I can remember again!.......2006-03-04

Janet Decker's Hypnosis for Memory and Recall is the first hypnosis CD I've ever used. A good friend of mine recommended it to me when I was complaining of taking a very intensive on-line computer course. I was very frustrated with difficulties involving my short-term memory and passing the tests in my course. My course involves in-depth medical training with lots of details and problem-solving in my tests. I tried every study aid I could think of, to no avail, and I was developing a very bad case of test anxiety. And I was always the "Straight A Girl" in college before. I ordered Janet Decker's Hypnosis for Memory and Recall out of desperation and fear of failing my course due to my poor memory. First of all, the CD is very relaxing and my chronic back pain is always gone by the time I finish the program. When I listen to the CD, I am pleasantly floating, but fully aware of sounds in my environment and am able to respond fully if there is a problem. I am also fully aware of Janet Decker's words of affirmation about my memory, even though I don't have to concentrate to "take them in". The words just flow and her voice is quite soothing. At the end of the CD, Ms. Decker brings me back to a fully awake state and fully refreshed. Second of all, after a couple of days, I didn't notice any change. But I kept with the CD, just to see what would happen. After about 2 weeks, when I was starting a new section in my computer course, I realized that I was remembering details in an amazing way. I mean, we're talking details about treatment of illnesses, side effects of different medications, interactions of laboratory blood work values with illness, and how to calculate medication dosages, to name a few. I was definitely "sharper". Somehow it's all easier. I was thinking, "This thing is working". And it continues to do so. I keep using my Memory and Recall CD and I keep getting better at making connections in my studies and am able to problem-solve situations brought up in my course that require more higher level thinking than just memory. I didn't know I was at all receptive to hypnosis. But it's working beautifully. Thank you, Janet Decker......From "Straight-A-Again",in Brandon, Florida.

Five Stars!.......2003-08-06

I really liked this CD. I first bought the Sleep CD and it helped me so much, that I thought I'd try another one. At work, I am responsible for a million little details and I have found that since I started using the Memory CD, I can perform my duties much more efficiently! I would recommend this CD to almost anyone!

Chicago private investigator V.I. Warshawski returns in an exceptionally well-plotted thriller that focuses attention on V.I.'s longtime friend Lotty Herschel. In a handful of chapters that punctuate the contemporary narrative, the Austrian-born physician tells her own story. More than just a device to draw the many threads of this complex novel together, Lotty's history illuminates the depth and complexity of a character that readers of Sara Paretsky's many books-- like V.I. herself--only thought they knew.

At a conference on the recovery of Holocaust assets, a man named Paul Radbuka surfaces, claiming to be part of the past that Lotty left buried in war-torn Europe half a century ago. The aging Lotty is emotionally shattered. She has never talked to V.I. about those years following her escape from Austria--her youth as an orphaned teenager in England and the brilliant medical career that ultimately brought her to America. But Radbuka's claims have such a dramatic effect on her that V.I. feels compelled to investigate him. Radbuka's early life in a concentration camp has recently come back to him, aided by the ministrations of a recovered-memory therapist. Now he's demanding that Lotty and her friend Max, another émigré, acknowledge his connection to them, something neither is prepared to do. Is Radbuka really who he claims to be? And if he's the impostor Lotty says he is, why is she so terrified of him?

V.I.'s efforts to pin down Radbuka's identity dovetail with another case, that of a client with a beef against an insurance company that's trying to keep the state legislature from passing a Holocaust Asset Recovery Act. It's a little too tidy for coincidence, but since it gives Paretsky a chance to show off her knowledge of Chicago politics, the reader is delighted to accept it. While it's Lotty's voice that brings the dead to life and the past into the present, it's V.I.'s dogged perseverance and abiding affection for her friend that drive this powerful, brilliantly executed novel to a conclusion. This is one of Paretsky's strongest outings in years. --Jane Adams

Book Description

The bestselling V.I. Warshawski novels have dazzled readers and earned the acclaim of critics everywhere. “V.I. Warshawski rules,” writes Newsweek, crowning her “the most engaging woman in detective fiction.” Of V.I.’s creator, the Chicago Tribune says “Sara Paretsky has no peer.”

Now Paretsky brings her incomparable storytelling brilliance to her most powerful Warshawski novel yet. Total Recall follows the Chicago P.I. on a road that winds back more than fifty years — and into an intricate maze of wartime lies, heartbreaking secrets, and harrowing retribution.

For V.I., the journey begins with a national conference in downtown Chicago, where angry protesters are calling for the recovery of Holocaust assets. Replayed on the evening news is the scene of a slight man who has stood up at the conference to tell an astonishing story of a childhood shattered by the Holocaust — a story that has devastating consequences for V.I.’s cherished friend and mentor, Lotty Herschel.

