0006383475 Over all, Karen has managed to write an excellent book on the history of the city of Jerusalem. Unlike other "historians" who's prejudice is clear in their work, especially on the Crusade histories, karen's book here is easily understood & far from bias. I find this book to be very objective in dealing with ... |
0006383548 Patrick McGilligan's "unauthorized" biography of film giant Clint Eastwood is dedicated to "Mom." If Mrs. McGilligan bothered to read the book, she might have said "Thanks, but no thanks," and request that her name be removed from such a seamy book. Of course, McGilligan could a... |
0006383718 Very surprised that this is out of print. A thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining read. There could only be one pair of Kray twins and for my money only one decent book on them! My only gripe: there could've been more pics. If you're able to get a copy of this highly detailed book - do so. The feel of the vi... |
0006384226 Not being one for self help- this book appeals as it states that it will make the self help industry redundant. It does.Dorothy Rowe tackles seemingly massive issues with wit and humour. This is an enjoyable book to read.Her philosophy is sound, clear commonsense that empowers the reader and basically helps ... |
0006387756 An upcoming trip to Ethiopia sparked the recommendation of this book from friends who had read it. It was not easy to find, as it is out of print etc., but I located it through Amazon. It was a fascinating read primarily because, due to a childhood in post-colonial Addis Ababa, he enjoyed access to a culture... |
0006388264 This lady can write and you only have to read page one to realise the fact. In addition, this is probably the most informative book about what it is `really like' to be a member of the SAS than any other I have ever read. No, this is not a book about what life was like in Hereford when her husband was away d... |
000638837X Sarah Ford's two-fisted journey from a London council flat to the WRENS (Royal Navy) to her undercover action with the Special Air Service in Northern Ireland is an amazing odyssey, and her narrative keeps the pages turning. This is one tough broad, brought up on the mean streets of London, and her poignant ... |
0006388523 The Kray twins dominated organized crime in 1960's London. exceptionally cruel and vicious they lorded over an criminal empire the likes of which Britain has not seen before or since. The author, Charles Kray, is the older brother of the twins. Understandably his familial bias tends to paint a more warm and ... |
0006388671 It was always going to be an ambitious project to define the social history of the garden in 377 pp including index, and bibliography and while Brown writes a good history, it is ultimately thin when trying to encompass such a broad subject.The chapters are defined mostly by the type of garden, from military... |
0006472648 I found myself enjoying this book for the most part, though it was SO long I found myself wondering what could possibly happen to this poor woman.....and how much of it was historically accurate - I wasn't at all thrilled with how Joan (her mother) was portrayed, however the story did draw me in and I'd reco... |
0006473024 Pick this book up and you will not be able to put it down. After you finish it, do not feel sad. No. Go out and get the others in the story line. Enough to fill the winter nights ahead.

0006473245 Any book by Cornwell is a well-written and enjoyable adventure. The Sharpe series is highly recommended. I haven't read a single book in this series that has disappointed. If you want to have a feel for how things were during the Peninsular war, buy and enjoy! Cornwell does a superb job, but for some reason ... |
0006473369 I am admitted devotee of Phillipa Gregory, having purchaed five of her novels recently from Amazon. "Fallen Skies" however, set in post World War I England would have appealed to me more were it not dragged out in too much of the same repetitive writing throughout, and an ending that was a foregone conclusio... |
0006482724 I must admit the first time I saw the book and its front cover I did not feel very much interested... But you must never judge a book by its cover! Lilith's Castle is on of the best fantasy book I have read since The Lord of the Rings and Rhinegold. It never ebbs down in interest, the story is gripping and t... |
0006483232 I feel like I am commiting a sacriligeous act by writing a bad review of a Stephen Lawhead novel.I loved the Pendragon Cycle. read the series twiceI wept in the Song of Albion read the series 4 timesI was enheartened by Byzantium. third time readingAnd I reminisced in Avalon. read twiceBut I was disappointed... |
0006483496 The only saving thing about this book is that it is written by david/leigh eddings.After 13 books in the series it is getting boreing.This book is just everything in the other books without one thing it is not a story. I salute the eddings couple for trying to milk money out of the belgaraid but enough is en... |
