Fame.......2007-06-15
Good clean reading. Makes you want to go on to the next one right away.
Heart tugging.......2006-08-30
Karen Kingsbury has done it again. Everytime I read one book, I anticipate another episode to make me think twice and draws me closer to the love of God. My whole life started changing as I read the Redemption series. I am on my 14th book and each one makes me laugh, cry and think Oh how marvelous it is to have Christ in my life.
Fame.......2006-07-11
I have read the Redemption series and am now reading the Firstborn series. Each book is better than the last. I am anxiously looking forward to the next release. I would highly recommend these books!
Wonderful, again.......2006-01-20
I loved it. I was sad when she finished the series about the Baxter family. I picked up Forgiven and then realized I had missed the first in a new series. Of course, I had to go back and get Fame. My only complaint is that Katy Hart's name was Jami Hart in the original series!
Fame (Firstborn).......2005-10-26
Another AWESOME book from my favorite author, Karen Kingsbury. She never ceases to amaze me and she captures my attention from page 1. When I read her stories, I get so involved in them, it's like I know the characters personally!!! Strongly recommend...but you would do yourself justice to start with her Redemption series. Although, you don't need to read the previous ones in order to follow this book and fall in love with it!

This is jump start your business!.......2007-09-24
This book was recommended to me by two different people. I looked for it in my library, they didn't have it, so when it was recommended to me again, two years later, by another successful friend, I thought, why not!
I am definitely glad I made this purchase. It is full of great ideas and direction. It covers all topics and if you really follow their direction you can really make an impact in your business!
A Marked Improvement of a Classic Marketing Book.......2007-08-08
When the first edition of Steven Van Yoder's GET SLIGHTLY FAMOUS hit the streets, I was thrilled to read a marketing book that was both strategic and practical in terms of developing a marketing plan to support my business. Steven's matter-of-fact but urgent call to get clear about your marketing platform stood out amongst a sea of writers all singing the praises of having a niche. The difference? Steven used a methodical and well-conceived approach and filled the book with case studies to validate his points. He also provided a plethora of ideas and additional resources so any reader could go forth and create a cohesive marketing plan.
Fast forward several years and now we have the second edition of Yoder's work. In the new version, Steven offers insights on how to leverage the fast-paced Internet 2.0 environment and how to make use of your excecutive thought leadership in terms of both an internal and external branding strategy. Steven also addresses the importance of cause marketing, something any entrepreneur, CEO or Marketing Director needs to pro-actively think about in the new global marketplace.
If you're just starting your business or you need a refresher course on how to develop a multi-tiered and multifaceted marketing plan. then GET SLIGHTLY FAMOUS is the one resource you need for major inspiration and highly useful advice.
Great ideas, very inspiring!! Makes you want to WORK MORE!.......2007-07-25
I liked this book a lot, tons of great ideas, very inspiring and motivating! It's not like I need to work more.. but I had to stop reading this book while I was on vacation, because it would make me want to jump back to my computer!!! I would suggest this to all new entrepreneurs as well as seasoned business owners, it's got great suggestions for all those with a small advertising budget (like me).
Featured in local News Story 1 WEEK AFTER READING THIS BOOK!.......2007-06-08
I never realized how easy it was to get my name or my companies name out in the media. Whether it be a local magazine or paper, radio or talk show, this book not only shows you WHAT YOU NEED TO DO, but HOW TO DO IT!
Every few pages throughout the book there are short articles on Real-World Success Stories as well as Tips from Successful Marketing Gurus. I found the chapter on Press Releases especially helpful. I followed the advice, wrote my press release and within ONE WEEK! was featured in a local news story.
Fast read, and very informative. Check it out!
FAST!.......2007-05-06
EXCELLENT SERVICE! RECEIVED THE BOOK, THE DAY AFTER I ORDERED IT! WAS VERY HAPPY AND IMPRESSED!

If you own only one anthology of classic science fiction, it should be The Science Fiction Hall of Fame: Volume One, 1929-1964. Selected by a vote of the membership of the Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA), these 26 reprints represent the best, most important, and most influential stories and authors in the field. The contributors are a Who's Who of classic SF, with every Golden Age giant included: Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, John W. Campbell, Robert A. Heinlein, Fritz Leiber, Cordwainer Smith, Theodore Sturgeon, and Roger Zelazny. Other contributors are less well known outside the core SF readership. Three of the contributors are famous for one story--but what stories!--Tom Godwin's pivotal hard-SF tale, "The Cold Equations"; Jerome Bixby's "It's a Good Life" (made only more infamous by the chilling Twilight Zone adaptation); and Daniel Keyes's "Flowers for Algernon" (brought to mainstream fame by the movie adaptation, Charly).
