Q: Just Plain Dumb... . ...but that's to be expected since this is, after all, written for the sort of person who is somehow STILL behind the Bush Administration's foreign policy, even after more than four years of it.  Well, this much can be said: At least the author showed some consideration for his true audience by keeping things extremely short and simple.  Simplistic, in fact.  That audience is very easy to recognize--they're the ones, while reading this book-priced magazine article, whose lips are moving

A: NEG

Q: Excellent antidote to revisionist history! . This is a marvelous guide book.  We intended to visit Plymouth on our vacation this year but did not make it.  However, we plan to take this book with us when we go next year.  Dr. Jehle goes through all the signifcant sites at Plymouth and takes you through the history (the real history, not the revisionist, politically correct nonesense that passes for history today) of that site/monument in detail.  He acknowledges the contributions of both the Pilgrims and the native peoples and highlights the strong faith of our founders as well as that of many of those in the native population.  I highly recommend this, especially if you want to teach your children the history of our founding

Q: One of Walters' Best . THE SCOLD'S BRIDLE, in my opinion, is one of Minette Walters' best mysteries--at least one of her best I've read so far!  Her characters are well-developed, and the reader doesn't know from one page to the next who the murderer could be--NO ONE liked Mathilda, it seemed.  Throughout the police investigation, readers are faced with learning of Mathilda Gillispie's abusive and haunting background of secrets, lies, and deception.  Mathilda's character, though dead as the story begins, is developed more fully through her diary entries interspersed between chapters.  Having left all of her money to an unlikely person, her doctor Susan Blakeney, Mathilda's daughter and granddaughter are brought into the story assuming they would inherit Mathilda's wealth.  Readers find that Mathilda's daughter and granddaughter have experienced much of the intense emotional and physical abuse as Mathilda had.  This part of the story, no doubt, leaves readers pondering how abuse often perpetuates itself through generations.  Walters doesn't let on who the murderer is, and I'll admit, I was a little disappointed in its resolution given that the novel seemed more focused in a different direction.  Overall, I enjoyed this novel moreso than THE ICE HOUSE or THE SCULPTRESS, but they are all very good books, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Walters to readers wanting a good mystery
