For: The president's kitchen cabinet

The president's kitchen table.

Yellowed old paper pages, dark black-and-white few photos and the horrible smelly paper . Result- impossible to read or enjoy.

For: Roots Heart Soul : The Story, Celebration, and Rec...

Roots, Heart and Soul in the Cooking by Masters !

First: Beware ! Do Not open this book on the empty stomach ! It will kill your brain, stomach and the rest of your organs, totally and irreversably ! I have never read such an amazingly written book: brilliantly written and illustrated ! The recipes presented with such accuracy and the detail ! Also, the history of dishes and when they were made and for which occasions. Writing is as if it were done by a Scholar of English language and literature professor. It's imppossible to put it down, and makes your mouth water once you open the Book and proud to be an American.

For: Russia and the Golden Horde : the Mongol impact on...

Russia's history during the three centuries of Tatar-Mongol Yolk.

Extremely presumptious, unsure and poorly written account of Ancient history of the Russian society. Mongol and Tartars that had comprised the "Golden Horde" in early XII until middle of the XV centuries failes to illustrate and to write of two different "peoples": The Tartars (also known as Tatars) and the Mongols. Instead, author mixes them up in undifined mix... and totally ignore their crucial differences, locations and and their territorial and political roots ! Find the Russian (Soviet) writer(s) who will present the time of mongol-tatar yolk period truly and with much less bias and assumptions then foreigners ever can..., I do not reccommend the book.

For: MARCH TO THE MAJORITY

March to majority.

Literally, nothing to write home about. Just one's story of climbing a political ladder. I didn't find anything exciting or inspirational... Internal infiting between members of same or opposite party people for the shere sense of power and money (I suppose). And not for the betterment of the quality of american citizens' lives Writing is poor, repetitious and none issentual. I felt as if I just wasted time.

For: Far From Home

FAR FROM HOME.

A very good somewhat believable story of men and women , their families in the WORLD WAR II Europe ( Germany and France) Who are losing their family members and relatives and later, after its ending, struggling, to find their lost family members, who died and spared alive ones. And of perserveering during the this grim and dangerous time, relying on new friends, cautiously, until sure that they're noble and trustworthy... Well written and engaging. Some repetions and small orphagraphical and stylistical errors, but to small extent. I recommend it to young people.

For: SONGS FOR THE BROKENHEARTED

Songs for the Broken Hearted

This book was both well-written and informative. I learned so much about Yemeni Jews in Israel and the beautiful culture they brought with them. This is the story of a Yememi woman who dies, leaving two daughters and a grandson to grieve. Zohara, the rebellious daughter, returns to Israel from overseas and gradually realizes there were substantial parts of her mother she didn't know. Although her mother was illiterate, she was a poetess and had a moving story to share. As Zohara gets to know her mother through songs, letters, and cleaning her house, we get to know Zohara and all her stuggles, hopes and dreams. There are several love stories within the stories told, and one will find this a gratifying read.
