Once again, the view into Alskan life is terrific!

The good news is not only that the bad news is wrong, it's also that the news is truly good. This should be required reading for every high schooler.

Interesting view into modern Poland. Mystery is OK as well.

Each chapter is kind of a stream of consciousness with a starting math topic. Interesting.

It seems like the ionger the novel went on, the less care and attention was piad to the writing. The ending seems really rushed and there wa no way I could follow the building blueprints.

You will learn a lot about Alaska crab fishing boats

Part Romance, part mystery. Maybe this is standard practice for Romance, but the writing was somewhat overwrought.

Well-written book that tells you everything you want to know about the history of Polynesians, with some fascinating characters along the way.

Too many hard-to-read footnotes

It's hard to keep track of all the characters. Detailed to the point of tediousness at times.

Interesting history of an interesting man. My only problem with this book is the back and forth, seemingly at random, in the chronology of Davis.

About the same as the first one in terms of mystery and weirdness

An adventure in narcissism. As someone here said, the author spends many paragraphs, many pages saying how humble he is. Hmm, kind of defeats his purpose. He should get along well with Michael Caine, who also seems to make dear, lifelong friends with just about everyone he knows. Unless you really want to hear not much gossip about writers, skip this one.

Ultimately, a big ball of nothing. One gets almost no insight into Paul Le Roux. Lots of characters and places but feels disorganized.

I heard a lot of good things about this book for mystery lovers, even though it is a YA book. It is a YA book but not an interesting one.

A little slow but thoughtful. I found several things that were references to other outside things.

Very Alaska-y!

This book ranks with “The Nine Questions that People Ask about Judaism”. My only cavil is with Kemelman's view of the afterlife in Judaism. He is plain wrong.

Confusing. Too many players, which isn't the author's fault. His updated afterward left me puzzled.

I like the idea of this book and Scott Shay is a good, common-sensical person. The chapters on the Bible and history are pretty good, as is the monotheism part. But his explanations often don't explain anything, and the last chapter on prayer is hard to understand. The contributions from non-Jewish religious leaders pretty much adds nothing to the book and feels like political correctness.

Not one of her best

Stephen is a pill.

Krueger shows he writes well about nature even when it's not the Northwest

Stephen is not a very interesting or realistic character.

The ending is somewhat far-fetched
