Loved it!
I loved this book. It is hilarious and I felt like I was reading a book about my life. Having just turned 40 and being an overweight, ex-sorority girl myself, I could totally relate to Jen's dieting struggles and so many other issues. I have read and thoroughly ...

Great Stories, But Be Careful
Harpst's great book should be tempered with book's like How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of "Intangibles" in Business and The Halo Effect: ... and the Eight Other Business Delusions That Deceive Managers. If we are careful to qualify how much can really be ...

We came so close...
Like most Americans (or maybe not...), I knew that the Cuban Missile Crisis was a dangerous time in the history of our planet. But until I read One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War by Michael Dobbs, I don't think I fully ...

Art In The Horrific Details
Stories of abused and battered children in Africa are legion, but few cut as close to the bone as this collection by Uwem Akpan. His five tales, two of which are novella length, are told with the uninhibited, truth-filled voices of the children involved. Each one ...

Real life
I loved this book. Yes, it has some sex details in it to keep with the theme of the book. But it is really the story of love and the struggles of managing kids and work and life and family, while not forgetting you are a part of a couple. I had numerous ...
The Hollow (Sign of Seven Trilogy, Book 2)
Nora Roberts
Jove
, 2008
What can I say..
This is the second book in a triology. The first book sets up the background and sets the stage for the first set of characters. Unlike other reviews I found that the background was more important because the characters continue into the next book. I think people ...

Not what I expected
Although there were some good ideas in this book, I found comparing a child to a 'neanderthal'and all the prehistoric parenting talk (as if we are training chimps) a bit disconcerting. I also didn't care for suggestions to use 'magic words, magic or invisible ...
Batman: Year One
Frank Miller
DC Comics
, 2007
A classic that leaves you wanting more
Many "Classic" Batman stories don't live up to the hype and Frank Miller's work is not always 100%, but this tale definitely is. I don't see it as a re-telling of the Batman origin as it is often touted to be, since the story mostly focuses on Jim Gordon and his ...