0006497993 I picked up this book during a recent trip to London, after seeing the adverts promoting the book in the London Underground. I read the British version, entitled 'Whispers of Betrayal' but I assume that this is the re-titled American version of the same book.The book is about the consequences of political ac... |
0006498329 Having read Mermaid Singing, I was disappointed when I read my first Brannigan, Kickback.In Star Struck however, the characters come out more clearly, to form everyday persons with everyday feelings. One can almost feel what Brannigan feels, see what she sees. The plot is a simple one, which all the more mak... |
0006499031 Like his other WWII espionage books (The Polish Officer, Dark Star), Red Gold brings the seediness and squalidness of spying to the fore. This entry takes place almost entirely within German occupied France in 1941 and picks up the story of former filmmaker Jean Casson where it left off at the end of Night S... |
0006499155 Now that the film of MASTER AND COMMANDER is about to be released, starring Russell Crowe, many new readers will be attracted to this, the first of the Aubrey-Maturin seriesthat launched the 20-book series and consumed the last 30+ years of the author's life. This series established O'Brian as one of the out... |
0006510302 An historically well researched tale wherein our intrepid hero manages to cover himself in glory, again, while simultaneously evading his usual band of sworn enemies.Entertaining and fast moving as always. An enjoyable read. Always loved books about the British in India back in the day. So glad I stumbled on... |
0006510345 How Frank McCourt survived to be a master storyteller, poet, and humanitarian is a miracle and a mystery; midway through his story he suggests the whisper of an answer. After we have walked with him through the cold and filthy streets of Limerick, suffered with him through the senseless deaths of several sib... |
0006510418 If I can grossly break Sharpe readers into two camps (those who read just for the battle scenes, and those who read for the story of Richard Sharpe, of which battle scenes are one thrilling part), then Sharpe's Revenge is definitely for the second group. Other than the surprisingly hard-fought battle of Toul... |
000651104X I am a LLewellyn fan. I have to date loved all his sea storys and mysteries. I found them to be enthralling. This book bears no resemblence to his other work. It is a confusing mess. I gave it two Stars because I can't imagine myself giving him one Star. If you would like to get lost on an unromantic Greek I... |
0006513964 I really enjoyed this book because of its informative, historical storyline.Anyone who only wants a book with a happy ending better not reads this book, it would be too "realistic" for your taste.However: it has given me a fair idea of what the Irish went through not so long ago; only 150/160 years. It has m... |
0006514413 The fourth chapter in the Emma Hart series of seven books, an excellent follow-up to the previous three books, well worth reading. Characters are believeable and the whole book carries on from where the last one finished. I would recommend the book unreservedly |
0006514626 After reading the first book in this trilogy (Wideacre), I was not too excited to read this one but I wanted to find out what happens to the Lacey family. I have to say this book is much better than Wideacre. I am now reading the third book (Meridon) and I believe it is even better than the second book. So, ... |
0006514634 Having read the first two novels in this trilogy, I was not quite sure what to expect from this one. While the first two novels emphasize the growth of Beatrice and Julia on Wideacre, Meridon spends the majority of this book away from her land, having grown up without any knowledge of her roots.Yet, despite ... |
0006514693 I am always on the lookout for a good short story so I bought this book with much anticipation.Most of the stories are based on fact and while this adds an element of intrigue it seems to me that they were rather predictable. The stories kept me interested but do not result in any feelings of suspense/excite... |
0006530451 do not read this book in first class the air hostess will come over and say it is scaring the other passengers ! |
0006530737 Parts of this book will appeal to many people. Taken as a whole, however, I'm not sure how many people will find this to be a satisfying "read." The first part of the book deals with Grogan's trek from South Africa to Cairo, which was undertaken to explore the feasability of a transcontinental, alb... |
0006530761 As a scuba diver who is always looking for the more remote locations, I often find myself in some wilderness area surrounded by the sea. Quite frequently, there is a lighthouse nearby and I always seem to be made aware of those that were "British Built."What I had not realised before reading this book, was t... |
0006530818 This book is the antithesis of the usual sycophantic, revering style biographies of living people is written in. Clocking in at 406 pages, it includes history and facts, but also much to my chagrin, frequent analysises of the subject's character, almost all of them devastatingly negative. The authors view on... |
