Into the Wild
Jon Krakauer
Anchor
, 2007
Great Story and the movie was good too
I loved the detailed pieces of the puzzle that Krakauer assembled. I did not particularly like his story "into thin air", but I loved "into the wild". I also liked the movie too. In the end, I thought Krakauer left a favorable testimonial to the kid. He rambled and ...

This was a very touching book. I could not put it down what so ever! I read it on my way to Wisconsin Dells for a vacation back in May. I cried because it is heartfelt and God forbid a child ever go through that!

, 2002
A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life.
After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of ...

Marcus Luttrell
Back Bay Books
, 2008
Very good book, don't listen to the hate
Reading the negative reviews and then reading the book I have to wonder if these negative reviewers and I read the same book. I think the guy is allowed his opinions after what he went through. Not to mention his opinions are just common sense. Also I love the reviews ...

Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools
Jonathan Kozol
Harper Perennial
, 1992
a very important book
First of all, I realize this book is slightly dated, in that it was published 17 years ago. The unfortunate thing is that I don't believe much has changed since Kozol wrote it... if there have been major changes, he wouldn't have found it necessary to write his second ...

Prentice Hall

Amazing Text
This text is spectacular. This edition is a triumph. I was a bit dubious when the forward obliquely compared this book to The Beatles (The White Album), but have become more sympathetic to the perspective as I have spent more time with it. Cooper/Heron is simply the ...
