Book Reviewer

"Wow! I am so impressed when a (relatively) new author creates such a compelling, exciting and potentially controversial novel. The action is non-stop, the locations are intriguing and the characters are appealing. There is tension, romance, harrowing escape after harrowing escape all weaved within a story that captures your interest and keeps you guessing until the very end when you are floored by a surprise hook followed by an even more unexpected uppercut of an ending."

The Love Triangle: How To Heal from a Broken Heart (Hurt, Shame, Bitterness, & Betrayal) BESTSELLER

The Love Triangle: How To Heal from a Broken Heart (Hurt, Shame, Bitterness, & Betrayal) BESTSELLER Review

"It is my intent to help you heal from a broken heart. A broken heart can be devastating. It can cause one to lose the desire to live. It can also cause lack of ambition, loss of or increase in appetite, and numerous other destructive behaviors. Hopefully, the words that are on the pages in this book will be just the guide that you are looking for to help you heal from your broken heart." ~Armani Valentino

~Has someone broke your Heart?
~Did your wife, husband, or significant other betray you?
~Did the person you love, leave you?
~Are you still trying to get over a breakup from years ago?

In the follow up book to 99 Questions...Before Having SEX, Armani Valentino brings what he calls the “missing link” in relationship success when everything else seems so right. “Many people go from relationship to relationship and never ever heal,” says Mr. Valentino.

By the end of this book you will be able to:
~Understand and recognize the difference between Love & Sex, and how not to get the two confused.
~Finally be able to For-Give, and know when you have really forgiven.
~Love without Limits
~Understand the LOVE Triangle® and how to use it to Heal from a Broken Heart
~Receive Love and Balance into your life & MORE!
~How your idea of Love keeps you brokenhearted

This book was actually supposed to be out before now, but I was distracted once I started writing and producing my first play. However, for my own life, the completing of this book was right on time. Why do I say that? While much of the book was written on experiences from the distant past, after going back to complete the book, my more recent broken heart was actually healed from this process once again. So, does it work? I would have to say, ?Yes!?


No matter how dark things may seem in your life, things will turn for the better if you change the focus. Learn from all and appreciate all that you have experienced in your life.

Please Stop Laughing at Us... (Revised Edition): The Sequel to the New York Times Bestseller Please Stop Laughing at Me...

Please Stop Laughing at Us... (Revised Edition): The Sequel to the New York Times Bestseller Please Stop Laughing at Me... Review

As a sequel to the New York Times bestseller Please Stop Laughing at Me..., the 2007 release of Jodee Blanco’s Please Stop Laughing at Us... received deserved attention for demanding an end to school bullying
once and for all, and for supplying parents, educators, and targeted students with the tools and skills needed to do so.

In this 2011 revised edition, Please Stop Laughing at Us...One Woman’s Inspirational Story Continues includes the same powerful message that Blanco is respected and known for, with new material, including strategy guides for parents and educators, new material, including a Q&A for parents and educators, updated information on university bullying in light of recent news events, and a touching epilogue.

Please Stop Laughing at Us...is the story of America’s rejected and bullied students from the perspective of the one person with unprecedented access to the truth about what’s going on in our schools. Blanco exposes both the strengths and vulnerabilities of a nation too clouded by rhetoric and self-defense to understand what really needs to be done.

The World Is Flat?: A Critical Analysis of New York Times Bestseller by Thomas Friedman

The World Is Flat?: A Critical Analysis of New York Times Bestseller by Thomas Friedman Review

Globalization is the greatest reorganization of the world since the Industrial Revolution, and is threatening to hollow out America's middle class.
_______________________________________

Millions of Americans are preoccupied with the outsourcing of American jobs and the threat of global economic competition. From boardrooms to classrooms to kitchen tables and water coolers, globalization has become a hot topic of discussion and debate everywhere --including a best-selling book by a famous journalist. However, Thomas Friedman's runaway bestseller, The World is Flat, is dangerous. Friedman makes "arguments by assertion," assertions based not on documented facts, but on stories from friends and elite CEOs he visits --not even one footnote reference. Yet his book influences business and government leaders around the globe. By what it leaves out, it does nothing more than misinform the American people and our leaders.

