4 | Will They Return Home? | I must admit, up front, that this book and its first half, BLACKOUT, are a veritable fountain of words, very Dickensian, and probably at least a quarter of them could have been cut.

5 | The Forest Service Comes of Age | In August 1910, the drought-stricken Bitterroot Mountains and environs caught fire. The tinder-dry environment, coupled with a fierce wind, created a firestorm of unprecedented ferocity. Mountain towns, lumber interests, and the fledgling National Park system had only one defender: the rangers of the newly formed and h... | [] | 0618968415 | 0618968415 | AGNSUP65FG6GKSCQJKEH7A4YZLEQ | 1,253,068,227,000 | 2 | false |
3 | Niagara on the Brink | This is not the usual type of book I read, but I was intrigued by the time period and the setting: the World War I years and directly thereafter, when the creation of power plants along the Niagara River in both Canada and the United States raised questions in some about the survival of the river ecosystem due to all t... | [] | 1401340970 | 1401340970 | AGNSUP65FG6GKSCQJKEH7A4YZLEQ | 1,252,637,170,000 | 0 | false |
4 | Unique Setting an Advantage to This Fourth Installment | I was delighted when this fourth installment of the Lady Emily mysteries became an available book in Amazon Vine! I read it the moment it arrived in the mail and was quite taken by the setting: 19th century Constantinople (now Istanbul). Alexander describes the area so well that I felt like I was in the bazaars and the... | [] | 0312383703 | 0312383703 | AGNSUP65FG6GKSCQJKEH7A4YZLEQ | 1,249,952,485,000 | 2 | false |
4 | Pleasing Adventure at the Time of the Napoleonic Wars | I chose THE COUNTERFEIT GUEST as a Vine choice without having read the first book in the series, THE BLACKSTONE KEY, then was lucky enough to find KEY right before GUEST arrived in the mail. However, while it is good to know about Mary Finch's first "Adventure" and how she made the acquaintance of Captain Robert Hollan... | [] | 1416560874 | 1416560874 | AGNSUP65FG6GKSCQJKEH7A4YZLEQ | 1,247,530,758,000 | 3 | false |
4 | Offbeat and Ultimately Funny | Max "Crusher" McNash is a hard-bitten veteran police officer whose investigation of what looks like a gangland killing arouses the attention of the FBI due to the crime's improbable suspect. The Feds send philosophical, well-dressed Cassius Lap to investigate. Can McNash trust Lap, since he suspects the agent may have ... | [] | 1416596410 | 1416596410 | AGNSUP65FG6GKSCQJKEH7A4YZLEQ | 1,247,102,284,000 | 0 | false |
3 | Whimsical Adventure With Spice from Another Era | This was a delightful book to read, as the humor harkens back to my childhood: a smidge of MARY POPPINS, a bit of THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH, akin to the "Freddy" books. Add touches from more modern books as in Lynn Britney's CHRISTINE KRINGLE and the humor from the Harry Potter novels and it might come out like this tale o... | [] | 1596435070 | 1596435070 | AGNSUP65FG6GKSCQJKEH7A4YZLEQ | 1,245,971,763,000 | 0 | false |
4 | Felicity is Back! | I'm glad the WB made their Felicity film, as I believe the American Girl people were about to drop her character from the the roster (at least she did not get a short story book the last time, where all of the other girls did).

4 | Shipboard Mystery | As an adult who never tires of historical stories and is a collector of children's books, I enjoy these books more than the adult novels bouncing around the bestseller list with their trashy mixtures of sex and violence. Samantha is not my favorite American Girl character, but I find this story an improvement on the pr... | [] | 1593690991 | 1593690991 | AGNSUP65FG6GKSCQJKEH7A4YZLEQ | 1,144,071,891,000 | 10 | false |
5 | Loved this book | I am just now reading whatever I can on the subject. So far Wilbur Lingle's book has been the most helpful for me. It has given me confidence in knowing what to say to some JWs that knocked on my door and are now regularly meeting with me and a christian friend. I am ordering extra copies to give away. | [] | 0875087787 | 0875087787 | AF6EHZOBB5CIUY57C52RL2ADVGUA | 1,317,986,785,000 | 1 | false |
4 | Book is a work of art- but did arrive damaged | The book is a work of art, and my review is not a reflection of that work. It arrived wrapped in shrink plastic and was damaged. They offered to replace it. | [

1 | About nothing. Tried for 70+ pages | Pretensions and about nothing. So sad - I've never felt that bad about a book.

1 | Print quality is below awful, a photocopy of a photocopy | Sadly, an awful 2022 copy with unreadable pictures and faded blurry text on many pages.

I placed the order on Jul 17, and received Jul 25th, 2022 while it was just prin... | [
