The Tuskegee Syphilis Study: An Insiders' Account of the Shocking Medical Experiment Conducted by Government Doctors Against African American Men
by
Fred D. Gray

I would recommend this book to people who are interested in learning about the Tuskegee Syphilis Study but don't want to get too immersed in details. I found this very easy to read. Mr Gray was the attorney who sued the US Government on behalf of the surviving participants.

I like this series, but it's a little disappointing how quickly the women go from head-strong, stubborn spit-fires to gushing little twinkies.

This is another great book in the Irish Country series. I love the quirky characters. Everytime a read one of Dr. Taylor's books, it's like going home.

Echoes

This is the first Maeve Binchy book I ever read, and it's still my favorite. I think the characters and story are realistic. Some people might feel the ending is unsatisfying, I thought it was a good one.

Once I got past the first few pages and realized who the narrator is, this is one of the best books I've ever read. Wonderful characters that draw you in. This story moved me like no other.

Help

I don't usually jump on a bandwagon, but this book was excellent. The characters drew you in, whether you loved or hated them. It evoked so much emotion, that I had to put it down for a few weeks at one point and pick it back up later.