0006530826 I was captivated by the book from the first story to the end. Ni Ni's short life was a snapshot of the helplessness, courage and tragedy of the Burmese people under the rule of a brutal, corrupt and repressive regime. The search of an old basket weaved the stories and observations very nicely together. It wa... |
0006531113 It's an interesting subject, but having spent a lot of time in Germany, I'm probably more interested in the subject than most people in the U.S. would be, though . . . I dunno, it's an okay book, but the kid's kinda clueless. he keeps complaining that he can't find maps that show the East/West border, but th... |
000653113X Hidden behind a seemingly specialised subject, Saddam's Secrets, lies the extraordinary story of one of this centuries greatest political transformations - that of the United Nations evolving from a forum of bitter rivalries into an arbiter of morals with the power and will to punish wrongdoers on a global s... |
0006531172 This book is an account of the author's remarkable two month-long trek, via camel, across the old slave routes of the Sahara. The problem is that the very vastness of the desert, which makes it romantic, arduous, and forbidding, also makes it difficult to translate into prose. As a result there is a certain ... |
0006531210 It's been weeks since I finished and it still moves me in so many ways. While yes, this book will fill you in on some recent African history, it is oh so much more. A beautiful wrenching soul-searching memoir of a man I would love to sit down and have a few Tuskers with. If you want to lose yourself in a wor... |
0006541216 I found "A Father's Diary" to be an interesting and enjoyable read. It is the chronicle of a year in the lives of the author's two children, Tilly and Jack, who are 4 and 3 when the book begins. The diary records their development and experiences as they grow up in a small English village |
0006541577 Myths & Memories is Adair's homage to both Roland Barthes's Mythologies and to Georges Perec's Je me souviens. The first half of the book consists of tens of brief essays (incredibly witty, but always in a manner more caustic than cutesy) on various aspects of British life and culture in the 1980s, written i... |
0006541607 In this autobiographical novel, Bulgakov describes his experiences working with the Moscow Art Theatre of Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko in the 1930's. The characters and situations are exaggerated to enhance the satire, and it is obviously not impartial, but it is extremely revealing nonetheless. Thi... |
0006542018 In this book Joan Wyndham continues the saga of her wartime life and loves begun in 'Love Lessons', and this one is as funny and fascinating as the earlier book. Joan has joined the WAAF, and is still having encounters with a variety of different men, artistic Petya, pretentious Zoltan, aristocratic Hamish, ... |
0006545777 Sadly, this pot boiler, mainly a "picture-book" is one of the last we can possibly read from the pen of this great author, who died not long after publishing this fine collection of memories and very good photographs of his collective travels with his beloved wife, the indomitable Wanda.Proud to own it - it ... |
0006546196 Many fascinating charcaters, and--in an effort to keep them straight--I have a done a simple "family tree" to show who's related to who. If anyone would like a copy, post a note with your review and I'll send one.---MReynolds Ms. Erdrich has some good moments. A line here or there worth remembering... |
000654620X I found this novel to be enjoyable to read, with unexpected events occuring around every corner. The dark humor fits in well with the story line and it keeps the reader motivated. While the ending appears to leave the reader hanging with respect to some characters, it really makes you think about what the re... |
0006546218 The story focuses around the lives of an Indian man and a little girl who are sole survivors of disease that run rampant through their tribe. The man forms a kind of grandfatherly relationship to the little girl who lost her family. The locals believe that this girl has supernatural powers. Underlying all th... |
0006546269 Tristan Hawkins's first novel is a simple story of a male-female relationship which turns complicated. As such, it is not unlike High Fidelity by Nick Hornby. But while Hornby's narrator, Rob, is a kind of homme moyen sensual, Richard, the hero of Pepper, is only representative of man's worst excesses - a so... |
0006547001 I first became acquainted with this story thru the marvelous Steven Spielberg movie. I thought it was such a powerful story that I bought the book the day after I saw the movie.The story is an account of the author experiences after war breaks while he is in Shanghai. Separated from his parents and sent to a... |
0006547184 Planet 8, a promising outpost of the Empire of Canopus, undergoes a catastrophic climate change. Canopus had planned to move the people to a similar planet, Rohanda; but the wrecking of these plans, as detailed in Lessing's Shikasta and The Sirian Experiments, means that a more arduous course must be taken. ... |
