I was looking for a romance and read an introduction to a witchcraft witch hunt trilogy with only a cursory romance on the side. After reading several other Roberts' entertaining and satisfying romances, this book disappointed me.

For a couple of years I avoided The Hunger Games book and movie. I thought it would be like "Lord of the Flies," which I had read in college and found distressing and depressing. I'm not sure why I decided to read the first book but by the second chapter I was hooked. I was surprised and pleased to find there were two sequels. I needed to find out what happened to Katniss, Peeta, and their world. I sped through all three books and have watched the movie twice. I found Katniss' bravery and survival instincts captivating. I could feel the confusion and need she felt in her relationship with Peeta. And I thought the symbolism and metaphors within the story, of a country's fight agains crass indifference and tyranny, were profound. I was happy I decided to read them on Kindle. I was able to download the sequels fast - maintaining steady momentum through the addictive plot and its events.

Okay, I'm a Michael Connelly fan. So any book he writes I will read and like. Jack is a refreshingly different character, and I like his press point of view. But he isn't Harry. Other than that the book was a fantastic read. The ending was as close to a surprise as I could get, except my intuition kept niggling at me. And I like that the story was set in both Denver - where some of my family lives - and LA, where I grew up. If you like thrilling mysteries with bizarre twists, you'll love this book.

I have been a fan of Ken Follett since I read Pillars of the Earth twenty years ago. Winter of the World caught my attention when it came out, but I read Fall of Giants before I started it. Both novels are wonderful for several reasons. First and foremost, the continuing story is a great read. I swallowed both books in less than two weeks. The second reason is the history is well researched and vivid. As much as I have read about WW II, I had no idea how close to victory Hitler and the Axis came, except for the brave battle fought by Britain until the U.S. joined the war. Third, since I am a writer of historical fiction, I studied Mr. Follett's masterful way of building the world of the past and blending fiction with fact, and his expert handling of many story threads and characters over decades of time. Reading his books has been like taking a graduate course in writing historical novels. I am waiting for the third book, wondering where he will start it and what will the happen to primary families through the long cold war.

I have read many books about Greeks and Crete and Turks. My mother's mother came from there, born just after the last Cretan rebellion against the Ottomans. Even so, the fierceness of the enemies, the ferocious fighting, the adamantine resistance of the freedom fighters astounded me. I asked myself if I could survive in that hate-filled and violent environment. What would I have been like if I grew up and married into such a patriarchal and rigid society? And yet I grew prouder of my Cretan blood. Freedom or Death, Don't Tread on Me: those patriotic sentiments run in my blood. Kazantzakis is not for the faint at heart. And he is worth every page, with his brilliant descriptions of the country, the times, the historical events, and the dark and wild interior of people's hearts.

When I first started to read this book I read a story every few days or so. Then I got hooked about knowing this quirky, energetic guy, and the uplifting feeling I got when I belted down a few more doses of positive thinking. By the end of the book I was feeling good, confident in finishing my own projects and meeting my own challenges. I thought about my daughter and decided she needed a dose of happy, too. But I couldn't part with my copy. What if I wanted a pepper upper myself? So I bought her a copy of her own, on its way with 2-day shipping. Already she's happier when I told her the gift was coming her way. And a gift it is.

I've read many books on how to write. This was by far the most enjoyable. Stephen King illustrated his points by creating a living example of vivid use of language, engaging stories, and driving home his key points. What I liked the most was his description of how he lived his life. It's clear that to be a writer you must read and write and read and write and read and write. That's how you learn to use all the tools in your three-layered tool box. That and be patient and trust the process. It may not sound like much, but it's already made a difference in how I view my writing life and how I review my current drafts. Oh, and I read the book out of order. I read the C.V., then skipped to On Living, the Postscript before I began The Toolbox. This sequence was interrupted by my perusal of Further More, Parts II and III and a wander to Wikipedia to review his list of published books. Awesome.

