If you prefer to journey off the beaten path, this is the book for you. Beyond the well-drawn characters and engrossing plot, the author draws you into the land so strongly that you can feel the weave of the ancient hills and valleys that knit northern Maine's most remote communities.

I picked up this book and could not put it down. Amy's story, and the parallel and intermingling stories, were funny and poignant, but it was the subflooring of Maine's rural culture that lent this book its solid foundation and its human appeal. Read it if you want a rare and special look into real lives, defined by real communities, that still exist today but are rapidly and sadly evaporating.

Very highly recommended.

I read this book in short bursts so that I could savor the characters. What fun. To really get the most from this book, I recommend reading The Funeral Makers first.

For the unabridged flavor of northern Maine, Cathie Pelletier delivers. I've read three of her books so far, and they've all been good. For a good story, I recommend them strongly.

This is the second book I've read by Cathie Pelletier and the story keeps getting better. The Funeral Maker being the first of the trilogy, I can't wait to read the third. These caracters just won't quit. What a great read when you just want to relax and have a good laugh. I will definitely read every book by this author and I dare say if you read one, you're hooked. Keep them coming.

What a way to spend the evening, sitting in a comfy chair with this book. It was especially good since I'd also read The Funeral Makers. I'm not going to stop until I've read all of Cathie Pelletier's books--it was a New Year's resolution.

While I have read extensively about World War II, my knowledge of World War I was limited. Now I have come to realize the immensity and horror of that great conflict. It is apparent Mr. Little has researched this conflict extensively, and has skillfully woven that research into an interesting and poignant story. His descriptions of the bloody trench warfare and the effects of artillery and the terrible destruction of human life are graphic and chilling. I will definitely recommend this book to my friends who are history buffs, and to the history teachers at the high school where I work.

One Step From Glory is a wonderful novel that tells a great story about an important time in our nation's history. The author presents a well-researched portrait of the people and events of 'The Great War'. Mr. Little writes almost as if he has first-hand experiences or perhaps those of a close friend or family member as he describes the events of war and emotions of the participants. I heartily recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys the interactions between history and its human participants.

Very interesting and informative. Brings WWI to life. You meet real people and experience real wartime conditions. Difficult to put the book down.

"ONE STEP FROM GLORY" IS AN UNIQUE PRESENTATION OF A WAR NOT POPULAR WITH MODERN HISTORICAL WRITERS. MR LITTLE HAS PROVIDED AN EXCELLENT ACCOUNT OF US INVOLMENT IN WWI WHILE ALLOWING US TO LIVE THE DRAMA OF WAR THROUGH THE LIVES OF REAL ORDINARY MEN. WE SEE THE JOBS OF THESE YOUNG MEN IN THE ARTILLERY, INFANTRY AND OUR NEW AIR FORCE AS EACH GROUP LEARNS WHAT IS REQUIRED TO FREE EUROPE FROM THE GRASP OF THE HUN.

"One Step From Glory" is a very good read with great attention paid to descriptive historic detail. The life of a novice soldier in World War I is fully portrayed. You'll have a meaningful picture of this pivotal war in U.S. history.

i was pleasantly surprised when i received the book...it was brand new... well taken care of...thanks for the good prompt service!

Great cookbook, very easy to folow the recipes. The things I have made all have been just great! I would recommed this cook book to anyone who enjoys good food.

A friend of mine got this for me for Christmas a few years ago, and I love it! In fact I've used it so much mine is completely falling apart. Every recipe I have tried is fantastic. My friend had it as well and went through before giving it to me and wrote comments on her favorite recipes which I thought was such a neat idea. You will not be disappointed with this cookbook! In fact I may have to make something from it for dinner tonight...

Wow, I can't believe there are only two reviews on this excellent cookbook. While I have to say that this cookbook is not for the beginner, it is quite useful for the intermediate and above cook.If you are planning a party for a small gathering, large gathering, or a wedding for 250 people( I'm a partime caterer and yes I do all the prep, cooking , presentation by myself), This cookbook is indispensable! I am constantly barraged by requests for the recipes for the items I served using this cookbook. Buy this book, read it cover to cover and you will have a indispensable source for your next party!

The Mac and Cheese recipe is a huge hit with everyone that has partaken. Great recipes for dinner parties, everyone from people with discriminating tastes to the average Joe will enjoy the meal. I'm just sad I don't entertain more and find an excuse to use the book more often! Maybe that should be my New Year's Resolution....

