William Ellery Channing, His Opinions, Genius and Character: A Discourse Given at Newport, R.I., On the Celebration of the Centenary of His Birth, April 7, 1880 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is an awful reproduction or photocopy of the original text. Nabu Press never should have allowed this copy of the original text go to print. About 1/3 to one-half of the pages are unreadable. They warn the purchaser that there may be some problems with the text, but this is more than some small...

A Circle of Two: Book of Newport Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book starts out pretty quickly. The introduction to the characters is well written; however it can be a little confusing. The book is mostly about two best friends that find an old scrapbook of poetry, that one of their grandmothers left them. The plot thickens when the two girls discover that the...

The Branch Davidians of Waco: The History and Beliefs of an Apocalyptic Sect Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you are looking for one complete study of the events leading up to the deadly fire of April 19, 1993, then this is the book you want to read. It reviews the founding of the Davidian sect, the breaking down into the various branches still with us today, and carefully tracks the development of Branch...

The Newport Serial Killer Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have never read this author before, and surely won't again. I'm sure it's easy for me to be an armchair critic, having never written a novel myself. But I sure have read zillions of 'em. This one is sorely lacking. Its prose leaves a lot to be desired--the conversations between the characters are boring...

The White Bones of Truth Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Cris Newport's second novel is an insightful and realistic look into the lives of four individuals who want to change their world. From the political activist, Phoenix, and the dual-gendered outcast, Corlay Llewellyn we are treated to a view of the world from the outside of the power structure. As they...

Sparks Might Fly: A Novel Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've read a lot of first novels and usually they're okay, but not outstanding. This one, however, is definitely the exception. Sparks Might Fly is a deceptively simple novel -- at least on the surface. But there's so much more going on below the surface. Newport has incredible insight into the act and...

Lost Spacecraft: The Search for Liberty Bell 7: Apogee Books Space Series 28 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I worked for McDonnell on Gemini and for Boeing on Apollo (too young for Mercury), so I naturally read every space history book I can get my hands on. This was definitely one of the best I have ever read.I usually wind up with a list of technical and/or historical errors whenever I read space history...

Sixteen Scandals Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This was a rather frightening, yet hysterical, trip down memory lane. So much has happened in American politics over the past 20 years. What a blessing it is to have the Capitol Steps around as the bards recording the inane antics of our elected representatives. To prove how great this book is, I've...

Newport The Sin City Years, KY (IMG) (Images of America (Arcadia Publishing)) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book includes a fascinating look at Newport's sordid history and includes vintage photographs of many of the former clubs and casinos. The accompanying captions relate interesting tidbits about the people and places that made Newport the Sin City of the south.It begins in the Prohibition era and...

Polling Matters: Why Leaders Must Listen to the Wisdom of the People Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a fascinating book for me simply because the author nails so many aspects of polls, squarely on the head, especially those polls where the person being asked questions may be to uneducated, uninformed and is actually answering questions based on what they have heard about other poll results,...

Reapers, Inc.- Rogue Reaper Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I thought Reaper's Inc. - Brigit's Cross was fantastic, but the sequel, Reaper's Inc. - Rogue Reaper is astounding! Every page evokes an emotional response and keeps the reader glued to the story. B.L. Newport has a flair of writing that makes the action jump off of the page where the reader can see...

Mozart and the Whale: An Asperger's Love Story Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Asperger's syndrome is one of the many branches on the gnarled and crooked tree called autism. People with AS tend to be highly intelligent or creative or both, but socially inept to an extreme (and, as this book shows, sometimes hilarious) degree. Some of them, like Jerry Newport, are savants who have...

A Guide to Haunted New England: Tales from Mount Washington to the Newport Cliffs (Haunted America) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have read this book from front to back 3 times since I have purchased it. The book is very informative to our surroundings which I didn't know about. The writing attracts your attention and won't let you escape from the reading. I hope Mr. D'Agostino keeps writing books like these, because I will gladly...

(Reprint) 1973 Yearbook: Homer L. Ferguson High School, Newport News, Virginia Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Reprint" is extremely misleading for this item. Rather, it was a very poor less-than-xerox level black and white copy of each page of the Yearbook with print or photographs near the inside binder of the original smudged, illegible or missing entirely. Also, the copy scale is approx. 75%, rather than...

The Newport Name in History Review

Save your money.Click Here to see more reviews about: The Newport Name in HistoryThis book is part of the Our Name in History series, a collection of fascinating facts and statistics, alongside short historical commentary,...

Touched by the Dragon: Experiences of Vietnam Veterans from Newport County, Rhode Island Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)For Christmas, I sent a copy to my old First Sergeant in Alabama. His wife couldn't believe that he hardly put the book down until he had finished reading it. He wants another copy so he can donate it to the local library. I also sent a copy to a cousin of mine in Illinois, who is a Nam Vet. His e-mail...
