The Things They Carried
Tim O'Brien

Broadway, 1998

Haunting book!
This horrifying and gut-wrenching book makes one really think about war and all the terrors and nightmares that go along with it. So many young lives were ruined or ended as a result and we can never go back and change that. I know many people that served in Vietnam ...
  
  











  



  
Going After Cacciato
Tim O'Brien

Broadway, 1999

Great book!
this book is very well written and enjoyable. It isn't a book about war at all. There are 3 very interesting and seperate stories being told simultaneously.It is still very organized even though there are 3 different stories being told. Highly recommended book!
  
  











  



  
July, July: A Novel
Tim O'Brien

Houghton Mifflin, 2002

O'Brien Never Disappoints
The first O'Brien novel I ever read was The Things They Carried...it was college...I was impressionable...and it slayed me. Since then, he's become one of those authors I know will not disappoint. All of O'Brien's novels tell the story of a generation emboldened by ...

Harness Hibernate... fast
Harnessing Hibernate is a fine book, which uses the most efficient ways to achieve its goal. Though focusing on Hibernate, the book enlists the usage of various frameworks such as Spring Framework, Stripes and Maven. Part I: Hibernate in a hurry: The core ...

Tomcat in Love
Tim O'Brien

Broadway, 1999

Satire at its finest...
The many recent negative reviews for this amazing work of literature sadden me greatly. Granted, I may be a bit biased as a huge fan of O'Brien's other books; but, this is certainly not a typical piece of Tim O'Brien fiction. The main character, Thomas Chippering ...
  
  











  



  
If I Die in a Combat Zone : Box Me Up and Ship Me Home
Tim O'Brien

Broadway, 1999

Reluctant Participant
Being much more familiar with Tim O'Brien's fiction, one may not know what to expect in his memoir about his tour of duty in Vietnam. Written in the same style with a wry sense of humor, O'Brien challenges the war in a way few have. Courage and morality are ...
  
  











  



  
Maven: A Developer's Notebook (Developer's Notebooks)
Vincent Massol, Tim O'Brien

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005

Fast start, gets right to the point.
This is a great book to get a quick introduction to Maven. At about 185 pages, it gets right to the point. It's written using labs and each new one builds on the previous one. I have used Ant and know how it works but was in the dark when it came to Maven. This book ...

Amusement Parks of Pennsylvania
Jim Futrell, Tim O'Brien

Stackpole Books, 2002

Not just for PA residents
As most roller coaster enthusiasts know, there are very few books that go beyond pretty full-color photographs and into the history of a particular park. It is even more difficult to find information on parks not owned by major corporations (e.g. Disney, Paramount, ...
  
  











  



  
Northern Lights
Tim O'Brien

Broadway, 1999

Good debut novel
Excellent debut novel, but Tim O'Brien only got better. All of his tension and emotion in present in this novel, but he still had yet to develope his style and language that has made him, in my opinion, one of America's best writers today. It's a story about privacy. ...
  
  











  



  
The Nuclear Age
Tim O'Brien

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1996

O'Brien is a Gifted Storyteller
I was intrigued in reading the plot of this book as it is posted on the back cover. I have read some of O'Brien's other work and was very impressed. This book is among his best work. The best comparison I could give is that it is a combination of Dr. Strangelove and ...
  
  











  



  
Tonight, by Sea
Frances Temple

HarperTrophy, 1997

Good story, accurate picture
I wish every body would read this and other stories like it. It was well-written and helps people to understand why there are so many people fleeing from Haiti. Stories like this help to give compassion and understanding to a beautiful island nation that is racked ...