This book is great! I think that Anne (NOT MORROW) Lindbergh's books are way too out-of-print and that Amazon (hint, hint)should start getting more copies. It's about a group of families who can't leave the street where they live. They don't age and have been traveling since 1939. They are invisible to ordinary people. A boy 'sees'one of them and is invited to stay in Pineapple Place. But the founder of Pineapple Place, Mr. Sweeney, puts his foot down...

This book was first read to me by my fourth grade teacher and I instantly fell in love with it...I have read this book several times and needless to say I love it more and more everytime I read it... I think it is a great book that helps kids cope with issues that have become so common in our world today. I will graduate from college next year to become a teacher and will read this book to my students and hope that they will enjoy it just as much as I did when my teacher read it to me.

The book is about a boy who moves from Vermont because his parents have divorced. In his new town he doesn't have any friends, until he sees a street that begins on P Street that is invisible to almost everyone but him. The people who live on this street are very nice. At the beginning the book was a little boring, but when you got to the middle it started getting exciting and I could not put it down. Towards the end, the book was exciting and a little sad. The ending was happy and sad at the same time, depending upon who you are thinking about. My favorite part of the book was when there was a party in Pineapple Place and August gave strange gifts to each person living in Pineapple Place.

I received this book from an uncle at my Bat Mitzvah in 1983. I couldn't understand why he gave it to me. Then I read it and understood. This book is fabulous. When I became a teacher, this book was always the first "read-aloud" book of the year. No matter how old they were, they could never get enough of it! I even had kids writing stories of their own based on this book, taking the characters to new places! It is one of the best books about friendship that I have ever read.

This is one of Anne Spencer Lindbergh's most exciting novels. For any kid who has ever crawled to the back of a coat closet, hoping in vain that a portal to Narnia would suddenly appear, this is the novel that will get you out of the house and into the streets of your neighborhood, keeping up your quest. The idea (a recurring one in Lindbergh's excellent and hilarious stories) that August Brown, a not-so-perfect child living a not-so-perfect life, can stumble upon magic in the middle of all the unrelieved boredom of modern life is incredibly appealing. That the people who live in Pineapple Place are only visible to August Brown does not make them any less real and the knowledge that even those who live magical lives have troubles which an unmagical friend can help to solve is an incredible lesson. The writers Edward Eager and C.S. Lewis would be proud of their legacy continued in such a fun, contemporary context. Visit Pineapple Place today!

Portrait of an Artist is just that - a portrait of a powerful, unique artist. Refreshingly, for those of us who have an interest in art and some knowledge but are not familiar with technicalities, the book is very direct and honest. One comes away with the feeling they have met and experienced a fascinating woman - one who is not always pleasant and kind, but one who is always open and honest. Her art is used as a lens into her deepest feelings, although the only representations of her art are in photographs where she is posing in front of one of her paintings. Her devotion to her art was inspiring, although it seemed to overwhelm everything and everyone that surrounded her. I walk away from this book very glad to have met and experienced Georgia O'Keeffe, but also glad to have experienced her from a distance and not had to endure her intensity personally. This is a great compliment for a fascinating book.

For so many years to me, Georgia O'Keeffe was just a well-known woman artist who painted flowers. Thanks to this book I came away feeling that I got to truly know and admire this artist and now I can look at her pictures differently with a deeper understanding and appreciation for them. Thanks to this book I think I have learned to look at the beauty in nature in a different way and feel that this book has taught me much about people and truly opened my eyes in many ways to the world around me and made me curious about different areas of our wonderful country. Very enlightening in many ways and definitely worth reading.

There are parts of New Mexico that, if you know of the woman, just scream This is Georgia O'Keeffe Country. This honest and admiring biography lays out the story of this incredible woman who lived to age 99. That's a long, long, long life. Her life found its trajectory when, in 1916, a friend sent some of her drawings to renowned photographer Alfred Stieglitz. He proclaimed her to be "a woman on paper." Furious (as only O'Keeffe could be furious), she confronted him, became his lover, and eventually married him, initiating an emotional and artistic collaboration that endured until his death.
O'Keeffe became a feminist before the word was even invented. When she realized that it would be impossible to become her own person while working in his shadow, she established the pattern of spending 6 months with him in NY and 6 months on her own in New Mexico, a place she always referred to as her spiritual home. Stiegitz died in 1946, and O'Keeffe lived on for another incredible half a century.
If you have the opportunity to visit New Mexico, don't miss the O'Keeffe museum in Santa Fe - and my all means visit her home in Abiqueque. To say it's Georgia O'Keeffe country is to put it far too mildly.

