The Front
by Patricia Cornwell
Amazon Price: $13.84
Customer Reviews:
» This book was a waste of my time. I bet Patricia Cornwell didn't even write it. The characters weren't even redeeming. I didn't care about them at all. What a disappointment, but then I shouldn't expe...

» I hesitated to read this book as her recent novels were so boring, and I was right. I really couldn't get past the first few chapters. Characters are uninteresting, plot(?) is boring, and I couln't fi...

» I have read many of Patricia Cornwell's books but I could not make
it through this one even if it is a short novel. It just did not hold my attention as with other books of hers. Many of the oth...

» Looking forward to reading this - purchased several Cornwell books and reading them in order of date published. Excellent author!

WOULDN'T REGARD THIS AS ONE OF CORNWELL'S BETTER EFFORTS
IT'S A READ BUT NOTHING SPECTACULAR.

Still Wifey Material (Wifey) (Wifey)
by Kiki Swinson
Amazon Price: $10.20
Customer Reviews:
» Are by the time you get to the 3rd and 4th installments, some charater development is going to either to lost, forced or off. That's what happened with the character of Nikki.

SPOILER...

» All I'm going to say is "READ IT" you won't be disappointed...I actually wouldn't mind if she did a part 5, 6 and 7!

» Ms. Swinson has done it again with the fourth installment. At first i was a little skeptical, because i felt like what else could she write about. but, boy was i surprised. she had me on the edge of m...

Customer Reviews:
» I.T.A.L.I.A. = In This Area Law Is Absent

I'm italian.. I can tell you that we are full of laws, but they are meaningless, because against certain strong powers there is no defence in Ita...

» Interesting overview of how integrated the mob is in Italian society. We hear all the time about the Sicilians - this book is strictly about Italian crime syndicates. Soon to be released as a movie....

» In America, we've almost romanticized the gangster lifestyle with depictions like those in the Godfather movies, Goodfellas, and the Sopranos. The diminished public presence of the American mafia has...

» I picked this up expecting an interesting and in-depth look at the author's infiltration of the Mafia in Sicily. I didn't make it far enough to see if it actually happened. This book failed the 50 pag...

» A full-throttle look at Cammora crime from the nitty gritty ground level, "Gomorrah" is a look behind the curtain that suffers from an author with too intimate an approach to his subject. For a Neopol...

» As a devout Christian, I love and revere the Word of God.

This dramatization of the New Testament, though loaded with star power (not all of whom are necessarily Christian), generally st...

» I kinda agree with a few other reviews of this product. i hate to give only 4 stars to a positive learning experience of GODS WORD. Overall it is a very good production. My only complaints are these. ...

» With all the cast of actors, music, and sound effects I was expecting to be blown away. Instead, I am finding that the choice of actors to play certain parts just does not seem to be a good match. W...

» As a conservative Christian layman, I have found this breathes new life into the Scriptures. I was looking for the New Testament on CD and found this dramatic reading of the NKJV. What can I say? Just...

» The Word of Promise is fun to listen to because of the multimedia production which includes numerous voices and sound effects. I am surprised that I haven't seen any media advertisement on this proje...

» By far one of the best plays I've read in a long time, maybe even since my love affair with 'Angels in America.' Bitingly funny and horribly tragic, I've yet to find one disappointed fellow reader of ...

» I had the opportunity to actually see this play in Chicago. What a fantastic play. Well written, well acted and will be a classic. It has received something like 7 Toni awards on Broadway this year. A...

» What a disappointing play this was. For all the passion and screaming, other than the father who dies in the first scene, you will not care at all about any of the characters in this play.

Amazon Price: $10.19
Customer Reviews:
» It's a touching story and the illustration is beautiful. I'm glad I found this book on Amazon. But for now, I think I enjoy the book more than my 2 year old. May be in a couple years he can start to ...

» There is something absolutely timeless about this story--that is probably where the "traditional folktale" bit comes in. I'm not sure just how old the story itself is but I can see why it is still lov...

» I love this book and so do my kids. I'm sure my grandkids will too. I was surprised at what excellent condition it was for a used book. Even the cover looked really good. Thanks much!
