For Magic fans and Bird fans alike
I grew up a Lakers fan (more so Kareem than Magic), so the book When the Game Was Ours really caught my interest. Jackie MacMullan did a decent job incorporating what appears to be information obtained from in-depth interviews with Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. He made the intertwining of their stories interesting. However, it was slightly frustrating being bounced back and forth through time. Other than that, it was a very entertaining book. It was fun to read Bird and Johnson's perspectives regarding the...
One Basketball Book That Covers An Era!
Bird and Magic were rivals throughout their career.
Their mutual respect and competition between them
was something to behold. The classic Celtic-Laker playoffs
were great. This books sheds some good insight into their
relationship and some of the behind the scenes issues that developed.
A good read!

DDay Review
I agree with the author of the recent Time review which found the book interesting and factual. I was especially interested in the increased amount of detail which the author compiled from various sources from both sides of the conflict. The maps of the battle scenes were appropriately placed. What made me realize that the author was British was the use of certain words such as \"stick\" for platoon and other turns of phrases. He along with other observers felt that Monty was a poor leader in that he refused...

Anthony Beevor is a great historian.
I have read all his books,but this one is very special to me as it happened in Normandy,where I,partly, grew up. I am very familiar with all the small towns,villages and hamlets mentionned in the book . I have travelled the small roads in a region which is today so quaint and peaceful.

Great reading on a Key Event in History
This is a well-written, reader-friendly but richly-detailed account of World War Two's Normandy Invasion. It provides the reader with novel-like intimacy. Just about every aspect of D-Day, if not actually every aspect, is covered in depth.
The author and celebrated historian obviously had to climb a steep mountain of huge piles of research, as evident in the 43 pages of supportive endnotes, to write this 523 page book accurately.

FANTASTIC! A MUST READ!!!
What a riveting book! I don't know much about Wall Street and the financial system, but \"The Sellout\" broke it down in the simplest of terms. It was detailed and insightful without the erudite commentary one would expect from a book about Wall Street's financial meltdown. I loved the personal stories of the nations top CEO's and accounts of their oblivious meetings while the country's economy began cracking like a bad paint job! I felt like the proverbial \"fly on the wall\" as I read about secret wheelings...
A total waste of time and money
I felt ripped off by reading this book. The author is biased and the book is not very informative.
Uniformly Oustanding
As an outsider to Wall Street, I found the Sell-Out to be an excellent resource. Although colorful and provocative, the Sell-Out offers a accurate historical account of the meltdown of our global financial system.
I suspect that the book will soonserve as required reading for students pursuing formal training in business.
