Regarding Ducks and Universes Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories of modern physics. It works, but nobody quite knows what it means in a fundamental sense. One popular current hypothesis of its meaning is Parallel Worlds - every time two possible outcomes exist (such as a coin flip - heads or tails), the universe...

Day Stripper Review

Leadership and Self Deception: Getting Out of the Box Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a most unusual book on leadership. The premise here is not about leadership approaches, methodologies for managing employees in the workplace, or other business strategy, but is instead a close and powerful look at how we view others and how that view impacts our ability to lead them.The first...

Willem De Kooning: The Late Paintings, the 1980s Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Thanks to the efforts of his former wife Elaine, Willem de Kooning was able to enter his last productive period with growing confidence and originality. As a result his late work, in which his unique and beautiful touch and vision come into full flower, may be the best work he ever did. Some critics...

Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stone File: The Ultimate Compendium of Interviews, Articles, Facts and Opinions from the Files of Rolling Stone Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I got this book for Christmas and I was very hopeful that it would tell me 'The Bruce Story" since I didn't really know it. Well, it did and it didn't. Not knowing much about Springsteen's life or career and knowing only the music, reading this book, which consists of chronological news items, interviews...

Being With Him Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Jessica Barksdale Inclán is a new author to me and I was pretty glad when she got in touch with me about being interviewed and having her latest Second Romance series books reviewed by me.

Everybody into the Pool: True Tales Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Some days I resent life as a Midwestern suburban mom. I don't discover trends or talents until they've been around long enough to bore my hipper and more cosmopolitan friends. That feeling was never more acute as I read Everybody Into the Pool: True Tales by Beth Lisick. Every other paragraph had me...

Fatal Truth Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is book 2 in the Inspector Kate Gillespie series, and this book is great! The character's are complex, the mystery has more dips and loops than a rollar coaster, and the scenery is fabulous! (Well maybe I am a bit partial- they visit my town ;0). Sexy IA Investigator Torrance is back heating up...

Hell's Half Acre Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Writing with the gritty realism of Andrew Vachss, Baer has aptly titled Hell's Half Acre, a descent into darkness that requires a strong constitution, but is worth the effort. In this world, killers appear unannounced and strange men mutilate their bodies for kicks, cash can buy anything, no matter how...

1976: A Bicentennial Novel Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)1976 is a telling and eloquently written first-hand account of a young man's discovery of "true love" during the year of America's Bicentennial.

Almost Perfect Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Highly recommended for anyone who's ever been mixed up with someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Unfortunately highly realistic and distressing. I was moved to write a review by the Kirkus Review -- all the dramatic faults noted are not Adams's artistic failure but rather her artistic success,...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is great! You can feel the wheels speeding up and slowing down.I loved this book, and I read it a gazillion times!
