Dragon Haven (Rain Wilds Chronicles, Vol. 2) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Dragon Haven is Robin Hobb's conclusion to her Rain Wilds Chronicles, begun with Dragon Keeper.

Sandry's Book (Circle of Magic, Book 1) (No. 2) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Okay, I have to admit it. At first I was reluctant to read this book. Actually that's putting it mildly. I did NOT want to read this book what so ever. And that's not because Tamora Pierce is a bad author. (Oh my gosh, NO! She is my favorite.) But her Tortall books had been so good I was afraid I would...

The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)J.M. Hurst was the "father" of cycles in the market. This book, written in the late '60's by this mathematician, was based on research he did using a Fourier Transfomations/Spectral Analysis model. Putting it bluntly, it is not an easy read. Hurst is a terrific writer - the book is very well done - but...

When Asia Was the World: Traveling Merchants, Scholars, Warriors, and Monks Who Created the "Riches of the "East" Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book was really a fun read - like travel literature plus. I never before thought about what Asia was like when Europe was in the Dark Ages. It's based on the actual journals of people who traveled during that time. There are lots of exotic places, like Bukhara and Samarkand, but I never felt lost....