The Messiah is, by far, my favorite piece of classical music. It has been a Christmas tradition for me to attend singalong Messiah concerts for many years. This score has been the choice of the choral conductors and organizers of the concerts of which I have been a part. I bought this book to give to my son-in-law for Christmas, as part of a package that also included a recording of a radio program about the Messiah and Handel, and a CD of the music. He is an musician, so I knew he would enjoy it, and I wanted to provide him with material to share with my granddaughters, so they could also become acquainted with this great piece of music. He was very pleased to receive the gift.

This collection of stories, told by the people who lived them is an exceptional view of life in California before the white invaders came. Margolin weaves these tales together very well, giving context where needed and providing the proper setting for these slice of life gems. The book paints a realistic picture of human beings who chose for thousands of years to live at one with their surroundings and their own traditions, rather than subjugate nature. Would I choose that life? I doubt it. But do I value the Indians' perspective and spiritual sense of the world? Absolutely. And I also wish that the foreigners who came to California and stole from and subjugated the natives, would have valued them and their world view too.

This provides an excellent, heart-rending portrayal of the Chios Massacre. It also displays the writing style and sensitivities of America in the mid-1800s - dramatic and declamatory. Christophoros Plato Castanis was a very brave, adventurous, and sympathetic being.

I'm reviewing this book from the inside. I am not only a contributor; I was also on the selection committee. I have read all the entries many times, and I am proud of the talent that the Tri-Valley Branch displays. We had a great number of selections to choose from. The authors were easy to work with in perfecting their work, and the results are varied in topics and treatment. So if you are looking for humor, drama, memoirs, travel pieces, children's lit, poetry, and even a recipe for deviled eggs, this is the book to buy.

From the very first chapter this book took me on a ride through cutthroat courts, despicable doctors' offices, a murderous Michigan landscape, to the slimy shores of a Florida swamp. Casey Lawrence got the roller coaster ride of her life on a ticket bought by her ex-husband Derek. Only her dogged determination, sassy attitude, inquiring mind, and sheer guts helped her to crack the case involving doctors, drug dealers, and those she holds dear - with the help of her long-time cop buddy, Rad. Reading this book I learned how to simultaneously hold my breath in fear and laugh out loud as this saucy lady solves her first whodunit.

I read this book over the 2013 winter holidays, on a trip to Europe and back, along with several other books. I thought I'd switch between them, but once I started I couldn't put this book down. Story after poem after memoir, I kept turning the pages and dog-earing those I thought were good to great. I stopped when I realized my book was getting entirely creased at the top corner of each new selection. The truth be told, I didn't expect it from a club anthology, but this book provides a broad selection of themes and genres, well-told and expertly edited. I recommend it to any person with an ounce of literary interest or intention. It's a winner.

This book is a great compendium of primary sources if you need knowledge of historical Istanbul. I especially used the information in the last chapter to form an idea of everyday life during the Ottoman Empire. The subjects were fascinating in their own right.

Albert Rothman's picture on the cover of his autobiography says it all: full of life, beans, and the dickens. His amazingly detailed memories of a time before most of us alive on this planet were born were interesting, funny, and at times poignant. I now feel I know Brooklyn street by street and a lot about the games, boyhood collections, period treats - enough to write a novel about that time and place and feel I'm on solid ground. Mr. Rothman candidly expresses his feelings about his friends and family, allowing us readers to know them and him intimately. I appreciate that he took the time and love to record his piece of the American Experience.

I heard the author being interviewed on NPR and became intrigued by this book, most likely because I have lived in California for most of my life and felt many earthquakes. I had to buy it, but was unprepared for the sheer delight I've experienced in reading it. Dvorak certainly has a talent to tell stories. I'm now reading where Hill announces his findings, at the new, now demolished, Statler Hotel in 1952, which finally began to sell the theory that earthquakes have moved landmasses horizontally along the San Andreas Fault many, many miles. What a great depiction of the convoluted academic and scientific process of understanding the mysteries of the universe, and the seemingly oddball geniuses that can see past conventional wisdom to the next nugget of truth. I'm riveted. And along the way, through my Kindle pages, I've learned so much about California history, botany, geology, the 1906 earthquake, UC Berkeley, and land that I live on. I will be satisfied when I get to the end and at the same time sad that the ride is over.

