Eye-Deep in Hell: Trench Warfare in World War I Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)John Ellis, a military historian, wrote "Eye Deep in Hell" to explain the daily routines of the fighting men of World War I. The title of the book comes from the poet Ezra Pound, who wrote an epitaph for the soldiers who survived and died on the mud caked battlefields. Pound's poem adequately reflects...

The 80/10/10 Diet Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a very interesting book, and I am extremely glad it has been written. The strange sounding title refers to the name of an eating plan that derives 80% of total calories from carbs as found in fruit, and 10% each from fat and protein, and does so within a raw vegan framework. Graham's opinion...

The Whale Road Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I don't read a lot of viking books these days. Not because I don't like the genre or the era or the ethos though, but because I find so few that do justice to the time and place they aim to depict. More, I'm partial to the literary approach that aims to recapture and evoke the saga tradition in which...

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Combat Ops Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Although, I haven't finished Combat Ops yet, but I got a feel of what's to come. This sequel is the best in my opinion, the first person thoughts of Scott Mitchell. The story involves Mitchell and his Ghost team in Afghanistan, and the are on the hunt for a terrorist who is big in the area.The story...

The Jordan Rules Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)With "The Jordan Rules," Sam Smith proves why he is one of the very best sportswriters in America. The book follows Jordan and the Bulls during their first championship season (1990-1991), before Jordan established himself as the most successful NBA player (in terms of championships) since Bill Russell....

Strategic Supply Chain Management Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the first book I've found that discusses supply chain management in a way that makes it relevant and understandable for the C-level executive. And the examples prove that real ROI value can be created by looking more carefully at a company's supply chain. As an operations executive myself, I've...

The Bully from the Black Lagoon Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It's a good book. It's actually very short. It's about the class and everyone is talking about the new kid that Hubie is getting in his class. They think the new kid knocked people's heads off, crashes into people on purpose, kicks people, and gives them wedgies. On Thursday, when Hubie walks around...

What We Say Goes: Conversations on U.S. Power in a Changing World Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Edit of 15 Jun 09 to correct factual error in original review (nuclear deal with Iran under Gerald Ford, not Ronald Reagan, in 1974).Chomsky is actually starting to win over the balanced middle with his common sense. I have long respected him, but it took Dick Cheney and his merry band of nakedly amoral...

Securing Information and Communications Systems: Principles, Technologies, and Applications (Information Security & Privacy) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I purchased this as an additional reference book for a graduate class (cryptography) in Information Assurance particularly because our textbook is from 1996. This book presents the materials we cover in class in a much better format than the textbook (Schneier, Applied Cryptography) which keeps referring...

Demon's Kiss (Wings in the Night, Book 1) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)While Demon's Kiss has paranormal romance overtones it is very much a relationship driven ensemble piece that develops a very interesting group of characters and relationships. Seth has been waiting all his life for something and has had visions of a woman, a woman who is somehow wrapped up in his destiny....

Dreaming Anastasia: A Novel of Love, Magic, and the Power of Dreams Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I didn't really know what to expect from this book. I'm drawn to books about the Romanovs, so I thought I'd like this story.Unfortunately, this is a badly edited book that uses the currently popular YA theme of the very-old-but-smokin'-hot man lusting after a teenage girl. The plot had promise, but the...

Tomorrow Girls: Behind the Gates Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the opening book in a 4 book series. Each is told from the point of view of one of the characters. This book does a great job of setting up the premise and the characters. It takes place in a future society where everyone is given a bracelet at birth and tracked by the state. This book is told...

8 Ball Chicks Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A lot of people ask me about women in gangs. After reading Sikes book, I am able to fill in a lot of the blanks concerning women as "gang-bangers." It was tough to read about how some of these beautiful young girls were treated. You have to get back out there and write a sequel, please. Thank you Ms....

Hunter's Moon (Tales of the Sazi, Book 1) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)People know him as Tony Giodone. No one knows his real name. He is a hitman, hired assassin, and a werewolf. Tony is still getting used to what he has become. One year ago he had been stalking his mark, but his mark ended up ripping Tony's throat out. With no one to teach him how to deal with his new...

Boston Noir (Akashic Noir) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In the book's introduction, Lehane adds his own twist to a description of the noir genre. He argues that it represents uniquely working class tragedy, a story of loss and of people who are unable to roll with the changing times. "No art form that I know of," submits Lehane, "rages against the machine...

The Secret Identity of Devon Delaney Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Fans of Lauren Barnholdt will love her newest teen book. It's all about Devon 'Devi' Delaney and her lies. Devon went away for the summer to get away from things at home and befriended Lexi. She told Lexi a bunch of lies about how back home she's really popular and her boyfriend is Jared, the most popular...

Pursuits of Happiness: The Social Development of Early Modern British Colonies and the Formation of American Culture Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Greene is on a mission to show that the South (especially the Chesapeake) represents the "normative" model of American development-not the New England model. To do so, he decries the standard "declension" model, based on the history of Puritan New England, and produces a "developmental" model that he...
