Mitch Albom

Fabulous Five Freshmen
"What scares you Jalen? Death, said Jalen,... because I can't imagine a world without me in it." The cockiness that was the Fab Five is captured perfectly by Mitch Albom in his book the Fab Five; Basketball, Trash Talk and the American Dream. Like Albom's other books Tuesdays with Morrie and 5 People You Meet in Heaven, his story telling engulfs the reader and transforms a normal story into a ...

Ryan's Review
I thought this book book was a good book. It probably is one of the best in the series. It is heart pounding suspenseful,thrilling and full of action. It was heart pounding and suspenseful because when the avalanche comes they get freaked.
This book is about Jack and Ashley going Alaska's Denali National Park and Reserve to investigate the death of two male wolverines. They bring a ...

Wolverine Publishing, 2006
Great book for anyone spending time there
My wife and I have skied at Aspen for years and already knew our way around Ajax, Highlands, and Snowmass. But Neal's book has shown us some trails that we'd missed. It's a convenient size to carry and he adds some good local's stories.

Astonishing X-Men: X-23 - Innocence Lost (Wolverine)5 reviews
Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost, ...
Marvel Comics, 2006
The most interesting story I've read for some time.
First of all, I am new to the X-Men, so I can't very well judge what the seasoned fanatics will think of this. After all, the X-Men themselves don't even appear- except for a flashback showing Wolverine.
But make no mistake- this story is brilliant.
Here's what you should note:
1.) The drama is very real here. It is a highly emotional plot that works so well that it would probably make ...

I read the whole Death of Superman saga when it was originally published in the early 90's. I was completely hook with the storyline.

Rutherford George Montgomery

Best book I've read in over 40 years
I first read this book in Junior High school in Minnesota. I really enjoyed the story and found myself cheering for the Wolverine who was the main character. The title "carcajou" is the Indian word for the wolverine meaning "Devil". This clever and most powerful animal on the planet (based on his size) captivated my mind completely. For the last forty plus years since reading this ...
