elaine55's reviews

It's a good source to visit the inside of the White House. It's just too old (only by year 2012) and needs to be renewed and offer more photo-images of all the rooms, in old conditions and renewed or restored.

The small book is about the residents of the People's House, and not about its history and architecture ! And the sketches are bland and without character... I cannot advice this to anyone: old or young.

An amazingly wonderful story ! About how anyone can survive and flourish after being dealt a heavy personal blows throughout their lives. The very best of Danielle Steel, yet ! Deep inside analysis into our inner feelings toward ourselves and close others: raw and truthful. Who can we really rely on when we're physically and emotionally harmed yet have a hope to live and create a beauty for the world and our own creative selves.

Very well illustrated and presented account of overall invention of paper and paper-printing tools and mechanisms of its mass-production and betterment. But a too sofisticated and difficult to read for a normal person. Perhaps, it's better suited for specialists in that field.

The authors are best friends between the two of them... and are singing the praises to one another... which takes about 1/3 of the book's space. Then they cover the quatations from Mr. Carson's interviews with his agents or others , mostly high-lighting Mr.Carson personal live matters and relations with family. I strongly believe, that authors had missed their true natural calling : of becoming the medical surgeons, and instead, had both wrongly chose the writing profession ! ... As they literally, "slice" a life of Johnny Carson merslessly, in the thinnest molecules as possible, physically Their theme and goal of their published "product", had clearly became the stunning persuit to describe the Johnny's Carson's untimely death, .. and nothing more than exactly that. It's clearly a reqium for our treasured National persona and artist. I do not recommend it to anyone , who still respects and enjoy the artist's work and word so very much, as I do, and who still watch great uniquickly-talented intertainer, person, so live, effective, wise and kind, still, after so many years after his noble departure from us, and enjoy his shows and presense tremendeously ! No need to check out this opus, whatsoever !
