Today's Inquirer reviews ...

... I was much taken with Barry Unsworth's The Ruby in Her Navel: A stroll toward havoc in 12th century.

And John Rossi is taken with H.W. Crocker's Don't Tread on Me: A 400-year foray through the thickets of American war.

The misleading headline notwithstanding - no, I don't write them - C.E. Chaffin has much good to say of Leonard Gontarek's Deja Vu Diner: A slight volume of poetry nonetheless is heavy going. (It is, after all, a compliment to call someone a poet's poet.)

Carlin Romano weighs some heavy reading: Worthy of coffee table and reading, too.

Katie Haegele also has some recommendations: Young Adult Reader Works delight, from covers to what's inside.

Last week ...

Elizabeth Fox praised Gordon Dahlquist's The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters: Intriguing, intelligent, and page-turning fantasy world.

John Freeman was impressed by Timothy Egan's the Worst hard Time: Dust Bowl: Human contributions to a natural disaster.

And, in case you missed it in an earlier link, David Montgomery liked Michael Crichton's Next: Crichton's focus turns to stem cells.
