Confessions of a Master Jewel Thief28 reviews
Bill Mason, Lee Gruenfeld

Villard, 2004

An inside look

It's rare to get a look inside the mind of a successful solo operator like this guy. It's well written and engaging. Maybe it's not 100% true; I wasn't there so I can't say. But it certainly has the ring of truth, and even if it's all fake it's still a fun read.

Shoot Out1 review
Peter Bart, peter guber

Perigee Trade, 2003

A Very Interesting Hollywood Book

I enjoyed reading "Shoot Out". It is filled with behind the scenes stories of how movies were made. This is really how the business of movies really happens. If you are learning to be an actor or a director or screenwriter, and want to know what happens when you hit "the big time" - this book will ...

Janet Evanovich

St. Martin's Press, 2001

The reader doesn't measure up!

+ A Story We Have Been Waiting For

I've listened to the first six Stephanie Plum books and absolutely loved the reader and laughed out loud while listening. Unfortunately, the reader for this book is just horrid, not a speck of the same characters in the voice as in the first six books. I hope this reader, Tanya Eby doesn't do ...

The Psychology of Computer Programming: Silver Anniversary Edition15 reviews
Gerald M. Weinberg

Dorset House, 1998

You write the program and the program writes you

+ One of the key books on the people side of software

I don't think you can actually "review" a book like this one. It's like reviewing Dostoevsky. Sufficient is to say that this book is still highly relevant after 35 years, which is beyond any possible comparison. In fact, it doesn't bug you the least that the author speaks about new languages ...

Obscure Gem

+ Good, but don't start here: Bukowski reflects on his brief stint in the film industry....

If you never heard of the crude, hard drinking American author, this is where to start and/or end. This is Bukowski at his finest. Good reading around "Oscar" time.................

Want to live to age 100? Read this book and emphasize the GOOD fats in your diet and you may well get there - or beyond. Don't be taken in by the naysayers or negative feedback. The allopathic medical people are well aware of the TREMENDOUS healing abilities of Omega 3 fats in the diet and have ...

Good read

this is well written, and worth your time to read. gives you insight about the reasons why men do such wicked things. It's good to know the FBI has figured these guys out, and are able to track them down more easily.
