| | 1. |  | The Rider
from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Customer Review:
I had high hopes for this book, and truly felt it deserved only 2 stars. However, since there are not many cycling "novels" on the market, I felt compelled to issue a 3 star rating.

| | 3. |  | A Father's Affair
from Canongate Books Ltd
Customer Review:
First of all, I love the story. That's not what I'm writing about.

| | 7. |  | The Gates of Damascus
from Lonely Planet Publications
Customer Review:
This author is so sensitive towards her subjects. I really love this writer. She tackles difficult questions and situations. This is an inside story where Joris looks at situations (Syrian 'common' life) from her own perspective and she tries to do this from the country's/peoples perspective. Joris... more info
