I recently read Henry Ford’s book “My life and work”. The book was written in a very businesslike and substantive manner, with no goofy deviations. “Pouring water” is not his method, only a businesslike approach and proper expenditure of resources, whatever it is: time, money, words.
It is …

Point of Origin was written by Patricia Cornwell and published by Berkley Books, 1998.
The story could have been good, if not for the dreary medical and forensic jargon and unnecessary details of tedious proceedings. These do not impress; I suspect these are to fill up space for …

Written by Fred Van Lente & Dean Koontz