After reading Dale Manolakas' first novel, Lethal Lawyers, I thought I'd read this novel as well. I was amazed that Ms. Manolakas could depict the "theater" in as much detail and drama (no pun intended) as she did the "law." A very versatile scene setter, this author is also excellent at introducing quirky, well-drawn characters. She doesn't hold back on the villains and her narrator in revealing both laudable and nasty personality traits, all told with a good amount of wry humor. The unfortunate part about reading the story is that I missed most of a good night's sleep. I was not able to put the book down, waiting to see if the show would go on and justice served.

How could I not love this show? It combines history, the English nobility, drama, romance, war, peace - well, I could go on and on and on. I had just finished reading Ken Follett's Fall of Giants and Winter of the World, the perfect backdrop for this series. Despite my best intentions and the impending Christmas holiday, I devoured both tapes in less than a week. Now I'm going cold turkey until the DVD comes out with the third season. Please don't tell me what happens to Bates.

Part of my heritage is Cretan. My grandmother, Eleni, was born in Crete in 1895. She was an amazing woman, I've been told. When she was a teenager she went to Athens for nurses training. At 18 she immigrated to America. Yes, I met her, but I had to be told. After those early adventures, she folded into the life of Greektown Detroit and never learned English. So she was and is still a mystery to me.In 1998 I visited Crete with my husband. I became as enthralled with the island as Karl is. We traveled the same crazy roads - my husband in drivers' heaven, me white-knuckled the whole way. The scenery was dramatic or mystical or pastoral or just plain beautiful. The sights and spirit of these travels, which Karl wrote about, expressed all of that. Most special to me was my visit to Chania, where Eleni grew up. We wandered the old town streets, while I imagined where my great-grandfather's candy shop would have been.I am now on a mental odyssey to understand my grandmother. Since she only spoke Greek and I only spoke English, I never really knew her. I ate her delicious food; she nursed me with paregoric and holy water when I was sick; and I ate almost all of the chocolate candies that she kept on her coffee table. But the woman I was named after I couldn't understand, in so many ways. So I'm writing a book about her - fictionalized. Too much of the facts are missing to write a memoir.That led me to an online search for books about the island and the discovery of this treasure. It is a tale told by a man who is captivated by Crete. He writes about his affinity with eyes wide open to all the fascination and foibles of this place of great glories and terrible subjugations. I have laughed at his adventures, imagined his wife's reactions to his crazier forays, and saw through his eyes the wondrous sites of this magical island. It is more than description of the island's landscape, it is a landscape of the mind - once his, now anyone's who reads this fact full, sight full, thoughtful, and spirit-filled book.

This book combines the occult and science, love and fear, and a whole lot of surprises. A tautly told tale, I enjoyed the twists and turns of the fast-paced plot as I pondered, "How will this end?" Of course, it was just like and nothing like I expected. A very good read.

A friend told me about this book about a lawyer in LA. Since I'm a great fan of Michael Connelly and Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer, I thought I'd give it a try. It also helped that I'm Greek woman, like the heroine, Sophia Christopoulos. I loved the book. I couldn't put it down. I was up between midnight to 5 am. I put my work aside to finish the book. I had to find out how Sophia would survive the sharks at the law firm she joined and her own ill-considered decisions as she started her new career. I'll be reading the next book in the series for sure, after I catch up on my work. If you're looking for a fast-moving, fascinating read about the inner-workings of the legal profession in LA (the city of angels) gone over to the dark side, this is the book for you.

This book was just on the ok side. It had way way way to much discription and not enough dialogue. I kept reading and reading waiting to hear the characters say something anything to anyone. It was to far between for my liking.The characters are good. the male characters are very intresting, but I do not think that the Author explored the relationships with each character enough.The end of the book left me wanting more of the story that seems to have been skipped.If you are into discriptive books this is the one for you, if not stay away or be prepared to skim many pages.