When author Laurie Lisle advised the artist, Georgia O'Keeffe, that hers was a story Lisle "wanted to tell," O'Keeffe, as was her wont, elected not to participate but told Lisle, "you are welcome to what you find." ("Forward and Acknowledgments.") Lisle, equipped with a passion for her subject and steadfastness of purpose - qualities similar to those governing O'Keeffe's own work and life - pored through museum bulletins and exhibition catalogue notes, magazine and newspaper articles, memoirs about O'Keeffe's artistic peers (including her husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz), and O'Keeffe's letters preserved in Yale's Beinecke Rare Book Library. She spoke with O'Keeffe's schoolmates, in-laws, and friends. And, of course, she viewed O'Keeffe's creations.

There is not one spot of color in this book except for the auburn and gold lettering on the jacket of my paperback. The sixteen pages of photographs in the book, only four of which show O'Keeffe posing with her art, are black-and-white. One imagines, had the artist participated in this project and accepted that a literary work, with an artist as its subject, could be as beautiful and fascinating as the flowers, skulls, rivers, and stones she captured in her own paintings, O'Keeffe would have appreciated the lack of color. For much of her life, O'Keeffe's signature garb was black with a touch of white, due to a belief that admirers ought to focus on the art, not the artist.

While reading this book, one obviously is tempted to take occasional breaks from Lisle's gorgeously plain, non-effusive prose to google O'Keeffe's paintings. After I read about O'Keeffe's initiation into the jet age, where she was surprised to peer down from her airplane window and "see so many rivers, tributaries, and deltas undulating through the earth's deserts" ("Chapter 13: Clouds"), I just had to view "It Was Red and Pink." However, this book clearly is not an art critique. Paintings are discussed insofar as they provide insight into O'Keeffe's mind, heart, and soul. Most of the time, while reading, I stayed far away from the computer. I was riveted by tales about family, femininity, marriage, the artist's apparent struggle between remaining dedicated to painting and perhaps having a baby, the conflict between how she and the public perceived her work, intimations of mortality, and a devotion to the splendors of New Mexico even after her eyesight failed.

I would recommend this book to anyone who relishes art, history, New Mexico, femininism, humanity, or just would love to read a great book.

Having just seen the Georgia Okeeffe exibition at the Phillips Gallery in Washington, DC, I had to run out and buy a biography to learn more about this incredible artist. This book gives deep personal insight to Ms O'keeffe's life and work.

Alaska is rarely included in Bigfoot books and Rob does a fine job of cataloging sightings in the Southeast part (Panhandle) of Alaska. He adds some good Northwest Native folklore as well as very good timelines and sighting location maps.

I give high praise to Mr. Alley for a job well done and may he write many more in the future!
This is the way to research and write about Bigfoot/Sasquatch, with facts and without contradictions or second guessing one's self!
Where I'm from, Maine, the French call Bigfoot "Loup Garou," which is french for "werewolf; wild beast."
I highly recommend this book. AAAAA+++++

I've been caught-up in the whole Sasquatch/Cryptozoology phenomenon since Jr. High, and consider myself very well read on the subject; John Green, Rene Dahinden, Loren Coleman, etc. But found this particular book extremely interesting. I was aware of several remote sightings in our 49th state, but didn't realize how frequent the sightings, and the rich prospect of scientific breakthrough. I wouldn't be surprised if the final solving of this mystery occurs in Alaska. I did however expect more reports from British Columbia and Washington State, but past publications, and the numerous Internet websites cover those areas quite well. Stunning eyewitness accounts, and absorbing data. I can't wait for future works on the subject from Mr. Alley.

If you are seriously interested in bigfoot or if you just find the topic intriguing or if you are looking for a good casual read, then you need this book. Its well written and easy to read. It is limited in scope, spatially. The author only considers the raincoast region of NA. Yet, the author has a good geographic knowledge of the area and places everything in that context. For that reason, the author doesn't fall into the "I'll hinge all bets on the Patterson footage" pitfall that so many of these guys can't avoid. All-in-all its a very good book with Coleman's book pulling up second. Plus, you won't have to hide it when the neighbors come over. Let them read a few pages and get drawn in.

