Colin Channer

One World/Ballantine, 1998

An Amazing Literary Journey That Took My Breath Away
Colin Channer to me is like a modern day Picasso with a pen. His dialogue is compelling, soul-stirring and purposeful and his characters are engaging. You can almost close your eyes and imagine yourself seeing the story unfold as if you were a fly on the wall at a gallery in New York, a beach house in Jamaica, or the Streets of London. This is the mark of a truly great storyteller. Our main ...

The Revolution: A Manifesto

657 reviews
Ron Paul

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

A Clear Argument for Liberty -- and a Solution to What Ails Us
Ron Paul's _The Revolution: A Manifesto_ is NOT an anti-government tirade. It is a clarion call for a return to the kind of government the American Revolutionaries fought for. So, for example, in foreign policy, Congressman Paul calls for a return to the posture toward the world that was favored by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson: peace, commerce, and friendship with all nations, ...

Larry McMurtry

Simon & Schuster, 1985

Wow!
Now that was a good book. Larry McMurtry is an amazing writer, so whitty. I fell in love with the characters; so much that it's been weeks since I read the book and I still can't stop thinking about them.

Truman

281 reviews
David McCullough, 2008

A brilliant biography
"Truman" is a much praised book and deservedly so. There is hardly a need for another review, in addition to the 280 already posted here, so I will be brief. Above all, it is superbly readable, as entertaining as a good novel. I experienced a sense of regret having finished it today. It is a clear and balanced portrait of a leader and a wonderful study of understated, firm and steady ...

Hawaii The Big Island Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook (Hawaii the Big Island Revealed)

Andrew Doughty

Wizard Publications Inc., 2008

This is simply the best guidebook available!
I compared it with three other guidebooks, and this one is hands down by far the best. I also like his sense of humor, and his ability to give us foreigners a realistic taste of the local culture. It is down to earth, not superficial, and it must have been a lot of work to write this guide! The first thing I did when I arrived in Oahu for the second segment of my trip was to go to the bookstore ...

Jacqueline Marcell

Impressive Pr, 2000

Thank you for a WONDERFUL book. Both entertaining AND full of valuable information.
I wish to extend a huge thank you to Jacqueline for writing this book! My mother-in-law had been diagnosed with dementia and had progressed to point where we felt it was no longer safe to allow her to continue to live alone. Our problem was that she was fighting us "tooth and nail" at every turn. She did not realize the scope of her problem. She felt she merely could not remember things once ...

Homer Hickam

Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 1999

Amazing True Story
Homer Hickam grew up in a rural isolated mountain town but went on to win the National Science Fair. This book is his story and how he was successful. I bought 24 copies of this book to inspire my advanced 6th grade Reading class. They loved the book. In our discussions they mentioned never giving up. Homer and his friends kept trying until they had success. Thank you for sharing your ...

Dan Poynter's Self-Publishing Manual

Para Publishing, 2006

Self Publishing? You Need This Book
When I self-published my book, "Welcome Home: A Guide for Foster, Adoptive, and Treatment Foster Parents," I used Dan's book religiously. It's so worn out, I have to order a new copy for my forthcoming book [tenatively titled, 'Diagnosis, Assessment, and Treatment of Foster and Adopted Children, 2009]. I sold 5,000 copies, though two editions. Could I have done this without Dan's book? Perhaps, ...

Mick Foley

Topeka Bindery, 2001

Laugh, cry, get blown away with this spellbindingly heartfelt autobiography, with no ghostwriters attached!
Amazing that in a few weeks, Mick Foley poured his life and soul into 760 pages of notebook paper that would make it, lightly cut and without any major edits, onto book, and earn it's New York Times #1 Bestseller's List. If only it weren't for that Oprah! (readers of the book will understand) Starting from childhood, he makes it quick, but sweet as he tells humorous stories about his friends, ...

The Company She Keeps
Having lived in Rochester all my life, I recognized a lot of the names that Georgia wrote about, even remember her as the Kodak Summer Girl. Excellent read

Make Your Own Damn Movie!: Secrets of a Renegade Director

213 reviews
Lloyd Kaufman

L.A. Weekly Books, 2003

Inspiring and informative!
Even if you have already been through all the stages of filmmaking yourself, this book is an inspiring battle cry for the TRUE indie filmmaker. It also made me laugh out loud several times. I happened to be on the NYC subway when this happened and it made some of my fellow passengers scared of me. What other book about filmmaking can do that?

Lloyd Kaufman, James Gunn, ...

Berkley Trade, 1998

Uplifting... and very funny.
How much do you love movies? If you are anything like me, the answer is simply, "a lot". As lovers of film we've all sat around and thought about making our own films. Invariably though, the discussions and daydreams of movie glory fall to the way side. You see the truth of the matter is none of us love film as much as Lloyd Kaufman, head of Troma. Lloyd never let those dreams of filmmaking ...

Clay Aiken

Random House Audio, 2004

Incredible and Inspiring!
This book is truly a masterpiece! I read this book because I am a Clay Aiken fan, and I thought, 'Hey, a book by Clay Aiken, this should be cool.' I would recommend this book for anyone! Even if you aren't a fan of Clay, this is still an inspiring book. Let's just say: I laughed, I cried, it moved me!" I'm ordering the book and the audio cds. This is one of those books that you read front to ...

Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie (Dear America)

Kristiana Gregory

Live Oak Media, 2005

Wonderful
I love 'Oregon Trail' stories and this one was no exception. The story is stunningly written, and a careful line is trod between emphasizing the dangers and discomforts of the trail without making the story seem scary or unpleasant to the reader. My only real gripe about this book (and not even a big enough gripe to drop a star, so take it for the whining that it is) is that the adult ...

Thomas Lucier

Wiley, 2004

one of the top foreclosure books
I spent a weekend reading the book. Loved it. The author knows what he is talking about. He also has a good website where you can download the proper letter you should send out to people in distress. I own a foreclosure company and have adapted some of his techniques, nevertheless (not to take away any merit from the authorm but instead to enhance the next version of his book) our company ...

E.B. Sledge

Presidio Press, 2007

I understand my Grandfather
I never fully understood my grandfather till I read this book as part of a collage class on WWII. He never talks about the war. He has storys of his time in boot camp, and his time in Japan after the war ended, but none during the war its self. I never understood what he went through, or how it made him who he is till I read this book. I knew he was a marine, and that he was stationd in ...

If Chins Could Kill : Confessions of a B Movie Actor

Bruce Campbell

L.A. Weekly Books, 2002

My favourite Autibiography
Such a great read, I mustve recommended it to at least 100 people who have all enjoyed it. Such a fun time to be had making your way through this one. I love the emails from fans he has included too. Also the paperback has a bonus chapter updating you on his book tour from when the hardback came out.

Gary Larson, Steve Martin

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2003

A Masterpiece Of Comic Brillance
"Every one of these cartoons is just something that drifted into my head when I was alone with my thoughts. And, for better or worse, I `jotted them down. It was only later, when perhaps I received an angry letter from someone, that it struck me: Hey! Some one's been reading my diary!" Gary Larson, from the preface to The Complete Far Side How do you explain 'Far Side'? A brilliant comedic ...

MICHAEL J. FOX

BANTAM, 2003

A thought-provoking intimate account
I was amazed at what an excellent writer Michael J. Fox is -- his story was candidly written with insightful accounts of his incredible journey. I was also impressed that the proceeds from the book all go to research for a cure for Parkinson's disease. Way to go, Michael!
