A Sherlock Holmes Fan Plays Sherlock
In 1893 Arthur Conan Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes, determined never to write another Holmes story again. But in 1900, he brought him back in a "flashback novel," THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES, and then resurrected him. Why bring Holmes back? Doyle was a consummate diarist and his journal from that year might tell t...

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.

Warm from the Oven Memoir
Once upon a time a young woman whose sister became a movie actress worked for her. She had what many would consider a "dream job," elbow-deep in Hollywood glitz and glam (and all the background tedium that goes with it). As the years progressed she realized how unhappy she was at the work, and she and her husband depar...

Promising Idea Which Fails to Deliver
At age 10, Patrick Condon leaves school behind. Always big for his age, Patrick gains employment after his father lies about his age, and his impoverished Irish family can always use the money. But Patrick has always dreamed of being a soldier, a glorious profession in his eyes, and two years later, with carefully hoar...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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 ...

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...

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). "Lissie" has been one of my favorite characters and the American Revolution period seems to ...

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...

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.

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.

Beautiful but not what I thought.
Not what I thought it would be. It’s beautifully illustrated, and there is useful information within the book, but it’s not necessarily the best rounded reference book.

Great book to motivate
Good short story with interactive sounds and a song to help motivate kids to potty train. I purchased for My ex wife’s son (he loves Cocomelon). He has enjoyed fake reading it and playing the sounds and song. However, my ex wife maybe tired of it, and mad at me, lol. She said it has helped. He has had more interest...

About nothing. Tried for 70+ pages
Pretensions and about nothing. So sad - I've never felt that bad about a book. The only book for as long as I can remember - like decades - that I could not finish. And I am an avid reader, always reading, every day, different subjects, fiction and not.
