Dallas, TX (US)

Surviving with invisible and visible medical health conditions in XXI century US.

Very well written and totally on mark ! Especially for those of us, who are no longer in work-force, but suffering greatly with very well known established illnesses, such as Arthritis. And which are a result of work-related labor, by public or private Companies, that had refused to abide by safe-guard technics and laws by states and governmental rules, by simply providing a safety equipment as cheap as metal or wood steps -/ladders, for small children to climb on for the caregiver or a teacher to change their diapers. For children of ages 2 to 3 years of age. In order for those care-givers to simply stay healthy and without broken or vastly-exhausted bones ! And forcing these teachers/caregivers to sit on tiny kid's chairs while talking to them or simply talking to them. All we hear now days (even in big cities, as Dallas, Texas. The so-called doctors of today, who are even incompetent in reading CDs of MRIs or RX of bones and tissues. Having potentially all technical medical equipment that is easily available and not very expensive, either. Just lazy or incapable to study and learn their professionally-established conditions from other professors/practitioners that are practicing here, in TX or other states. Leaving alone professional abroad-In Germany or France..... It is so shameful and pity to see these types of doctors here, who are either lazy and cannot wait to retire of simply ignorant.

Jessica Fletcher & Barbara Early.

Snowy with a chance of murder.

Very well written, again, with good physiological and philosophical thinking... And Alice's character is nice and decent. While her upbringing is scary and devoid of real friendship and attachment. But, again, she presents a real hope for a much better quality of life.

The body in the tree.

Written very well, but the subject matter is very gruesome, weird and utterly unreal and unrealistic. I do not recommend this title for reading.

"La foce"

There is not a clear purpose for the album-book. The photography is low quality and narration is without a clear needed goal.... The volume has no artistic merit, nor is the story of the family interesting or meaningful. I do not recommend it to anybody wanting to learn about the beauty of Italy or about its reach history in architecture, sculpture or art of paintings.

Picoult, Jodi

small great things...

Intelligently written, but so very Not a novel or true story, at all. The end of the trial is as fictional, as only can happen in fairy tale.. Evil cannot turn out angel and vise-versa. Second, there are no African-Americans in the USA of 20th Century. There are Black people: good or bad... Ignorant or well-educated. The end of this book which is Not a Novel, at all, but Fiction with criminal content, can never ever happen.... A disappointing read, even if the writer seems to be capable of much much better.