Aronica and Ramdoo show that the world isn't flat; it's tilted in favor of unfettered global corporations that exploit cheap labor in China, India and beyond. This concise monograph brings clarity to many of Friedman's misconceptions, and explores nine key issues that Friedman largely ignores, including the hollowing out of America's debt-ridden middle class. To create a fair and balanced exploration of globalization, the authors cite the work of experts that Friedman fails to incorporate, including Nobel laureate and former Chief Economist at the World Bank, Dr. Joseph Stiglitz.

Refreshingly, you can now gain new insights into globalization without weeding through Friedman's almost 600 pages of ill-informed, grandiloquent prose and bafflegab.

THE HUNT FOR BIN LADEN- The New York Times Bestseller- 500+ Pages

THE HUNT FOR BIN LADEN- The New York Times Bestseller- 500+ Pages Review

THE NEW YORK TIMES INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
Completely Revised and Updated for the 10th Anniversary of 9/11

As the (al-Qaida terrorists) charged one wall, three Green Berets charged over the parapets, oblivious to the enemy small-arms fire that was cracking by their heads and shoulders.

'Focus, squeeze, focus, squeeze,' they recited quietly... Each time... the lifeless body (of an al-Qaida terrorist) would snap back through the desert air and drop onto the sandy courtyard.

The war in Afghanistan was the most secret conflict since the CIA's covert war in Laos; thousands of journalists covered it, yet, ironically, little is known about how it was waged or what really happened - until now.

Task Force Dagger plunges the reader into the West's War on Terror, from the first top-secret meetings in Tampa, Florida, on the afternoon of September 11, 2001 through to the liberation of Kabul sixty two days later and the tragedies of Operation Anaconda. The book takes the reader into the heat of battle - as seen through the eyes of the Green Berets and the SAS on the ground. This is the story of how only a few hundred men, operating from a secret Special Force's base, changed the course of history in Central Asia and destroyed a one-hundred-thousand-man terrorist army in less than ninety days.

Action -packed and controversial, The Hunt for bin Laden--Task Force Dagger is teeming with revelations and inside information: the truth about John Walker Lindh and Mike Spann; the failure of the 'conventional' generals; the courage of the Northern Alliance; the wounding and murder of journalists; and the flaws and frustrations of the hunt for bin Laden himself.

The Green Berets were calling in airstrikes and fighting alongside the armies of the Northern Alliance against the terrorist al-Qaida and Taliban. In less than three winter months about a hundred Green Berets and forty SAS men accounted for the deaths of perhaps as many as forty thousand terrorists and the winning of a war in Afghanistan - where the Soviets had found fighting a war all but impossible.

About the author

Jack Idema was born on Memorial Day, 1956-the federal holiday commemorating U.S. soldiers who died in military service. He is co-author of the best-selling books The Hunt for Bin Laden (Random House) and Task Force Dagger (Macmillan UK) about the first two hundred American Special Forces who defeated the Taliban and al-Qaida terrorists in Afghanistan between
October 2001 and June 2002, on which The Hunt for bin Laden-Task Force Dagger is based. He is the recipient of the 2001 National Press Club Award, one of the world's most prestigious awards for Journalism, for "The Colonel's Wife" chronicling his one year search for the killer of a Green Beret colonel's wife.

His investigation of Soviet Union nuclear smuggling during the Lithuanian Revolution, in which he participated as a combatant, enabled both "60 Minutes" and US News & World Report to win the IRE (Investigative Reporters and Editors) Tom Renner Award for Outstanding Crime Reporting in 1996 for their stories on Russian Nuclear Smuggling.

Idema spent his military career in the United States Army Special Forces & Special Mission Units, more than twenty years working with or for the CounterTerroristGroup US, and over seven years in Afghanistan. He has trained, worked with, or conducted operations with almost every Special Operations Force in the world, including the British SAS, the German GSG-9, the French GIGN, the Soviet GRU military intelligence, and Soviet Alfa Group Commandos.

While there are disputes over who was the youngest Green Beret in American history, the fact remains that Jack Idema was awarded his Green Beret in 1975 by Colonel Charles Beckwith, founder of Delta Force. No other person has ever even been admitted to the Special Forces selection course at the age of eighteen, no less graduated and been awarded the coveted Green Beret at nineteen.
