By: Seth Margolis Rating: 3 stars This is the entertaining story of six (or so) New Yorkers who are buying and/or selling real estate and who end up having more in common than meets the eye. Though entirely fictional, their stories are entertaining, and weave a captivating web. I enjoyed this book, and thought it […]

By: Michael Connelly Rating: 4 stars. This book was an entertaining read. The writing style kept my attention, and the attention to actual lawyering detail and procedure impressed me.

Shortly after the book begins, the main character heads to rehab, and the reader realizes slowly that her entire life has been a […]
Book Review: Spiritual Midwifery

By Ina May Gaskin Rating: 3 stars Given how much I enjoyed Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth, I was disappointed that this book didn’t live up to my expectations.
