Another Roadside Attraction Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is my favorite book of all time. I think that the four main characters are absolutely perfect, the way they are written. You can't get more interesting and original. In fact, I consider Amanda to be the greatest fictional character I have ever read about in a novel. Just brilliantly written.The...

The Slave Across the Street Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)When Liam Neeson's movie "Taken" came out in 2008 many people were shocked. The film portrayed how easily it was for unassuming girls to get pulled into the slave trade. As the setting was Paris, I had several friends question my sanity in sending my teenage daughter on a student ambassador program which...

Microformats: Empowering Your Markup for Web 2.0 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Microformats: Empowering Your Markup for Web 2.0 by John Allsopp is an incredible resource for learning Microformats. I didn't know what to expect with this book, as part of me wondered how someone could take over 300 pages to talk about Microformats. Truth be told -- this book was very in-depth from...

The Killing Zone: My Life in the Vietnam War Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Although a combat veteran of Vietnam, I had (or thought I had) put the war behind me for the first dozen years back. Then I ran across Fred's book, saw that it dealt with D 1/14th and bought it. And read it. And read it again.I humped with Delta on a few occasions in 1969-70 as a fill-in enlisted FO...

People of the Central Intelligence Agency: Francis Gary Powers, Klaus Barbie, Tscherim Soobzokov, Bob Barr, William F. Buckley, Jr. Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am in this book, but that is not saying a great deal since I came out from under cover with permission after Alvin Toffler built the chapter on "The Future of the Spy" around me, in War and Anti-War: Making Sense of Today's Global Chaos.Based on the lack of authorship, details, and the kludge of names,...

Goodbye, Darkness: A Memoir of the Pacific War Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If one could read two accounts of the Pacific War written from the perspective of Americans this book and Sledges "With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa" would be the best that one can get. There are a lot of very good narrative history books on all aspects of the Pacific War, but the poet-gone-to-war...

When Broken Glass Floats: Growing Up Under the Khmer Rouge Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I read this book immediately after I finished "First They Killed My Father." Both are autobiographies by young women who were children at the time of the Khmer Rouge's rule of Cambodia. Rather than being redundant, I found that this book complemented the other. Both girls were daughters of relatively...

Everything Beautiful Began After: A Novel (P.S.) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I fell in love with Everything Beautiful Began After after having just read the Prologue and the rest of the book did not disappoint. Simon Van Booy's beautiful poetic language is stunning and his descriptions require the reader to pause and take a deep breath to take them in. The characters are so well...

Such a Pretty Girl Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I almost passed this book by. The topic was an awful one, and I have had to witness the effects of abuse on children. I didn't think such a topic could be pulled off at all well. But something on the back matter made me pick Pretty Girl up, made me read the first couple of pages and then buy it. I'm...

Share Jesus Without Fear Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Many evangelism styles are so challenging to the average Christian that they are like asking a baby to run a marathon before they learn to crawl. Share Jesus Without Fear is very practical and the principles presented can be practiced by both the experienced soul winner and the person who is scared to...