The collection has some minor but frustrating flaws. There are no contributor biographies, which is bad enough when the author is a giant; but it's especially sad for contributors who have become unjustly obscure. Each story's original publication date is in small print at the bottom of the first page. And neither this fine print nor the copyright page identifies the magazines in which the stories first appeared.
Prefaced by editor Robert Silverberg's introduction, which describes SFWA and details the selection process, The Science Fiction Hall of Fame: Volume One, 1929-1964 is a wonderful book for the budding SF fan. Experienced SF readers should compare the table of contents to their library before making a purchase decision. Fans who contemplate giving this book to non-SF readers should bear in mind that, while several of the collected stories can measure up to classic mainstream literary stories, the less literarily-acceptable stories are weighted toward the front of the collection; adult mainstream-literature fans may not get very far into The Science Fiction Hall of Fame: Volume One, 1929-1964. --Cynthia Ward

"Country of the Kind," by Damon Knight, is a frightening portrayal of biological mutation. "Nightfall," by Isaac Asimov, one of the greatest stories in the science fiction field, is the story of a planet where the sun sets only once every millennium and is a chilling study in mass psychology.Originally published in 1970 to honor those writers and their stories that had come before the institution of the Nebula Awards, The Science Fiction Hall Of Fame, Volume One, was the book that introduced tens of thousands of young readers to the wonders of science fiction.

Tag line does not exaggerate.......2007-05-09
I've purchased this book in paperback and hardcover many times over because I keep giving copies away. This is an indespensible introduction to the art of writing short fiction, sci-fi style. Character studies, logic puzzles, future societies, deaths of civilizations, it's all in here. Emphatically recommended.
Pure Gold.......2007-05-08
My Mom had a dog eared paperback copy of this book from her college days. I remember reading and rereading it as a young boy. It, more than any other book, ignited my passion for science fiction. Every story is a winner and each serves as a jumping off point to explore the author's further work. Of all the SF anthologies, this is the best and is an essential part of any SF fan's library.
good book at a good price in mint condition.......2007-05-07

Mostly great.......2007-05-04
Most of the stories in hear are fantastic. The intro also includes a listing of the 20 best voted scifi short stories, which I found myself refering to to see if I could relate to the 'experts' opinions. There are a few stinkers in the bunch, which I'm sure is inevitable, but probably not as many as you'd find as in other collections.
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
A fine collection of stories.......2007-03-22
This is another great introduction to science fiction for the "non sci-fi fan." This compilation (as noted in the title) features novellas rather than short stories, so the "commitment" to dive into these stories is a bit more of a factor than something Volume One (of the same series title). Be that as it may, the stories you will find here are highly intriguing and quickly draw you into the drama of their world, which is really your world just a little down the road. "Who Goes There" is on of the more popular titles of this collection, but far from the ONLY story here that will capture your interest. Each of these are stories you can read several times over, and still get goosebumps. This is a great collection bound up in one volume, carefully assembled by an expert editor, who knows to let the stories tell themselves without any excess interference.
A decent anthology.......2007-01-05
Not particularly noteworthy, but nonetheless a good addition to one's scifi library, especially one lacking any other series of anthologies.
A must read for SF fans........2006-06-11
This anthology includes my personal favorites: The tale of a dumbed down society in "The Marching Morons" by C.M. Kornbluth, and "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell, Jr. "Who Goes There" is beyond excellent ~ I still get nightmares ~ and was the basis for both films titled "The Thing." Isaac Asimov opines in his biography "I, Asimov" that "Who Goes There?" is the finest science fiction story ever written. I tend to agree.
Classic Stories.......2005-10-05
I read this book many years ago and to this day several of the short stories stick in my mind. So when looking for a good book for my wife to read, I thought this was the perfect choice. Unfortunately, I didn't have a copy. So I was overjoyed to see this book being reprinted and eagerly ordered a copy.
Look for "Who Goes There" which is the short story the movie "Thing" was based upon.
Landmarks of Science Fiction.......2005-01-21
You'd never guess from looking at the bookstore shelves today, but collections of short works like these used to be the mainstay of science fiction. Tor Books deserves kudos for bringing this collection of classic novellas from sf's Golden Age back into print, and in hardcover, too, with Volume 2B presumably still to come.
The novella, longer than a short story, shorter than a full novel, is the ideal length for science fiction, providing enough room for an author to present an idea and work through all its implications, without the padding that often seems obligatory for marketing purposes today.
This book includes key works by some of the field's biggest names from the 1940s and 50s. Most will probably be new to anyone who started reading science fiction after the 1980s, including Campbell's "Who Goes There", filmed twice as "The Thing" but much creepier in print, and Lester del Rey's "Nerves", which pre-dated Three Mile Island and Chernobyl by decades.
While the science may have dated, these are still terrific stories.

