Great if you know what you're getting
I will admit my bias - I am a huge "fan" of General Franks. This book is about his life, his perspectives and experiences. There is a ton of stuff we'd never get to know about if it weren't for this book. One thing I admired most was his professionalism in writing it. If you're looking for some "tell all" expose, this ain't it. General Franks speaks respectfully about his bosses throughout the ...

Best Clancy Novel
How can you not like a book with a line such as : "Oh no, not in their wildest nightmares have they ever met anyone like me. The name they had given him in Vietnam boiled up from the past. Snake. " corny, jingoistic, call it whatever elitist dribble you want, i think this book rocks!! Apart from this, the research he puts into the book should also be commended. I only hope, if at all ...

Once of Clancy's finest Works!
This is an incredible book. Mr. Clancy has managed to weave an extremely complex story of drugs, betrayal, murder, honor and ultimately justice. Woven throughout this book's pages are many great moral values, creating a truly positive reading experience. QUICK NOTE This book has high levels of violence (hey it's a military novel) and not a little swearing. (Comprable every two hours of reading ...

Review of The Final Quest
This is one of the few books I read over and over. I believe it reveals the heart of God better than any book other than the Bible. As I read this book, and re-read it, I am reminded that God sees everything, especially people's hearts, very differently than we do and makes me want to see them through His eyes! The introductiion is a must-read for everyone who has encountered the revelation power ...

Visions of Sugarplums is Truly a Fabulous Holiday Season Cookbook
This is truly an old-fashioned style smorgasboard of a holiday season book. The origins of the holiday days in December and January are detailed and the recipes included have a meaning specific to Christmas, Hanukah and various European-celebrated holidays during that time of the year. Marvelous cakes, scrumptious candies, fabulous traditional cookies...I have used this book for over 28 years for ...

I really was relieved to have found this book on Amazon and that it could be expressed delivered. All the other places I looked gave me a 2 week wait. I needed the book right away since I started my class late and homework was due like in 2 days!! I also liked that I can keep track of the entire delivery process. I was at work and I decided to see at what time my book was possibly going to be ...

My favorite Childhood book
This is the only book I truly remember from my childhood. It is very difficult to find, so I recommend that you purchase whatever condition you can locate. It has charming illustrations in it, as well as a wildly imaginative plot line. The vacuum and the penny illustration was one I remembered very vividly. So often in life, upturned noses and superficial conceits can be so destructive to ...

Absolutely Fascinating
Sugar-Plums and Sherbet is not a quick read, but it's a fascinating one. The author goes into the history, chemistry, and early manufacture of sugar candies in Britain, and even includes a few recipes for unusual treats. This book is full of facts you probably never knew. (For example: Sugar was considered a medicine when it first arrived in Britain. Or: some people boycotted sugar when slave ...

Ummm.... Wow!!!
This was by far the best book in the series. The action, suspense, comedy, and elements of saddness blend so well, that its hard not to love the books for what they are. Unlike the last installments, "Assassins" takes on a darker premise. The characterization gets much more refined, because of the writers ability of putting the reader more into the minds of the character... whereas in the ...

THIS is how to build a textbook!
Con Mucho Gusto is a logical, well-sequenced, detailed, and user-friendly textbook with superb support materials. I began learning Spanish with this text in university in 1985 and am now teaching with it in my university night classes. This work puts to shame the modern "whole language" muddled mess that has been infiltrating pedagogy in the United States. Con Mucho Gusto provides a fine ...

Another great book from Cornwall
The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell - Historical fiction set at the time of Alfred the Great (before he was great) in England when the vikings invaded and threatened to conquer all of Anglo-Saxon England's 4 kingdoms. Bernard Cornwall is one of my favorite authors of historical fiction and this book is no exception. My only problem is that as the first book in a new series I have to wait for the ...

The Duke and the dressmaker --
Ah, yes. The Duke and the dressmaker -- once over that particular hurdle, however, nothing else in this delightful book is at all routine or hum-drum. It's a perfect Christmas present, with its cleverly woven tale of hidden treasures, and plum everythings! Jane Nichol runs away from the horrendous match proposed by her step-mother, but is much better prepared for survival than most females of ...

Fast Paced and Thrilling
If you are a fan of Tom Clancy you will love this book. It has all the aspects a book require to make it a great read. Twist after twist this book will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. The events in this book are so realistic you might as well be reading a non-fiction book, that's part of what makes this book so good. If haven't read the books leading up to this I would ...

Love Enjoy... and Devour!!
I really enjoy this series. Although it has some minor flaws... such as the somewhat dry writing style, scarce characterization, and the fact that the series seems without end, I couldnt help myself but to be sucked into the plot. I admit, it could be better, but I couldnt put it down and devoured the book in as little as 4 days.

Best I've read
I'm going to try to explain the folly of the 1 star reviews for this book. #1. WORLD vs CHARACTER Goodkind did not set out to make a world first (as did Tolkien) and then tell a story centered around an event in that world. Goodkind is a character builder and as he himself has said could have written this book in any style or genre, his focus is on the characters and their experiences. NOT ...

I Like It
I love this book. I had to force myself to but it down so I don't read though it all at once. I find that the characters are very real, and other than the initial event (the Rapture) all of the following events sound realistically possible (in a novel). I have read many negative reviews from Christians denouncing that it doesn't exactly follow the Bible. And from others saying that it's ...