I bought this to use in my new Asus 1005PR in the SD slot for ReadyBoost. It failed the speed tests not matter what I did... and I did everything from full format NTFS, to setting the SD driver for increased performance to compressing, all of which others on the web said might get a non speed conforming SD card up to ReadyBoost standards, all of which failed.I suppose this is a good price for an SD of this size, but if you are looking to use this for ReadyBoost you need to go with a higher speed memory.

I knew soon as I turned it on that it would be good. It took all but 10 mins. to set it up. I vacuumed the hole house and it worked great. I went thru 3 vacuums in 1 month. They were all under $100 before I decided enough is enough. I had a Kirby before that and it worked great. I had it for 11 yrs. before it just stopped working. Granted I paid more for the Kirby than the Dyson but it seems to stack up to the Kirby. So far so good and it's really easy to use and clean the filters. I'm happy I bought it.

I just set them up yesterday and as far as gaming. It's unbelievable. I can hear sounds that I never knew were in the game. I can hear if someone is walking behind me, to the left or right of me. I can hear from what side their shooting at me. Now as far as playing my ipod on them. I tried and it really doesn't sound right. I will probably give it another try. If not, I will stick with my JBL speakers for my music. Bottom line, I LOVE THEM.I just finished watching movies over the weekend with my kids. It's unbelievable how good the movies sounded on the speakers. I will say it again "I Love Them". Worth the money I spent on them.

I had this unit for a few days now and it is so quiet. As far as how it works, it's too early to tell. I hope it cleans the water like it says it does.Well after a few day i can honestly say that it made my water really really clean. One bad part is the white connecters that stand out like a white horse.

I bought a very expensive hammock chair and stand years ago and finally needed to replace the chair. I had seen others that looked more plush but really didn't want to invest so much money. This chair fit my existing stand perfectly and at a great price. The green stripe is really bright, but has faded in the Arizona sun already. It's a comfortable chair and a good value. I'd recommend it.

Well i ordered this June 12,2012 and i just received it today June 21,2012 so i didn't like that it took so long to ship. But the hair straightener i absolutely love. my sister had this and i would always use it. and then she moved out and i was like i need to buy that straightener. i have very long hair past my breasts so this straightener helps get the job done in 20 minutes. After i am done doing my hair it makes my hair look very healthy. Also, very good for curly crazy hair like my moms. All other straighteners would make her hair look poofy after but with this one it keeps it nice and straight. I would order this again in the future.

I just received my eye shadows today! I was really excited when i opened the package. It is exactly what i ordered. I ordered this June 13, 2012 and it was here at my house already in two days and i had choose the standard shipping 5-9 days. So i was really impressed when it was here early. None of the eye shadows where cracked or anything either. That was my main concern this whole time but they where all in perfect condition. I haven't used my eye shadows yet but i am excited to. I would order these again in the future.

This is the nicest stroller, you can unzip it in the front or back. It folds up so easily with one push on the handle. The tray with 2 cup holders is great for water or pop.The Big basket under holds everything. Well constructed. I saw them for $100 more, this is a great price and product.

The length was great, unfortunately it lasted about two days then the wire at the plug in part broke. I should have known better than to buy this junk.

I'm not sure how I feel about this final book. It has the action, excitement and emotion of the previous books that make this series so awesome. It continues to explore the internal struggle of the issues that each character has as well as the characters' complex relationship with one another. I love the way this series has evolved from Divergent to Insurgent & ending with Allegiant. I love all the characters, especially Tris & Four & I'm really sad that this series has ended!

That's how long it took m to read it. Having read both this and the sequel "You Suck" (which I also highly recommend) Moore has placed himself high on the list of my favorite authors. I was laughing out loud the entire duraton of the book. Don't wait. Read this now and to avoid disappointment get a few of Moore's other books at the same time so you're not waiting.

