McCullough is US's greatest living nonfiction author
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful
After reading "John Adams" and "1776", it is easy to see why McCullough is our most respected nonfiction author, and he has never been implicated with plagiarism accusations (unlike Goodwin... read full review

Great book, great author

I am a self-professed Lincoln buff, so my review might be a bit biased, but I really liked the book, as well as Ms. Goodwin's ability to tell a story. Illustrating how Lincoln convinced many of his rivals ... read full review

My favorite movie of all time
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
I don't cry very often in movies, but I cry every time near the end of this one. To show what a profound influence literature and free thought can have on young minds is priceless, and to tie in the passio... read full review
DVD: Casablanca (DVD, 2000) 
My favorite love story of all time
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
The best love story of all time. Bogart has a presence in this movie that is unrivaled, and Bergman's angelic visage really adds to the magic of this movie. I will never tire of this movie, as every frame ... read full review
DVD: The Hotel New Hampshire (DVD, 2001) 
The book was MUCH better
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful
I was disappointed in this movie for many reasons. Minute details of the book were crammed into the movie, which would make the movie very hard to follow if the viewer did not read the book. A lot of Irving... read full review

Almost as good as Lincoln's speech!

I became an immediate fan of Garry wills after reading this book. I am a Lincoln nut, but even so this book was meticulously researched and incredibly well-written. I have read five books of Wills', and co... read full review

Ali is a living icon, and has much to tell
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
I really enjoyed this book. While it is a quick read, I thoroughly enjoyed the autobiographical parts of the book as much if not more than Ali's spiritual teachings. He speaks often about Parkinson's ... read full review
CD: Home by Dixie Chicks (CD, Aug-2002, Open Wide/Monument/Columbia) Dixie Chicks, Aug-2002
Forget politics, these ladies can SING!
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful
"Home" is possibly the best country music CD that I have listened to since Lyle Lovett. I own all of the Dixie Chicks' albums, and Home is by far their best. Not a weak song on the entire cd, and... read full review
Book: Abuse of Power: The New Nixon Tapes (1997, Hardcover) 
Absolutely riveting
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
Wow! I have been a buff of presidential lore for a long time, and am not easily shocked. Reading these transcripts of Nixon's Oval Office recordings floored me not only because of the paint-peeling languag... read full review

you will further appreciate King after reading this
MLK is one of my historical mentors, and I came away with a much greater appreciation for the man after reading Phillips' book. King was the center of the Civil Rights movement, and his dedication to the m... read full review
