McCullough is relentlessly positive...in his account of the long friendship between France and the United States, he does not mention the Iraq War, “freedom fries,” etc. But, as Emily Dickinson wrote, “hope is the thing with feathers,” and it is that bird that swoops through all.

Despite having complained earlier that London men marry only for their own financial advantage, she deserts her ‘citizen’ and marries the brother of her friend because she thinks he has more wealth. Okay, so hypocrisy is human, but surely she must...

That he does not engage with all this “stuff’’ means that his book, though it certainly contains beautiful writing and great promise, is a task only half completed.

Even when detailing how their relationship comes to a confusing end, Mayte Garcia is respectful and protective of her late-ex-husband and deeply reverential regardless of any anger. Despite all, her love for him endures and continues. I am grateful she chose to share her story, and I believe anyone interested in Prince will be as well.

Smith makes many telling, shrewd points in pursuit of realigning the popular image of Prince Charles, but the observation that stuck with me, one that brings us full circle, is a perfect illustration of her acumen.

These acerbic moments are amusing enough but they are at odds with his earlier reflectiveness. A shift in tone between Baldwin’s pre- and post-fame existence is inevitable, though the difference here is marked...

There will be little readership for the book outside of baseball fans, especially in the Atlanta area, but those fans will find a clear, readable old-school account of a player who almost certainly will be voted into the Hall of Fame, possibly as early as 2018, his first year of eligibility.

Lamott always delivers flashes of wisdom and inspiration that resonate, particularly with her most devoted readers, but the book is a somewhat opaque and redundant exercise that never quite feels grounded.

This book has all sorts of anecdotes about baseball and the 1960s. There are some interesting tales about what happened over those eventful ten years, as even a timeless game wasn't immune to what was happening outside of the foul lines. But the authors don't offer too much analysist. The resulting book feels a little too short.

“Phenomena” is a fascinating peek at worlds colliding, an engaging and enlightening look at the decades-long intersection of psychic powers and government bureaucracy.

But it is almost certainly wrong to find any fault with Verducci’s book. THE CUBS WAY is a tale of joy, redemption, making the last out in the last inning of the last game of the year, and bringing a tidal wave of celebration across the Upper Midwest. It is the kind of story that only a Cardinals fan could hate.

Thus I embrace the strong challenges put forth in The Benedict Option, and I affirm many of the strategies. At the same time, I feel that now, more than ever, is the time for us to engage...in confronting the culture, with pastors and Christian leaders taking the lead.

This book is haunting; it is smart and engaging. It was so engrossing that I read it in a day. But it’s also a deeply uneven book whose power in some moments only illuminates the absence of this force elsewhere.