I've gotten into the habit of drinking a cup of chai just about every day. Since I've never been able to make it with my own spiced I just go with the bagged stuff and this is the stuff I found I love. The vanilla chai is good on it's own but at the suggestion of my friend, I've started brewing vanilla chai with the spiced chai and I've never gone back!

I first got this book when my friend casually mentioned it in conversation. It sounded like something new and interesting so I picked it up when I got the chance. What I found was nothing near what I had expected. Several stories all blended into one provided the base for what makes this such a mind boggling book. The structure and style of Mark Z. Danielewski is really what scrambles the brain and makes the reader question what is real and what is fake. While reading it, I could feel the same paranoia that was rising in Johnny and the terror going on in the house plays on that paranoia. I will say though that this book is not for every reader. Those who must read a page in the standard one page after another style will not make it far in HoL. Those who are up for Danielewski's literary maze will certainly be in for a treat.

I picked this to read in one of my classes this year and found it incredibly easy to get through. The story was good and I found myself looking foward to reading it. It places you in a situation with no easy answer. Everyone with a brother or sister will tell you that they always thought that so and so was the favoured child. Picoult explores what happens when parents have to act on using one child to save the life of their other.As I mentioned, the book was great until the end. I found it as a horrible cop out that came off like it was written in a late night crunch to meet a deadline.

I've never really been into YA so I was skeptical when my friend recommended it to me. However as a fan of works like 1984, Brave New World, and Farenheit 451, the utopian plotline won me over.In short, I was glad I picked it up. I was immediately enthralled and once I got the 2nd book, I finished it in a day leaving me anxious for the 3rd release.The Uglies trilogy is a great YA series. The utopian/govt control themes make it an intelligent cut above the rest of the YA fluff and the romantic plot in it helps keep its appeal to the average teen.Great work!

I first got into Rise Against early last year when my friend sent me a few of thier songs on the computer. Most of them from the Unraveling but a few from RPM (Blood Red, White And Blue and Like the Angel). She had me hooked. I didn't buy a Rise Against cd until I got Siren Song Of The Counter Culture. That cd never left my cd player unless it was to go into my portable cd player for about a month and a half. That was when I bought Revolutions Per Minute. As I write this review is plays in the background. I loved it. The mix of melody and rawness of Tim's vocals was great and it made me feel like i haven't felt listening to the typical crap that's normally on. While I could easily list every song as my favorite, some stand out songs to me are "Like The Angel", "Blood Red, White And Blue", "Last Chance Blueprint", and "Torches".In short, this cd is amazing. Get is as soon as humanly possible and then pick up The Unraveling and Siren Song Of The Counter Culture.

In this day and age where basically anytihng is called "punk", it's refreshing to see a band like The Briefs. Since I got the cd I've been listening to it non-stop. The only reason I take it out of my cd player is to put it in my car when I go out. The songs are fast, catchy, fun, and actually carry some political messages to them. I saw them on Warped 2 days ago (I went for them and Dropkick Murphys) and they put on the best live show I've seen in a long time.Bottom line: The Briefs rock. go buy their cds and try to see them live as often as you possibly can.

My theory with why some people have rated Decemberunderground lowly is because they were expecting Sing The Sorrow 2. If they were the least bit familiar with AFI they'd know that from Shut Your Mouth on, all their cds have been different.Anyways, if you're buying this cd expecting Sing The Sorrow you might not be as thrilled as you would hope to be over it. If you're a longtime fan or just looking for something new, this cd doesn't disappoint.

