This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War
Drew Gilpin Faust

Death and the Civil War
A beautifully written and conceived book. The author approaches the United States and civil war from the perspective of death; a perspective I have never seen addressed. Fascinating in her descriptions of a "good death" and in the stress, grieving and emotional toil ...

Best Pendergast Book
I have read all of the Pendergast novels and other various Preston/Child works and find myself always thinking of this one as my favorite. Although I like the "Diogenes Trilogy" (Brimstone, Dance of Death and Book of the Dead), this one seemed to really work my ...
Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln

a fascinating read
Very interesting read using source material, in their own words, account. The characters are alive and believeable with the background of the election and civil war. The narrative is engrossing and I got lost in the book. It is a biography of the four people who ran ...

Reliquary (Pendergast, Book 2)
Douglas Preston

another great thriller
While I agree this book wasn't as good as Relic, it certainly was an admirable follow-up to it. Storylines left hanging in Relic were resolved albeit perhaps not in the most exciting of ways. What I read in this book enticed me to purchase The Mole People to find out ...

`Fraid the boogie man might git 'cha?
`Fraid the boogie man might git 'cha? Then don't read this book. It might open up Pandora's Box, bust the edges of your world as you know it and it just might wake you up. There are more realities than we acknowledge. This book delves into other realms; pushes the ...

This will be the most talked about Lincoln book this season