0006550878 i've fallen in love with it. I haven't even finished the book yet but it's been amazing to read. It's filled with short stories about all girls, females, women. amazing. all different stories yet alike. I can't believe it's all been written by the same author. Her stories are beautifully told in such a short... |
0006550975 Mainly, I took the book out from the shelf on the library because it was in paperback and I did not want to carry some heavy hardback book along. The cover made me curious as well. Something that had been filmed could not be all that bad.Although I've already read several of Ms. Weldon's books, this one was ... |
0006551475 The best thing "Emma's War" by Deborah Scroggins accomplishes is to highlight the often overlooked tragedy and strife that grips Sudan in particular and Africa in general. That's it though, and is the only reason this book deserves more than one star.Emma herself, based on Scroggins' testimony, is an otherwi... |
0006551580 This is a valuable successor to Capra's earlier books, all of which seek to discuss matters of critical societal and ecological concern within the framework of scientific analysis and understanding.The book is in two parts. The first three chapters provide a brilliant summary of current thinking about the na... |
0006551688 This account of a trip around Ireland never really reaches the heights it should. Although well written the problem is that the writer simply isn't that funny. Two things to remember: 1) this has nothing to do with Shane MacGowan, and 2) I reckon any reasonable writer could turn out this standard fare. If yo... |
0006551742 I lived in southern Albania as a Peace Corps Volunteer from 1995 to 1997.Carver's account of travelling through that portion of the country in 1996 (the first half of the book) is accurate in its physical descriptions (shabby, decaying, desolate and beautiful), but otherwise leaves much to be desired.First o... |
0006552129 Wilfred Thesiger was one of the great explorers of the age of the British Empire, perhaps the last great explorer. This book is a great collection of the most interesting articles describing his travels in Imperial Ethiopia, Darfur, the Sahel, Arabia, Kurdistan, the Hindu Kush and more, that will delight the... |
0006552196 I enjoyed this bizarre tale, which made me laugh out loud on several occasions and cringe an equal number of times. An inventive story presented in an interesting way. This is a wildly inventive novel that achieves a sub-Pynchonian lunacy with its tale of grave-robbing, a machine that steal men's souls, and ... |
0006552234 This is almost the perfect tome of travel fiction. Pham's prose is read-aloud excellent, the story full of adventure, pathos, and discovery, and the back story is expertly woven into the narrative. I'd go so far as to say that I haven't read a better piece of travel writing. It comes with the highest possibl... |
0006552269 In the small rural towns of Alabama live a bunch of individuals whose behavior and attitudes are so disgusting, outsiders would question whether they are human. These people, mostly male, live, at best, on the fringe of society. Their world of the woods is under siege as factories encroach, but that only enc... |
0006552323 I wouldn't call "Daughter of Fortune" a Native-themed book because the Native presence is muted. But Eliza's mother is Chilean, so she's part Native. More important, Eliza's upbringing is a tug-of-war between Rose, the Englishwoman who represents intellect, artificiality, and constraint, and Mama Fresia, the... |
0006750605 i love all three of those books. homecoming and dicey's song were assigned reading in 7th grade and I love them so much i read anything relating to those books. these books are about dicey and her family. a solitary blue is mainly about diceys boyfriend, jeff, but cynthia voigt connects it with dicey. they a... |
0006750656 Four siblings, Nicholas, David, Roland, and Helen find themselves on Thursday Street. There everything is being torn down for presumably a housing project. A football kicked through an old church window causes Roland to go into the church. He can't find any of his siblings and an old fiddler is making weird ... |
0006861296 The editors have put together a book of broad scope and readability that succeeds on many levels. As a dictionary it is a valuable reference work to discover what a concept means in a well summarised form. It is also a great check on your current interpretation of a concept to see if it is compatible with th... |
0006862012 This collection of ten historical essays, now out of print, but obtainable from Amazon's marketplace sellers, adds detail and explication to several of the issues discussed in the author's The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road. Some of the essays, e.g. "Why did the Dutch Revolt Last So Long" explore topi... |
0006903207 As the fourth in the Chalet School Series, this book continues in excellent style the previous books. It deals with one of the first members of the Chalet School and her time as the Head Girl. Again in this book the use of French and German words makes this difficult for monolingual children to read. However... |
