Wonderful!
When I began the book, I didn't like it. I didn't care about Lewis and Clark and their expedition. Then I thought, give it a chance. I believe everyone and everything deserves a second chance. Boy, am I glad that I did! I absolutely loved it! I hated that it ended. ...

Good info, flippant attitude
Its important to know the history of places. Too often history is dry and full of dates. The Meadowlands by Robert Sullivan is not like this. It is the story of his, perhaps unnatural obsession with visiting the rundown, polluted, odd place called the Meadowlands. The ...
