Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss & Love Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've been reading Matt's blog since a couple of months after Madeline's birth and Liz's death. He and I have chatted via email briefly, as I'm also the dad of a 32-week preemie girl, born a couple of years before Maddy. Thankfully, I have no experience with what it's like to be a widowed, single father.Everything...

17 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Imagine, waking up tomorrow, all music has disappeared."I read this over a year ago and just like all of the other books I've read by the author, I couldn't put it down. Finished it in 2 or 3 days. It probably would have been better to have read it slower because it made me think. But I couldn't stop...

Elliot and the Goblin War (Underworld Chronicles) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I saw this book on the table on a quiet weekend morning. The artwork caught my attention. The first chapter captivated me. This may be a children's book, but the comedic commentary left me laughing out loud. Even though I am an attorney, it was most delightful to escape into the world of Brownies and...

How to Win at College: Surprising Secrets for Success from the Country's Top Students Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I wish I'd had this book in college. There seem to be a million breezy, humorous books about college life on the shelves, but they're all about cooking, cleaning, reducing stress and buying futons. This one is better than most at breezy humor, but it gets five stars because it's about COLLEGE: the core...

The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Alice Ozma's memoir, The Reading Promise, had my attention from just the brief snyopis I happened upon months ago. Alice's father, an elementary school librarian (which helps explain how the reading promise was even possible) and Alice decide to challenge themselves to read each night for 100 consecutive...

Avatar: The Last Airbender The Lost Adventures (Avatar: The Last Airbender (Dark Horse)) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Like any fan of the original series, I was crest fallen after the finale, having been left to wonder at what would become of our heroes. (Naturally, I was disgusted at Shyamalan's lack luster film that turned the first season into a Twilight-esque abomination!) This comic was a true piece of genius,...

Introduction to International Legal English Teacher's Book: A Course for Classroom or Self-Study Use Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you're teaching the Introduction to International Legal English and don't have a copy of the teacher's book, I highly recommend you get one. It is well written for teachers who may not have a thorough working knowledge of legal terminology and as such is an invaluble resource for teachers.Click Here...

Meditations in an Emergency Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you wondered what Don Draper was reading and why he got that far away look in his eye then your curiosity is much like mine. I had to know. Meditations In An Emergency is that book. Frank O'Hara was the voice that spoke to the madness, the chaos, and the contradictions in the cultural transition...

The Monk and the Riddle : The Education of a Silicon Valley Entrepreneur Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I really enjoyed this book. I've been recommending it to friends and colleagues, but I've had a real struggle trying to summarize what it's about. Regardless, a big part of my enthusiasm is that Komisar has given a voice to so many of my core beliefs about my own career.So, here's my attempt at summarizing...

The Raven Prince Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Wow! I am blown away by this debut novel. I simply could not put it down until I had read every steamy page. Edward is a broody discontented earl that at heart is just lonely. He's not your typical hero. He is scarred, has a big nose, thin lips and is described as unattractive. He does have a gorgeous...

I Have Lived A Thousand Years: Growing Up In The Holocaust Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you've read a lot of books about the Shoah, sometimes it seems like they all start to sound the same, only with different names and locations, but most good memorable books and memoirs on the subject have things setting them apart. This book, for example, is the only one I can remember having read...

How to Be an Explorer of the World: Portable Life Museum Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Smith's newest book is the most recent installment in her passionate, ongoing process to distill life and the art process (indistinguishable to most artists) down to it's bare matter. If you can embrace playfulness, open courageously to the idea of art as life, are willing to turn off the television...

The Sedona Method: Your Key to Lasting Happiness, Success, Peace and Emotional Well-Being Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Although I have read dozens of self-help books and attended weeks of self-help seminars, none of those books and seminars helped me in the profound way that The Sedona Method has. The book's core observation is that we allow emotions based on old memories to block our minds and bodies from experiencing...

The Mammoth Book of Tattoos Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I usually don't like 'flash tattoo' books of any sort. Unless it's a very genre specific book with very high quality photos like Bushido : Legacies of the Japanese Tattoo by Takahiro Kitamura.Mammoth Tattoos is not a collection for the 'I must get this tattoo for my next inking' folks... Leave that for...
