review 1: I was disappointed with the direction this book went in the end. The insights of the first half of the book into the subtlety and pervasiveness of pride and the desire to "leave one's mark on the world" is jaw-dropping in its honest, raw, assessment. Unfortunately, the book resol...

review 1: The writing is better than most reviewers are giving it credit for (the style anyway) but, I have to agree with most when they say the personal subplot took away from the main point. People picked this up to read a behind the scenes look into a reality show compeition not to see ...

review 1: The author requests anonymity ostensibly because she/he has been in the same room as Mr. Obama. I believe she/he is trying to imply that she/he has been one of Mr. O's closer friends/associates. With that said, I have trouble beleiving that this person is still a friend/associa...

review 1: Subtitled 'the inside story of the Olympic experience' and anonymously written, this reveals the good, the bad and the ugly about the relentless and single-minded focus required to get there, the struggle between reveling in just 'being there' versus the all-or-nothing sense of o...

review 1: I didn't care for this version. I think the translation was ok, but my main problem with the story was the story itself. There are two tales---the first one is the source of the story, originating in Persia. I actually liked that one. The second was the Aladdin tale that is most ...

review 1: This author never fails to amuse and entertain me! I could never go wrong with this author, ever!Devil's Graveyard, being the 3rd book, is set on events that had happened between the 1st and 2nd book of the Bourbon Kid series. However, it's still best to read it in order, after r...

review 1: The Bible, of course, as the inerrant word of God, is the greatest book ever penned by man - it needs no review. You don't review the Bible - the Bible reviews you. This format of the HCSB Bible, in my opinion the greatest English translation of the Bible currently in existen...

review 1: Very short list of Do's and Don'ts written during the first century. Glad I read it -- have heard it mentioned a few times lately. But the grave danger in this book is it is just another Pharisetical set of rules to aspire to. (The Pharisees had a very noble and godly beginnin...

review 1: I have had this Bible since my confirmation in 1994 (which is apparently when it was published). It's paperback, worn, and contains my notes from AACS bible class (Mr.D!). Sometime in my adulthood I added tabs for each book (I just realized today that my rainbow tabs aren't just ...

review 1: Perhaps it is the actual story of 'Aladdin' that just doesn't so it for me? I think Pullman does a good job at writing the story, and it has a few nice revelations in too. For instance, I didn't know that the story takes place in China, not Arabia. I guess that's what we get for ...

review 1: This book made me more confused than ever. Not sure what I believe. Everyone in the old testament is crazy, but the stories in the new testament were inspiring and interesting. The book itself was a little hard to get through, the writing not being very engaging. But that's what ...

review 1: Quand j'ai vu ce livre pour la première fois je n'ai même pas hésité je l'ai acheté, non seulement parce qu'il parle de football mais aussi parce que l'idée qu'un joueur écrive un livre de façon anonyme et nous fasse découvrir l'envers du décor dans le foot était une idée vraimen...

review 1: Firstly, I wonder why this book is getting such bad reviews... It is not action-packed as the previous ones; but, damn, there's a reason for this! I am sure it was Anon's intention to tell us more about the Bourbon Kid. And to make it less serious, he whips out Sanchez the dork, ...

review 1: The Arabian Nights’ Entertainments is the very first translation in English of A Thousand and One Nights (1706-21). It was translated from Antoine Galland’s Mille et Une Nuit (1704-17) by an anonymous ‘Grub Street’ translator. Antoine Galland, a French scholar well-read in langua...

review 1: Même si j'adore cette série, ce tome n'était pas un grand coup de cœur comme il l'était le premier tome. J'ai adoré retrouver le Bourbon Kid et tous les personnages, me retrouver dans l'atmosphère bizarre et sinistre de Santa Mondega et la touche d'humeur qui me fait sourire même...

review 1: I am currently using this in the ESV version. The layout of this is dated for every day of the year, though not by the year, so it can be used year after year. It is broken into Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, Proverbs, for the reading. At the end of the year, one has cover...
