This is one of my all time favorites. There are so many twists and turns I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. The perfect thriller, I highly recommend it!

Intense! The story develops into a spiral of emotions and feelings intertwined, unspoken words, secrets revealed, dense dialogues. Desperate lives, irreparable losses, loves and passions, adventures. Everything goes writhing together, lives are dramatically affected, all too real. Looks more like a report of events and real experiences. In many instances, the course of events changes direction abruptly. The characters will come to life and the pages will pull the reader into the streets and places where everything will be taking place in a furious sequence. It is possible to feel and understand the psychological changes that will be happening in each one. Karen Perry controls and drives safely interlacing the human interactions. She waltzes with the perspectives from mom and dad with mastery, each one at a time, everything seems to come out of a real story with real characters. We can follow the ups and downs of their lives and feel winds blasting while the very roller coaster they live tears the air. Very impressive! Extraordinary! And the end, wow, the end!

If you want the adventure of a lifetime, Khyber Knights is a must read!

Not only do you see the beauty of Pakistan's panoramic countryside, you're also caught up in conflicts so intense that you are relieved when you and the author ride on.  My father, Marshal Ralph Hooker, was an equestrian explorer and one of the Founding Members of The Long Riders' Guild.  He would have loved to accompany CuChullaine on this amazing journey.  Don't miss this one.

Global RIdes, in conjunction with Cycling Fusion, has been producing quality virtual cycling DVDs since 2008. They are the "pioneers" in the field, starting a trend that keeps improving and growing. The first series was Hawaii Rides, produced in 2008. Then came Italy, France, local Pittsburgh rides (my personal favorite "The Dirty Dozen"), and now Spain Rides. They have continued to improve with each series, adding more HD quality camera focus and tailored rides. Spain is unique in its use of "on the road" coaching courtesy of Tom Scotto. The scenery is lush. The road is tough and brutal. This series packs a powerful punch.

I cannot say enough good things about this series. Each DVD gives the rider multiple options. Spain gives you extra bonus material that hasn't been seen on the other series. The variety is spectacular. Too, you could do one disk and do it again the next day and not get bored. The best part is the rider feels like he or she is transported to Spain, riding along, and completely involved in the ride. This is a pleasure. For someone who is stuck riding indoors permanently, this is the best escape. You feel like you are there and there is no price to high to pay for this pleasure. I know these rides will only get better in the future. You will not regret purchasing these rides. They're a must have.

A very entertaining ride through an adventure , if you can call it that, in the writer's life.  Once I started reading the book I could not put it down.

Poignant.  I kept flipping back between reality (I've seen that behavior too many times), and unreality (nobody could be that outrageous!).  You never quite know where you are going, but it is a fun ride.

Dean went on an extraordinary journey and as a close relative over the other side of the Atlantic who was in constant communication with Hilda and hearing her heart rending account of what they were going through, I found the book deeply moving.  That Dean survived all the trauma and invasive procedures was amazing  but to now be back doing the job he so loved travelling the world is a miracle.  The Ride is a chronicle of a life separate from reality that one feels is the reason Dean survived.  A lot of people would have put the whole episode behind them as too painful to remember.  That Dean could relive those long months show's a strength of character those who know Dean will readily recognise.

Soaring on Love is an amazing read that you hate to see come to an end. From the first encounter of Tressa and Roth, you feel the synergy they both bring to each other lives at just the right time. They share an energy and vibe like no other, one that could be sensed by all who encounter their engagement while in each other's presence.

From paper airplanes to snow angels the bond between Roth and Tressa becomes undeniable. Tressa manages to rock the plane of Roth's heart and reach deep into his soul in ways that Roth never thought that anyone could touch. She reached and melted his harden heart just with being herself and loving him like only she can. She is just the women for him, and he is just the man for her, but will they realize it before it is too late, or will they let the complications of their ex's ruin their "Soaring on Love" experience. If you want to experience the intense "Soaring on Love" experience, I highly recommend you read this book.

