He had a collection of pieces from lots of different countries, but messages were remarkably the same - human beings caught up in situations and conflict far beyond their making and often ...

The King and I: The Uncensored Tale of Luciano Pavarotti's Rise to Fame by His Manager, Friend and Sometime ... 17 reviews Herbert Breslin, Anne Midgette
Doubleday, 2004
TALENT AND CHARACTER IN UNEQUAL MEASURE
This would be a five-star review if it were not for a couple of revelations about the tenor which are the result of mean-spiritedness masquerading as honest intimacy. By contrast, Pavorotti's dignified response at the end of the book causes me to wonder if he read it thoroughly. Otherwise, the ...

The Love Spell: 6An Erotic Memoir of Spiritual Awakening 19 reviews Phyllis Curott
Gotham, 2004
Who cast the love spell?
+ Book review + Insightful and interesting, but not without fault...
If one of the author's goals was to punch a hole in the western wall between fact and fiction, she did an amazing job. The genre speaks for itself and is the perfect teaching venue. While reading I asked myself a number of questions: Can a metaphor really be a metamorphous? Is the author Phyllis ...
