The Unquiet: A Thriller 36 reviews
John Connolly
Pocket Star, 2008
Gripping, off beat thriller!
"The Unquiet" was haunting, well written, and a bit creepy (in the best sense). Mr. Connolly always tells a good tale, and this book is no exception. His writing just seems to get better and better. Highly recommended!

Library: An Unquiet History 11 reviews
Matthew Battles
W. W. Norton & Company, 2004
At Last one Book about Books with a Clear Script...
Battle has written a book about libraries -so, about books put toguether and creating a new, chemical reaction- that has a non very common feature in this class of books: direction. Most of the books about books or related issues tends to be just catalogues of anecdotes, information, curiosities and sometimes even trivia. That's not bad. It can be very entertainning. But Battle has done more ...

An Unquiet Grave (Louis Kincaid Mysteries)11 reviews
P.J. Parrish
Pinnacle, 2006
Simply terrific!
The sisters Montee who write as P.J. Parrish have outdone themselves in an "Unquiet Grave."
They have bumped up their writing and the character of Louis Kincaid to a higher plain in the seventh novel in this wonderful series.
Louis is now a PI on Florida's Gulf Coast. His foster father (Phillip Lawrence) asks Louis to return home (Michigan) to help locate the remains of his first true love ...

Unquiet Dreams15 reviews
Mark Del Franco
Ace, 2008
Great Urban Fantasy
This book is great Urban Fantasy. It is a follow-up to Mark
Del Franco's Unshapely Things. I recommend reading them in order if you want to see the growth of the characters in the book. The book is well-written with enough humor and sarcasm thrown in to keep the story interesting. I can't wait for the next book.

Too Good to be True? Nutrients Quiet the Unquiet Brain--A Four Generation Bipolar Odyssey16 reviews
David Moyer
Nu-Tune Press, 2004
A story that is all too common...but the outcome gives hope
Great book not because it is perfect but because it is a real story about the very real odyssey that families many times go on in pursuit of a solution for their mentally ill family member. Narrative in a "you are with me kind of stream of consciousness" you feel like you have stepped into the authors world and you get to participate in the day in day out detective work to find the causes an ...

Unquiet Earth7 reviews
Denise Giardina
Ivy Books, 1994
Unquiet Earth
This true story takes place in the area where I grew up; I was familiar with its happening. My father was involved in these events. Although I cannot say I enjoyed the book, ( because it was so realistic and tragic), I found it very ,very well written and so moving I lived with it for weeks. It is written entirely from the miners view, and is therefore one sided, but is nevertheless accurate in ...

The Unquiet Dead: A Psychologist Treats Spirit Possession27 reviews
Edith Fiore
Ballantine Books, 1995
Excellent Book
I consider Dr. Fiore's work to be a groundbreaker and a forerunner in the field of psychology and hynotherapy. She discovers (and cites case histories)of spirit attachment, oppression, and/or possession as a cause for many of the puzzling and unexplained behaviors and problems of her clients. A fascinating book that every psychologist and counselor should read.

The Unquiet Grave: A Word Cycle by Palinurus8 reviews
Cyril Connolly
Persea Books, 2005
Unwittingly, a masterpiece
Cyril Connolly was a prolifically talented schoolboy. Tipped by many for great literary achievement, he wore the burden of this promise like a ball and chain for the rest of his life, anxiously ruminating on greatness.
He was one of the best read men of his generation, and felt that the virgin snow where Shakespeare and Montaigne cut their initial, deep furrows had since become flattened by ...

Eleanor Kutz, Hephzibah Roskelly
Boynton/Cook, 1991
I applaud the authors for encouraging new patterns of talk and silence among learners and between teachers and learners. - English Journal An Unquiet Pedagogy argues for a new approach to teaching English in the high school and college classroom, one that reconceives the relationship of literacy and the learner. The title is taken from an essay by Paulo Freire in his book with Donaldo Macedo entitled Literacy: Reading the Word and the ...

The Unquiet Ghost: Russians Remember Stalin11 reviews
Adam Hochschild
Mariner Books, 2003
Well Written and Insightful
This is a very important subject that Hochschild writes about with an engaging clarity and objectivity. He eloquently generalizes his observations on Russian attempts to confront its Stalinist history to remarks about human nature in general. His searing criticism of Western leaders who toured the Soviet Union during Stalin's time and found all to be well is made all the more credible given ...

The Unquiet Grave: The FBI and the Struggle for the Soul of Indian Country14 reviews
Steve Hendricks
Da Capo Press, 2007
Indian Country
Usually works with this amount of research end up a boring read and destined for the bottom of the book pile. Not so with Unquiet Grave. Good thing I'm retired as I was glued to Steve's book for three days. Whether you are from this part of Indian country or elsewhere, you will find this book a remarkable storytelling backed by solid documentation and a balanced critique of all the players from ...

Edward Lansdale: The Unquiet American 4 reviews
Cecil B. Currey
Potomac Books, 1998
Finally, A Fair Treatment of a Fascinating Life!
William Colby, the late Director of Central Intelligence, rated Edward Lansdale as one of the ten greatest spies in modern history. Edward Geary Lansdale was indeed a most unusual character: regarded as a maverick by many in the U.S. Defense and State Departments, yet greatly appreciated and even loved by nationals of the countries in which he spent much of his career: the Philippines and South ...
