from Prentice Hall Trade
Customer Review:
When I'm hitting away at several books at a time that have pages in the 500-1000 range, I like to have something to take a break with that is light and easy to read. This little book has 17 brief stories on personages that are familiar to some readers and not to most. I found it to be a delightful... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Doubleday Books
Customer Review:
It was a well written story. Unfortunately, there were a ridiculous number of grammar and spelling errors as well as a couple incorrect facts that really devalued the book for me. I couldn't read 10 pages without seeing a mistake like "the the". I was especially disappointed by these errors since it... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I read this story for a book club, and that sense of accountability was the main reason that I finished it.
The McCourt family's life did not have to be so bad, and the children did not have to be malnourished.
I know we have no right to judge others, but how could the parents keep... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
My former father-in-law is always sending me e-mails with stories of his childhood, his married life, growing up, as a working adult, etc. His stories are incredible. He is 70 years old and a difficult man to buy a present for. I found this book, was originally hesitant to spend so much $40.00 for a... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
I am of two minds when it comes to an "official guide" to any site on the World Wide Web. First, a website can consist of as many pages as necessary to cover the subject, and there can be as many interconnections between pages as necessary to guide the user. Second, the nature of hyperlinking is... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

The 2009 version of Family Tree Maker is awful. One needs to buy a book that will help naviagte it. The old version of the software is so much better. | 3.5 / 5.0

The is one of Scarpetta's better adventures. Temple Brooks Gault, the serial killer released from prison in "Cruel & Unusual" plays mind games with Scarpetta and the NYPD and NY Transit Police after a woman's body is discovered in a park. The twisty plot is worth a re-read, especially for the... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Penguin Books Ltd
Customer Review:
What has Ferguson not told about the Rothschilds in his seemingly exhaustive two volume set?
He all too facilely dismisses Victor Rothschild's being the fifth man in the World War II Soviet spy ring of Blunt, Burgess, et. al. He does not bring up the 1776 Masonic Illuminati order of Adam... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