Take a twisted look at what can happen offscreen as Star navigates the rocky shoals of life and love as the world's most unintentional superstar. Bestselling authors Pamela Anderson and Eric Shaw Quinn are back with their latest installment on the life of their fictional alter ego and their twisted take on stardom. The editorial advice of writer/director Gerry Anderson -- Pam's brother -- who not only added a lot of joy to the editing process in the writing of this book, also helped shape Star Stuck into a raw and unexpected take on stardom. "
Customer Reviews:
A great read.......2007-05-16
If you read the first book you will definitely enjoy this sequel. Pamela Anderson adds a lot of personality to her characters and some of the story line is not so far off from her real life.
AHHH Pamela! You are too good! .......2007-01-29
This book is fiction, but you can tell that she uses real life experiences to add to the fun. This book was a quick read and kept me entertained. I would recommend to any fan.
Disappointing.......2007-01-21
The book started off great. Steamy and hot at the beginning. Once Jimi and Star had their abrupt meeting with an unwelcome photographer, it just went down hill from there. I did not like the character of Jimi at all!! In Pamela Anderson's first book Star, Star Wood Leigh was a loveable character with a lot of zing! In Star Struck, Jimi turned out to be a self-centered, spoiled, immature, perverted a**hole and took Star down with him. I was hoping the second book would be as fun as the first, but I was terribly disappointed. It was as though Pam Anderson just quickly threw the ending together just to get it done and over with. I did not feel the energy at the end. It wasn't even original! I was never a Pam Anderson fan untill I read her first book. I thought the second book would be just as good. I hope she writes a 3rd book and makes it fresh with that original zing.
Hard to believe, but it is worse than the first.......2006-10-06
You can read my review of Star and find out how I was tricked into reading that by a bookstore employee. Unfortunately, my husband remembered seeing that book on the shelves and decided I might enjoy the sequel. WRONG!!! I couldn't get past the first two chapters. There are far too many sex scenes in the first two chapters alone. Nobody could possibly be as stupid as Star. It is horrible. I swear that some of my brain leaked out of my head when I read those two chapters.
Much better than the first.......2006-10-04
It's very weird when you say you prefer a book's sequel to the original. I wasn't too fussed really over Pammy's first book "Star", I've kept it, but never picked up again to re-read it.
I've had "Star Struck" on my wishlist for quite a while, and came across it in the shop on the boat while on holiday. I probably paid over the odds for it, but it was in euros, so it probably worked out at the same price. I had originally started another book about the Titanic, but couldn't get into it, so started reading this instead.
"Star Struck" drew me into the world of Star straight away, and had a tight grip of me throughout the whole book. In fact, I finished it within a couple of hours. It's more of a novella, had it been in smaller type, with not so big margins, but it's a terrific read, much better than Star.
What really shocked me about this book, was reading the acknowledgements, that Pammy does a lot of thing a lot of authors/celebrities DON'T do when writing their biographies/book: they don't admit to using a ghost writer. Pammy does this quite happily and I applaud her for this. For some reason, they don't like admitting they use a ghost writer. Cos of course, we all believe all they do is sit around all day typing away, or doing a JK, and handwriting it! (That must be painful.) She probably gets final approval of anything that goes into it, but you can tell a lot came from her life. She met & married Tommy Lee (or Jimi Deeds in the book) within 3 days of meeting him; she had a miscarriage on the set of Barb Wire (or Hy Voltz); that infamous video and lots more beside.
The book has a lot of sex scenes in it, and coming from Pammy, she certainly knows a lot. (We also discover that Jimi - probably like Tommy - is very well endowed, hello!) Every chapter has at least one scene like this.
Towards the end of the book, it does leave it open ended, for a possible third in the trilogy (I hope so!), but it also turns into out a bit similar to Thelma & Louise. (Oooh, did that give the ending away?) It certainly kept me turning the pages, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I might be persuaded to read them both again, and maybe even change my original review of Star.
Book Description
A prismatic portrait of our national obsession with celebrity, in the tradition of Fast Food Nation and Blink For several years, Jake Halpern has reported on Hollywood for NPR's All Things Considered. In his new book, he explores the fascinating and often dark implications of America's obsession with fame. Why do more people watch the ultimate competition for celebrityhood, American Idol, than watch the nightly news on the three major networks combined? Why do seemingly normal, educated people care about Paris Hilton's dating life? Why do teenage girls - when given the option of pressing a magic button and becoming either stronger, smarter, famous, or more beautiful - overwhelmingly opt for fame? Halpern answers these and other questions by traveling to America's fame factories and profiling a colorful and surprisingly insightful cast of characters, including diehard fans, aspiring stars, and celebrities like Rod Stewart and U2's The Edge. Interspersing these stories with new research including original findings from his own fame survey. Halpern helps us understand how psychology, technology, evolution, and profit conspire to make us so enthralled with the world of red carpets and velvet ropes.
