The Glass Castle: A Memoir
Jeannette Walls
Scribner
, 2006
Five stars: An inspirational true story
An amazing story of courage, confidence, and most of all, love. The tales from Jeannette's crazy childhood are, at times, unbelievable. There were moments when I wanted to scream through the pages of the book at her parents, and even at Jeannette herself. Her parents ...

The Night of the Gun: A Reporter Investigates the Darkest Story of his Life--His Own
David Carr
Simon & Schuster
, 2008
If the story sounds familiar, the approach will not. The result is excellent.
It sounds like books you've read before; the true stories of a junkie's drug-addled existence, the downward spiral, the damage to friends, family and career. Like many of those books, this one too is written by the former junkie himself. But this book is not like the ...
My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey
Jill Bolte Taylor
Viking Adult
, 2008
Valuable information about stroke; but the book has its flaws
I debated over whether to give this book three, four, or five stars. The information that Dr. Taylor presents about the brain and stroke is worth five stars, without question. But I have a few complaints about how she presents this information; and lots of complaints ...

Smear Campaign from a Repeat Offender
Everyone knows this author is a documented liar - so who buys this tripe? This is the same idiot who wrote the Swift Boat book that has been proven to be nothing but a ridiculous smear campaign. Do your own research if you're actually interested in any candidate. ...

A Relaxing Read

I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell
Tucker Max
Citadel Press
, 2006
One of the best books ever written
Without a doubt, this is one of the best books ever written (aside from many editing errors. Who the hell edited this thing?). I am a 46 year old woman, and my partner and I read chapters out loud to each other and laughed ourselves to tears. We have loaned the book ...