A few years ago my friend had me listen to songs from a new cd by a band she'd been listening to. I was blown away. It was hardcore, raw, and the poltical songs actually had meaning. That band was Rise Against and the cd none other than their classic Revolutions Per Minute.Ever since, I've been hooked.I purchased The Sufferer and The Witness the day after it came out and I wasn't disappointed. This is album though, is Rise Against's most polished by far. Tim's voice isn't as gritty in some songs but you still can tell that you're listening to Rise Against.TS&TW; is a great album for both new fans and RA die hards and it doesn't disappoint. Neither do their live shows, I highly recommend seeing thme live if you ever get the opportunity. They're most definately worth it.My standout songs are:Prayer Of The Refugee (In my opinion, the best song on the whol album)The Approaching Curve (Definately something new for RA but it works really well. Tim proves he is and has always been a great writer as the lyris come from a short story written by him years ago)Bricks (Classic Rise Against, short fast and loud)

I've never been one for traditional workouts. I can't go to a gym and most aerobic workouts bore me so I only do them once. I picked up the NYC Ballet worour because I love to dance (though I haven't properly danced in years) and because I wanted a workout that would give me the results like a dancer. (nice lean muscles, better posture, etc.) I wasn't disappointed.I finally have a workout that I LOOK FOWARD to doing! I usually do Disk 1 3-4 times a week. The results have been amazing. My clothes are fitting better/looser and I've noticed a dramatic improvement in my posture.I've also noticed that I am more flexible and that I can do more of the stretches to a greater degree with more ease.I've tried doing Disk 2 but as of right now it's too advaned for me. However, when you do go to Disk 2 there's a very helpful video glossary so you can get the movements down exactly like the dancers to maximize your workout.All in all, for anyone looking for a great challenging ballet workout with room for improvement, I cannot recommend the NYC Ballet Workout set enough!5 Stars!!

I got this mouth guard after my dentist told me I grind my teeth and suggested I get one to prevent further damage. I liked the fact that it didn't have to be boiled and had the bite pads. However, I have a narrow mouth and the guard fits awkwardly. I can barely talk and on more that one night it has kept me from getting to sleep. The guard has also caused my gums to bleed and some of my teeth to shift. All my issues come down to the fit really so if you can find one that's the right size this can be a really good mouth guard.

There is something about Canfield's ability to drip honey on your tongue as you listen to yourself reading her prose. "He hoarded his pennies... foregoing the ding-dong of the waffleman's cart." This caught me right away and I just really enjoy how she shows and does not tell. I was not entirely drawn into the whole book as I found it had some peaks and valleys and so did my attention span. This was more than made up for by the wonderful scattering of fantastic descriptions and an indepth feel to each character. I don't want to give any spoilers! I would gift this to someone who is intelligent and requiring of proper nourishment for their mind! Great writing deserves a great review.

The story is great. I liked how the first few sentences put me somewhere else and I was witnessing a stabbing from the reaper. This was an effective way of holding my attention. However, the choppy writing and repeating of same descriptive words within paragraphs made it a little less of a smooth ride. This is a very original take on some classic macabre and almost superhero-esque concepts and other than the delivery, this is a good read and certainly well worth the price I paid. I recommend to anyone who likes game of thrones and the crow. I'll have to read it again in a few months and see if I can't find another star. Sometimes you just have to try the same wine twice to get a real taste of it.

I haven't finished the book. However, I had the privilege of meeting the authors. The Texas Master Naturalist-Cradle of Texas went as a group to Matagorda Island. We were escorted by Wayne & Martha McAlister while there. The book was a nice addition, because I can now go back and read about what I saw while there, as well as see what else is there we didn't see. The book is a great read for those interested in one of the last untouched islands, being guarded and protected by the federal as well as state government. I highly recommend this book, not only are the authors well educated on their topic, but they lived there for ten years learning about all of the islands wonderful environmental and ecological delights. What an opportunity for us to preserve this for our posterity! I am grateful that Amazon still caries such a great copy of this book. I was so delighted when I saw what great condition the book itself was in.

I had problems with this router the moment I got it home. I had to use the 90-day free customer service line 5 times in the first 3 months of having the router.

