The Other Queen: A Novel
Philippa Gregory
Touchstone, 2008
Disappointing
This book was a disappointment. I'm glad that I checked it out of the library instead of buying it. It lacked the quality of "The Other Boleyn Girl" and "The Boleyn Inheritance". It's surprising because Mary Stuart was every bit as interesting as Anne Boleyn and of ...

Linda Anne Silvestri
Saunders, 2007
Comprehensive Review
Although I am only halfway through the text, I have found it covers a multitude of topics and is very easy to use. I especially enjoy the accompanying CD which provides questions similar to the ones I experienced in nursing school. As an added benefit, there are a ...

Out Stealing Horses: A Novel
Per Petterson
Picador, 2008
Hauntingly simplistic yet powerfully empathetic.
This being my first Per Petterson novel I did have my reservations, but I am delighted to say that all the praise this author receives is well earned. I must also add that the names of some of the authors this book beat in the IMPAC is quite impressive. And yet, when ...

Highly recommend this book
I was late signing up with the PHR exam and I didn't have a lot of study time by the time I received this book, like a month. I used this book as my only source of information (I did graduate with my Bachelors and have worked in Staffing/HR for 9 years) and passed on ...

Anne Rice
Ballantine Books, 1993
Good prices on a good set
Overall you can see and judge for yourself which of the stories work and which don't. In Queen of the Damned (which was a so-so movie by the way), the author moved away from the first person point-of-view (POV) which added a richness to the story to the omniscient ...