Lotty was a girl of nine when she emigrated from Austria to England, one of a group of children wrenched from their parents and saved from the Nazi terror just before the war broke out. Now stunningly — impossibly — it appears that someone from that long-lost past may have returned.

With the help of a recovered-memory therapist, Paul Radbuka has recently learned his true identity. But is he who he claims to be? Or is he a cunning impostor who has usurped someone else’s history ... a history Lotty has tried to forget for over fifty years?

As a frightened V.I. watches her friend unravel, she sets out to help in the only way she can: by investigating Radbuka’s past. Already working on a difficult case for a poor family cheated of their life insurance, she tries to balance Lotty’s needs with her client’s, only to find that both are spiraling into a whirlpool of international crime that stretches from Switzerland and Germany to Chicago’s South Side.

As the atrocities of the past reach out to engulf the living, V.I. struggles to decide whose memories of a terrible war she can trust, and moves closer to a chilling realization of the truth — a truth that almost destroys her oldest friend.

With fierce emotional power, Sara Paretsky has woven a gripping and morally complex novel of crime and punishment, memory and illusion. Destined to become a suspense classic, Total Recall proves once again the daring and compelling genius of Sara Paretsky.

Definitely the best in the series so far.......2007-03-18

Sara Paretsky's tough-as-nails detective Victoria Iphigenia Warshawski (V I to us, and Vic to her friends) has been getting better and better with each entry in this series, and "Total Recall" keeps that ball rolling.

As a previous reviewer has made clear, this is a V I Warshawski novel, but it's really the story of her friend and mentor, Lotty Herschel MD. One of the two main threads of the story deals with Lotty's escape from Nazi Germany before things really went sour, and her life as a young woman in the England of that era. There is something in that past that is somehow related to the sudden appearance in the present day of a man named Paul Radbuka, who claims to have escaped from the Nazis in a manner similar to Lotty, and was supposedly raised by a man who may have been an escaped Nazi war criminal. Now he's searching for his past and for his real family, but it's rather obvious that the man is somewhat nuts, and it doesn't help matters that he's enlisted the help of a Dr Laura clone who makes the real one look normal by comparison.

That part of the story (Rabuka's claims) is never really resolved, but what's important is the memories and emotions they stir up in Lotty, and Vic's attempts to help her friend. Along the way we see just how deep the friendship is between these two women, and that each would do literally anything within the bounds of reason and (most times) the law to help the other.

The other main thread of the story deals with a new client named Isaiah Sommers, who hires Vic to find out how an insurance company paid out a death claim on his aunt years before she actually died. The case and Vic's progression on it progresses slowly and logically, although you won't believe for a minute how the two threads end up twining together - I literally screamed out "plot device!" when I realized what Paretsky was doing.

But that aside, this is still a well-written and excellent entry in a series that has only improved with time. I look forward to my next V I novel.

Torture.......2007-02-11

I have been attempting to read this book for two months. I refused to put it away without finishing it. But, the thought of reading it was torture. It is soooo slow paced and drawn out. I feel like the real story could have been told in half the time. Did I really need to hear about how she juggles her time in the car between time on the cell phone. How about her time at a diner while on the cell phone. I mean really? Why should my time be wasted on this?

Work will make you free.......2006-06-23

Lotty was in England right after the war. She had started her medical training. She went on an eight months leave, supposedly with tuberculosis. Work for her was salvation, a narcotic. The Germans had placed over the gates of Auschwitz the slogan that work will make you free. She boarded with a family in North London and studied hard to, perhaps, redeem her mother's life.

Shifting to the present, Lotty calls upon our heroine, V.I. Warshawski, to babysit for friend Max's five year old grandchild, Calia. (The relationship of the childless V.I. to the child is a good touch here.) V.I. has to tell a journalist that she doesn't think Lotty wants to talk with him. She has a client with an inquiry to Ajax Insurance Company. Ajax may be subject to claims from Holocaust survivors, too.

Next a television interview covers the subject of the recovered memory syndrome and an alleged Holocaust survivor. Lotty feels guilt at not respecting her Yiddish speaking paternal grandparents from Belarus. In England Lotty stayed with a relative, Minna, who made her feel ugly. When Lotty left Vienna to stay with Minna she didn't realize she wouldn't see her family again. She and her brother Hugo were part of the Kindertransport program.

