Enjoyable, fun, interesting and honest
Really one of the books I couldn't stop reading it. No pauses, a continuous 2 days reading. It was very interesting and attractive. Honest and straight, the writer has the ability to present the moment, the most interesting happening, the most notable thought. ...

The Soloist: A Lost Dream, an Unlikely Friendship, and the Redemptive Power of Music
Steve Lopez
Putnam Adult
, 2008
The Soloist
The Soloist by Steve Lopez was such an excellent read. I related to the music side because I am a pianist and the mental illness side. I've never had Schizophrenia, but when feeling down I know how revitalizing music is. This was a warm, touching story that pulls you ...
Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper
Diablo Cody
Gotham
, 2006
A great read!
I loved this book! Not only was it hilarious, it also gave an interesting look into a world I knew nothing about. I laughed out loud at many parts of this book--Cody is truly talented at getting humor on paper! I have passed this book on to others, both men and ...
The Unlikely Lavender Queen: A Memoir of Unexpected Blossoming
Jeannie Ralston
Broadway
, 2008
Can't stop thinking about this book...
I stumbled upon this book when researching "how-to" books for starting a garden. I was anxious to get to the chapters that dealt with the Lavender, but it didn't take long before I was hooked on the main characters, Jeannie and Robb. Actually, I still can't get them ...

This is truely wonderful book
I really love this book. The very first story that I read was about a criminal who saved the life of George Washington. It is a very entertaining way to learn about the American Revolution because it is like you are learning about these events first hand. Also the ...

Franklin Foer
Harper Perennial
, 2005
how soccer explains the world
This was a well written book regarding soccer in the global community. I would encourage anyone who enjoys the game to read this interesting perspective on how soccer is influenced by religion and race and vice versa.

This book moved me enough to write this review
Here is a copy of an email I just sent my friends, and I want to share it with anyone reading these reviews. I'm reluctant to impose my spiritual beliefs, such as they are, on anyone - I wouldn't have made a very good disciple! - but I can't help but share this ...
The Unlikely Spy
Daniel Silva
Signet
, 2003
Silva is taking a month out of my life!
I stumbled across "Mark of the Assassin" a couple weeks ago. Upon completion, I purchased every available novel written by Silva. "The Unlikely Spy" is more complicated than most thrillers. It is also not as polished as his later novels. It does clearly show a ...
The Beautiful Struggle: A Father, Two Sons, and an Unlikely Road to Manhood
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Spiegel & Grau
, 2008
A great book
As someone who grew up as a "county boy" around the same period as this book there was a lot of things that I could relate to. I saw myself and my childhood and my relationship with my father at times when reading this book. Though my experiences were not quite the ...

"Come fly with me"
Several years have passed since Wendy Kopp wrote this account of how she established what has since become one of the most effective change agent organizations throughout public school education in the U.S., Teach For America. As I read her book, I was reminded of the ...
Lonely Avenue: The Unlikely Life and Times of Doc Pomus
Alex Halberstadt
Da Capo Press
, 2008
Wow!
What a great book. You never think about songwriters when you listen to a song but after reading this book you will. It's the story about the man behind some of the biggest hits of the 50' and 60's but it's so much more. Doc's story is more then his music, it's the ...
Muscle: Confessions of an Unlikely Bodybuilder
Samuel W. Fussell
Harper Paperbacks
, 1992
Transformation and Power, POWER, POWAH !!
This is the ONLY book that I immediately started reading again after I read it for the first time. And now, about two years later, I am reading it again. Why does it appeal to me? I think it is because Fussell is an "ordinary" (although highly educated) man, not ...