Great book, a lot of facts, a lot of information, interesting. A well roundes researcher as well as author. Eric J. Mazzi

The book was shipped in the condition described and by the time I needed it.

I Love This Entire Series! The author makes history so interesting. I have enjoyed learning U.S. History all over again (more like for the first time) with my kids. Recommend the whole set!

When I first saw this book, I expected it to be like the awful textbooks found in schools across the country (the ones you could fall asleep reading), but it was nothing like what I had anticipated it being. Joy Hakim's fabulous writing, and the fun facts and illustrations scattered throughout this book make history seem like an ongoing story. Good for kids and adults alike!

This book is really supposed to be for little kids in elementary school, but I am reading it to understand my U.S. history class in high school, because it conveys our history with such clarity, and doesn't muddle things up like big ol' textbooks. SO BUY THIS NOW!You won't regret it...I wish I could have given this book more than 5 stars.

"Reconstructing America 1865-1890," the 7th volume in Joy Hakim's A History of US series, expands the notion of reconstruction, usually applied only to the Southern states of the former Confederacy to include the entire nation. In her preface to the volume Hakim declares "Are We Equal? Are We Kidding?" Her point is to underscore the Declaration of Independence's famous proposition that all men are created equal and to point out that ending slavery does not really free people if they are denied education and jobs. However, while the issue of racial division begins and ends this book, Hakim covers the entire domestic history of the United States in between the Civil War and the rise of the nation as a world power.

This volume does not have a formal structure but you can still find four rather distinction units. The first (Chapters 1-10) talks specifically about Southern Reconstruction and the fight between President Andrew Johnson and Thaddeus Stevens, leader of the Radical Republicans in Congress. The second (Chapters 11-18) tells about the opening of the West and Indians ordered to reservations. The third (Chapters 19-25) contrasts the world of Boss Tweed and Thomas Nast, P.T. Barnum and Mark Twain, with the immigrants who came to both coasts of the country. The fourth (Chapters 26-37) starts with the beginning of the movement towards rights for women and ends with Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois taking on the Jim Crow laws, with the birth of the Industrial Revolution and its patron saint Thomas Alva Edison in between.

As you can see, this is an inelegant division of these 37 chapters at best. But in the second half of the 19th-century of American history lacks the direction of the first, where the nation was hurdling towards Civil War. The idea that America was indeed reconstructing, or remaking itself, makes sense. However, there is no finality to the story at this point because equality between the sexes and the races are still a half and full century away respectively. One sign of the changing focus of history is that George Armstrong Custer and the Battle of the Little Big Horn is literally a marginal topic while the story of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce gets an entire chapter.

These volumes are wonderfully illustrated, with historic photographs, paintings, and in this particular volume political cartoons that help bring the period alive. Throughout the book you will find detailed features on subjects such as the first conservationist, John Wesley Powell, and the Route of the Nez Perce in 1877. As always the margins are crammed with notes, definitions, mini-biographies, and choice quotations. For children raised on computers and the Internet it is clear that Hakim is speaking their language, and for parents home schooling their children they will find Hakim to be an active teacher who anticipates questions and concerns from students even when she is writing and book and they are reading it. This is an excellent series of American history textbooks.

Dominique & Trinidad's story was one of almost losing, and find love again. I am glad they were able to work through their differences. I won't give away the story, I encourage you to read the book. I am a big Altonya Washington fan, and have read all of her books. This one and "Admission of Love" are my favorites!

Trinidad Salem loves his wife, Dominique, very much, but when he
learns of a secret she had been keeping since they've know each other,
Trin felt deeply betrayed and angry-so much so, that he demands a
divorce. However, before anything could be resolved between them, Dom
was presumed dead in a tragic plane crash. Totally devastated at the
loss of his wife, Trin turned to his work and sought out professional
help to deal with his anger and bereavement. Then about a year later,
Trin receives some unbelievable news - Dom is alive! Ecstatic, Trin
immediately rushes to her side only to learn that Dom has no memory of
him or their marriage. Because. Not about to let a second chance at
his marriage slip through his fingers, Trin begins to court Dom,
hoping that one day soon she will regain her memory and they could
resolve the issue that threatened to tear them apart.

