Book was required for class, bought used had lots of information, but can be repeative and confusing at times. Has nursing diagnosis!

Highly recommend
The book was delivered on time. When I opened the package, the book was wrapped in tissue paper which was very nice. It was in excellent condition, a beautiful book to give as a gift.. This was my 70 year old father's favorite book when he was a child and he absolutely loved "going back in time" and immediately started...

Best Ruth Ware Yet!
Prior to reading this, I had trouble getting through Ware’s books. They were usually too slow and the buildup to the climax, in the last 10 pages or so it seemed, was boring and sometimes painful.<br />I gave this one a shot, because I love mysteries surrounding a group of sequestered people.

Another Crazy Adventure with Robert Langdon
I believe this is Dan Brown’s third Robert Langdon novel, following The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons. This time, the story is set in Washington DC and takes place over approximately 12 hours. Which, in hindsight, is incredible given the amount of antics that take place.<br />I hate to say much more for fear of ...

Massive ego on display with a crude, unrefined approach to the written language. Found it corny and absent of any brilliance, in complete agreement with the reviewers allocating lesser stars.

Pirates Ahoy!
Fun book from a great author. Not his very best but fun and somewhat historically accurate. 4 Stars.

The book was a fine read, certainly not in the category of &#34;Lonesome Dove&#34;. 3.5 Stars.

Lawless land
Powerful book that shows the ugly side of Mexico's citizens, their violent and abusive ways towards those attempting to cross their land to get to America. Talk about sad stories, one after another. Good job on the part of the author. Truly an eye opener. 4 Stars.

Far out there
This guy is either one of the most creative minds, or if all he says is factual, then this guy is the Janes Bond of dope smuggling, plus a real traveller. I skipped many pages, did not grab my reading attention, only in small increments. If he is the real deal, no one is going to dispute he lived a very unique life. 4 ...

Takes the reader back in time
A little better than Carry the Wind by another author. 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.

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.

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.

Going as clear as possible
Caught on a wave of intense curiosity, I decided to dish out the &#34;moola&#34;, 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...
