This is the first book I've read by Clark Howard and it was so good. I. Hold the put it down. I really like how he went into the character's lives since childhood. It helped to see how these kids grew up to be so messed up. And he wrote beautifully about the Alday family and their live and closeness. Very exciting and stirring!

This was an interesting and honest book and i enjoyed learning more about Patty Duke's personal life. I found her personality and attitude very typical of "Hollywood" but still a good read if you want to know more about her, especially how she got into show business and her childhood.

This was a very well written, very touching book. It made me cry more than I have with a book in a long time.

Well written account of "Genie", including what little is known of her life after the experiments on her. Russ Rymer researched her parents life as well and i found that very interesting although not enough to satisfy my desire to know more about this poor woman.

I truly enjoyed this book about Ron Goldman written by his family. I never knew much about Ron because of course, the media mostly ignored him and concentrated on the other victim, and on the killer. This book is heartbreaking but really brings you close to this family who lost so much. The family shares Ron's life with very touching, loving and truthful words. The only thing I didn't like was reading about the trial and that's because it was such a joke that it is sickening to read it again after having heard it all when it was happening in the mid-90's.

This book like all of Ann Rule's books was good. However, it was not one of my favorites. It seemed a little repetitive in some parts. The end was disappointing too but (without giving it away) hopefully that might change someday.

I really enjoyed reading about Janette Oke's family and her growing up years. This book really goes into the genealogy of her family, so if you're into that, you will really love reading it. Regardless, the book is well-written and kept me interested throughout. Laurel Oke Logan shares some very touching and even tragicly sad moments in their families' lives. If you've read Janette Oke's books for years, you should read this book.

This is a very good, well written and touching book. It was very eye-opening for me as far as the difficulties of illegal immigrant kids living in the US. It made me feel angry, sad, proud, made me laugh and cry.

Really good book. I was touched by the author's honesty about hiding from her mother to avoid the her dangerous schizophrenia. Very truthful and good. The rooms of her memory palace were a little distracting and didn't make a lot of sense but the story of her and her mother was so well written and emotional.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Author Jess Carr did some great research on the people involved in this tragedy as well as the Appalachian Trail. He describes the trail and gives really good insight to the world of hikers who take it on each year. I couldn't wait to get back to the book every time i had to put it down. Incredible true story.

This book really touched my heart. Carmina is a strong, courageous woman to share her story of such unbelievable horror. I had a hard time putting the book down. I enjoyed the way the book went back and forth from the past to the present but in a flowing narrative, not confusing the reader. Although it was painful to read about Carmina's suffering and the agony she went through, I could sense the strength and hope in her writing. I highly recommend this book but you will cry for sure.

I really loved this book when I first started reading it. I couldn't wait to get back to it and read more about this southern farming family during the Korean war. It is written The story is told through a 7 year old boy's persepctive and it is funny, sweet, frightening, charming and sad. After a few chapters though it got really, really violent and graphic and I became a little repelled by it. I myself don't care for violence, blood, gore or any of that stuff but it may not bother most people. I don't normally read Grisham for that reason but since this book is a totally different type than his usual stories, I decided to try it. And I truly did enjoy it, kept my attention to the end.
