Average review score:

Now the forth "r" relax
I think this is a very good book. I used to hate reading before I read this book. The book is about a girl named Summer that is engaged to a guy named Seth, but while he is in Cal. she is cheating on him with a guy named Austin. But what Summer doesn't know is that Seth cheated on Summer with her cousin, Diana. This is my favorite book!

A Very Cute and Cuddly Book
This book is wonderful! My five-month-old daughter loves the unique red yarn-covered cover of this book and laughs through the whole book. I can't wait to get the other three books in this series!!!


The Redemption of Deke Summers (Harlequin Intrigue, No 414)
Published in Paperback by Harlequin (April, 1997)
Author: Gayle Wilson
Average review score:

Gayle Wilson is THE reason I continue to read category...
even though my tastes run to mainstream. She's a wonderful writer. Her characters are always rich & life-like, with enough flaws and emotional baggage to make them feel so authentically human, I hate to let them go as I'm nearing the end of the story. O, and the love scenes... steamy, ladies, veerrry steamy (just the way I like 'em).

If you're a fan, this story won't disappoint (it's tied w/ Ransom My Heart as a GW favorite). If you're not a Gayle Wilson fan yet, read this one (scour the Internet to find a copy if you have to), and you will be.

Gayle... you're awesome! Your books are stacked on my Keeper Shelf right next to my all time favorites by Linda Howard, Anne Stuart, & Tami Hoag.


Rethinking American Literature
Published in Paperback by National Council of Teachers of English (December, 1997)
Authors: Lil Brannon, Brenda M. Greene, National Council of Teachers of English, Summer Institute for Teachers of Literature, and Brenda M. Green
Average review score:

Excellent collection for new & experienced English teachers.
Teachers of multicultural literature at both the high school and college level will find many valuable essays in this collection. This also would be useful for a teacher-training course. The essays range from first-person accounts of classroom experiences to analyses of texts that teachers could present to their own students. The overall tone is teacher-to-teacher discussion, with a good combination of theory and practice.

The Robert F. Kennedy Assassination: New Revelations on the Conspiracy and Cover-Up, 1968-1991
Published in Hardcover by Acacia Press, Inc. (April, 1992)
Authors: Philip H. Melanson, Anthony Summers, and John H. Davis
Average review score:

An Expose of the Cover-Up of the Conspiracy
Philip H. Melanson is a professor of political science and a specialist in the study of political violence. This book is an authoritative expose of brazen official manipulation of the legal process used to cover-up the conspiracy to kill RFK. The numerous glaring and unanswered questions in this case, with the simplistic official solution, caused the author to research for additional unexamined evidence. He spent many years investigating the facts, interviewed dozens of witnesses, law enforcement officials and other sources, and analyzed hundreds of LAPD and FBI files released by 1991.

Philip H. Melanson provides evidence that Sirhan did not act alone, and, the official investigation authorities (LAPD, FBI) covered up evidence that suggested conspiracy (p.4). He was the first author to have access to most of the existing LAPD files on the case. He and his team found that the LAPD had altered, suppressed, and destroyed vital evidence in the case (p.6).

The investigation assumed a "lone gunman" immediately. The trial was only concerned with Sirhan's state of mind (pp.24-25). The number of shots fired, the bullets matched to the wrong gun, were all skipped over. The LAPD's conclusions, its methods and its competence were not tested in an adversarial proceeding. The tapes of Sirhan's interrogations were never released to the defense. The profound discrepancies and conflicts in the evidence were suppressed or ignored by the LAPD and were never addressed by the judicial process.

What made this case so hot that the 1997 Congressional Investigation wouldn't touch it? Will the assassination of RFK ever be reinvestigated by a Congressional Committee? We've also learned a lot since 1991 about the LAPD and the FBI: the Trial of OJ Simpson, and the Inspector General's report on the FBI. (Read "Tainting Evidence: Inside the FBI Crime Lab Scandals" by Kelly and Wearnes.)


Rodeo Summer

Rodeo Summer review
Rodeo Summer was one of the best books I have ever read. I have read it 8 times. My favorite part is in the end when the little girl is hanging from her stirrup and Janet and Crow come and save her instead of running barrels. Also Crow ends up liking her dad.(Crow didn't like him at first.) I think this is a great book for girls that love horses.

The Same Sea As Every Summer (European Women Writers)
Published in Hardcover by Univ of Nebraska Pr (May, 1990)
Author: Esther Tusquets
Average review score:

One of the best novels of XXth century Spanish literature!
This is the best novel that I have read from XXth century Spanish literature. Through a deep emotional and profound language, Esther Tusquets introduces us into the world of this female narrator whose name is not spelled out in the entire novel. At the same time, El mismo mar de todos los veranos explores female subjectivity in an unprecedented way, and it is the first Spanish novel ever to portray lesbianism in its literature. Through this creative language full of metaphors, imagery, symbolism, and stories, the narrator introduces us into her world and into her mind, in fact, throughout the whole novel, it is the mind and experience of this anonymous narrator that the reader explores. El mismo mar de todos los veranos at the same time presents a critical portrayal of marriage, family, and heterosexuality, showing that women's experience is very limited; the narrator has always felt unsatisfied and a deep sense of failure when it comes to the traditional roles that are assigned to women (wife, lover, daughter, mother), leaving her with nothing else but language, words, metaphors, imagery and a deep desire to tell past stories. It is this intimate language that shows how female experience and homosexuality (in this particular case lesbianism) can only exist in isolation, and it is precisely in this state of isolation that past and present will coexist. What personally passionates me about this novel is that it portrays our precarious and insignificant existence as human beings; when we have lost the love of our lives, when all our dreams and expectations have never come true, or when they at least are not what we would have expected them to be or what we believed they should have been, when all the tenderness and love have gone away, we are only left with a deep sensation of sadness and emptiness, and the only things that we have left are language, words, metaphors, symbolism, and the desire to relive and retell a painful past.
An excellent masterpiece to be read by every contemporary reader.
