"Two thumbs Up"

A Night Without Armor

Mejan Morrell
Though full of meaning to her, these poems are a bit confusing to the reader. Many of them convey feelings which the reader has been subjected to, letting them understand and somewhat bond with what she is saying. Awesome!

This book rocks! It is real, and, unlike Shakespeare and all those other dead poets, Jewel makes sense! No thys, thees or thous. All of you who thinks it sucks, well, I'm sad to hear you are jealous of her.

I've enjoyed reading the Mitford series; however, I was disappointed in the majority of A New Song. At least the first half of the book appears to be a reprint of Out To Canaan. A brief synopsis of previous books may have been appropriate for those who have not read …more

The Mitford series was like going on a vacation where one meets people who they learn to love and want to spend time getting to know. Most importantly Jan Karon adds Biblical truths into the storyline that would bring someone to Christ.

Pixie Pizarro
This series is one of the most heartwarming that I have ever read. I have told many to read Ms. Karon's books, and all have told me how wonderful they are and how good they make one feel. Would just like to know if anyone knows when the next twp books will be …more

I have read all five books of the Mitford series and loved them so much that I just finished reading them for the second time and will continue to keep them in library for future readings. Am hoping Jan Karon will continue to write about these wonderful characters.

Karen Potts
If you have read any of the other books in this series, you will feel as if you are "coming home". There is a new location, a new church, and some new characters, but this book gives the reader the same warm feeling that the others in the Mitford series has given. …more

I have now read all the books in this series and have enjoyed each one so very much. I pray that Ms. Karon will continue to write more books about Father Tim and Cynthia, and all of the other wonderful characters. Father Tim is my very favorite priest in life.
A Monk Swimming
A Monk Swimming: A Memoir
by Malachy McCourt
 (7/15/2001)
Daniel McDermount
I found this book to be above average at parts, but as a whole, I was not entirely pleased. Yes, Mr. McCourt shared many interesting accounts of his life with the readers, but I must agree with Ms. McIlraith. His use of language could be a bit offensive at …more

A Monk Swimming: A Memoir
by Malachy McCourt
 (7/15/2001)
Eric Carlsson
My dear Erin, nothing could be further from the truth. "A Monk Swimming" is a devilishly funny, and outrageously entertaining book. To try and compare it to "Angela's Ashes" is like drawing parallels between apples and oranges. For one is the dark, evoking …more

A Monk Swimming: A Memoir
by Malachy McCourt
 (7/15/2001)
Erin McIlraith
I personally despised this book. It was the worst memoir I have ever read! I find Mr. McCourt's language disturbing and his accounts with pretty "young things" sickening. He gives the Irish a bad name. Not to mention, most of the time while reading his book, I …more
A Man In Full
A Man In Full
by Tom Wolfe
 (7/15/2001)
Roger Singer
In 'A Man in Full' Tom Wolfe has tried to capture the essence of a time period, as he has done so masterfully in the past. Unfortunately, this time around it becomes too obvious too soon that Mr. Wolfe has reached way too far in his attempts at journalistic …more

A Man In Full
by Tom Wolfe
 (7/15/2001)
Joe Pearl
Tremendously satisfying character development. No hidden agendas. a page turner. Wolfe seems to have been in a hurry to finish. The wrap-up ending was somewhat disappointing.
A Man In Full
A Man In Full
by Tom Wolfe
 (7/15/2001)
Nigel Bly
Tom Wolfe's A Man in Full is not only an outstandingly entertaining book, but one that leaves the reader feeling deeply satisfied. Where one would be hard pressed to find a character in Bonfire of the Vanities to feel empathy toward, A Man in Full is loaded with a …more

A Man In Full
by Tom Wolfe
 (7/15/2001)
Linda
A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe is not, in my opinion, a page-turner. Rich men who discard their wives is the fare of T.V. soap. What happens in the first 200 pages is predictable. Is it worth continuing? Why?

I read "A God in Ruins" directly after reading "Exodus" and was stricken by two things:
First, "Exodus" was near sublime, the research was astounding and the characters were wonderful.
"A God in Ruins", however, did not appear to live up to any of the standards set …more

Mr. Uris let's his personal bias get in the way of what could have been a most interesting story. His contempt for the NRA is obvious as well as his dislike for Republicans. Unfortunately the story is disjointed and leaps from decade to decade without any real cohesion. …more

A Day Late and A Dollar Short
by Terry McMillan
 (7/15/2001)
Sharm
I have never read a book in my life that has made me to appreciate my family, friends and my surroundings even more than before. It has taught me that life has a lot to offer and one must be brave enough to take the risk before it becomes too late. The author has also …more
A Darkness More Than Night
A Darkness More Than Night
by Michael Connelly
 (7/15/2001)
P. Clark
A powerful trip into the mind and soul, of the most intense kind. Connelly joins James Lee Burke and Dennis Lehane, to become a "literary" mystery/crime/thriller writer. The book simply grabs you in the first two chapters and never lets you go. When I finished the …more