Dominique awakens in a hospital with no recollection of who she is or
how she got there. And, then a handsome stranger appears claiming
that he was her husband and that they were very much in love.
Attracted to him from the start, Dom allows herself to be romanced by
Trin. However, her newly found happiness is short-lived when Dom has
a minor head banging accident that causes her to regain her memory.
Now, Dom realizes that before her amnesia, her marriage was on a
downward spiral and very close to a divorce because of a secret from
her past.

Is all hope lost or will Dom and Trin be able to mend their broken
marriage before the point of no return?

The plot in Remember Love circles around two main issues - secrets and
anger. The heroine was keeping a secret that caused major destruction
to her marriage which leads to the hero unable to maintain control
over his rage and being on the verge of expressing a violent behavior.
Although, Dom should not have kept the secret, I could totally
understand the reason why she chose not to tell Trin. She knew Trin
would be heartbroken and she did not want to cause him unnecessary
emotional pain and heartache. Nevertheless, she never would have
imagined his reaction to be as such. And, if the secret from her past
wasn't a big enough conflict, Dom's job as an investigative reporter
caused even more havoc on their relationship, because Dom's new
assignment was to investigate the company where Trin was the CEO.
Yikes! There are some sexual scenes throughout the book, but they are
vanilla and gently described. Remember Love is AlTonya Washington's
debut novel and I found it to be a pleasant, enlighten read.

ALTonya Washington is a very complete writer, and provides her readers with the full monty; in that she develops her characters completely, leaving no loose ends. This gives her stories, and the people who read them, a feeling of caring and, also displays the skills she has as a writer. I recently discovered this author, and subsequently ordered three more of her books on the spot! I found the same trend in each book! ALTonya has a reader in me as long as she stays true to this writing style.

This review applies to: Remember Love
A Lover's Dream
and
Love Scheme

I loved this book; could not put it down. The characters, plot, sex scenes were well written. I could not put it down until I finished and when I did, I wished for more to read. This is definetly a keeper for my personal library. I am looking forward to more from this author.

I enjoy very much, the strong and the weak part about these two people was enjoyable read, this is a great story.

I am new to local geology and found this very readable. It read like an interesting book, as opposed to a textbook.

Once, while hiking the North Cascade mountains with my uncle, Duwayne Marlo Anderson (a noted geologist), he pointed to a particular mountain and explained to me how it had moved, by the forces of plate tectonics, from a position far to the south, northward, up the coast, to be lodged in its current location in northwestern Washington.

Four years later I found myself at Paradise, in Mt. Rainier National Park. I'd come there for a weekend of snowshoeing with my wife and her parents, but I'd inadvertently forgotten to bring the book I was reading ("The New Science of Evo Devo, Endless Forms Most Beautiful," by Sean B. Carroll). Desperate to find something to read (I feel naked without a book in tow) I found my way to the gift shop and stumbled across "The Restless Northwest" on display. Leafing through the book, I happened to turn to page 58, which describes two superterranes that were lodged against the northwest coast of ancient North America roughly 50 million years ago, pushed into place by the movements of the ancient Kula and Farallon plates. Here was the explanation for the mountain that my uncle had pointed out years earlier. I snatched up the book and read it cover to cover over the next 5 days.

This is an absolutely great book. Hill Williams is a respected and accomplished science writer with a distinguished carrier. He understands the story, and has the writing skills to make it interesting. And what a story it is.

Williams begins by taking us back 200 million years ago to the super continent Pangaea and describes how it broke apart, pulled in different directions by the forces of plate tectonics. He tells the story from a story teller's perspective, weaving the various narratives of plate tectonics, seafloor spreading, volcanism, glacial activity, etc. into the chronicle that describes how the Northwest came by its unique landscape. Of the many topics Williams covers, a few stand out in my mind as the most interesting. First on my list of favorites is his explanation of how the Rocky Mountains were formed. Second is the way he recounts the additions of superterranes and their part in forming the northwest corner of Washington, as well as the Canadian Rockies and Vancouver Island. Possibly the most interesting story he tells is that of the great basaltic floods that covered the Columbia River basin, flowing over much of eastern Washington, even following the course of the Columbia River all the way to the Pacific Ocean. My personal favorite, though, is his description of the great floods that accompanied the semi-cyclic emptying of ancient Lake Missoula.

While those were the highlights for me, there were many other fascinating accounts, including massive underwater flows caused by earthquakes, and the earthquakes themselves, powerful enough to lift whole sections of the landscape by meters, while equally depressing other regions. And, of course, there is the story of the cascade volcanoes, symbol of the Pacific Northwest itself.

