Greatly flawed...but still fascinating read. 3 1/2 stars. by rmurray847 Pros: Some really excellent writing, and an essentially good idea.
Cons: Pacing drags far too frequently. Reading this book was a frustratingly unique experience for me. In some ways, it was well-written, highly-intelligent, interesting, luridly fascinating, evocative and left me eager to see what happened next. Yet it was often (at the same time) ...

Should Be Good for 300 More Years by abhaille Pros: Interesting history about the construction and restoration of the Tower of Pisa.
Cons: Some of the information is on the "lite" side. The story of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is wrapped in political intrigue, cultural pride and popular myth. Romanesque churches throughout Italia pride themselves on their campanile, or bell towers. Some are very well known, from the tower at Piazza San ...

Best DC Tour Book by genjic  Pros: Best book out there because of age related reviews.
Cons: Wish it had a pull out bigger, more detailed map of DC. This is the best DC tour book. I have the 9th edition of the book. It offers all your standard tour book things, like hotel, restaurant and attraction ratings. My favorite thing about the whole “Unofficial Guide” line is that they interview tourists ...

The Graving Dock Seamlessly Weaves Together Three Compelling Plotlines by sarah5775 Pros: Sympathetic hero, story captivating and suspenseful
Cons: None really, but I wish I’d read the previous book in this series Gabriel Cohen is a relatively new mystery novelist; The Graving Dock is his second book. Already, Cohen is showing a tremendous mastery of the genre. Police procedurals are a very common sub-genre of mystery novels. These are stories that focus on a ...

Welcome to “Hell-Town”, and hold on for a fine ride with Norman Mailer. by mollymole Pros: A clever, confusing, brash look at Old Cape Cod and its netherworld.
Cons: The ending does not hold up to the rest of this intricate novel. Soon after Norman’s death I heard a clip of an interview where he said “Tough Guys Don’t Dance” was his best book. And I thought I was the only one who enjoyed this novel! He may have been kidding; may have written it to put some quick ...

Projects for Everyone by pambo Pros: Good advice, easy to follow
