pray for her

I never read her second novel but I have read her first. I'm just going by what I read in the reviews posted on this website. I may sound crazy or corny, especially in a world who is closed minded and dont dig deeper into situations. The girl is hurt. All her actions is because she have deep ...

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia1615 reviews
Elizabeth Gilbert

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Personal Journey not Book Review: Read with an Open Heart

+ A Triune Triumph... and Clever too!
+ If you didn't like it, you didn't get it.

I, too, agree that the previous reviews of this book have been about just that: the book instead of the journey of Ms. Gilbert through the lenses of an open mind and open heart. Elizabeth takes a risk and puts herself out there by exposing to us all her struggles with food, spirituality and ...

Marcus Luttrell

Little, Brown and Company, 2007

Awesome read!

+ True Dedication and Selflessness
+ Amazing

Hands down one of the best books I have ever read. This books should be part of the high school curriculum. The style of writing is easy to read but very detailed and draws you in so deep, you don't want to put it down. You've never felt so proud of the brave men and women serving our great ...

Elie Wiesel

Hill and Wang, 2006

Haunting and Unforgettable

+ I RECOMMEND IT.
+ Very moving, impactful, horrific......

Should be required reading for . . . for everyone who can read. Puts a face, a voice, a mind, a spirit to something that is so hard to comprehend that it often can feel more like an idea than a reality. A truly moving book. Also, I would recommend the PBS documentary made about Wiesel that was ...

Inspired...Hopeful...Daring to dream...Desperate for change

America is desperate for change. I fear how far the country will continue to spiral downward without it. Collectively, let us bless this man (and his family) with our thoughts, prayers and good intentions.
  
  











  



  
Clapton: The Autobiography300 reviews
Eric Clapton

Broadway, 2007

An eye-opener for sure, but not arrogant at all.

+ Moving and Memorable

I'm reading various negative reviews of this book, and I cannot believe that people are calling Eric Clapton arrogant in his writing. This book had its flaws, but Clapton's supposed "name dropping" and "arrogance" does not exist, at least not in this book. I'll say first that I love Eric ...

Alda's down to earth brief sketch of his life and career was very enjoyable reading. After reading it I thought that Alda turned out to be a fascinating person in spite of being raised by a not with it mother and distant father. He gave some good ideas on how to live with his recalling of the ...
