







  
  
The Lords of Discipline167 reviews
Pat Conroy

Random House Audio, 1988

Duty, Honor, Country
The mark of a successful coming of age story is that you, the reader, can see yourself reflected in the protagonist. For me, this book worked very well. Will McLean, the main character and first-person narrator, a second generation Irish boy, son of a Marine, a mongrel outsider in the pedigreed Carolina Military Institute searches for himself, the man within the boy who is being molded by a ...

Allison Glock

Random House Audio, 2004

I admire him sooo much
Clay Aiken is one of the few celebrities I look up to. He has devoted fans because people see him as a friend or a brother. He is a very kind, humorous, and generous man. I am glad I read this book.

Point of Impact- HITS THE MARK
Point of Impact This book is the screenplay for the movie "Shooter". I first read the book about twelve years ago, it was so superb that it stuck with me. I was convinced that it was the basis for the very exciting movie, after some resaearch online, I was proven right. I read on average of three books a month and "Point of Impact" is on my top five ever. Bob Lee swagger uses his most accurate ...

Nando Parrado, Vince Rause

Random House Audio, 2006

Throw Away Your 'Self-Help' Books!
Throw away all your 'self-help' books because this is the real deal. 'Miracle in the Andes' is a must-read, can't put down, classic story of one man's struggle against circumstances almost beyond human comprehension. We all kind of know the story: a plane filled with strong, young rugby players crashes deep in the Andes mountains and the survivors are left for dead by government searchers who ... 		  
  







  
  
Rebel Angels104 reviews
Libba Bray

Random House Audio, 2005

YA Fantasy at Its Best
Rich with imagery, plots, dread, hunger, passion, secrets and magic. I loved it. I don't think there are many series in this genre with the same level of depth, detail, characters or plot. A MUST READ.

Random House Audio, 2007

Not only an excellent story, but a perfect book.
The reviewer who said "Even when i wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it." wasn't kidding. It's two weeks later and I'm still thinking about it. The actions and events of the cult are shocking. But what is amazing about this book is that it takes you unbelievably deep into the unreal mental state of this cult, without ever getting boring. When I was 1/2 way through the book and put it ... 		  
  







  
  
The Brothers K112 reviews
David James Duncan

Random House Audio, 1992

Breathtaking novel
I have to say that this book has become one of those books I will be glad to read a second, third, even fourth time. The name itself, once fully explained in the novel is a great definition of the book in it's entirety. I was at first a little scared at it's enormous size and by the fact that I had to complete this book in as little as about a month, having to do it for a school assignment. ...

The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors116 reviews
James D. Hornfischer

Random House Audio, 2004

New Appreciation!
The author made me feel like I was a part of the action! It also gave me a whole new appreciation for the men and women who have served in a time of war. It does start off a little slow due to providing a lot of background on the sailors. But just hang on because once the action starts, you will not be able to put it down!

Blood and Thunder: An Epic of the American West113 reviews
Hampton Sides

Random House Audio, 2006

Blood and Thunder book review
I'll get on the bandwagon. This was a great read. The writing was very good but the subject was almost unbelievable. I always just assumed Kit Carson was another hyperbolic character out of the west, as cartoonish as Yosemite Sam, and bloviated as Wild Bill. Wrong! Astounding story which the author handles with color and style Admittedly the author's jumping around to different parralel story ...
