Making The Good Life Last by Merv Griffin
Making The Good Life Last by Merv Griffin is a good book. There is something uncanny about reading something from someone whom have gone through a batch of bad experiences and then emerging as a winner in the end.
I am certainly inspired by the writings of Merv …

Half Price Books
The new half price bookstore is a definite hit. I love the traditional bookstores but this place is ten time better. What makes this store unique from any Borders or Barnes and Noble is that they get their stock from their customers. Half Price Books purchases your …
Red Hot Lies by Laura Caldwell book
This is a great book to read if you like reading books where there is a mystery to solve. However, I felt that it was a little predictable who the bad guy was going to be. I do a lot of reading, so maybe I have developed …

Arabian Nights Book (Novel)

The BBC Micro ROM Book
The full, and arguably rather excessively long, title of this book is (take a deep breath now) “The BBC Micro ROM Book: Sideways ROMs and RAMs”, which if somewhat ponderous does at least give a pretty good idea of what Bruce Smith’s book, published in 1985 by Collins, is …
Clinical Ophthalmology, 6th edition by Jack Kanski
I was required to buy Kanski’s Clinical Ophthalmology: A Systemic Approach, 6th edition this year at my optometry school. While at first I was unhappy about having to spend over $200 on the book, I am quite happy with it. It is not just another fat book with far …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Children of Hamlin
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Children of Hamlin is a dreadfully dull novel that I had difficulty following and finishing. It is a story about revenge and prejudice as well as seeing past one’s enemy and one’s actions to avoid further bloodshed. The story is mainly driven …
Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult novel
“Change of Heart,” is, in my opinion, an incredibly inspiring novel and one of Picoult’s best. It has been at least a year since I first read this novel, but I still have vivid memories of its beautifully described characters.
This book’s central message in relation to the capacity we …
Natual Cures They Don’t Want You To Know About
I recently read Kevin Trudeau’s first book on natural cures. I could not put the book down once I started reading it. It is very compelling. One part that I found fascinating was the discussion on conspiracies going on to prevent people from acquiring the knowledge necessary to cure …
Graeme Hick Benefit Year 1999 commemorative book
The Graeme Hick Benefit Year 1999 commemorative book is, to be perfectly honest, not something that anyone other than a die-hard cricket fan would be likely to be all that interested in reading, and in truth its truly avid readership is probably confined to supporters of Worcestershire County Cricket …

NO MORE Mr. NICE GUY, book by ROBERT GLOVER

This book is about how …
Better Off Friends, novel by Elizabeth Eulberg
I never read anything from this author before Better Off Friends, so I didn’t know if I was gonna like it. It caught my attention because I love this best-friends-who-fall-in-love type of stories, so I was excited for it. I ended up really enjoying it; it was a very …

I like to pick up travel books in places I’m interested whenever I can, especially if they’re on sale. Although it’s about five years old, the majority of the information is still relevant, and the book is one of the better travel guides I’ve come across.
The book prided itself …
Killing Britney by Sean Olin book
This is one of those horror books that have a twist ending. I admit I probably should have seen it coming, but I didn’t. I suppose it’s kind of clever, too, as long as you don’t figure it out before the end. Mainly this is a teen thriller about …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chains of Command
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chains of Command is a novel that is appealing in some ways, yet disappointing in many others. It is appealing, in part, because of the aliens that are created just for this story: they are a race of intelligent avian, or bird-like, creatures. …