Customer Reviews:
Just a little disappointed.......2007-08-25
After reading you will never work in this town again - I was a little disappointed when reading this book. My own expectations were not what the book was about. If anyone is interested in Hollywood and every wannabe trying to get there you will love this book -
America's Obsession.......2007-07-20
Fame Junkies addresses America's obsession with fame/infamy and the dear price our youth pays for attention. A Pew study discovers that those aged 18 to 25 view fame as their second highest goal in life. Halpern's study asks and answers the question "why" by providing clear insights into America's youth and its quest for its fifteen minutes. He studies the psychology and sociology of our young people's lack of self-esteem and the need for attention/approval. Fame Junkies provides great insight into American culture and shed lights on why we are what we are.
Must-Read for Teenagers--and Their Parents.......2007-07-07
This book is a wonderfully written exploration of the inner--and outer--lives of people who want to be famous, which (it seems) is almost everyone.
It's a page-turner for the generally curious but essential reading for parents of today's teens--nearly one-third of whom evidently believe that they personally will be famous someday! This book is the best couple of hours any teen's parent could spend studying up on their contemporary child's inner life.
Americans of all ages seem to think that fame will cure loneliness, sadness, self-hatred, and shame. Halpern's personal research and his exposition of the work of social scientists show modern media culture from a very rare place of sanity, clarity, and emotional truth.
This book is actually more entertaining than the phenomena ("American Idol") it describes. Given the interlocking nature of media today, it's a miracle Halpern found a publisher, but fortunately, he did.
An uncomfortable, embarrassing but NECESSARY read for those who dream.......2007-06-05
My goodness...the sainted Mr. Halpern doesn't half step in this book! He takes the mirror and the lights and turns it on "wannabees" full force and you see the not-so-glamourous and somewhat corrupt world of show biz. He exposes the "sins" of fans, sycophants and wage slaves to the famous, too.
Gee, isn't it's so easy nowadays to pick on celebrity fandom. Fans are easy targets. Never mind the people who are addicted to NASCAR, a sport that wastes MILLIONS of dollar in petroleum every week, and whose fans behave like illmannered bores...Get those teenagers who dare to go for their dreams instead of hanging on a street corner dealing drugs!
I must admit that some of the stuff in the book seemed judgmental and stereotypical to me. In fact, at times it made me feel angry and defensive because I have been involved in form of celebrity fandom or another for at least 35 years, but I don't act like some of the examples of rabid fans he puts out as examples. However, as I continued to read...I did begin to see myself in this book. Yes, I was one of those "lonely" picked on kids growing up in the housing projects in a large rust belt city...but then so was Oprah Winfrey...and now look at her! Yeah, I, just like those kids, onced dreamed for the day I could leave, go to Hollywood, and be loved, be happy and free from racism. No I didn't quite make it to Hollywood, but I AM a singer/songwriter living in the Northwest...and I'm thankful I had my fame dreams because those dreams sustained me and kept me out of trouble and off the street.
So sometimes fandom and celebrity admiration is a good thing...provided you pick the right role model :)
Yes,this book was a bit uncomfortable to read at points, but then by reading through, I realized that I'm not alone (or crazy) because of this tendency to want to form parasocial relationships with the famous...or perhaps still try to be famous myself even at an age (almost 50) when some would say it's neither realistic nor appropriate.
Mind you, this book will NOT make people turn their backs en masse on H'wood or give up their dreams, no matter how "unrealistic" they seem...in fact, if anything, it may make people want to prove to the author and to themselves...but I'M DIFFERENT or I'm the "Exception" but of course, you're really not!
Still, I found it helpful to read this book...if only to help me to understand why we who identify as fans and/or aspiring artists are attracted us to the "bright lights" in the first place...
so if Mr. Halpern has accomplished anything, it is bringing awareness, so then maybe it will help us all think more about our behaviors and how it affects not only the stars, but the "everyday people" around us...and perhaps maybe help us make better choices as what we turn our passions and talents to. As for me, I'm still going to pursue my rock and roll dream, but am keeping it local...and in perspective lol.
American's - addicted to fame or not?.......2007-04-06
This book is great. It contains stats, personal stories and interviews. The premise of the book is whether or not Americans are addicted to fame. The author's use of survey data, statistics and interviews with psychological experts and celebrity industry professionals (insiders), should be enough to prove this assertion.
His in-death exposure of the celebrity world's three subcultures (aspiring child stars, celebrity entourages, and die-hard fans), along with the media (TV reality shows, magazines, tabloids) only further serves to prove his point. Millions are spent each year by aspiring no-talent-self-entitled-attention-seeking-individuals looking for their shot at fame and fortune. Even more millions are made each year by the industry's parasitic con-artists (scouts and agents) who think nothing of giving false hope to these people.
