I really enjoyed this book, but I challenge Stephenie Meyer to create a female protagonist who isn't self-sacrificial and totally dependent on a man for happiness. I think the woman may have issues.

There are days that you will never forget, such as 9/11. The day that President Reagan was shot is one of those. The picture on the cover of the book speaks a 1,000 words. If it were not for the quick action of Secret Service Agent Jerry Parr our nations history and that of the world would be different. If President Reagan had died we might still have the Berlin Wall. This book is a historical document that reads like a best selling novel of the highest caliber. Wilber has done his research well and gives a blow by blow account of that fateful day. There are so many heroes that it is hard to focus on just one. The book deals mainly with the medical trauma team that saves the Presidents life. Little details come to light that shed even more evidence on the calm and thoughtful actions of the medical team. One point that seems minor yet speaks columned is that Dr. Aaron calmly decided to treat Reagan like any other patient and thus he had his usual team of surgeons scrub in, that included Dr. Adelberg, an intern. What's important is that a much more experienced doctor offered to scrub in, but Dr. Aaron turns him down because they have never worked an OR together. Dr. Aaron wants the team he knows and trusts. So, an intern is later holding the beating heart of the most powerful man in the world. Great drama, and true. The medical side of this thriller will keep you reading. Once I started I couldn't stop. History was made and this account of several hours is fantastic. Not everyone did well on that day and Wilber doesn't pull any punches. Alexander Haig is treated fairly in this book which means that we see his egotistical flaws completely. Assistant press secretaries also fared poorly without the leadership of their boss, Jim Brady, who was fighting for his own life after being shot in the head. So Wilber gives us the good, the bad and the ugly. One person who doesn't get enough attention, because that wasn't the purpose of this book is Secret Service Agent Timothy McCarthy. I remember the video on television showing his reactions. He immediately upon hearingnthe gunshots turned toward the shooter and in front of the President and puffed himself up to be the biggest possible target. Fornhis efforts he was shot in the chest. His actions as much as anyone's saved the life of the president and displayed the training and dedication of Secrect Service Agents to the full. I can't recommend this book highly enough. I think it should be a must read for high school students. Enjoy!

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. An excruciating story of the providence of God and the redemption of men.

There's a difference between finding a book truly entertaining and actually thinking you grew as a person as a result of the read. This book is soley entertaining. A thriller told from the perspective of an award-winning photojournalist who snaps after her sister is taken by a serial kidnapper and then finds herself working with the New Orleans police to find a killer before he murders and paints portraits of the dead women. Super-quick read. Addicting, really. If you like the whole psycho-thriller thing.
This book is about a young girl named Parvana who lives with her family in Afghanistan. At that time Afghanistan was controlled by the Taliban. They forbid girls from going outside and going to school. One day they were all at home and the Taliban came barging in their one room house and took their father away. They were all in shock. Parvana and her mother went to the prison to try to get him back but they beat them. To survive Parvana shaves her head and dresses like a boy so she can go out in the town and work. Surprisingly enough it works. Parvana and her older sister Nooria take a lot of responsibility. I thought that this was a very good book.
So far...addicting!!!

Looks a bit steamy, also billed for "fans of Philippa Gregory." I'll be the judge of that. I think this novel tried to do too much in too little space - while we are drawn in to the young Southern girl who marries a British peer, ends up trapped in an unfaithful relationship and then finds true love with another man in a genteel society affair... the story too quickly gives way to her daughter, who falls in love with a most inappropriate young man (in many ways) and from there, I just lost interest. Dedicated romance fans might love it for the dramatic over-the-top plot, but the setting skips too quickly from the US to London to the countryside to Egypt and back again for it to have any appeal to fans of those environs. This is that rare book that should have been sent back, chopped into 2 or more books, and rethought entirely.

The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. The Bible has changed my life and continues to do so. Not only does it act as a mirror to show what is in our hearts, but it also changes what we see, conforming us into the image of Christ. Even if you aren’t a Christian, read this book, it in many ways is the basis for all Western thought, was written over the period of ~1500 years, by ~40 authors in 3 languages. Yet it paints a coherent picture of God, His actions in history and plans for the future. A note on this edition: I don’t recommend it; it started to fall apart by the second time I read through it. I don’t think it is broken up very well. There are plenty of other one year Bibles that I think would be better than this one.
This book is an amazing story. You haven't been into true fantasy kingdom till you have been here.

You just can't go wrong with a Lehane novel! although it finally is the end of the series, at least he ended like he began it, by focusing on the characters and not just on the brutality that they get involved in. READ IT!
