Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.

Entertaining and realistic. . .
Revisado: 01-04-19
John Grisham is always highly entertaining, whether he is describing the best southern supper straight from "The Last Juror's" garden or a child's sassy encounter with a less intelligent adult. He also backs up most of his stories with some pretty solid research and he doesn't fail here. The current state of the U.S. higher education system where money magnets are allowed to start less that stellar "colleges", receive cash from loans taken out by unsuspecting students and then hand out worthless diplomas is laid out in horrifying and disheartening detail. But the real shocker is that these businessmen can then set up companies where the loan payments are also collected - basically stealing from students twice. It is all laid out in sordid detail by a group of college students who try to keep a friend from committing suicide after he figures out how hopeless his future is. This is both a good read and an educational exposition for those of us affected by long-term student debt.

An 11-year-old boy's violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.

My 21-yeat-old daughter and I listened to this horror/thriller on a trip to Florida this past summer. I am a 61-year-old avid Stephen King fan, my daughter a bit less of one. But we both had our ears glued to the audio on the way there and back. In between, we couldn't wait to get back to it to discover what was going to happen next! Mr. King's books can get long but his pacing is always great. The narrator is very good, and keeps the voices different enough so the listerner can keep up with which character is speaking. But the real treat for two mystery buffs was trying to predict how King was going to explain this one. It became quite a topic of dinner conversations for us. (If you have heard or read the Mr. Mercedes series, you may have an idea. It takes a character from those stories to help solve the mystery.) The ending was well worth the wait and satisfied both the veteran and the newbie Stephen King reader. This one will remind you why he is still the best at getting you by "the short hairs."

In The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, the The Four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.

A map to life changing behavior!
Revisado: 01-04-19
I first read this book years ago and it changed my life and how I looked at my interactions with others. I refer back to it often. Peter Coyote's narration is powerful yet calming. You have to love that man's voice. This book will help you meet the world in a way that prevents it from taking your peace away. Invaluable. A real self-help book that stands out from the rest.

With profound empathy and insight, Hermione Lee brilliantly interweaves Wharton's life with the evolution of her writing, the full scope of which shows her to be far more daring than her stereotype as lapidarian chronicler of the Gilded Age. In its revelation of both the woman and the writer, Edith Wharton is a landmark biography.

wonderfully indepth and well-rounded perspective of a woman we tend to think of as single faceted. Her life was much more than I had ever imagined it to be. I will go back and read her works with.a much deeper appreciation of the real woman behind the words.
