Customer Review:
Sarah Vowell is my type of gal: writer extraordinaire, political guru, and complete and total history nerd. Coming off the success of the off-beat and incredibly likeable Assassination Vacation, Vowell brings to us the Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay Colony is her delightful new book, "The Wordy... more info

from Penguin Highbridge (Aud)
Customer Review:
This is an amazing book. It may sound extreme, but the information in this is mindblowing.
Not only is it extremely well written, but it explores the different sides of the same topic, giving you multiple perspectives.
I had started reading my friend's copy on a visit, and had to order the... more info

Customer Review:
The book is based on an interesting premise and the writing style is very easy to read, it really sucks you in. I personally REALLY like Malcolm Gladwell's books/lectures/ideas -- he's defeinitely one of my favorites.

from Simon & Schuster Audio
Customer Review:
That's the book I'm describing in my review title above, though it could apply to Sarah Vowell herself. This collection of essays is the best kind of historical musing; Sarah ties in the past with the present, and weaves her own biographical comedy around it all.

from Houghton Mifflin College Div
Customer Review:
I'm a vegetarian who doesn't eat at fast-food restaurants. I thought this book was going to be an interesting expose of the fast-food industry. Instead, it was a series of meandering stories that weren't all that compelling. I got about halfway through the book and realized there was really no point... more info

| | 10. |  | The Botany of Desire
from Random House
Customer Review:
It tends to ramble in the philosophical arena, but I found his writing well researched and the questions thoughtful and thought provoking. I would recommend it for a book club or philosphy group.
