Surprising use of language, with certain words considered racy these days, if dialogue matches the historical facts, then it was a revelation how they expressed themselves those days. Faster paced, with plenty to enjoy most of the time. | [] | 0618154620 | 0618154620 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,469,575,523,000 | 0 | true |
3 | A big book | As far as western books go, not at the top of the heap. Has its moments, and offers a glimpse of the elusive mountain man life, but could not enjoy thoroughly, too many pages for what it delivered. 3 Stars. | [] | 055325572X | 055325572X | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,469,575,224,000 | 0 | true |
3 | The Real Deal? | Too cool for school. If half the content borders in reality then this guy was the James Bond of pot smuggling. For a moment or two, the whole thing seemed a little too far fetched, still Howard Marks was no ordinary person, and the logistics alone of his hectic lifestyle certainly defies description. 3.5 Stars. | [] | 0099428555 | 0099428555 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,468,778,509,000 | 0 | true |
4 | Going as clear as possible | Caught on a wave of intense curiosity, I decided to dish out the "moola", and buy a few books on the ever mystifying the Church of Scientology. Came out with two definite conclusions. The first being that the leadership of this controversial religion, are as ambitious as any business, institution. CEO's one is ... | [] | 0547750358 | 0547750358 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,468,604,585,000 | 3 | true |
3 | Sad | Low life monster preys on children. Writer does a fair job telling this tale. Hard to believe how this sad excuse for a human being was not put out of his misery before he could harm innocent victims. Book was affordable and delivered its intended purpose. 3 Stars. | [] | 0786019255 | 0786019255 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,465,060,837,000 | 3 | true |
2 | Formula persists | If Stephen King was a baker instead of a book writer, he would be more appreciated at this stage. Always hip, so rock and rollish, putting more and more books, for his insatiable leagues of fans. Cool titles, boring stories, corny while at the same time predictable, his bag of tricks has exhausted itself, leaving just ... | [] | 1501100122 | 1501100122 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,465,060,330,000 | 0 | true |
3 | Long and slightly boring! | Once you read enough books by the well known Stephen King, a pattern emerges. His abilities as a talented writer can not be ignored, for he obviously manipulates the written word to his heart's content. With his always present allusions to rock and roll lyrics, he is just too cool for school. Yet, he is an American Ico... | [] | 1501144502 | 1501144502 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,465,059,396,000 | 0 | true |
5 | One of the best! | Powerful, but entertaining, true account of a Combat Surgeon. The more I have been reading about our proud warriors, the more I admire each and everyone of them, with very rare exceptions, and among the most impressive are the medics and doctors. The amount of hurt that happens in combat is mind boggling, sufficient to... | [] | 0891416609 | 0891416609 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,463,527,567,000 | 0 | true |

4 | One more for fast removal | Crazy madman that should not been walking the earth in the first place, perfect candidate for fast extermination. Victims, like most of the times, unable to prevent their tragic faiths at the hands of the monster. The writer does a decent enough job. 3.5 Stars. | [] | 0786020369 | 0786020369 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,462,220,461,000 | 0 | true |
5 | Seriously good writer | Mr. Erik Larson can write, and this book is no exception. A truly remarkable book that not only delivers the thrills, but also happens to be of an historic nature. This guy can write like there is no tomorrow, and I finally realize how good he is at what he does. Fine book, tremendously talented writer, a winner all ar... | [] | 0375725601 | 0375725601 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,459,150,986,000 | 0 | true |
5 | Top Shelf Writer | Author Erik Larson is a master of his craft, and this title, proves it every step of the way. I had read him before, but obviously I had not paid very much attention to the reading subject, but after reading another of his works: In the Garden of Beasts, or to that effect, I started admiring his profound research and w... | [] | 0375708278 | 0375708278 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,459,150,871,000 | 0 | true |
4 | Dangerous Attraction | The same way that there are good people in this world, that always seem to bring forth good things for others, there is also a breed of so called humans, that only causes harm in their path. This book was surprisingly well researched, and well worth the price. There is so much information about this case, that the read... | [] | 0786015144 | 0786015144 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,458,981,414,000 | 2 | true |
