It's like a horror novel! I could not stop reading this book all the way to the end.

The basis is from the UN's own words (on its website!) But what Beck has done is construct an accurate portrait of what life would actually be like under this NWO plan - and it is MISERABLE. EVERYONE should be outraged at the UN/gov/politicians and anyone supporting this wretched plan. (You will be after reading this.) I recommend spreading this book to as many people as possible to get eyes opened - no matter what party you belong to. Freedom needs to be preserved for ALL.

This book is simply stunning and should be mandatory reading for high school. It doesn't attempt to be overly political but shows a stark naked picture of the reality of war (WW1.)

Incredible. Just about everything David Wilkerson wrote in this 1998 book has come to pass! He was 10 years ahead of his time.

If one desires to choose just ONE book to read on Dahlia, this would be it. I, too, could not put this down. There is some amazing, convincing proof presented here - but how can one ever be 100% sure? Of the many Dahlia theories out there, this one seems to make the most sense.

This book is horrible. The concept is simple - people addicted to cell phones turn into zombies. How is that different from reality? The worst King book I've ever read - and regretted wasting time on!

Glenn Beck isn't the greatest writer around but he knows how to tell a story. Well worth reading.

An excellent bio from a wonderful lady. The only downside is that it ends just before she quit the 2012 Presidential race.

This is my favorite Christmas book. I reread it every year (it isn't overlong.) She recalls the happy Christmases of her youth. Finding her father's 1800's Christmas sermon in an old attic trunk almost 100 years later (still a treasure, even today). The Christmas story of Luke shared by Corrie. Every chapter is a spirit-lifting classic.


Daddy Was the Black Dahlia Killer : The Identity of America's Most Notorious Serial Murderer--Revealed at Last
Review Date: 6/24/2012
Helpful Score: 1


It seems clear that this poor woman suffered enormously. But though riveting none of the claims can be proven. It makes one wonder what caused the author to commit suicide - the effects of the horrendous abuse or the chiding skepticism of the public over her impossible to verify accusations? The book is worth the read if interested in true crime/Black Dahlia, but there are plenty of better, (more plausible?) books on the subject.

If you've seen the movie you know the story. However, this book version is quite wordy and not for learning young readers. A child who adores the story AND is a fluent reader is a better match here.

I wanted advice on dog rearing but the author manages to stray way off subject - with Bush bashing. I did NOT buy this book for political opinion. Plus, some of the behavioral advice given is controversial - not recommended.

A perfect starter book for beginners into the realm of 1930's film. It doesn't cover all that much beyond the standards - Wizard Of Oz, Gone With The Wind, etc. This is merely a short overview - so many films have been overlooked that there should be several volumes published!


Finding It

Review Date: 10/21/2010


Poor Val drones on about the minuscule details of her life after she lost the weight but before the show Hot In Cleveland (it isn't even mentioned.) She goes into detail about her bikini photo shoot, which is the only thing even remotely interesting.

She also squeezes into nearly every chapter her devotion to Obama, which seems odd - isn't this supposed to be a weight management/health advice book? There's not much of that here!


Finding Me: A Decade of Darkness, a Life Reclaimed: A Memoir of the Cleveland Kidnappings
Review Date: 10/5/2014
Helpful Score: 1


WOW! I read this from cover to cover all the way through because I just could not put it down. This poor girl had a terrible life even before she was kidnapped. Perhaps most shocking of all (to some) is the fact that she was able to forgive her tormentor. Michelle is a true American hero.

I cringed when I read this. (I received it as a Christmas gift.) There's nothing wrong with it as a cookbook - it's full of great recipes for every type of ground meat.

BUT I live in the real world and I cannot FATHOM buying all these varieties of expensive(?!) cuts of meat and then grinding them all up into mince. It's seems almost criminal! If you've got money to throw away and want to learn a new technique then it's for you. But I'll pass on this one.

A gorgeous coffee table book. What a beautiful woman Garbo was. I only question why there are several blank pages? Perhaps a photo was scheduled to appear there but the permission was revoked? Almost as an aside, there is text, not revealing anything new, the photos are the star here. Well worth a look!

Review Date: 10/21/2010


The tragedies he's experienced are down-played and not covered much, likely out of respect for George's wishes. If you're looking for that type of material/info you won't find it here. Rather, George's long years of hit-making are the focus. This book is probably for those die-hard fans who'd like a glimpse into the Nashville scene and an overview of George Strait's life.

Review Date: 10/21/2010


What's unique about this volume is that it covers the Old West, but adds in Canadian happenings as well. Well worth the read if you like 1. ghost sightings/hauntings 2. Old West Stories 3. Historical vignettes and/or 4. a variety of all the above.

On the minus side several of these alleged occurrences cannot be verified and rely on only the word of local psychic/mediums. Overall, a good starter if you wish to get names and places to begin your own investigation, whether in person or online.

This is a book by Stephen King's son. While not completely awful, let's just say he is NOT his father. After pushing through this, I wouldn't bother to read anything else he's put out.
