I was moved to tears of joy a number of times in this account of Nelson Mandela's remarkable achievement of unifying South Africa after decades of apartheid and his own 27 years behind bars. His vision, leadership, and personal charm shine through in...more

Douglas Armstrong gave to: The Spellman Files (The Spellmans, #1) by Lisa Lutz (Goodreads Author) read in March, 2012	My rating:

Access to Steve Jobs and the Apple founder's cooperation did not lead author Walter Isaacson to soft-soap his difficult subject. What a remarkable book. Love him and hate him in a single telling paragraph. This fascinating, close-up look at one of th...more
