Customer Reviews and Description This book is a tragic adventure. Anita Lobel recalls the arrival of the Nazis and the end of her childhood as she knew it. I was thankful this book was a fast read, the suspense of what would happen to Lobel and her brother was too much at times. The writing is beautiful and appropriate for young readers as well as adults. Beautiful photos.

Customer Reviews and Description Rabbit-Proof Fence is the story of 3 young part-Aboriginal girls in Australia, the oldest only fifteen years of age. Historically, "half-caste children", (half-Aboriginal and half-Caucasian) were considered wards of the Australian government and were, therefore, forcibly removed from their families and taken to settlment schools that were little more than jails. The purpose of these schools was to prepare these Aboriginal children for their role in white society as domestics and farmworkers. This book is ... Read MoreRead Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description I found the book to be well written and engaging in that typical British anecdotal style that breathes life into historical characters. It offers a detailed account of the sometimes bizarre history of this magnificent city during more than two millennia, all in one book, up until the middle of the 20th century.

Customer Reviews and Description David Sedaris's Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim is a reading experience much more than it is a book. The reason for this is that it is not a novel, nor a memoir, nor a work of non-fiction or much of any other genre that one simply thinks up when the word "book" is mentioned. Sedaris's newest work is rather the prose writer's version of a collection of poems: a collection of separate autobiographical essays mostly having the purpose of entertaining the reader. Entertaining as they are, the problem with the book ... Read MoreRead Reviews and Description

I am a Flight Attendant and occassionally our aircraft must prepare for an emergency landing. When that happens we depend on the fire trucks and the personnel to be there for us - to help 'save us'.

Customer Reviews and Description This was a fun read about this lovable dog, Clara. Pug owners will appreciate her antics as well as the reactions of the people she met along the way. Since the subtitle is The Early Years, I went online to look for a sequel, hoping to find something that would continue Clara's adventures into her newly structured household with Margo, Duke, and their newly adopted Russian son. I was much saddened to learn of Margo Kaufman's untimely death from the cancer that she had battled just two years after she wrote the book. Thanks, Margo, ... Read MoreRead Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description Eldridge Cleaver almost had himself invited to my wedding ceremony... Let me explain. I had been asked to look for an inspirational text by the pastor -a Dane, with a hyphenated name- who took care of our premarital counseling. After some soul-searching, I remembered a paragraph from Eldridge Cleaver's Soul on Ice that I had memorized when I was a teenager because it bore some particular meaning for me at that time. I could not recall the exact passage, but it had something to do with love and truthfulness -a somewhat fitting excerpt, ... Read MoreRead Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description This is simply a fantastic piece of literature, written by a very talented, brave, and steadfast journalist, the great Antjie Krog. Krog, an Afrikaaner (South-African born Caucasian), as part of the South African Broadcasting Corporation's commitment to covering the ongoing stories of torture, abuse, murder and countless other violations to human rights revealed at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Hearings in 1996, recounts many, of a cross section of stories, here in this book. We also get a strong sense of the psychological ... Read MoreRead Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description Absolutely loved this book! Just picked it up from the library today on a whim and couldn't put it down. Talk about a match made in heaven (Tasha and Richard). Tasha must have sensed Richard would do her justice, and he most certainly did. Even though this is a libary loan, I am buying this book for my own personal collection. Tasha's philosophy on life and her love for family, theater, crafts, animals, flowers and art was most infectious. I love how she is honest with herself and alludes to creating a paradise on earth, but also acknowledges ... Read MoreRead Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description I'm doing something I haven't done before -- writing a review before finishing the book. I just couldn't get through it. I thought this might be useful info in and of itself.
