At 30 years old Bryan Bishop’s life was right on track: as the sidekick on The Adam Carolla Show, his career was taking off and, newly engaged, his personal life was soaring to new heights. Then he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Suddenly Bryan’s promising future was looking at a troubling schedule of radiation and chemotherapy. But having found refuge in comedy, "Bald Bryan" recounts his alternately heartbreaking and hysterical experience of cancer treatment and recovery.

Great - even for those who don't know Adam Corolla
Revisado: 05-03-14
A great read. Let me begin by saying I had to Google Adam Carolla. I generally don't read books about people with terrible diseases but happened to listen to an excerpt and liked what I heard. So, even though I had no idea about this author's work in the entertainment industry, I truly loved this book. It doesn't sugar coat a battle with cancer but it is a great story about the power of family, related and not, in difficult times. It is honest, well written, well read and, dare I say, a fun read? So, I can only imagine how fans would enjoy it! And after reading the book, I am now both a Bryan Bishop and Adam Carolla fan. So, maybe now I should listen to the show?

But now Lillian herself is dead. Found among the bleeding hearts and lilacs of Clara Morrow's garden in Three Pines, shattering the celebrations of Clara's solo show at the famed Musée in Montreal. Chief Inspector Gamache, the head of homicide at the Sûreté du Québec, is called to the tiny Quebec village and there he finds the art world gathered, and with it a world of shading and nuance, a world of shadow and light. Where nothing is as it seems. Behind every smile there lurks a sneer. Inside every sweet relationship there hides a broken heart.

Delightful Book
Revisado: 12-20-08
I never watched the television series but have found the "Murder She Wrote" book series, as a whole, a joy to read. If you get a bit tired of blood and gore but appreciate a good mystery, this is the series for you. "A Slaying In Savannah" continues to be an excellent part of the series with an enjoyable cast of characters, an interesting location and good plot. I would have rated the book higher but the narration did not live up to the quality of the book. Still, this is an ideal book to take on travel.

The Secret Life of Bees provides insight into prejudice and how we can overcome it. It is an engaging as well as entertaining. An excellent book to read with your older children and discuss. I am so glad I had an opportunity to read this book. I hope the author writes many, many more.

Pi Patel has been raised in a zoo in India. When his father decides to move the family to Canada and sell the animals to American zoos, everyone boards a Japanese cargo ship. The ship sinks, and 16-year-old Pi finds himself alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra with a broken leg, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon it's just Pi, the tiger, and the vast Pacific Ocean - for 227 days. Pi's fear, knowledge, and cunning keep him alive until they reach the coast of Mexico, where the tiger disappears into the jungle.

Not for the Faint of Heart
Revisado: 12-22-04
I picked up this book to be enlightened. The first part was a wonderful coming of age story. However, after Pi left India, I found myself engaged in a battle of endurance. Unlike Angela's Ashes, another disturbing novel, the second half of "The Life of Pi" lacked literary merit or insight into the human condition. It seemed to be an attempt to shock readers enough to be considered "artistic" and above criticism using an "Emperor's New Clothes" approach. An idealist,I was certain that the story would improve. I forced myself to finish this disturbing, graphically violent tale. Any character I developed as a result of reading this book was clearly due only to my exercising self discipline not from any insights I received from the author. I think it would have been better to have excercised good judgment and stopped reading. Better yet, I would suggest that potential readers learn from my dreadful experience and pass on this book entirely. Then something good would have come from my ordeal. There are so many good books out there. This is NOT one of them.