0006908136 This volume was absolute dribble!! The Hardys go to Iceland, walk around there getting into one problem after another with things that have nothing to do with any mystery. This book was about a bunch of dumb things that happened to the brothers. Somebody would have a crisis upon the conclusion of each chapte... |
0006919189 This book is the sixth in the Three Investigator series. "The Mystery of the Vanishing Treasure" precedes this book, and "The Mystery of the Fiery Eye" follows. As we learned in previous books, the Three Investigators are Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw and Bob Andrews. Jupiter is the intelligent, sometimes ina... |
0006930131 I have read the "Silver Brumby's" series since I was a child and every few years I re-read the whole series as an adult. I am 42 now! :) I love the Silver Brumby's daughter as it shows the bond between Thowra, the silver stallion and his beautiful silver daughter, Kunama who is hunted as much as her father i... |
0007101929 First the negative, minor though it might be. The book is really rather misnamed. If anything, while Seahenge is a captivating title, it is way too limited. While the author discusses the wood circle at Holmes, he does so only briefly in the introduction and over a couple of chapters at the end of the book. ... |
0007102941 Well, I got this book as a present. It was my first law dictionary. Definately not a dissapointment but also not a satisfaction. I gained knowlidge though...but buy this only if you don't need detailed definitions and so called hard words, because as the preface says, it is intelligible for ordinary reader a... |
000710295X Its a dictionary! What else is there to say? Well the definitions are readable and understandable but I still wish I could find a mathematical source for definitions that are first presented in non mathematical terms and then mathematical terms. This is a dictionary, even though it says Mathematics. You can ... |
0007103107 This book offers a decent set of 14 routines that build upon one another to introduce the important concepts and Asanas of modern yoga. Each coarse has a different focus, from relaxation, through rooting the feet, to strengthening the back with back bends. The asanas are mostly beginner's modifications with ... |
000710331X ...This is a good first book to someone who wants to learn how to read with cards. The book is short, clear, very well printed (high quality paper, card pictures are good, a readable font was chosen, etc), and repeats very little of the rubbish so many other books reiterate (e.g. about the tarot originating ... |
0007103328 This is a beautiful little book for anyone curious as to what real astrology is all about. Charles and Suzi Harvey have done an excellent job in presenting an extensive and clear overview, covering every basic question that newcomers are likely to have. What is astrology? Who studies astrology? How can it he... |
0007103387 This is a very good get acquainted with Reiki book with basics presented in a very easy-to-read format. It contains valuable information generally not presented in many other Reiki books. This includes how Reiki can be used to communicate with nature to replensih your energy, how to realize your dreams, open... |
0007104022 Cavill assumes that you know the English history of this period and basic English geography. I do not. This book could be improved with a table of kings (Edward, Edmund, etc. all become a jumble) and maps to separate Mercia from Northumbria. Admittedly a British reader would know all this. You should know th... |
0007104065 I decided I wanted to quit smoking for the last time and purchased this book one year ago. I have not smoked since although I have gained weight, I am a non smoker and don't even think about it any more. I think it will help someone that really wants to quit. Update: 12-21-03 Just passed 16 months smoke-free... |
0007106823 As a Celtic and West Ham nut-case I have had the pleasure of watching Paolo play for 2 of my clubs! His passion and skill are unmatched, and his unpredictable antics are a bonus. When he was happy, West Ham were in the Top ten in the Prem. When he was un-happy West Ham were relegated. When he left, West Ham ... |
0007106971 The book starts with a general introduction about "Body Power", which is a technique based on Pilates and adjusted by the author. Each chapter focusses on a different body part and contains a number of (variations of) known & quite original exercises. Each exercise is accompanied by a precise d... |
000710698X I can't tell you how refreshing it was to come across this book - there is such a lack of scholarly writing on modern paganism! This anthology grew out of a conference bringing together both academics studying neopaganism and magic, and practitioners, and has an excellent balance of both in-depth scholarly a... |
0007107692 This book opens up the entire scope of British druidry - if you know how to read it. Imagine that you have been given the opportunity to read the diary of Taliesin (Welsh bard about the time of King Arthur). Imagine that instead of just the stories of Taliesin that you also had access to Taliesin's thoughts ... |
