No One Would Listen: A True Financial Thriller11 reviews
Harry Markopolos

Wiley, 2010

Pure Harry
I had the honor of "sitting across" from Harry on the Trading Desk. I feel extremely lucky to have learned the business from the best derivatives practitioner in Boston. There are very few derivatives-related books that approach required case study readings for rookies and veterans alike. Regardless of your industry, this book is one of those rare gems that will implore you to question ...

Outliers: The Story of Success881 reviews
Malcolm Gladwell

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Challeging thinking on the story of success
In this book, Malcolm Gladwell explains that success is not a random act. Rather, it arises out of the steady accumulation of a powerful set of circumstances, opportunities and advantages such as culture legacies, generation, as well as family and community history. He also uses poignant examples, from Bill Gates to his mother's own experience, to show how success is a function of persistence and ... 		  
  







  
  
America's Prophet: Moses and the American Story41 reviews
Bruce Feiler

William Morrow, 2009

Outstanding
Feiler traces the uses to which the character Moses has been put during the entire American experience - from the Pilgrims to the Civil Rights movement. His prose is eminently readable and enjoyable, and his history is accurate. More impressive, his research strategies exceed the traditional techniques of library search; he goes into unusual places (like the crown of the Statue of Liberty or a ...

Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, 2006

Loved it!!!
Mid-thirties, corporate, working mom. I like to escape into a good story when I have down time. Great, creative story. Great character development. Entire series is engaging and makes the reader want to know the story. However, beware of teenage angst. If you don't have patience for it, you may not enjoy the book. However, if you can understand that it's part of the full teenage personas, ... 		  
  







  
  
When You Reach Me88 reviews
Rebecca Stead

Wendy Lamb Books, 2009

Every line is perfect!!
Maniac Magee is my all-time favorite book. Now...this new book by Rebecca Stead will likely surpass Jerry Spinelli's masterpiece - for me. I have never read a book that manages to unfold every scene, every chapter, every paragraph, every sentence, every word in a way that connects to the plot. It is perfect storytelling. A strong female character with an unforgettable voice (Miranda!). A ...

Jeff Kinney

Amulet Books, 2009

Flamingnet.com Top Choice Book-definitely recommend this to everyone I know!
Greg Heffley is a good person. To prove it, he kicks off the book with his New Years' resolution of helping people improve. He starts by telling his mother that she should eat her potato chips more quietly. Many other incidents such as this bring Greg's father to think of military school, which he considers a great way to make Greg more manly. The book ends just as summer is about to ...

The Three Weissmanns of Westport: A Novel19 reviews
Cathleen Schine

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2010

A Wonderful Romp, with Poignancy and Intelligence
This is a very intelligent, poignant, and hilarious book that has parallels to Jane Austen's 'Sense and Sensibility'. Whether or not the reader is familiar with Austen, this is a book to love and relish. It is a thinker's book and a reader's book, a book written by an author who respects her readers' intelligence and knowledge of culture. The book begins when Josie, 78 years old, tells his ...