The therapist V.I. and the others saw on television wants to write a book to show that memories are reliable. It seems an insurance payment was made earlier on V.I.'s client's case prior to the death of the insured through error, deception, or misappropriation. The issue of reparations for African-Americans for slavery and payment to Holocaust survivors intersect in the Ajax case.

It seems an English girl, Claire, befriended Lotty. The recovered memory individual, Paul Radbuka, crashes Max's party under a notion that Max and Lotty are members of his family. Max and another individual at the party, Carl, were part of a group with Lotty of Kindertransport persons connected to each other in England and now, many years later, in Chicago. They had developed a very close bond with each other.

In the end this is a convoluted tale of secrets, secrets about Lotty and others. Books by Sara Paretsky simply get better and better.

Mixed at best.......2005-11-22

I agree with those who didn't much like this book. Paretsky tries to bring together three threads -- a murder mystery around an insurance scam; a mystery as to whether a man who has been subjected to "recovered memory" therapy is who he thinks he is, and the story of a victim of the holocaust. The connections are at best coincidental, and the first teo stories are unconvincing and frequently dull. I did, however, really enjoy the third story (which makes up about 20% of the book) and found it very touching.

One other thing. I didn't read the book but listened to the audio tape. The narrator did a superb job, and I think made the hearing richer than reading would have been.

If I am not me, den who da hell am I?.......2005-04-20

If I could give this book no stars, I would. There is no Arnold, no Mars and no three-breasted alien women in this book and is totally undeserving of the name Total Recall. Avoid at all costs.

Customer Reviews:

typical drivel.......2005-09-18

This book, while promising some interesting reading, is written and edited (or collected) by authors having little literary endearment. The scenarios seemed trite and second-hand and only sightly interesting, but even so, very contrived. I would question the authors intent, as a work such as this seemed quite outside their actual fields of knowledge and creative ability, whether fact or fiction.

Exciting ideas ..........2003-07-06

This book is about real people, in real situations. Everything from experimenting with the same sex to the taboo or interracial sex, it is one book that inspires one to try new things. 'Nuff said.

Exciting Read into "real" peoples sex lives!.......2001-08-04

I recommend this book. It is a small book but at a good price. Although, I am divorced right now I believe this will help me in the future when I meet the right man. I can take some ideas in my marriage that I didn't have before with my first marriage. One needs to be open-minded about Sex.

Just too contrived.......1999-06-08

While the back cover of the book boasts that the stories are "absolutely true!", I don't believe it. They are just too contrived, as some of the other reviewers have already stated. I was hoping for something arousing, and instead I got something formulaic.

WOW.......1999-04-12

This book is wonderfully written in the storytellers own words. I'd have to pick April's Dream as the most exciting and erotic. It is nice to hear a dream can come true.

This book is written in a similar style to Dickens's works. The author was one of Dickens's children. Classic-lovers will love it but people who are not into that style will generally not prefer it.

My review.......2002-04-29

it's a bit boring and was written by one of Charles Dickens's children. Most classic lovers will probbaly enjoy it.

Product Description

Donnie Allison was always the "other" brother of the famous NASCAR racing duo. Overshadowed throughout his career by Bobby Allison, his older brother and the third-winningest driver in NASCAR history, Donnie often did not get his due for being an outstanding racer in his own right. Perhaps only true students of NASCAR history know that Donnie Allison won 10 races in his career. That he posted top 10 finishes in 47 percent of all the races he ever ran. That four of the five times the Allison brothers ran 1-2 in a race, it was Donnie in front at the checkers. Fewer still may know that he was rookie of the year in the 1970 Indianapolis 500 or that he seriously considered giving up stockcar racing to go drive Indy cars full-time for A.J. Foyt. So little is known about Donnie Allison in part because he wasn't much of a talker in his racing days. Donnie lived by the philosophy that his driving did his talking for him. If he won, it told people he was successful. If he didn't, well they knew he had something to work on. Over the years, his being so tight-lipped led to many misconceptions, twisted tales and outright falsehoods about Donnie Allison, his racing career and his life. In Donnie Allison: As I Recall..., he sets the record straight on a variety of subjects he's wanted to clear up for years, including the 1979 Daytona 500 and the famous fight in the infield with Cale Yarborough; the win NASCAR tried to steal from him and give to Richard Petty; and his ultra-competitive, often-combative relationship with a racing brother who didn't like to lose to anybody. Many stories make the rounds about Donnie Allison and often when they are re-told - even by members of his own family - the circumstances aren't related the way Donnie recalls them. That's why he wanted to do a book. "I've got lots of stories to tell, and I want to tell them the way I remember them," Donnie says. In Donnie Allison: As I Recall..., he's done just that.