I would like to give this an outstanding review. It is comfortably designed, easy to use with automatic timer etc., leaves my mouth feeling clean and fresh, allows my teeth/gums to receive consistently good reviews from my dentist and dental hygienist, retains its charge through the week, and is convenient for travel as well as use at home. The only reservation is that the FlexCare toothbrush I purchased earlier stopped working after only 18 months. I regret its untimely demise. Definitely consider purchasing as it is a very good toothbrush. Just be sure to keep your receipt and warranty in a convenient location.

I'm not particularly tech savvy and am all thumbs when it comes to applying screen protectors and the like. The MediaDevil Magicscreen Matte Clear screen protector is a gem. The instructions were straightforward. I took the suggestion to apply in a bathroom after shower steam had cleared dust from the air. The screen protector aligned perfectly with my iPhone 5 on first try. It looks and feels terrific. The Matte finish helps a lot to reduce glare outside without reducing visibility under normal home or office lighting conditions. Finger prints are much less evident than they were on another product's non-matte finish protector. Overall, this screen protector delivered everything that was promised and more than exceeds my expectations. I would strongly consider it !

So happy with this screen protector !

Looked great but even with a half size up toes were much too snug (with regular socks) and I needed to return. Surprising as I rarely have problems with shoe or boot sizes and already ordered up 0.5 size. I would recommend more information from manufacturer on idiosyncratic sizing or re-calibrating how boots are sized so more comparable to other shoes/boots. Thanks anyway for no hassle return policy. Much appreciated.

THE NOVEL NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH IS A GOOD NOVEL THAT EXPLAINES WHY YOU SHOULD STAND UP FOR SOMEHTING YOU BELLIEVE IN. IT HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT CONFLICTS. PHILIP MALLOY WAS A REALLY DIFFERENT PERSON. HE WAS DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE. HE USALLY LIED TO HIS PARENTS BUT WHEN HE DID SPEAK THE TRUTH, HIS PARENTS DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM AT ALL. PHILIP'S ENGLISH TEACHER MISS NARWIN HASN'T EITHER ALWAYS SPOKE THE TRUTH. MISS NARWIN SENT PHILIP MALLOY TO THE DEAN'S OFFICE BECAUSE HE WAS HUMMING THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER. THE MEDIA GOT A HOLD OF THIS STORY AND BEGAN WRITING ABOUT THIS COMPLEX INCIDENT. THIS BOOK WAS A GOOD BOOK BUT NOT THE GREATEST.

This one is not worth my time or yours, not to mention our money. The sample was not bad, I had read nothing by Patterson before, and so I took the overpriced plunge, only to find that it was all downhill from there. After slogging through 27% of this offering, I realized it was hopeless: badly fragmented plot and subplots, two dimensional characters, a convenient twin brother (with identical DNA) and so forth. It was not only unrealistic, but unbelievable. This was Fiction, all right, if not Fraud.

This work by famed author Scott Turow was a very long, boring slog through the psychopathology of a respected senior judge, his sluttish clerk, his bipolar wife and his confused son. The question was did the judge murder his wife, or was it suicide. Soon I lost interest in who did what with which to whom, and begged for a swift conclusion. Instead, there was an interminable and confusing trial featuring a saintly PA who had tried this same judge for the murder of a woman 20 years earlier. This was my first, and will be my last exposure to this author. At $12.99, the book is overpriced, and a big disappointment.

i saw stossel on tv talking about his book and was blown away by what a moron he was. his political economical views border on juvenile - its like he just took Econ 101 and had a libertarian/conservative idealogue teacher and bought into everything hook line and sinker. his theories are just that - theories. & quite often, the theories (which are all recycled btw, there is nothing new here) have already been proven to be false.maybe stossel is just trying to cash in w/ this book? that would explain the name of the book, obviously intended to grab attention and 'out-coulter' the competition. i figure in a couple of years we'll have books w/ titles like 'how liberals stole my baby and used it as a sacrifice to their socialist american hating god.'regardless of whether stossel is trying to make a buck or is just simplistic... this book still stinks on ice. for starters, a good rule of thumb is that political/economical analysis is best coming from experts rather than schlock journalists. this book truly supports that rule.
