Human sacrifice still goes on uncomfortably close to home - cases have been found in the U.S., Europe, and the United Kingdom. In other parts of the world, such as South America, ritual killing is almost commonplace. Human Sacrifice investigates the terrifying current spate of human sacrifices and ritual killings. Jimmy Lee Shreeve draws on police reports and interviews with the victims' families to paint a horrifying picture of ritual sacrifice at home and abroad.

It’s about debunking the spiritual side of sacrifice
Revisado: 02-04-25
Not at all what I was looking for. It’s a skeptic’s view of sra and sacrifice and totally misses the mark.

Demitra's mother died in America in the 1930s when Demitra was three years old. Her father took her home to the Greek island of Cephalonia, where she endures a lonely childhood and dreams her dead mother watches over her like the goddesses she reads about in her mythology books. When Demitra comes of age, she refuses to marry the man chosen for her. Instead, she defiantly begins an affair with a forbidden man who ignites her passion for painting the goddesses she once imagined protected her.

This story just dragged and dragged. It picked up by the end but it was tough to pay attention to and was never very captivating.

With the epic sweep of Min Jin Lee's Pachinko and Yaa Gyasi's Homegoing and the lyrical beauty of Vaddey Ratner's In the Shadow of the Banyan, The Mountains Sing tells an enveloping, multigenerational tale of the Trần family, set against the backdrop of the Việt Nam War. Trần Diệu Lan, who was born in 1920, was forced to flee her family farm with her six children during the Land Reform as the Communist government rose in the North.

So boring
Revisado: 12-30-18
This book was so boring I could not finish it. The character development was really poor. The story was I guess interesting but not really unique. Just a total waste of a credit.

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

This book is beautifully written and provides a painful and harsh view into the lives of a very strange cult-like family. What an amazing and difficult life! Very inspirational, very well written. I have been an audible listener for a decade and this is my all-time favorite listen!

No one knows exactly when it began or where it originated. A terrifying new plague is spreading like wildfire across the country, striking cities one by one: Boston, Detroit, Seattle. The doctors call it Draco Incendia Trychophyton. To everyone else it's Dragonscale, a highly contagious, deadly spore that marks its hosts with beautiful black and gold marks across their bodies - before causing them to burst into flames. Millions are infected; blazes erupt everywhere. There is no antidote. No one is safe.

Revisado: 04-23-18
Are you an American? Do you support the constitution? Are you sick of cnn and Rachel Maddow? Did you want anyone other than Hillary Clinton to win the election? If you answered yes to any of these then this book is not for you. If you are a snowflake sjw, you will probably love this book!! It’s too bad because the story could really be great. It’s too bad the entire book takes every opportunity to scold people who actually want America to have a future.

Passionate, earthy, deeply affecting, The Red Tent combines rich storytelling with a valuable contribution to modern fiction: a vibrant new perspective of female life in the age that shaped present day civilization and values.
If you like The Red Tent, try The Harlot by the Side of the Road, a recounting of some of the most startling and explicit writings from The Old Testament.

Powerful, beautifly written and narrated story!!
Revisado: 04-02-12
Would you consider the audio edition of The Red Tent to be better than the print version?
YES! The narrator and the subtle use of sound effects made this an enchanting listen....
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Red Tent?
This book was epic - so many memorable moments! Unexpected and so painfully detailed was the dream Dinah had next to her husband Shalem, waking to find that her brothers had murdered him.
Which scene was your favorite?
The birth of Dinah, and the beauty of a girl as described by her mothers
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book helped me to connect to the strength and beauty of the feminine. The book honors men as well, but it is a journey of sisterhood and the deep value of women.
Any additional comments?
this is one of the few books that have been life changing for me...
