Lost on Planet China: The Strange and True Story of One Man's Attempt to Understand the World's Most ...
J. Maarten Troost

Broadway, 2008

Fun Read
Funny, engrossing, well balanced. Contrary to a couple other reviews, I did not find his views condescending, just honest.
  
  











  



  
Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith
Jon Krakauer

Anchor, 2004

Krakuer takes a different direction
I truly enjoyed Into Thin Air. Under the Banner of Heaven was completely different subject matter. I found this no less engaging, Krakuer again draws you in with nothing more than what it is, a great story needing to be told.
  
  











  



  
Mother on Fire: A True Motherf%#$@ Story About Parenting!
Sandra Tsing Loh

Crown, 2008

CRACKED ME UP!
I read all the "motherhood" books, and they're usually so serious and dry. This one is hilarious! It's like the books my mom used to read about the subject - really funny, and (I know this sounds kind of sappy) uplifting. I'm going to suggest it at my next book ...
  
  











  



  
90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life
Don Piper, Cecil Murphey

Revell, 2004

90 Minutes in Heaven
Very quick and interesting read...I work at Hospicecare of Southeast Florida and I shared the book with 3 of our Pastors employed here and they also enjoyed the journey.
  
  











  



  
True to the Game III
Teri Woods

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

Much better than II.......
Although part III is much better than part II it is still a far cry from the original "True to the Game"...Now II left us believing that Ms. Woods actually made a "Young & the Restless" move & brought Quadir back to life so it was no surprise to learn the identity of ...
  
  











  



  
Just Too Good to Be True: A Novel
E. Lynn Harris

Doubleday, 2008

Enjoyable
This was my first E. Lynn Harris book and I can honestly say I enjoyed it. I didn't know what to expect given what I heard his last novels were about but this book had drama, love and real issues that people face in their everyday lives. I recommend people to pick ...
  
  











  



  
Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and the Past-Life ...
Brian L. Weiss

Fireside, 1988

many lives, many masters
Regressive hypnosis can cure night terrors. I believe Dr. Weiss has performed a service of true and honest information than was dimmed by controlling religions.
  
  











  



  
The True Story of the Bilderberg Group
Daniel Estulin

Trine Day, 2007

Unlocking the Truth About Government
Very happy that Daniel wrote this book. Very brave seeing that these men are ruthless. The true story should have been told a long time ago. I hope it isn't too late to save America. "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group" and the "Naked Capitialist" go hand in ...
  
  











  



  
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Sherman Alexie

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2007

Very Creative and Clever
I can see why this book has been winning awards. It is very creative and clever and Mr. Alexie is a very good writer. Except for the more mature language, I think it could have been a middle-grade novel (instead of young adult), because it seems almost more geered to a ...
  
  











  



  
After the Fire: A True Story of Friendship and Survival
Robin Gaby Fisher

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

One of the best books I've read in a very long time...
I LOVED this book. It's the true story of two young men, terribly burned in a dormitory fire at Seton Hall University a few years back. Living overseas at the time of the fire, I had no knowledge this tragedy ever occurred; but I bought the book on the recommendation ...
  
  











  



  
Harry, A History: The True Story of a Boy Wizard, His Fans, and Life Inside the Harry Potter Phenomenon
Melissa Anelli

Pocket, 2008

Product Description: ***Featuring a Foreword by J.K. Rowling*** The Harry Potter Books Were Just the Beginning of the Story. . . During the brief span of just one decade, hundreds of millions of perfectly ordinary people made history: they became the only ones who would remember what it was like when the Harry Potter saga was still ...
  
  











  



  
The Forger's Spell: A True Story of Vermeer, Nazis, and the Greatest Art Hoax of the Twentieth Century
Edward Dolnick

Harper, 2008

The Real Thing
Every bit as well-written and insightful as The Rescue Artist--a gem of a story from start to finish.
  
  











  



  
In His Sights: A True Story of Love and Obsession
Kate Brennan, None

Harper, 2008

Searing and Incisive
"In His Sights" is a chronicle of one woman's experiences with the man who would become her stalker. She writes under an assumed name and does not give many details about her life because her stalker is still living and occasionally still tries to go after her. This is ...
  
  











  



  
Stolen Innocence: My Story of Growing Up in a Polygamous Sect, Becoming a Teenage Bride, and Breaking Free of ...
Elissa Wall, Lisa Pulitzer

William Morrow, 2008

Stolen Innocence
I've recently read three books on life in the polygamous sect, the FDLS, and this is by far the most readable of the three. Elissa Wall's story is contemporary. She recounts the mental and physical pain of living under the leadership of Warren Jeffs and the ...
