Is that the same as the movie with Meryl Streep?

I have always wanted to talk to someone about this. My father passed away when I was six and amongst everything that he left myself and my brother there were the complete leather bound set of Dennis Wheatly books. I am now 23 and tbh I have never even sat and tried to read one! I suppose you would recommend a read then? Do you know if these books are worth keeping? I was going to donate them to charity but perhaps I should try an read them! XxXxX

I haven't heard of this particular book, but this past summer I had the pleasure of reading "Twitch and Shout: A Touretter's Tale" by Lowell Handler.\n\nIt's Handler's memoir of a trip looking for people as unique as himself. It's not destined to be a classic, but it sounds like you might find it interesting.

I'm reading the book now.  It is about a supposed secret society that protected the secret that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalen and had a son.  The artist da vVnci was supposed to have been a member of that secret society, and hid clues about it in his paintings.\n\nRemember, it is a work of fiction.  Not a bad read, and makes you think, but still fiction.

Check Amazon.com.  Or if not there ebay.  If not there try just typing it in to Google.  I have never personally heard of the book so I'm not sure what the results will be.  Good Luck.

I look at amazon.com and there was only a few reviews that were negative. Did a web search and did not find any reviews which were more negative than the ones below found on Amazon.com\n\n\nReviewer: J. Constantine (Chicago, IL USA)\n     \nI am pretty surprised to read the multiple rave reviews on this book. I just finished it, and found it just ok. The facts of the story are interesting enough but I found the writing and telling of the story a bit too simple. There were some major events in these peoples' lives that were basically stated and not elaborated upon. And in several pages I found myself rereading a page to figure out which of the author's fathers was being described. I am sure that the incorrect names are used in two spots in the book. I don't need long, flowing descriptions of things. But if you are going to tell a story of this magnitude, it deserves a little more "fleshing out." I would have liked to have gotten some emotional reaction to it - ok, so his mother prefers not to discuss things. But how did these revelations affect the author? his family? I just wanted more - and if the author chooses not to reveal more, then explain why.\n\nReviewer: Elias Govea "Eli" (texas)\n\nThe Color of Water by James McBride tells two emotional stories. One of the stories is told by his mother, who is a Caucasian, and one by him, who is black. The mom talks about how hard it was growing up being Jewish. Worst of all her dad treated her harsh and sometimes even touching her sexually. Then she started her rebellious stage and started going out with black people even though he knew her dad would disapprove of it. This was the 1940's so this was dangerous for both of them. She talks about the many obstacles that she overcame in her like. For example, when her husband died leaving her with eight kids to attend to. Then she somehow found ambition to get all her kids to college. The son talks about the many challenges her mom had to overcome in order for him and his siblings to get a proper education. For example, when her second husband died leaving her with twelve kids to support she still manage to get all of them to college. This book seemed boring to me but if you are interested in how hard it is for a black person and a white person to fall in love and concur all the obstacles that came their way then you might be interested in it. This book is short but since it was boring to me, I found it to be very long. The book does not have hard language it is actually quite easy

I don't know about seeing it online - looking at a computer screen that long might not be a good thing.\n\nHopefully, your local library would have a copy of it and then you could check it out. Either way you get to read it, you'll enjoy it.  : )

I saw it. And I liked it very much.\n\nThe movie was a very good representation of the book.\n\nBooks always have more background and more details.\n\nSome things were changed or deleted, to keep\nthe story moving, but all-in-all my wife and\nI thought the movie exceeded the expectations\nwe had about what the movie could have been.\n\nBravo!!

I haven't read it myself but have heard good things about it\nThe Light On Pranayama: The Yogic Art of Breathing \nby B.K.S. Iyengar \nhttp://www.amazon.com/Light-Pranayama-Yogic-Art-Breathing/dp/0824506863/sr=8-1/qid=1163216305/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-4282659-5405669?ie=UTF8&s=books

I have. It's a good book. Honestly, few books I read in high school were so good as it. Possibly "The Great Gatsby" or "Catcher in the Rye", but that's it.

Looks like an interesting series of books by Cate Tiernan.  Had to go to Borders to find it.\n\nFrom reading the excerpts it appears to be sort of a 'diary' of a young teen just coming into her own.  She has a lot of decisions to make and a big revelation to cope with.  I'm hoping the series does not get too 'dark', but hey, life has it's darkness sometimes. If you learn something to help you cope with this world, go for it. "an harm none"  So mote it be. \n\nI am surprised no one has even attempted to answer your question, I'm hoping there are readers out there and not everyone lives on the net!

Very Insightful. Seriously I loved the series. Check out his book "God and the Evolving Universe" another great one. I forget who co-wrote it with him. I try to live with what I learn from reading different concepts and other peoples truths. This set of books has given me so many good lessons. The main thing I took away from it was a totally new way to interact with my children. I see them more as equals now than before. They have taught me many things that have made my life better. I think if people can use what they read in these books then it would be a really good thing for the world. \nLove & Light\nOne Planet = One People

Holden feels misunderstood by his family and peers. He doesn't blindly follow a script for how to live and believes that people who do are "phonies". \n\nHe has also lost a brother and is still angry and grieving over his loss. He sort of retreats into solitude to avoid being mocked, excluded and hurt by those around him.\n\nA sad story, but a wonderful book. :)

hello laurel! i think the book by john hagee titled "attack on america" is a great book, the reason why i like the book is because it reminds me that if i don,t get my self together in hell i will lift up my eyes.i also like this book because it is a reminder that we only have little time left, i think that everyone should read this book and have a discussion about the things that are unfolding before our very eyes...
