The Mole People: Life in the Tunnels Beneath New York City
Jennifer Toth

Chicago Review Press, 1995

stays with you
I just came across this title in my Amazon recommendations. I read it about 15 years ago and I STILL think about it and recommend it. Absolutely fascinating. I would love to see a follow up to this story.
  
  











  



  
The Winthrop Woman: A Novel
Anya Seton

Chicago Review Press, 2006

A city on the hill?
This book is a fascinating take on the origins of colonial America. I normally do not read historical fiction set in the United States. I selected this book because of my admiration for Anya Seton's Katherine and Avalon. This heavily fact-centered novel starts out in ...

The Eagle and the Raven

Fantastic!
I got this book to help with a drama camp that I was teaching. It helped me organize and plan in a way that kept the kids focused. They had a great time and so did I. I highly recommend this book.
  
  











  



  
This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of the Band
Levon Helm, Stephen Davis

Chicago Review Press, 2000

This book changed my life.
Today is the day I turn 33 years old, and out of all those years, and all of the books I've read, this one takes the proverbial cake. Birthday cake, if you will. Levon Helm is one of my heroes, and with a little help from his friends, he's managed to write a book ...
  
  











  



  
Katherine

Green Darkness
Anya Seton

Chicago Review Press, 2005

Dark Splendor
This book is beautifully written with fascinating subject matter. I am intrigued by the idea of reincarnation, and that we can go back and relive past experiences. Ms. Seton crafts a dark, lurid tale of a doomed love affair between a monk and his lovely student. Unlike ...
  
  











  



  
I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie
Pamela Des Barres

Chicago Review Press, 2005

Entertaining, fun, and informative!!
I got this book for Christmas from my mother, who knows that I have a great love for classic rock and roll. I couldn't wait to read it, and it did not disappoint in the least. This book wasn't a tell all, but a look into what it was like to be part of the "scene". ...
  
  











  



  
Backyard Ballistics: Build Potato Cannons, Paper Match Rockets, Cincinnati Fire Kites, Tennis Ball Mortars, ...
William Gurstelle

Chicago Review Press, 2001

Just Plain Fun
Being a parent and a science teacher, I really love this book. It takes me back to my younger years when it was fun to launch anything more than 10 feet and still have all of your hair intact. What fun this book is! Gurstelle is great!

I'm definitely stronger now!
I purchased this book over the weekend, and was lucky enough to have it signed by several of the phenomenal women who contributed essays. Wow. Instead of spending time with my husband (whom I haven't seen for three days), I stayed up until the wee hours of the ...

FOREVER A CLASSIC, IS FOREVER AMBER

The Ivy Tree
Mary Stewart

Chicago Review Press, 2007

interesting
This book is wordy and descriptive--half of our book club really appreciated her use of words, and half found it tedious. The beginning is a little slow and hard to engage in, but stick with it because the plot thickens enormously in the middle and the twist is so ...