0007108133 Clarke does a praiseworthy job of bringing Wolfram von Eschenbach's complex 13th century epic to life for 21st century readers. He streamlines the story and renders the verse original in prose, but his prose often achieves exalted effects. The story is far from 'a wearisome alternation of battle scenes and l... |
0007108168 I originally bought this book because I thought that the title implied there would be an extensive discussion about how the vegan way of eating leads to improved health. Was I wrong! There were only four or five pages discussing this issue and then the introduction went into a couple of more pages describing... |
0007108273 This book had me turning page after page wanting to know what happened next. What really kept me interested was her flipping back and forth between modern and olden days. I was equally interested in both stories as she was telling them. My only disapointment was the ending and how open she left it. Such a gr... |
000710829X It can be a little slow at times but I have enjoyed this series and fallen in love with many of the characters. I would recommend. Cannot put it down, just like the rest of the series. Moments of emotion, suspense, happiness and sadness. The story just gets better and better. Dawn on a Distant Shore by Sara ... |
0007108311 For any readers who haven't indulged in Sara Donati's series of books about Elizabeth and Nathaniel Bonner, this is one of the later books in the series. It's a fine book to read without having read the others, butit's much more informative to start with the introductory novel. Sara Donati is one of those wr... |
0007108419 This is a brilliant book that lets you visit a London that is not accessible in any other way. If you know London, it is easy to spend hours locating all of your favorite attractions using the maps in the back of the book. I am sure that my next visit will prove easier to navigate after the perspectives reve... |
0007108435 While presented as a way to improve flirting with others, actually focuses a lot on self development and awareness rather than being any kind of "How to.." guide. Packed with exercises to make the reader think and evaluate their current situation, outlook and attitudes, along with methods to imporo... |
000711270X Cameron's book is not only historically accurate but a great read as well. The novel's parallel and intersecting storylines between Washington (portrayed here in very human and historically plausible terms without the mythic quality so often attributed to him) and one of his slaves, aptly named "Julius ... |
0007112785 I'm surprised nobody's yet reviewed this, because it deserves a thousand reviews! I just read this today, after finding it completely by accident at some obscure shop, and I have to say it now ranks in as one of the best stories I've ever read in my life.I'm a big fan of young adult fantasy, and this is so o... |
0007113323 This book emerged onto a highly competitive market already burgeoning with numerous field guides covering the region, most by renowned authors and many having benefitted from improvement over several editions. Quite simply though, this book won instant recognition as the best field guide available for Europe... |
0007113455 I went to Tanzania this summer.I normally love maps.Wait until you get there to get a map. This map was useless.Get the LP. |
0007113633 The American air campaign against Germany has been chronicled in hundreds of books over the years. The Boiten and Bowman book is a fresh look at the Mighty 8th's air war with many new personal accounts from American and German aircrews topped off with 300+ photos, some in color. It's a very pleasing package ... |
0007117825 The book seems seems to support Michael Geary's web site. It's a good reference book although much of what it says can be gleaned from the website. I'm drawn to learning more about this esoteric knowledge so it will become one of several reference books used for self instruction. |
0007117868 Lovely book filled with recipies for a healthy natural life. Everything from creating aromatherapy forumlas for colds and flue, insect repellants, fomulas for negative thinking, bath and body products, to food. Highly recommended. I found this book very interesting. I love growing plants & I like the option ... |
0007117914 When I first saw this book, I expected it to be a boring, bla bla, book. But it was a present, so I was thinking to give it a try.Although I was not a big stressfull person, now, my stress is fairly totaly gone. And not only stress, also my negative thoughts, conflicts with other people, shame, insecurity, f... |
0007118481 When I finished the book, I could see that people can be quite evil. They could very well be in our homes, our work place, or at the local Wawa.Maybe even I have some tendencies that rose up in the hearts of men when they are severely tested. Take away food, comfort of every kind, be faced with the greatest ... |
0007118651 The other reviews on of this book on amazon are telling. One reviewer refers to Caplan as "Dr. Caplan." As far as I can tell, she is not a doctor of anything. Another identifies her as a "pyschotherapist," but the author bio in the book identifies her only as a counselor.In other words, it appears to be easy... |
