Escape from

Frommer's Best Day Trips from London: 25 Great Escapes by Train, Bus or Car (Frommer's Best Day Trips from ...

Stephen Brewer, Donald Olson

Frommers, 2008

Indispensable
I just got back from England last night and took three of the day trips described in this book: Winchester, Dover and Hampton Court. Obviously these guides are somewhat subjective, so I didn't always agree with the authors' opinions on certain things, but the factual ...

About the Product: Slipcase Set 1 (Books #1-4)

Crossing Over: One Woman's Escape from Amish Life

Ruth Irene Garrett, Rick Farrant

HarperOne, 2003

Sensitive, with a good grasp . . .
of the effects of living in a rigid, legalistic, narrow society, and the horrific psychological warfare waged by those inside such a cult against one who has freed herself. Her sensitivity and analysis is very good. The book flows well and is a fast, fascinating ...

Escape from the Deep: A Legendary Submarine and Her Courageous Crew

Alex Kershaw

Da Capo Press, 2008

An inspiring story....
As the son of a career sailor who served on submarines (USS Baya, SS-318, USS Menhaden, SS-377, and USS Segundo, SS-398) from the late 40's until his retirement in 1963, some of my earliest memories are of going to work with him and eating ice cream in the galley when ...

How'd You Score That Gig?: A Guide to the Coolest Jobs-and How to Get Them

Alexandra Levit

Ballantine Books, 2008

Work may be necessary, but working does not have to equal drudgery
As the author points out, a vanishingly small number of us grew up and went to college to work in a vast, impersonal cubicle farm doing work we have no passion for and that has no more than short term utilitarian importance. We didn't set out to be faceless and ...

Read the entries people, Johnstone is DEAD!!!!

Escape from Memory

Margaret Peterson Haddix

Simon Pulse, 2005

Great book for 6th grade+
This has been one of my all-time favorite books ever since I read it last year. The plot, though confusing, has just the right amount of twists and turns to keep you interested. One thing I especially enjoyed was the fact that no one was pure good or pure evil, and ...

Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2005

Rich Dad broke the code.
I ordered this book with a skeptical outlook. The other financial instruction books I purchased for my teen lasted all of ten minutes. This book arrived, she opened it, started reading, and didn't put it down until finished. She was so excited, she called me at work ...
