Historia
Barbara Demick's Nothing to Envy follows the lives of six North Koreans over fifteen years - a chaotic period that saw the death of Kim Il-sung and the unchallenged rise to power of his son, Kim Jong-il, and the devastation of a far-ranging famine that killed one-fifth of the population. Taking us into a landscape never before seen, Demick brings to life what it means to be an average Korean citizen, living under the most repressive totalitarian regime today.

Rivating and Enjoyable
Revisado: 08-21-10
The characters become real family members as you read this book. I was afraid the subject would be too graphic but the author balances personal stories with realistic accounts. It really does give you a personal account of what life must be like in North Korea. I recommend it to anyone who wants to expand their world view.

Lots of intermingling plots that include all the main characters in this story. Plus a moral lesson on how to treat people. A must read before Winterfair!

Herriot continues the rich and rewarding day-to-day life of a small-town veterinarian, and we journey with him across the dales, meeting a whole new cast of unforgettable characters - humans, dogs, horses, lambs, parakeets - all of them drawn with the same infinite fascination, affection and insight that made James Herriot one of the most beloved authors of our time. And all the stories are warmly, evocatively told by the world-renowned "voice" of Dr. Herriot: Christopher Timothy.

Historia
Jane Whitefield is a Native American guide who leads solitary outcasts through hostile territory to escape the vengeance of their enemies. But the shaded forest paths her Seneca ancestors might have followed on such missions have all been converted to superhighways, and now the safest way stations are crowded urban buildings that offer the camouflage of anonymity. Still, the supply of runaways - and the need for a woman who will take great risks to save them - have never been greater.

Heartening Story about Helping People
Revisado: 02-26-10
I enjoyed the story of someone out there who could help you out of a life threatening situation. Who even had someone to watch her back. But with that much set-up and organization then having an ending with a brutal murder, turned me off.

The Lost Prince seems like a natural progression after Little Lord Fauntelory for children, family, or teenage reading. During the first of part of the Lost Prince, you think you have it all figured out but then . . .what's real is not and what's not is real.

I really enjoyed the fact that the author was the narrator with a natural accent for the family doctor. The characters are addictive,lovable,and some downright scary. I loved this book as an Irish-American living in Arkansas. USA

Any Castaway should have this book with him
Revisado: 01-04-10
Having seen the Disney movie, I thought I knew what to expect in this book. There was three times more information which yet again shows: movies do not live up to the book. Mechanical engineers should love this book because of the detail in describing how they build what they need. Hunters should love it because of all the different kinds of animals they find on the island. Personally, being female, I'm just glad somebody found the girl and she wasn't left alone forever.

I Felt Like a Part of Their Lives & Struggles
Revisado: 01-04-10
I really enjoyed "The Time of My Life" already being a Patrick Swayze fan. Listening to how he developed the characters in the movies I love was a lot of fun. I did not realize however, his inner struggles with "voices" he calls them constantly belittling every accomplishment he acheived. How he overcame obstacles is encouraging and a life lesson to anyone who has had to give up one dream for another.
