This is an awesome book on the best NHL (National Hockey League) player ever known, Wayne Gretzky. He was such an amazing player because he proved the critics wrong when they said he was going to fail because he was small for he's age and it's very to prove them wrong because they have experience on what the players will do. When he was in the NHL he broke more records then anyone in the NHL, like winning more MVP's then anyone in the NHL. One of my favorite things he did was score 50 goals in less then 50 games, which is very hard to do considering the fact that everybody in the NHL has been practicing since a young age. The part I could really picture in my head was when he made his 50th goal in 39 games because I know how it feels on who to achieve something in the sport. I liked how it ended the book because of all the biographies I've read, it's usually something sad but in this book it wasn't sad at all. This book reminds of a guy named Uhron, he's an european hockey player, he was really good at the sport and so was Wayne but Wayne was better. I was surprised when he was in his first year of playing hockey, he wasn't good at the sport at all which is very surprising since his nickname was "The Great One." I would recommend this book to anyone who likes hockey and knows the Edmonton Oilers. He's still alive and he coaches the Phoinix Coyotes but his' legend lives on.

One of my favorite stories as a little girl was The Wild Swans, by Hans Christian Anderson. I had no idea when I picked up this book that it was based on that story. I really LOVED the character development in this book. It was a magical story.

I've learnt that, if you want people to get to know you, you have to let them do it. You have to give a little to recieve a lot. I also understood that you don't have to go to the end of the world to find out who loves you, although this is a way to learn and I also remembered that you have to dream, to hope, to have an inner world to be a better person and who knows? maybe there is someone in a Fantastica who knows us, maybe our dreams meeet other dream and we all are a part of the neverending story that life, in itself means. We don't live as long as our bodies, we live as long as others remember us, as long as we have a little something here, and that something is forwarded to the next ones and not only we live, but we even succeed in doing things we didn't.
In retrospect maybe this book isn't worth four stars. Stories that at the time of his death hadn't been collected in books yet, along with some essays about writing and literature. Yet another review for a book I read at some indeterminate number of years ago that I remember very little about. In lieu of a real review, here is a piece I'd like to call: What I Thought about When I Thought about Raymond Carver Today. Thinking about what to write today I was thinking about how some writers have careers that seem to stretch for decades. Like when you think of Philip Roth, there are Philip Roth's for the 60's through the current time. All different Philip Roth's. Sort of like John Updike too. Other writers seem to embody just one small sliver of time. Like Tom Robbins, he can keep writing novels till he's 189 years old, but most likely it will still seem like he's stuck sometime in the post-1960's to very early 1980's. He'll never wash ex-hippie from him. Raymond Carver seems to embody such a small sliver of time, like very early 1980's and he might be dead by that point, or maybe not. I have no idea how long he was really in the spotlight for, or when he died, and I'm not looking it up, because it's beside the point, he's there for like a moment, sort of like in music Nirvana to me, they aren't timeless they are a brief flicker of early 1990's that are then gone, and Carver is sort of the same way, but for about 10 or 15 years earlier, of course I know what I'm talking about, at least subjectively for Nirvana, and I'm talking out my ass about Raymond Carver, but anyway; that's what I've been thinking about when I've been thinking about Raymond Carver for the past day or two (ohhhhhhhh Henry twist!!! I said today in the title, but it's actually been for the past two days!!!!!).

This book is filled with stories of real life heroes. Not just about firefighters and policmen that died, but everyday people that lost their lives. There were times I actually cried while reading the book, but I couldn't put it down. I had nightmares on the nights I'd read this book. The whole thing is still so hard to believe, but yet I feel we owe it to the victims to not look away.

http://breesabookworm.blogspot.com/ I don't even know why this book was in my "To Read" category on my Kindle. All I can think is that I must have gotten it for free at one point from Amazon. I don't generally read books like this, lol, but I guess one every now and then can't hurt. :) There's not much you can say about this book, except for the obvious. It's a sexy romance. They don't actually have sex until like 2/3 of the way through, but somehow manage to mostly think about it through the majority of the book. So much sexual tension! I loved the beginning and how he just grabbed her right there in the ER and laid a big one on her. Of course you'll know what I'm talking about when you read it! :) This is the first book in a trilogy of the Brafords, all siblings. Here's the blurb: To save one good man, she’ll have to let her inner bad girl out to play… ER nurse Jessica Bradford is a good girl. Okay, a reformed bad girl, but she’s done her late father proud. Now she’s one step away from landing Dr. Perfect, aka handsome, sexy, heroic Ben Torres—the hot fudge and cherry on top of her hard work scooping out a respectable life. Ben learned the art of sacrifice from his missionary parents, but when a drunk driver he saved kills three people, he quits. To be precise, the fist he plants in the man’s face gets him suspended. And the first dish he wants on his newly empty plate is Jessica—preferably naked. Jessica can’t believe the Ben she’s found drowning his sorrows in a bar is her knight in shining scrubs. And he won’t be pried loose until she bets 48 hours of her time in a game of pool. She loses. And the next morning she stands to lose much more. The Chief of Staff’s recommendation for the promotion she’s been after rides on her ability to keep Ben out of trouble until things blow over. Except “trouble” is all Ben wants. And despite herself, Jessica finds that she’s more than willing to go down with him… Warning: Contains hot love in a store dressing room and in the front seat of a car—at the expense of a very nice strawberry patch, unfortunately—oh, and hooker boots. Can’t forget the hooker boots. That's basically the book in a nutshell. Have fun! Cause it will basically mush your brain. :) The writing was good, I'd never read anything by Erin Nicholas before. I am going to read the next books in this series as they come out, because I definitely enjoyed the characters of the siblings, Sam and Sara. Well, Sam more so than Sara. I also felt that even though some of the situations were a bit over the top and ridiculous, the thought process and the back story of both characters was good. This book is written in third person from both the male and female perspectives.

This was a pretty chilling book - for being a young adult novel (not a series) it kept me interested and was pretty mature. The Presence, which is a ghost is drawn to a girl in a church that he resides in because she reminds him of his one true love that he acidentally murdered. Does she know what he is and what his true intentions are? *Chills*

Great depictions of depression era circus life; sympthetic look at the internal life of an eldery man; best use of villan/nemesis and forboding that I've read in a while; great fast read