The book makes a comparison between the behavior of people who suffer from addictions (such as drugs, alcohol and gambling) with people who desire fame and fortune. Halpern includes studies about how the brain works (dopamine) in rewarding this behavior and highlights the similarities of self-delusion and the erosion of personal values as these wannabes towards their goal. One could come to the conclusion that people with no talent, spending thousands of dollars to seek fame as a means to acquire better friends, money and prestige at the risk of family, careers, financial hardship and even their marriage are addicted.
The book leans toward the psychological/analytical side with its survey data, stats and studies but contains enough interviews and personal stories to keep the experience real. Two words I never saw in the book (or in any of the other reviews so far) are 'human nature' and 'ego'. Both of which play a key role in our fascination with fame and why it's probably so alluring to each one of us. Its human nature to have a sense of belonging (family, community) but it's also a constant conflict with the ego to standout and `be someone special'.
My immediate thoughts after finishing the book were that of Reviewer J. Leroux (see book reviews). Looks like he and a few others who enjoyed the book 'got it'. While you comfortably sit and read, Jake Halpern takes you on what would normally be a very expensive, exhausting, physical and emotional ride through each dimension of the industry. We need to make more of our lives by giving less time to the spoiled-brat millionaires in Hollywood begging us to watch them and their antics. Open up the good eye, people! Enjoy.

Inside the Mind of a Violent Revolutionary.......2005-06-16
Robert Griffin has done a thorough job of profiling the radical white nationalist Dr. William Pierce. Even Pierce himself questioned whether he had done enough to have a biography written about him, but Griffin has an interest in fringe groups and spends a lot of time covering Pierce's intellectual influences and who Pierce has influenced, as opposed to what Pierce has done. Like a lot of left or right wing extremists, Pierce often advocated the violent overthrow of what he thought was a corrupt order.
Pierce, who is now deceased, would often nurture his violent anger towards those who changed the country during the sixties--jews, blacks, communists, and liberals. This dark side of Pierce was well represented in his two pulp fiction books, The Turner Diaries and Hunter, which dwelled upon getting violent revenge against what he saw as a corrupt government, liberals, race-mixers, jews, and blacks. Timothy McVeigh loved the Turner Diaries for its anti-government message and had a quote from the book among other anti-government quotes from other mainstream sources with him when he was arrested. His connection with Pierce and white nationalists was tenuous.
An earlier violent white nationalist, Bob Matthews, was a member of Pierce's organization and was heavily influenced by the Turner Diaries. He and his compatriots began robbing porno shops and Brinks trucks to finance the revolution. Eventually, he died in a shoot out with a SWAT team. Pierce liked Matthews for being a manly man of action, but advised him that he shouldn't start a revolution before its time, during the education stage. Pierce was somewhat disappointed with the novels because he could still not bring in the professional class of people he wanted with his action-filled pot-boilers. Pierce believed that violent revolution was the only way to achieve what he wanted, a white ethno-state.
Pierce was a smart type of racist that was on the fast track to becoming a full professor in physics, but he began reading about racial topics during the upheaval in the sixties and decided to dedicate his life fully to saving the white race from dispossession. He was heavily influence by G. B. Shaw's play Man and Superman, coming away with the idea that we, as the white race, should focus on improving ourselves, not merely enjoying ourselves, collectively and individually. Pierce decided to "serve the life force" completely in fanatically pursuing his white activist goals after reading Shaw`s play.
Another interesting influence on Pierce was William Gayley Simpson, who became a missionary Christian helping the poor after reading about the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, but after several years of the Lord's work, decided that conditions of the poor could not be improved unless human quality was improved. If human quality is good, the environmental conditions of their living space will be good, if the quality is bad, then the conditions will be bad, despite all help to improve it. Such eugenic philosophies resonated with Pierce's own thinking.
Pierce's weekly social analysis given out over the internet was insightful as far as pointing out the racial double standards of modern western society, which Griffin presents parts of.
Pierce stated that white-on-black crime is often reported repeatedly nationally to instill guilt in whites that they are still racist, but black-on-white crime, which is much more prevalent, is only reported locally and often the race of the victims and perpetrators aren't mentioned and it is often not charged as a hate crime.
Pierce said that during the sixties, opponents to integration and civil rights were almost always shown on TV to be lower class angry rednecks. Higher class and better educated whites with articulate arguments against civil rights and integration were almost never shown on TV. This presentation had a way of manipulating viewers into coming to a decision guided by the media because the viewers would be turned off by the angry redneck. It is the old political tactic of presenting your enemies as stupid.
Pierce also stated that multiculturalism says that it is good for minorities to look out for their own racial interests and have pride in themselves, but whites are strongly discouraged to organize in behalf of their own interests and they are supposed to be ashamed of supposedly being oppressors.
