"If you like Harleys--you will find this book quite interesting. Some uses are so out far out there you wonder where did they get that idea. Some are so beautiful, i especially liked the art that was done on some of the old Harleys and that were used for art pieces. Lots of fun ideas in these pages."

"This has got to be one of the best reads for the summer. I loved every word. I loved the era. I hope this author will give us more and more and more. I almost can't wait, i wanna be the first in line for the next book & i don't even know what it will be about!! Thats how good this book is. By the end i was sobbing, to find out why you will have to read the book but the ending is so very very unique and somehow just suits this novel. To think i almost passed this up, something guided my hand to it in the store and i put it down twice and then went back--boy am i glad i did."

"Excellent book. Could not put it down once i started--although i wanted to in a a few places, it was graphic. This was well written but as a warning really not for the faint of heart. The whole time span in this mans life seemed to revole around liquor when he made these decissions. Yes i feel bad for the way he was placed and what he had to go thru, it was quite a bit over the top for punishment--but we as Americans know you break the law in another country and you are punished by their law. He knew this and still made the decissions to work for who he did and finish his "job" I have read this book and still do not understand his thinking. We are so very lucky to live in America, as even by this crime, the punishment would not of been as Mr. Fellows suffered."

"50 true Tales of Terror. These are stories of terrifying events that have facinated men from time immemorial; and in our own day they are as compulsive in their attraction as ever. As we are in the present time there is a story of an English officer {that caused near mass hysteria when reported by Orson Welles}, of surviving death by hanging during the Second World War. The telling of coffins raining like bombs. These are truely scary and thrilling stories. This is a big book chocked full of true terror."


The $64 Tomato : How One Man Nearly Lost his Sanity, Spent a Fortune, and Endured an Existential Crisis in the Quest for the Perfect Garden
Review Date: 3/13/2013


"Really can you even imagine spending this much to have a tomato? I can't. This was an enjoyable read about a man obsessed with producing the perfect tomato. Now stop and think about this..unless you are willing to spend gobs of money it will not be possible to grow becasue just as Mr Alexander points out...there are so many things to fight and crisis after crisis to produce this round, juicy red morsel of heaven and rich earth. Some people just become obsessed is all i can say. This was a fun read and made me laugh in several places. Sliced carefully, divided into maybe 6 slices from a large tomato... even a huge juicy tomato from the best southern road side stand will never cost you over a few cents a slice...ever. $64.00 makes me wanna really taste this tomato. :)"

"I found this book PERFECT for my cocker. There were no bad behavior games involved, just fun little things to do with your dog to make them smile, and they really will. Mine does. Simple games like putting your hand over their paw, then they move their paw over your hand, and back and forth. Easy games for them to learn. Unless you are so strict with your animal that you do not enjoy the dog, this book has alot of cute games. The book is like new so would make a perfect gift for someone with a new member to the family. Java, my cocker will now come and ask to play."

"I hate reading a book review that only quotes what is on the back of the book, that's not a review. So i'll tell you snippets of what was so thrilling about this book. First of all i LOVE Deborah Raney, so this was not a dissappointing read. It was suspensefull and had alot going on. It dealt with inter racial issues. I loved the smooth trail of words that were page turning. Ms Raney always gives an ending that is worthy of her novel but yet keeps one subject unanswered until the end so that you still have something to look forward to up until then, like a perfect dessert, it was a perfect read."

"The novel was so well written i had the hardest time finding a place to stop. It was absolutely mesmorizing with word and story. I truely kept having to remind myself this is "part fiction". The unique cover captured my attention first and then from the first page it keep my husband eating cold cuts and preparing his own meals for two days. I loved this book and i want to reread it, to make sure i didn't miss anything good. I still want to believe everything i read as it was so well presented, and what fun it would be to believe. I doubt this author can write anything that can top this, but i would be more than willing to read what ever he has written to see."

"My book has a much nicer & different cover, but the story is the same. I read this and i am not Y.A., but much older and i really did enjoy it. I have read one other in the series and i find that these really stand alone much better than a series. It was an exciting read, rather on the edge of your seat. Going back in time, mystery, suspense, a bit of sci fi and run for your life. Good read."

"Second in the series, don't have to read both to enjoy either. personally, I liked this book better than the first. It was a bit "brave" with some of the short wording, but like some of the other reviewers said, you will still like the book, and learn a few new words. This is a good series, lots of action and suspense. Other than a few words i didn't recognize, it was very well written. I will read the next in the series for sure."

"One of Ted Deckers better thrillers. From page one when agent Clark is tracking serial killers to the end, it was hard to find a page to stop to do my work in the house. All of Mr Deckers books are fun reads and this was no exception."

"Gonna make this plain & simple--This is a really good book. It is the story of the hook up & friendship of Brooks & Dunn. Funny funny funny. This is a well written book and these guys are crazy!! There is even a C.D. unopened in the back of the book if someone would want it, i have it already. This is a light hearted read and very uplifting-you will come thru this read with a big ole smile on your face and wanting to turn the station in the truck to country!! Love the book."

"By the second page I almost said "I don't think I can read this". It was just "waaaay" to scary for me. But as it always is with me I just kept going, because I am curious to see how bad it could possibly be next page and before I knew it I couldn't put this book down. It was scary---probably one of the scarest books i've read--much more so than King and Sraub and the rest of those "Boo in the dark authors." If you like to be scared--you will love this one."

"If you are a Diana lover or not this book will tell you things that will almost blow you away. This is the true story of After Diana, so it is not about her but rather the royal family. It was so intimate and i found myself turning pages as fast as possible to see what was next in store for me. This family is very much disfunctional and i was shocked at the stuff that they did and got away with. The cost of their living and the commonwealth supporting Charles mistress and the way they play behind the publics back to do as they please. They hire public specialists to write things that will endear them to Camilla and to wean her into the family although the Queen does not like her, how the boys were unsupervised after Diana passed, free to drink at the age of 16, speed and party with pot smoking as they liked. Lots and lots of drinking and parting. You will learn that having a mistress is a tradition and nevr been broken and Prince Phillip the Queens husband, although he keeps a low profile is a nasty ass of a man. How millions was spent on their wardrobes and homes, how Camilla was given Diana jewerly shortly after Diana's death, before she even married Charles and wore it in public without the boys knowing, how she moved in with charles and spent thousands of dollars on redecorating just the bedroom before they were married, and Diana's side of the family was snubbed by the royals and the boys. I was just dumbfounded at the information in this book. I do feel sorry for Kate now, i wonder if she really has a clue what is in store for her. Very good read."
