Decent book - definitely a girl read, though. Kind of cheesy in parts. Some really great thoughtful insights. Might be nice to highlight some areas. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61529773 to: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Paperback) by Betty Smith
Entertaining enough to read the entire thing - but not a book that grips you through and through. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52080939 to: The Many Lives & Secret Sorrows of Josephine B. (Josephine Bonaparte, #1) by Sandra Gulland
Great book - thoroughly enjoyed it. I hear the sequels are good, too. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52080797 to: A Thousand Splendid Suns (Hardcover) by Khaled Hosseini
This is well-written and entertaining from start to finish. Just depressing, though. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38847359 to: Angels & Demons (Robert Langdon, #1) by Dan Brown
I really enjoyed this book. With the exception of the 4 gruesome scenes, but they were brief. I recommend this!! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37449184 to: Beneath a Marble Sky (Paperback) by John Shors
Great book! A story of the building of the Taj Mahal through the life of the daughter of the Emperor. A love story, a historical fiction and very well done! The life at court is similar to "The Other Bolyn Girl" which was also very well done! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36215201 to: Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story (Paperback) by Ben Carson
This is like the best book ever written!! Everyone, stop what you're doing right now and order this book from Amazon or get it from your library!! It is the true story of a poor kid out of Detroit with a single mom who beat the odds and fought and studied and worked and is the top neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins. It is a fascinating story!!!!! It's a quick read, too, which is always nice. It teaches some good parenting skills practices, too. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36121172 to: A Train to Potevka (Paperback) by Mike Ramsdell
It is a great story - but he spreads the book out too long. I'm still glad that I read it, though. It's a true story of a man in US Intelligence over in Russia during the Cold War. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35153144 to: Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time (Paperback) by Greg Mortenson
I started to read it and stopped, started again and actually finished it. It wasn't my favorite, but it's not bad either. It's a story about a man raising money to build schools in Pakistan. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35153248 to: The Holy Secret (Hardcover) by James L. Ferrell
I enjoyed The Peacegiver more, but I think I need to read this one again. His next book coming out next year on the Old Testament is REALLY good! ]]>
