from Random House Large Print
Price: $23.10
Customer Review:
Enjoyed this book greatly. Also have read the shorter Buffet bio by Roger Lowenstein (sp?) and that is also good. This book however really allowed me to see how Buffet works and views the world. Recommend. | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This book was a gem! So well written, so enjoyable, thought provoking, laughable that it was hard for me to see it end. I had never read any of this author's works before. After reading this book, I know I will read them all. | 3.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I listened to the audio version of this book--read by the author. It is wonderful. Barbara Kingsolver has a lovely voice and a charming sense of humor, and...her book is very well-written. She and her husband and daughter give a very intelligent, impactful rendering of the subject of growing one's... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
After reading this book, there is so much more to Barabara than just the talk shows she has done over the years. This bring her up front and personable. Almost like the View and all the other jobs she has had. Barbara is a woman ahead of her time. She is to be congratulated.

| 6. |  | 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death and Life
from Revell
Price: $11.55
Customer Review:
Other than the description of the "Heaven" experience, this is a simplisticly written account of an extended recovery from very severe injuries from an auto accident. A lot of "poor me", followed by Christian testimonial. Some may find it interesting. | 4.0 / 5.0

| 7. | ![]() | Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
from Thorndike Press
Customer Review:
By all accounts, this should be a lousy book. The life story of a middle-aged, former substance-abusing, self-described SOB and good-but-not-great chef. In the hands of most people, this would be a rambling, uninteresting memoir that would never see the light of day. The fact that Bourdain pulls it... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Into the Wild
from G. K. Hall & Company
Customer Review:
Krakauer, with his experience of extreme adventures and good understanding of psychology, has done an excellent work of investigation.
Methodically, he allows the reader to better understand this tragic story, clearing alongside McCandless of foolishness and irresponsibility suspicions. He... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Here it is a book about adventure and action, emotion and death. The memoirs of a boy soldier. The war in South Africa took its toll on thousands of people, emotionally and physically. Poverty plagues Ishmael Beah in Along Way Gone.
Along Way Gone should be read by adults only. The book uses... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Thorndike Press
Price: $24.96
Customer Review:
Steve Martin is a genius. No question. He was extremely funny for a long time, and his post-comedy career has revealed him to be an artist capable both of graceful and inspired work (think Leap of Faith and L.A. Story) and some truly bottom-rate fare. Here, he tries but doesn't connect with a new... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
