Hard to Put Down
This book is amazing. It is both tragic and funny. The stories are non stop and really show how messed up ones life can get when hooked on junk. I highly recommend it.

Project Management Institute
Project Management Institute, 2004
Amazon is the best site (Can't say the same about the carrier USPS)
It showed me the book was delivered on USPS website and I had no idea where it was (It sure had not been delivered). So I contacted Amazon and they responded to me within 2 hrs that the package might have been lost and dispatched a new one immediately. I got the book ...

On Writing
Stephen King
Pocket, 2002
This is how it's done!
Until I read On Writing by Stephen King, I had never read any of his books. To be honest, since On Writing, I've only read one other of his books which I didn't like so we've come to an impasse.... however On Writing is one of the best books I've read. The first ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday, 2008
Great Book As Evidenced by Liberal Reviews & Placement
Plainly this book has been out for quite some time but until it showed up on audio I didn't even know it existed. Why? Because it was well hidden by the major book stores that typically hide anything conservative on the bottom shelf of some sociology section in the ...

The Lions of Lucerne
Brad Thor
Pocket Star, 2002
Excellent Thriller
I really enjoyed this book. I hesitate reading a lot of popular fiction because it gets rather obscene. A few of the bad guys swear in this, but, overall, not so bad. The story is really interesting. It weaves its way through so many paths that it is difficult to ...

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Star Wars)
Karen Traviss
Del Rey, 2008
Clone Wars delivers an action-packed Anakin story
"The Clone Wars" tells a story about a day in the life of Anakin. This is no rehash of the Cartoon Network's "Animated Clone Wars." Even compared to episodes II & III, many of the prominently featured characters play a much smaller role. This is okay because this story ...

HarperEntertainment, 2002
Motley Crue dives into their dark and twisted souls to give the reader a warning about Sex Drugs and Rock N Roll
At least the title to this review sounds good. LOL
Considering the book is over 400 pages long, I was surprised that I finished it in a day. It is a very interesting novel although sometimes NOT well written, but then again some of Crue's songs were NOT well ...
