Country Driving: A Journey Through China from Farm to Factory

Peter Hessler

Harper, 2010

A worthy end to the China trilogy.
As implied in the review title, this work builds on Hessler's prior non-fiction, all eminently readable. I suggest you pick up the other books first before venturing into this volume. You will note the author's assessments mature and become sharper as he goes on. ...

The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl

Ree Drummond

William Morrow Cookbooks, 2009

Great cookbook for old cooks and new
This book has step-by-step directions and just to make it a little bit easier there are pictures for each step. I love her "chatter" through out the book, it really makes it feel like you are cooking with a good friend. This book would be a great gift. The new guy on ...

The Last Train from Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back (John MacRae Books)

Charles Pellegrino

Henry Holt and Co., 2010

New title: The Last Gasp of Credibility
I love military history - everything from the Revolution through Vietnam. So, needless to say I was looking forward to reading this one. Being a Barnes & Noble member, imagine my surprise to find that I could not purchase the book at my local store. However, I was ...

A Patriot's History of the United States: From Columbus's Great Discovery to the War on Terror

Larry Schweikart, Michael Allen

Sentinel Trade, 2007

Best Bet for understanding American History
My first thought, is this a review link or a political blog? It amazes me how the liberals hate to have their opinions confused with facts. All, those socialist and marxist that rated this book a one star, did so because they hated the way the book presented facts ...

Aftershock: Protect Yourself and Profit in the Next Global Financial Meltdown

David Wiedemer, Robert Wiedemer, ...

Wiley, 2009

In its field: Outstanding; Outside: Not so good
Although I don't particularly like the way this book is written and disagree with most of the irrelevant asides offered in support of the analyses: I find this to be the most complete and comprehensive analysis of America's ongoing economic problems that I have thus ...

The Man from Beijing

Henning Mankell

Knopf, 2010

I almost passed on reading this book...
...due to a terrible review in The Economist. Having read the book now, I think the Economist reviewer allowed some of Mankell's positive comments about Robert Mugabe and the effects of British colonial policy in Africa to influence their view of the whole book ...

StrengthsFinder 2.0: A New and Upgraded Edition of the Online Test from Gallup's Now, Discover Your Strengths

Tom Rath

Gallup Press, 2007

StrengthFinder 2.0 ... Too few
The item has a high rating ... I would have to give Amazon a low rating on this purchase. I needed 33 books, but was limited to purchasing only 3 books. Needless to say, Amazon lost my business when I had to go somewhere else to purchase the remainder of the books. ...

William Sears, Martha Sears, ...

Little, Brown and Company, 2003

A Must Have!
If you hate the idea of using the Ferber method than this book is for you. I do not understand how anyone could let their baby cry because they find it inconvenient to pick up them up or go without some sleep. They are not babies forever and this book explains that. I ...

Awesome
This is an amazing read if your writing a zombie survival or living one lol.

Helmet for My Pillow: From Parris Island to the Pacific

Robert Leckie

Bantam, 2010

Absolutely spellbinding. Couldn't put it down.
One of the best personal memoirs of war I have ever read. Leckie is brutally honest about anything and everything to do with his experiences in the 1st Marine Division during WWII. Incredibly impressed by his sensitive candor and philosophical reflections on the impact ...

The Real ACT Prep Guide: The Only Official Prep Guide From The Makers Of The ACT

ACT Inc.

Peterson's, 2007

Great for Practicing - not for learning strategy.
I tutor students in ACT prep and this is the only workbook I use. I like it because it has real ACT tests from the past, so my students feel confident walking into the test for real. But if you're looking to learn good strategies, this is not the resource for you. I ...

I, Alex Cross

James Patterson

Little, Brown and Company, 2009

I, Alex Cross
Another great Patterson book. Page turner et.al. Wonderful to be back with Alex Cross. He is true to form. The book is a bit gruesome as it is overtly, graphically violent in spots. I have found Patterson's books are getting more and more hard to digest from that ...
