An Eagle Named Freedom: My True Story of a Remarkable Friendship
by Jeff Guidry
For Animal Lovers (5/6/2010)
Animal lovers will really enjoy getting a look at the inner workings of a wildlife center and the interesting and wonderful work they do that we do not hear about. The antics of the animals will make you laugh and cry. The author's true story of his volunteer work, his remarkable relationship with Freedom (an American bald eagle) and the impact of that work on his personal life was an enjoyable read. Those who like animal stories will find this to be an easy read.
The Man From Saigon: A Novel
by Marti Leimbach
Going back in time (3/2/2010)
Well written story about the Viet Nam era from the perspective of a reporter from a female magazine. It gave me insight into the world of war from those who experience it first hand. So many who have been immersed in war don't share because of the horrors they experienced and this story certainly shows the inner lives of those who were there. The book flowed well except sometimes the change in time and characters took extra thought to keep track of. I would definitely recommend to others and will share my copy with friends.