Pierce talked about how the schools don't really teach white kids about their race, heritage, culture, and accomplishments in a positive way and classic and traditional educational texts such as McGuffey Readers and Aesop's Fables have been generally been taken out of the schools, leaving white students de-moralized and rootless.
Pierce was both disturbing and inspiring; forcing those whites who would listen to think about their future and their children`s future and what kind of society the future had in store for whites. But his violent anger had sometimes even his sympathizers calling for him to tone down his message. I'm sure he will live on in the minds of his followers for years to come, although his organization has dwindled, from what I've read, because of the leadership vacuum that occurred because of his death. Griffin does the biography right, laying down the facts cold and letting the reader decide whether Pierce was a good man or not, or something in between. This is also an interesting book on how books affect people in their thoughts and actions--for good or ill.
An interesting book for readers of all viewpoints........2004-07-27
I am not a white racialist. I say this not because I feel the need to issue this disclaimer for Political Correctness, or out of fear that I may be considered such, but to explain my perspective on the life of William Pierce, head of the National Alliance.
My father was an undergraduate student under Dr. Pierce in the early 1960s and to this day doesn't understand how someone who impressed him as the most intelligent man on campus could have gone on to head an organization such as the Alliance.He did, however, feel that Griffin did a thorough and fair job of setting forth Pierce's belief system. I presented him with this book after having read it three times myself, out of sheer fascination with Griffin's superb, elegantly and straightforwardly written text on this enigmatic figure who my father had spoken of many times in our household. Astonishingly, as my father was describing him in awestruck admiration, Pierce was in the thick of conducting a political and organization-building activity that my father-and many if not indeed most educated Americans-would consider repellent and loathsome.
The formation of Pierce's belief system and the process he followed in translating these concepts into action are well described, as is the genesis of the National Alliance, the white racialist organization Pierce founded and which is considered by anti-racist and civil rights organizations to be the most intellectual and the most dangerous of all such outfits. Along the way, I gained an insight into the working of Pierce's mindset, and I think I understand him and his ideas, his worldview, his sense of life as well as one possibly could without having actually known him.
Although I cannot accept his fundamental thesis of White Supremacy for intellectual reasons, I think that to some extent one has to admire the courage of his convictions, because it is incredibly difficult for a bright young academic with early tenure to leave academia and go forth to promote an idea that obviously will make him an absolute pariah among his former colleagues, students, the media, and society in general. Griffin neither makes apologies for Pierce's views, nor the acts of members of Pierce's Alliance;however, he reports them without clouding them with his judgment. The reader understands fully the facts of life about the National Alliance, including the actions of Robert Mathews and his "Order",which apparently made possible much of the National Alliance's access to facilities.
My only complaint is not with the book's content, but with its physical form: my copy had its covers curl up and fray at the edges within days after it arrived, and the spine split shortly thereafter. I had my copy professionally hardbound, but readers should expect that a book will not disintegrate within a few readings.I hope future printings will be bound with a more durable softcover.
Well written, fair, and interesting........2004-06-01
I really enjoyed reading this book. I had always
been curious about Dr. Pierce and didn't know that
much about where he'd come from or how he'd gotten
to be the man he was. This book answered all those
questions and more, and upon finishing it I had
a deeper respect for him.
I like the fact that he comes across as a man with
a sense of humor and a sort of worldliness that often
goes missing in men who take on the issues he took on
in his lifetime. He did not oversimplify things nor
did he work at making things complex in ways that weren't
necessary. I came to appreciate the *way* he thought
about things and the *way* he proceeded with his life
because of reading this book. Because of these things,
I found the book to be personally inspirational.
I was also delighted to find that Robert Griffin did
neither demonize nor glorify Dr. Pierce. I think he
portrayed Dr. Pierce as a man, the personal man being
the source for the public figure; faults and all.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is
curious about Dr. Pierce and doesn't want to read
something that is either fawning or villifying.
Well done, Mr. Griffin.
A Great book about a Great Man.......2004-03-13
Why is it that people who have never read the book, have nothing to contribute to the reviews, are allowed to post things such as hoping that a car hits another person?
Dr. Pierce was yet another person who didn't fit the liberal image of White Nationalists. Dr. Pierce had an IQ that was off the charts, and was capable of debating any subject a person could bring up, in any field. In this book, Dr. Pierce looks back on his life, and gives his view on issues and people associated with White Nationalism. Dr. Pierce did more for the WN movement in America over the last 25 or so years then any man not named David Duke. Even today, when I listen to the archives of his radio broadcasts, and hear that distincitve Hello that he started each broadcast with, I smile. Buy this book if you want a fair and balanced book about Dr. Pierce and White Nationalism.
