21 reviews
John Fund

Encounter Books, 2004

Thought-provoking call to action
John Fund insightfully explores the world of stolen elections - a problem no longer limited to corrupt governments on the other side of the world. It is hard to believe what is happening under our noses, so often orchestrated by those who claim to be proponents of honesty in government.

Charlie Huston

Ballantine Books, 2005

Fast paced, violent, raw, and still very fun.

Stealing Athena: A Novel

Karen Essex

Doubleday, 2008

Quite enjoyable
I am am avid reader of historical fiction, and am surprised I missed this one somehow until now. Essex's novel focuses on the famous Elgin marbles, and is told in both first person and third. At first, I found this jarring, but after getting used to it, I settled in and very much enjoyed the story of Mary Elgin, whose husband is obsessed with preserving the Elgin marbles. However, my favorite ...

Stealing Lincoln's Body

Thomas J. Craughwell

Belknap Press, 2008

Lots of History Surrounding a Macabre Crime
Bungling thieves who fail in an attempted heist, and bungling cops who eventually catch them, might seem to be improbable subjects for a detailed book on the whole botched affair. There is no lack of interesting detail, however, in _Stealing Lincoln's Body_ (Belknap / Harvard). Thomas J. Craughwell has illuminated a bizarre crime, and has also cast light on many subjects that would seem ...

Erik Spiekermann, E.M Ginger

Adobe Press, 2002

Quest for clarity in the brave world of Media2.0
This is quite an interesting and humoristic little book that should be made a must read for all bloggers, web designers and other web 2.0 communicators. Erik Spiekermann and E.M Ginger bring a very educated viewpoint to the never boring debate of form v.s. function and substance v.s. style. There is no doubt that they're choosing style and more specifically the role of Typographic style on ...

If you could read minds, would it be a gift. . . or a curse? . . . Cassie Neill has escaped the crime filled streets of L.A. to silence her mind. She had run to a small town in North Carolina just so she could escape her fate, but danger followed her.

Out Stealing Horses: A Novel

Per Petterson

Picador, 2008

Hauntingly simplistic yet powerfully empathetic.
This being my first Per Petterson novel I did have my reservations, but I am delighted to say that all the praise this author receives is well earned. I must also add that the names of some of the authors this book beat in the IMPAC is quite impressive. And yet, when you read the editorials the book doesn't sound that interesting. Trond Sander an almost seventy year old man moves to a remote ...

Stealing Elections, Revised and Updated: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy

3 reviews
John Fund

Encounter Books, 2008

Must read for people who care about democracy
This book is completely different from the earlier version and is a must read for anyone concerned about the upcoming election. Fund uses numerous examples to back up his claims regarding vote fraud. Vote fraud is not a myth as evidenced by the felony convictions of various members of ACORN (a group Obama worked for and backs). ACORN creates fraudulent voter registration lists in order to get ...

Stealing Buddha's Dinner
Bich Minh Nguyen

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008

As a Vietnamese girl coming of age in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Nguyen is filled with a rapacious hunger for American identity, and in the pre-PC-era Midwest (where the Jennifers and Tiffanys reign supreme), the desire to belong transmutes into a passion for American food. More exotic- seeming than her Buddhist grandmother?s traditional specialties, the campy, preservative-filled ?delicacies? of mainstream America capture her imagination. In ...

Sherryl Woods

Mira, 2007

wonderful book, wonderful writing...
when I picked up this book from the library of the recommendation of a friend, I had no idea I would like it so much. The witing is wonderful...it seems to give a very realistic picture of the turmoil that is caused among children of divorced families, and the adjustments they need to make. Most of all,the book didnt try to play nice...it potrays very clearly the insensitivity of the spouses who ...

Stealing Buddha's Dinner: A Memoir

Bich Minh Nguyen

Viking Adult, 2007

Very enjoyable...
There is much to enjoy in "Stealing Buddha's Dinner." It is a nostalgic, pop culture fueled book that will appeal to anyone who can't leave the '80s behind. It is also a touching, almost gut wrenching story about Vietnamese boat people and their assimilation in the US. These two threads coalesce in a narrative that is centered around eating, particularly the American junk food that Bich Minh ...

Stealing Fire from the Gods: The Complete Guide to Story for Writers and Filmmakers (2nd Edition)

James Bonnet

Michael Wiese Productions, 2006

The definitive book for real storytellers
If you appreciate the deepest dimensions of stories and you want to tell them, buy this book. The author said he began decades ago asking the question, 'what are stories about?' (Or something similar). A few years ago, I began the same quest, and pretty much all of my discoveries are included in this book--as well as a whole lot more. I've been humbled, because I invested a lot of myself into ...

Stealing Your Life: The Ultimate Identity Theft Prevention Plan

10 reviews
Frank W. Abagnale

Broadway, 2007

Excellent overview of the scourge of identity theft
It's a fallacy that our elected officials take forever to get things done. Two examples where Washington acted with speed are with the National Do Not Call Registry and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The National Do Not Call Registry was slated to take effect on October 1, 2003, but various marketing associations challenged its legitimacy and even if the FTC had the jurisdiction to enforce it. ...

Stealing Light

Gary Gibson

Tor Books, 2008

'Epic' SciFi page-turner
Doesn't have quite the depth of Ian M Banks 'Culture' novels, but overall a very good story, well written, and fast paced. Interesting twist in that humans are not the dominant lifeform here, but actaully one of many client species. Set in a fairly-distant future (not as far as "Culture" novels), Humans find (after inventing FTL communications, but not travel) that only one species in the ...

Stealing the Network: How to Own a Continent

FX, Paul Craig, ...

Syngress, 2004

Fun, Fun, Fun
I read a lot of technical books and also a lot of spy books. This mashed both of my favorite types of books. The authors who are hackers themselves did a great job of creating a story. I would recommend, and have recommended this book to a lot of people.

Stealing History: Tomb Raiders, Smugglers, and the Looting of the Ancient World

10 reviews
Roger Atwood

St. Martin's Griffin, 2006

MISLEADING TITLE
There is nothing to add to the detailed analyses of this book previously detailed, except: Know what you are buying: This book is 95% about the author 's experiences excavating at Sipan; as well as some discussion regarding other sites in northern Peru. If this is what you want, it is an excellent book; however, it, in no way. is a more general discussion of its title and subtitle. I was ...

Stealing Lumby

5 reviews
Gail Fraser

NAL Trade, 2007

Gail Fraser has done it again!
This was such a delightful book, so I hope my review will help others to find this gem. (I'm one of the many guilty of writing reviews only when I feel very strongly that it is good or bad.) The 2nd book in the Lumby series is as good as the first. It's so nice to fall into a book where you already know many of the characters, but this book also works well as a standalone. I can't add too ...

Stealing Democracy: The New Politics of Voter Suppression

14 reviews
Spencer Overton

W. W. Norton, 2007

fascinating read
Mr. Overton's insightful, eye-opening presentation of critical and often overlooked problems with America's system of voting and democratic representation is a must-read for political science students, law students, and, quite frankly, anyone who votes (and wants his or her vote to count). Stealing Democracy is comprehensible, elegant, and highly stimulating.

Elizabeth Scott

HarperTeen, 2008

A captivating coming-of-age novel
Reviewed by Neha Kashmiri (age 13) for Reader Views (7/08) "My name is Danielle. I'm eighteen. I've been stealing things as long as I can remember." The three short sentences on the inside of the cover flap draw you into the story like an old friend to an adventure. Danielle's life hasn't ever been normal. She and her mother have moved from town to town for as long as she can remember. But ...