3 | True Crime | Predictable, easy to guess the course of events to follow. Sad in how the so called agencies that are supposed to protect, specially children one would think, always appear after the fact. A father and son, that fully deserved each other, but certainly not the nice people that crossed their path. Father scheduled to bu... | [] | 1250066689 | 1250066689 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,458,458,990,000 | 2 | true |
2 | Ove this, Ove that | A man called Ove. Turns out that Ove has a lot of similarities to my brother in law, except for the good heart part, that made him look grumpy but with a nice side. Ove is a terry tale that is over simplistic, but it seems half the world finds very profound meaning in what otherwise would be an almost childish tale, Ov... | [] | 1476738025 | 1476738025 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,458,373,424,000 | 4 | true |
4 | The life we bury | Starts pretty darn good, but it lets out some steam nearing the end. Still, it is a great effort on the part of the author, and for a while there it had me going even though it is fiction, and sometimes fiction looses credibility, unless it is written well, which this book is right on the money as soon as it starts. I ... | [] | 1616149981 | 1616149981 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,456,733,385,000 | 0 | true |
4 | Too technically oriented for my taste | Not my cup of tea, even though the period in which this story took place, unmasked the greedy world surrounding the regular folks. Ambition, deceit, are only two of the words that can barely describe what took place, and of course, none was punished for taking advantage of their fellow Americans, but I do understand fo... | [] | 0393338827 | 0393338827 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,456,188,803,000 | 1 | true |
5 | The Nightingale's Song | Powerhouse of a book, truly a must read for those who enjoy this type of books. Very well written, and something to behold in some instances, plus one learns about people in the news that served this great country. 4.5 Stars. | [] | 0684826739 | 0684826739 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,455,058,876,000 | 2 | true |

4 | Good enough | A good true crime story, once again greed and grudges, warrant the killing of a perfectly good human being. One thing true crime teaches is to take more than one look, pause again and again, before allowing one self to become a victim. Apparently, there are no limits as to who can kill, and this book is just one more e... | [] | 0425278484 | 0425278484 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,454,980,646,000 | 1 | true |
4 | Big Honcho | Tedious but extremely thorough, but I found out that this book is mostly for those who value and appreciate the big picture, not the warrior in the trenches, where the real combat takes place. At the level that the Supreme Commander exists, is like a viewing a chessboard from the ceiling. I grew tired of it soon, but d... | [] | 0307946622 | 0307946622 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,454,365,332,000 | 12 | true |
3 | A world of its own | Everyone wants to see past the curtains of Scientology. Is a well guarded organization, with rumors of negative implications. This happens with just about any group that keeps a tight reign in their affairs. Then to top it all off there is the Hollywood side that brings into play the dazzling memberships of well known ... | [] | 0062248480 | 0062248480 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,453,796,069,000 | 0 | true |
4 | Forget about it | Entertaining enough, but not one of the best in the genre. As most people know the mafia has turned from a past reputation of silence (omertà) to an exchange of government informers for leniency. Still, it is a very catchy society, and over the years have read many books on this subject. 3.5 Stars. | [] | 0060544236 | 0060544236 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,452,845,123,000 | 0 | true |
4 | The best at police novels? | Joseph Wambaugh has always been a favorite, and I have probably read all his books to date. He definitely has his moments, and some of his books are truly funny, and heart wrenching, all at the same time. He is very good at what he does, and this book did not disappoint. 4 Stars. | [] | 044650582X | 044650582X | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,452,844,559,000 | 0 | true |
4 | Decent | This book had its moments, but in the end, it was not the kind of book that offered me a blockbuster read. Mr. James Webb is a great writer, but in this book it looked to me, that even though the subject matter was kind of interesting, the long dialogues and dissertations, took the book to a more sedate form. Being a w... | [] | 0440240913 | 0440240913 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,452,844,436,000 | 1 | true |
4 | Real War | Always respectful of this type of book, this one follows the same type of writing style as many others of its kind. Tough fighters fighting a war across the other side of the world in the name of freedom. 4 Stars. | [] | 0440218802 | 0440218802 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,452,669,581,000 | 0 | true |
4 | Some will like it better | Slow and a little tedious, with few moments here and there. Really not my cup of tea, with the CSI approach. Never the less there is plenty of accounts that those who like this kind of science might find enticing. 3.5 Stars. | [] | 0671023934 | 0671023934 | AHBDCC6PPJ6TDXHQOYIHKDNS3VHQ | 1,452,669,379,000 | 1 | true |
