Reviewing: "The Concrete Maze" by Steven Torres by kevintipple Pros: A full read....
Cons: with no cons. Set in New York City, this novel opens in 1992. Years ago, Luis (Tio) Ramos left Puerto Rico because of the draft and was sent to Vietnam. Like a lot of vets he saw combat and never talks about the things he saw or the things he did. Wounded, he survived ...

Reviewing: "Lie Down With The Devil" by Linda Barnes by kevintipple Pros: The entire book...
Cons: which is a series that should be read in order. Not a con for me. The latest in the series finds Carolotta estranged from nearly everyone and not by her choice. Sam Gianelli is on the run somewhere overseas and can't come home because of federal trouble in Vegas. He is refusing all help or contact and with things ...

Those Durned Infidels... by BaronSamedi3 Pros: There are a few valid points which some atheists conveniently forget
Cons: Too many blanket statements and personal stories Part of the reason I decided to read Becky Garrison's book The New Atheist Crusaders was because I recently had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Garrison at a bar in Chicago. A group of well known ministers representing an emerging form of ...

Magic Garden Fairies: An Enchanting Coloring Book For Fairy Fanatics by Freak369 Pros: Sixteen images, perforated paged, great for fairy lovers.
Cons: Hard to find in retail stores. Faeries. Fairies. It doesn't matter how you spell it, they are a hot selling item. When Annabelle was younger she had a thing for Tinkerbell. Try telling a four year old that Tinkerbell isn't a fairy and you ...

Bones and paintings.....a mystery? I think not! by hist Pros: Cute characters, actually makes a killer sympathetic
Cons: A bit of a nothing at the end of it all Bones in the Belfry, by Suzette A. Hill, is a very light novel. Sequel to A Load of Old Bones, it is ostensibly a mystery (it bills itself as "The Case of the Vicar and the Missing Masterpiece") but seems much more like a low-brow English ...

Jackie Robinson: A Biography by Arnold Rampersad - Much More Than Just a Baseball Biography by AliventiAsylum Pros: incredible depth while maintaining readability
Cons: none For some iconic figures in history, they are very well-known for one aspect or event in their life, and little is said about what their accomplishments were outside of that one thing. Such was what I knew about Jackie Robinson. I knew plenty about his ...

Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Can America Lead a Green Revolution? by JediKermit Pros: Goes beyond "the easy steps," provides hopeful possibilities, patriotic, in its own way.
Cons: A bit dry...it'll be hard to convince nonbelievers to read this one. Like many of you, my first Thomas Friedman book was his best seller "The World is Flat." The book about globalization of the economy and about America's changing role in that world is a perfect companion to Friedman's latest work, "Hot, Flat, and ...

Maureen McCormick tells all... by knotheadusc Pros: Maureen McCormick's life story.
Cons: Not particularly well written. Sorry about the lack of formatting... I had a fight with the editor again. I'm no longer ashamed to admit that when I was growing up, I was a fan of The Brady Bunch, a wholesome family sitcom about the ultimate perfect family. Like a lot ...

Buyology : I Shop Because It Feels Good! by jcare Pros: Scary insight into the human brain and buying. Very scary
Cons: Only goes 80% of the way. how do you know he's right? The subtext of this book is the truth and lies about why we buy. This a little on the strong side, yet Martin Lindstrom, one of the world-renowned experts on branding, does provide some interesting insights into the science of buying; and ...

My Baby & Me by Lynn Reiser and Penny Gentieu by artemis8 Pros: great photos, rhymes
Cons: none Toddlers seem to love pictures of babies. I know my son did when he was two years old. While he is four now and not so into babies as he used to be, he still generally likes books that feature babies. One of the books we read recently was called My ...
