Spare me !

Revisado: 01-26-23

A syrupy tale of two entitled, immature people who believe Brit’s owe them, I shouldn’t have bought it! Life has many SS bumps and you should not expect a free ticket ! Be thankful for the small things.

Have you met James Cook?

Revisado: 12-01-22

Good read about the discoveries of James Cook. I can really feel the fear of he and his crew while trying to get out of the Great Barrier Reef that surrounds most of Australia. It was a very good telling of his overall patience and good judgement.

Great and Informative Read

Revisado: 08-30-22

This was a rich story of migration of the Blacks in the south to the north or west. I’m an older American and came to Texas in 1949. My family didn’t have the attitudes fostered in the south but I do remember separate drinking fountains at our grocery store. I didn’t understand the reason for those fountains but I observed the unjustified hurt to people who were colored. I minored in history in college and became a teacher. I wish I had listened to this book so I could have done a better job teaching about the Great Migration. It was touching and eye opening. It was well written and well told. I highly recommend it!

Politics 👎🏽

Revisado: 05-13-22

The story was pretty good but I didn’t like the way the character Johnny hated the USA and spoke so badly about Ronald Reagan!
America love it or leave it….Johnny cut his finger half off and dodged the draft only to move to Canada. I didn’t care for that attitude, I love my country & I of Puritan ancestry too. God bless America!

The Far Pavillions

Revisado: 01-31-22

Sweeping story that will appeal to both men and women. Set in 19th century India, the story begins with the birth of a young Englishman to a beautiful English young woman who dies soon after the birth of her son and his father who dies before he knows much of his new son. His care is left to an uneducated Hindu woman & young Ash grows up being more Hindu than English. Finding who he is starts a saga of great proportions.

A Great Read. . Truly Inspiring !

Revisado: 10-30-21

I loved this novel ! There are so many ways I connected with this book ! I love history, I am a teacher, retired, but didn’t even go to college until I was 49. I related to Bennie”s efforts as a new teacher & desires to capture her student”s interest. I loved the cherished family ties and even
Bennie” s teenage experience. The story touched my heart in every way. A great gift for avid readers ! Sara

A Real Eye Opener!

Revisado: 10-18-21

The author reveals a tormented man who obviously was driven to have control in all areas due to his experiences in his early life. I was young when he took his place as President and didn’t realize he was so insecure. I enjoyed this book for all the information gained as a history lover!

What a Great Book!

Revisado: 08-21-21

I loved this book and I learned so much about Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft and the Golden Age of Journalism. I’m a retired teacher of mostly 5th grade language arts, reading and U.S. History. Although I taught about the Progressive Era and about the muckrakers and used Sinclair Lewis as a source for the expose of the meat-packing industry, I learned so very much more about era. Wonderful writing and marvelous reading experience! Sara Slamp

Very tedious !

Revisado: 05-03-21

I plodded through but found the characters obsessive. I would not recommend this book unless you like reading about maladjusted people. I was surprised that Tolstoy wrote such a book and was disappointed in the whole thing,