AN EYE OPENER.......2003-11-20
I read this book over two years ago, and it remains one of my favorites.
Professor Robert Griffin does a great job and an invaluable service to the Late Dr. William Pierce by portraying him in an unbiased way, and without any kind of sarcastic arrogance which characterizes most other works on the topic of white racialism. Dr. William Pierce was not a violent fanatic nor evil racist nut who hid in the hills armed to the teeth with guns and missiles as the controlled media and certain jewish 'human rights' organizations want you to think: Dr. Pierce was a spiritual person who was not corrupted by the stale materialism and diversity of American society. He was incorruptible and actually lived by higher principles that do our present 'leaders', if you can call them that.
Dr. Pierce saw straight into the soul of Western civilization and realized it's successes, failures, potential, and the danger in which it is in today. He strived to reach as many Europeans with his message and inspired them to regain their pride, self-esteem and dignity by removing the blinders of apathy, ignorance and multiculturalism from their eyes and opened them to the naked truth of nature, history and the will to start on the upward path.
Dr. William Pierce's untimely death has been a very sad and shocking occurrence, but he has made us all proud white European men and women much more stronger, and his message will undoubtedly be carried on by those who have the strength, foresight and intelligence to listen. Without Dr. William Pierce, we would surely be in a much worse situation today.
All people of European ancestry should read this book and learn the ultimate truth that to be white and proud is natural, healthy and right, no matter what others say.
Book Description
Lance Armstrong's War is the extraordinary story of greatness pushed to its limits, a vivid, behind-the-scenes portrait of Armstrong—perhaps the most accomplished athlete of our time—as he faces his biggest test: a historic sixth straight victory in the Tour de France, the toughest sporting event on the planet.
Made newly vulnerable by age, fate, fame, doping allegations, and an unprecedented army of challengers, Armstrong fights on all fronts to do what he does like no one else: exert his will to win. That will, which has famously lifted him beyond his humble Texas roots, beyond cancer, and to unparalleled heights of success, is revealed by acclaimed journalist Daniel Coyle in new and startling dimensions.
We see how Armstrong rebuilds after his near-loss in the 2003 Tour, discovering new strategies to cope with his aging body. How he fills the holes in his life after his painful divorce from his wife, Kristin, and the ensuing time apart from his three young children. How he manages the exceedingly difficult trick of being Lance Armstrong—a combination of world-class athlete, celebrity, regular guy, and, for many Americans, secular saint.
But a saint's life it's not. To function at his peak, Armstrong requires what his friends artfully call "stimulus"—and if it's lacking, he won't hesitate to create some. We see Armstrong operating at the turbulent center of a fast-orbiting cast of swaggering Belgian tough guys, controversial Italian sports doctors, piranha-toothed lawyers, and jittery corporations, not to mention a certain female rock star. We see the subtle mind games he plays with himself and with rivals Tyler Hamilton, Jan Ullrich, and Iban Mayo. We see him through the eyes of his teammates, competitors, and friends, and explore his powerful relationship with his mother, Linda. We see what happens three weeks before the Tour, when he's faced with a double challenge: a blowout defeat in an important race and the release of a controversial book seeking to link him to performance-enhancing drugs. And finally we see it all culminate in the Tour de France, where Armstrong will rise to new and unexpected levels of domination.
Along the way, Lance Armstrong's War journeys through the little-known landscape of professional bike racing, a Darwinian world of unsurpassed beauty and brutality, a world teeming with underdogs, gurus, groupies, and wholly original characters, where athletes do not so much choose the sport as the sport chooses them.
Over the season, Armstrong and these characters collide in raw and sometimes violent theater. From the first training camps to the triumphal ride into Paris, Lance Armstrong's War provides a hugely insightful look into the often-inspiring, always surprising core of this remarkable man and the world that shapes him.

After "BIKE" Read "WAR"! See Inside & Out!.......2007-09-25
I had just finished "It's Not About The Bike" when my wife -- a keen cyclist -- turned to me and said, "That's only half the story." She handed me "Lance Armstrong's War." "Here's the other half of the story."
You know a good book when you should be doing other things and... you can't put the book down. Bills don't get paid. E-mails don't get answered. You spend too long in the bathroom. "WAR" is one of those books.
Naturally you need to have some passing fascination with the world of professional cycling. For me it was watching the Tour de France and wanting to know more about how it all worked. Daniel Coyle will lead any interested reader into a fascinating world...
An opera needs to be written about the Tour. The melodrama. The characters. The morality plays. The blood. The guts. The insanity. The money. The doping. The journey. The jeering crowds. The test. The human spirit. Victory and loss. It's all there, a nice thick juicy slice of Life! And a huge bite or two of that slice is in WAR.
