The Steel Wave: A Novel of World War II

Jeff Shaara

Ballantine Books, 2008

New the story and still enjoyed the read
Am an absolute Shaara fan, first the dad and now Jeff. It is interesting to read a story that you basically know about from history class, yet you find yourself completely wrapped up in this book. Yes it is a fictional acount of a true event, but it is so well told ...

Nancy Horan

Great Summer Read
This is the best book I've read in a long time. It is definitely a "keeper". I will recommend it to everyone who enjoys a well written, interesting book. Fabulous.

All Quiet on the Western Front

Erich Maria Remarque

Ballantine Books, 1987

Should be required reading for our political representatives
I grew up playing war like every other kid and had a somewhat glamorized view of war. When we went to war in Iraq for the first time I thought it was kind of cool. Being a Jewish person who lost a great deal of their family in the Holocaust having any sympathy for any ...

Grabs you and doesn't let go until the last sentence!!!

Secrets of the Baby Whisperer: How to Calm, Connect, and Communicate with Your Baby

Tracy Hogg, Melinda Blau

Ballantine Books, 2005

FANTASTIC LIFE SAVER
This book was a HUGE help to me with my newborn. It was full of helpful hints and guidelines. Though some of Tracy Hogg's suggestions didn't work for my little darling, she still provided a good prospective and loving ways to respond. Tracy's E.A.S.Y. routine is a ...

Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child

Marc Weissbluth

Ballantine Books, 2003

Necessary advice and instruction.
Weisbluth is a little "wordy." However, if you cut through that, the advice is sound and firm...and it works. It just makes sense that as parents we must know what's best for our child. It's up to us to set the schedules and make the decisions. Following old adages ...

The Killer Angels

Michael Shaara

Ballantine Books, 1987

Leonardo Lee's review
If I would rate this book out of 5, I would definitely give it a 5 as the semi-fictional account (I enjoy a war book) was heartfelt and tragic, even if you knew what was going to happen. The Killer Angels is something that takes from fiction and non-fiction. All the ...

Swallowing Darkness (Meredith Gentry, Book 7)
Laurell K. Hamilton

Ballantine Books, 2008

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

Carol Dweck

Ballantine Books, 2007

Solid concepts plus anecdotes and research to back up
I first read about Dweck and her research in a NYT article on child development. This is the dose of reality that we all need after years of "positive thinking" mantras. Without responsibility, action and growth-orientation, we block the positive path and fail to ...

Delivered from Distraction: Getting the Most out of Life with Attention Deficit Disorder

Edward M. Md Hallowell, John J. Md Ratey

Ballantine Books, 2005

Very Helpful - Author Has Friendly Tone
This book was rather large but I found myself reading through every chapter that even slightly pertained to me. The author is ADHD and you really feel that as you are reading this book. Chapters are mostly very short so you can pick it up read and chapter or two then ...

Time Bandit: Two Brothers, the Bering Sea, and One of the World's Deadliest Jobs

Andy Hillstrand, Johnathan Hillstrand, ...

Ballantine Books, 2008

Amazing
This book is a fantastic journey. I love the use of three perspectives and the blunt nature of Jonathan's writing. After enjoying it I leant the book to a friend; she can't stop talking about it and has to force herself to put it down so that she can go to bed at ...
