Welcome!
When I read Sandra Brown’s latest thriller, one question immediately popped into my head: how on earth has Griff Burkett, a star quarterback who threw a playoff game for the Dallas Cowboys, survived his five year stint in prison?
Manhattan GMAT supposedly runs the best GMAT courses out there, and these books look a lot simpler to weed through than the massive texts that you normally find in a bookstore. I've only just started studying -- does someone have an opinion about the best way to study for the GMAT?
Legacy of Ashes reads like a thriller in reverse. It's sort of a secret history of the CIA. But instead of the agency being filled with highly skilled assasins and operatives with their hands on the levers of power in foreign countries, everyone in this book is incompetent or worse. Weiner takes the standard account of the CIA, the paranoia that fueled so much postmodern fiction, and gives it to us from the other side. The only thing this dismissive account lacks is a control group.
The Conversation in the Cathedral is a magical book. Based in 1950s Peru during the Odria dictatorship, it is the story of two long-lost associates (friends may be a bit strong of a word) who, over a series of beers, learn about the torments in each other's lives.

The story about love, rebirth, hope and fear takes so many turns and asks so many questions that it is difficult for a reviewer to even attempt to explain the simple complexity of this novel. Will Cara Dolorina take the trip to Italy?