On the cover of my copy Sports Illustrated has described WAS as a "literary tour de force." A bit of a snob when it comes to writing I noted to myself, (a) What would Sports Illustrated know about literature? and (b) Daniel Coyle's a SPORTS writer for God's sake!
And... the writing is wonderful. Great character sketches. You'll get all the ins and outs of race strategy, sponsorships, training. You'll see France. You'll get a great glimpse of what Bob (Bobke) Rolls calls Eurotrash. You'll love the wry humor and jaundiced eye. Just wait until you meet the Lance hangers-on, "The Dudes" and "The Bros." Be prepared to LOL.
So if you're at all curious about this fascinating world -- but, like me, are either too old or too wise not to join it (!) -- WAR is Highly Recommended. You're in for a good read.

A Different Side of the Story?.......2007-09-15
I was expecting this to be another story TOLD by Lance, but it was not. I found this to be a more refreshing view on Lance and the Doping Scandles that encircled his Tour De France days.
No matter what my opinion is on Lance and the doping, I found this to be a great read. I learned about some of the "players" in the Cycling media community that are attacking lance's position and character (justified or not), and how the Team operates around the Cycling legend.
Superb Sports writing!.......2007-08-17
This book is one of the finest examples of sports journalism that you're likely to encounter. In some important ways, Lance Armstrong and professional bike racing are almost irrelevant to the reaction this book provokes; the writing is so good that it is almost the "star" of the book.
This is because the author did two things that many-- probably most-- sportswriters don't do: First, he immersed himself in his subject, actually moving his family to the Spanish city where Armstrong and a number of other racers train. While he was there, he became part of the bike racing scene. The result is unprecedented insider access. He interviewed and came to really know dozens of people, not all of whom admire Armstrong. Second, he avoided the two worst afflictions of most modern sports writing, the urge to deify the athletes and the contrary urge to drag them into the gutter.
Bike racing as a sport and many of the bike racers themselves are indeed open to criticism; after all, the current flap over doping at the Tour de France is actually pretty minor compared to the rampant cheating in past races. (My favorite incident of cheating: The Tour's first winner was disqualified the following year for hopping a train to take a shortcut during a stage.) However, Coyle resists the temptation to paint the entire sport and all of the athletes with a black brush. They are humans who do human things, both good and bad, and that's how Coyle sees them.
Of course, some of the things they do seem superhuman. These skinny men consume the caloric equivalent of three complete Thanksgiving dinners every day of the Tour de France. They ride for miles and miles, churning out four or five times the power a typical person could produce. They train in horrible conditions, isolated from their families, for months. They suffer fractures, muscle tears, and horrible road burns, then get back on their bikes for more racing. And the vast majority of them do all of this in near-complete anonymity; stars like Armstrong are very rare.
The book contains a HUGE amount of information about bike racing equipment, strategies, and team organization and financing. It also offers deep insight into many of the sport's stars, particularly Armstrong. There's an "I didn't know that!" moment on nearly every page, and reading it is literally an education in an activity that is wildly popular in Europe, but mysterious to most Americans. However, all of that information is woven into a fast-paced, page-turner of a story.
If you are looking for an expose that demolishes Armstrong or bike racing, this isn't it. If you're looking for a book that promotes the "Saint Lance" legend, this isn't it either. This is careful sports journalism at its finest. And it is superb writing that will fascinate you as you are reading and give you a lot to think about after you are done.
Peek inside the world of our sport's greatest legend.......2007-07-10
What a great book this is. After devouring it as quickly as I could, I'm reading it again to savor each morsel. I feel as though I've actually developed a relationship with the great Lance Armstrong--as though I have been granted access to his greatness at a deeper level. What makes this guy tick? Why is he the greatest cyclist the world has ever known? Read this book and you'll be about as close as you can get to the answer. Unless you're lucky enough to actually know him, this may be the next best thing.
Review of Lance Armstrong's War.......2007-06-19
I gave this book five starts because I could think of no reason not to do so. The book is non-fiction. It was very well written and accomplished what is set out to do.
If you are not a Lance Armstrong fan or a fan of professional cycling then this book will probably bore you. If you are looking for a book about the life of Lance with intimate details of his personal life, his family, etc. then you may want to read his other book IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BIKE. This book is a behind the scenes look at the Tour de France and professional cycling in general. The book discusses the scientific methods of training, drug testing and many other interesting things that go on in the sport. The book also gives information about the lives of other notable professional cyclists such as Jan Ullrich, Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis just to name a few.
Some quick advice before you start reading the book: read the section in the back of the book entitled "notes on the sport" first. Especially if you are not a fan or not familiar with professional cycling. This section will give you a better understanding of the terminology used throughout the book.
A word of caution if you are a parent and trying to decide if you child should read this book or not: This book contains a moderate about of profanity. So keep this in consideration.