This is a relatively short book (only about 160 pages - I read it in less than a week), but it's surprisingly complete and detailed. The illustrations add greatly to the book. They are well drawn, easy to read, and they speak to the text using the same terminology.

This book will appeal most to the casual weekend geologist (I place myself in that category). If you enjoy hiking the Northwest, and especially the Cascades, Columbia River Gorge, and/or Olympics, the book should have special value in helping to explain the formations you'll see, and the forces that created them. The next time you find yourself on a craggy peak deep in the Olympic National Forest, and you look down to see a marine fossil or sedimentary rock at your feet, you'll know why (if you read the book).

As I read this book I had only one regret. I kept wishing I could see a movie that illustrates the string of events described here. I've seen short animations that trace a billion yeas of continental movement in a few minutes or so. That's not what I'm talking about here, though. I'm talking about an animated, narrated production, 45-60 minutes long, tracing the formation of the Pacific Northwest with as much detail as that given by Williams. Until the movie comes out, though, you'll have to read the book. Needless to say, this is one that I highly recommend. Happy reading!

It isn't often one finds a simply written, slender volume
that covers this much ground (sorry). Williams uses analogy
and simple illustrations to present a smack-up-to-date
understanding of Pacific Northwest Geology. Best of all,
he does it in a way that draws the reader into the
scientific process -- the geologists in the submarines
exploring ocean vents and fairylike mineral castles,
or scrambling through brush looking for places where
the pattern of rocks changes dramatically very quickly,
or frustrated in their efforts to gain access to layers
deeply embedded in the earth that might help answer their questions.

From beaches in West Seattle, to tree rings underwater
in Lake Washington, Williams tells great stories of
the puzzles presented in the earth around us, and the
people who figure them out.

"The Restless Northwest" by Hill Williams is a well written commentary on those fundemental processes responsible for shaping our Pacific Northwest. Hill's straight-forward style of presenting technical subjects makes the book an excellent source of geologic information, particularly for the casual reader. His depth of understanding of complex processes and ability to explain them in a manner comprehensible to most readers is commendable. With numerous simple diagrams together with easily understood discussions, he has clearly explained such technical processes as plate tectonics, geologic terranes, the great floods from ancient Lake missoula and many others. Willams has a knack for accurately converting complex sientific data to a form well understood by the general public. I have read a number of books that attempt this challenge and in my opinion "The Restless Northwest, a geologic story" is one of the best of its kind.

The authour, Hill williams was a science writer for the Seattle Times for twentt-four years, not a professor of geology, there in lies his power as a story teller, and by God what a story.
The story of our great NorthWest spans 175 million years, to a time when there was no Atlanic Ocean,to a world pushed together, all in a prehistoric hairball-"Pangaea" (MOM).

This is a new look at a very complex history of the world, plate movement, over a incomprehinicble time span, but with the use of tons of maps, common but understandable nartive, this work is outstanding

Rick and Bubba have done it yet again with another outstanding literary masterpiece. They are the tops of their business, and they aren't ashamed of who they are, and where they stand. They have numerous good ideas for our country, and they truly "care" about our wonderful country, and how they could change it, and help do their part to get things back to the way God Almighty intended. Our country will be in shambled politically when we choose our new administration, so choose Rick and Bubba, and get the book. It is a winner.

the book is so down to earth and real thinking. would love for them to be the presidents B U T ...... then we wouldn't have them on radio and their families would probably torn apart because of the stupid people "we the people" have allowed in congress and the other decision makers under the President. so i perfer them being on radio so i can enjoy them & hopdfully also they will get back on t v

If your laying on the beach with nothing to fuel your brain, I can heartily recommend this book as the funnest light read written by two jolly DJ's I've read this year!!!!
Tho they studiestly avoided quoting any of their illustrious interviewees, these two minds have found their twin in one another.
Please read. They must need the money or why write so many books!?!

I haven't finished this book yet, but have had some great chuckles so far. These guys are right on about the situation this country is in, and have some great ideas on how to make things better!! I had never heard of them before seeing a blurb on the internet about them. They are great, and I will purchase more books they have written.

after reading this book, there is no doubt in my mind that Rick & Bubba are the best candidates for president. if you are a true conservative, and you read this book, after you wipe the tears from your eyes from laughing so hard, it hits you that what they are saying is simply right on target. however funny they are, they also tell it like it is.
