Fantastically funny.
The scenes at the Welsh boarding school are priceless.
The characters are wonderfully drawn and the dialog luaghing-out-loud funny.

Excellent reference for elementary aged. Particularly helpful for homeschoolers using Classical Conversations.

Priceless Wodehouse. Not the usual cast of characters (Jeeves et al, the Blandings crowd, Mulliner), but a whole new batch, featuring J Wellington Gedge. Marvelous prose, as always.

Wodehouse is masterful as always and this reading, by Ian Carmichael, is also fabulous. The print version of this audio book is Jeeves in the Offing.
Unabridged, naturally, because you wouldn't want to miss a single word. 4 hour 49 minutes -- perfect for a long car ride.

Well-written and interesting, but not on a par with his masterpiece trilogy of Irish history.

Very good, straight-forward advice on maximizing one's options. Emphasis on increasing "assets" such as skills, and education. Well written, clear and engaging.

Like all the DK books, this is gorgeous. Beautiful full color paintings and photos. One or two pages on each monarch including brief bio and events of the reign, plus two pages and a family tree for each ruling "house."

Filled with anecdotes and real-life stories of late-talking children, this book is helpful to parents faced with this situation. Also lots of good suggestions for working with professionals and school systems.

This book is a fraud. It purports to be the true story of a holocaust survivor. In fact, the author, who isn't even Jewish, didn't do any of the things she relates in the bok. She didn't live with a pack of wolves, didn't cross Europe in a 1900 mile trek in search of her parents, didn't kill a German soldier in self-defense. She has repeated her lies again and again. Now she has finally admitted that the whole thing was a fantasy.
Why not just write it as fiction from the start? Maybe because it wouldn't have been a best-seller, wouldn't have been made into a movie.

The parts about the saint were the most interesting. I did enjoy the stories of his grandparents' and parents' early years in America.

Like all the Jeeves books, this is a riot. The writing is incomparable.

Last of Machen's Irish trilogy, this novel's background is the decade leading up to the Irish Civil. Excellent, as are the other two in the series. The novels can be read independently, as they cover widely different periods.

Novel about the Irish potato famine. Middle in a trilogy of IRish history. Excellent book. The first in the series, Seek the Fair Hills, is one of the best books I have read.

"In my humble and pious opinion as a faithful Roman Catholic theologian, the claimed private revelations in the form of the messages to Christina Gallagher of Achill, Ireland (www.christinagallagher.org) are not true private revelations from Heaven. A list of reasons and examples follows.