This was a thrill of a lifetime seeing this dvd. The journey this
dvd takes you is all the way up and never lets you down. This is by far my favorite EW&F dvd ,since it touches so much details about them.
It was great to see Maurice White once again talking aboout the pass and future of EW&F.
Ps. the universe is still guiding EARTH,WIND AND FIRE.

I've never been to a race track and gambling is not for me.  I don't know the basics about horses and avoid equestrian articles in the sports section. Seabiscuit, however, takes us on a fascinating ride: We experience the great fire that demolished San Francisco, we have house seats during the battle between horses and cars for transportation supremacy (the parallels between the early days of cars and the current cell-phone age are unavoidable and unsettling), and we stroll the streets
of Tijuana during its heyday a refuge from Prohibition.

The protagonists are recognizably human and, in different ways, heroic. Even the moody and stubborn Seabiscuit is described with empathy. The narrative style is friendly and conversational, and the ending is unexpectedly moving.

Seabiscuit has presided over the New York Times Bestsellers List for a while now, and there are plans for a movie. Maybe the film version will be effective. But do yourself a favor, treat yourself to this extraordinary tale before your first impression of Seabiscuit is a compromised, one-step removed film version.

My fianc has been riding since about 7 years old, and It is his passion. He saw a trailer for this documentary and kept watching it over and over. So I took it upon myself to see if it was something I could purchase, or if it was just an online video. I soon found it on amazon, and purchased it right away. If you have a passion for riding, it is worth every penny. This documentary is so deep and powerful. I swear I think I MIGHT have just seen a tear in his eye. This dvd came fast, and in mint condition. We still have zero issues, and it is being played at least 3 times a week. SO worth it!! Cover appears just as the picture, not one scratch, in protective and trusted packaging and delivery.

Darnit, Trumble, you did it again! The goings-on between a newly-minted high school teacher and his nearly eighteen-year-old student put a reader in the front seat of a wicked roller coaster ride. Just like at Six Flags, you know you're headed for a stomach-churning ride of ups and down, with moments of being turned inside out. These days, the latest and greatest amusement park ride pushes as much g-force acceleration as willing victims can handle, yet one always knows it will stop and let passengers off safe and sound at the end. Here, as the final chapter draws near, a reader feels one vertical drop after another, and is left wondering whether it will indeed be a survivable landing or track-jumping, out-of-control crash at the end. - From the confessions of a slow-motion-train-wreck-watching voyeur

This book is captivating from the beginning!  Ms. Reid takes you on the ultimate ride, from the struggles to attain the most desired attendant job, to the many demands and sacrifices that such a job entails.  The glamorous celebrities that depend on her bring their own unique twists and turns into what might have otherwise been an ordinary flight.  Ms. Reid rakes the reader with her to her very favorite corners of the world, and her enthusiasm jumps right off the page.  For those of us who will never be able to ride in a luxury private jet, or become a seasoned globetrotter, this is the next best thing!

Wow. Despite the tragedy that frames this book, it's one of the most wild, roller-coaster, entertaining reads I've ever had. It's the story of families forged in crisis, how people banded together and survived amongst the hurricane's aftermath in the French Quarter. One of the most memorable characters here is Ride who was the neighborhood's makeshift medic before the Red Cross or any EMS could get in. He sewed a guy's ear back on, healed wounded animals, treated gangrene on a woman who swam out of the floodwaters straight to Johnny White's bar which refused to close for one second. In the second half of the book, as electricity finally returns to their neighborhood, Clark and Ride travel to all the other regions, documenting the human details left after the wind and water, the sediment and sentiment there, in a way far deeper than any news broadcast could ever do. Some of the questions Clark faces: Where does your heart go when you must choose between the first place that ever loved you, and a person you love more than you ever thought was possible? And how do you, against all odds, make it through the hard time with a tear in your eye and a smile on your lips?
This is a must read for every American.

Thrilling, roller-coasting ride of a lifetime.

I love how the authors have their characters in their books use tag lines from movies - my brother and I do this non-stop.

Don't know what I'm going to do until October 21 (Book 10).

This is such a great movie. It amazes me what a person can do when they put their mind to something they have passion for. The filming quality is equally amazing. I got lost in the idea of doing this ride myself someday!
