Alcoholic author gets girl. Couple get dog. Dog bites girl repeatedly. Alcoholic author and dog lose girl. Alcoholic author gets sober and takes dog training classes. Dog learns. Recovering alcoholic author gets girl again. Happily ever-after.
Pardon me while I give this book “damning” praise but the Elders was OK. The writing was smooth and I assume it gives at least one side of one person's disillusionment with Mormonism. For that it kept my interest but at times I was simply apathetic.
You don't have to be an extrovert to be a good introvert. Useful advice that helps you use who you are not what someone else thinks you should become.
Enjoyable read that makes even spread sheets fun. Solid business advice given with a bit of whimsy.
Although this is an interesting, beneath the surface examination of a well known ballad it doesn't hold up as a good read for me.
The characters are rather shallow and can be summed up as villain, villain, anti-hero, minor pathetic soul, and bewildered narrator. I'll leave it up to you to judge who is who.
Sharyn McCrumb is an excellent writer who I really want to love again. I hope she gets back to her roots of Appalachian story telling.
Great White Sharks,ghosts, and mysterious islands...what's not to like?
Ms. Casey deftly captures our primal fears of a mouth full of sharp, ragged teeth barreling towards us. She draws us into a world that our reptilian brains are screaming at us to swim»swIM»SWIM away from.
Scary, delicious, and an exciting tour of the Farrallone Islands.
Loved it.
Haunting. Great photos. Especially intrigued by Lebow Brother's Clothing Company. All that fabric and all those coats...abandoned.
I spent a lot of time in revivals growing up in rural Southern Missouri. Ms. West captures the essence of the evangelical movement and the particular religious fervor engendered by ecstatic experiences and psychological manipulation. She also catches the violence, jealousy, and turf guarding that is often acted out by “God's people”.
This is a good read, but it definitely is not pleasant.
I felt that I should check the publishing date (2012) as sometimes the advice sounded more like 1953 than 2013. There are a few good items so it gets a slim three.
Stark. Well crafted. For me probably not a true four but more than a three.
20 minutes later. Sorry couldn't do it. Turn's out it is only a three.
Well written as usual with some lines that you just want to lick like an ice cream cone till all the sweetness is gone from them.
Good book with clearly illustrated pictures demonstrating proper form. Some really good tips that I haven't seen elsewhere.
This book was at best a three and should probably be a one star. The last two chapters are lazy, unbelievable, and completely destroyed the flimsily built universe. Reads like a bad soap opera and I love the circus genre.
This is a short novella which captures story-telling perfection. Well crafted and written with mucho gusto!
Excellent book with easily implemented strategies.
Lost a point because the last few chapters seemed like they were added for word count.
It took a while to get to the point of the book. Once it did though the point was needle sharp. I found this interesting, engaging, informative, and entertaining.
To use the metaphor in the book, it had a few too many bread crumbs at the start but once you get to the second half then you've got a full satisfying meal.
This continues my end of the year roundup (2017) of books in translation or written by non USA authors.
I loved everything about this book!
Ever have those moments when you fully buy into the conspiracy theorists apocalypse of the moment? This is the book that will be your perfect companion. Be careful as you read it as at some point you are probably going to go into full MRE obtaining, cistern filling, bunker building panic. Enjoy >:)