Customer Reviews:

I had hoped for more.......2007-03-03

I had hoped for more in this book. I respect the Allison family. They have contributed much to NASCAR. Over 100 wins from the Allison family alone. (Davey was my favorite driver.) To me, the book comes off as Donnie complaining about his second tier status to Bobby, and preaching about how things should have been. The book definitely has some interesting moments, though, and I would recommend it to anyone who is a die-hard Alabama Gang fan. I just found the book to sound 'preachy'. Telling Bobby how he should have run his life, and how history should record his contributions to racing. To be sure, Donnie has contributed much to racing, with his 10 NASCAAR wins, but the book was a small disappointment to me. It sounded like Donnie felt like he had never made a mistake - and we're all human. However, all things considered, I'm glad to have the book in my library of 300+ racing books. If you are a long time NASCAR fan, you will want this book in your collection. If not, you could probably spend your money better else-where.

Well Donnie, as I recall..........2006-12-30

...you were a race car driver, not a writer. And it shows.

I'm not sure I learned much more about Donnie that I didn't already know before I read his book (double negative intended). But putting that aside, the writing of the book leaves a lot to be desired. I noticed at least 3 factual and/or editing errors: (1) he says Richard Petty won his 4th Daytona 500 in 1979 when in fact it was his 6th (2) a photo of Donnie in victory lane at Talladega in his Hawaiian Tropic uniform is captioned as being from 1971. Donnie did win at Dega in 71, but the photo is from his 77 win. (3) He says his brother Bobby's final win came in the 87 Firecracker 400. Apparently Donnie's recollections aren't very good, because he obviously forgot about Bobby's stirring victory over his son, Davey, the following February in the 1988 Daytona 500.

Donnie's co-writer, Jimmy Creed, acknowledged that this book wass his first. Again, it shows...and not in a positive way. The book doesn't really have chapters. Instead, it reads as if a series of blogs or journals have been thrown together one right after the other. The book jumps around different times/eras without explanation. Certain facts/statements are repetitively made (OK, I get it Donnie. Your brother has 84 wins & is tied with DW. You don't need to tell me 3 & 4x.) And every racing nickname (and there are a bunch of them) are constantly framed with quotation marks. One time - sure, I understand. But "Junior" Johnson, "Banjo" Matthews, "Red" Farmer, etc. don't need quotation marks beginning with reference #2.

With improved flow, editing, and content, this book might be worth a read. As it is, however, I'd encourage others to pick it up only if you are a die-hard Allison fan or can find it used for a very low cost.

Not bad, but wanted more.......2006-03-28

I've read a few Bobby Allison books and was hoping this book would be as good. The book flowed well and had some nice pictures. When I was done though it left me wanting more. Unlike the Fireball Roberts book I just finished (I was just happy that one was over) this book left me wanting to hear more about the "other" Allison. Donnie tells it like it is and it don't matter if it's about other drivers, his brother Bobby or nephew Davey. For a man that didn't talk much during his career this was a pretty good book. Talks about the 1979 Daytona 500 (of course) as well as his early days in racing through the DiGard problems and Hoss Ellington wins and winds down after a wreck just about eneded his career.

Book Description

Bitter Medicine (Director: Ruth Bloomquist; Engineer: Melissa Coates): Chicago private eye V. I. Warshawski knows from the start that Consuelo Alvarado's baby is trouble. Consuelo is sixteen. Diabetic. And the daughter of a friend. When she goes into labor too early, even V. I.'s wild drive to get her to the hospital can't save either Consuelo or her child. Soon V. I. is investigating possible malpractice at the emergency room - and falling for a doctor who works there.

Total Recall (Director: Laural Merlington; Engineer: Melissa Coates): In Total Recall, Sara Paretsky brings together several disparate plots in one gripping story. This powerfully suspenseful novel confronts the machinations of a vast and corrupt industry that trades on the victims of Nazi terrorism; the strange and dubious phenomenon of "recovered memory;" and a personal story that brings V. I. Warshawski into the long-buried past of her dearest friend and mentor, Dr. Lotty Herschel.

Blacklist (Director: Laural Merlington; Engineer: Melissa Coates): Eager for something physical to do in the spirit-exhausting wake of 9/11, V. I. accepts a request from an old client to check up on an empty family mansion; subsequently surprises an intruder in the dark; and, giving chase, topples into a pond. Grasping for something to hold on to, her fingers close around a lifeless human hand.

It is the body of a reporter who had been investigating events of forty-five years earlier, and V. I.'s discovery quickly sucks her into the history of two great Chicago families - their fortunes intertwined by blood, sex, money, and the scandals that may or may not have resulted in murder all these years later.
